//**__Graduation and Convocation Attire__**//

Girls should wear white or light colored dresses underneath caps and gowns with white shoes. Boys should wear dress shirts with ties and slacks with brown or black dress shoes. Sneakers and sandals are **__not acceptable__**.

//**__Awards Ceremony Attire__**//

Members of the Senior Class will be seated on the stage and therefore should be wearing dress attire (girls in dresses, boys in dress shirts, ties and slacks). No caps and gowns. Again, footwear should include dress shoes... not sneakers, flip-flops, sandals or swim fins!

We will be going to Peaks Island so the dress is casual, comfortable, and weather dependent. We all know how fickle the weather in Maine is, so please make sure sweatshirts and/or windbreakers are on the packing list. Sunglasses, sunscreen and hats might be a good idea as well. Most of the kids are planning on wearing their senior T-shirts which is great for pictures.

The final day of classes for seniors is Wednesday, June 3. Classes will be ending at 11:00 a.m. Caps and gowns will be distributed to all seniors who have fulfilled obligations with regard to return of books, sports uniforms, fees, etc. Caps and gowns should be ironed because on Thursday, we will have a professional photographer here to take a class photo and individual photos of seniors in their caps and gowns. Order forms will be sent home prior to this day for purchase of photos.

At noon on Wednesday, seniors will have their first marching practice in the gym. Girls should wear (or bring) the shoes (white) they plan to wear on Graduation Day as the kids will be arranged by height. In addition to marching practice, seniors will practice their class song. Attendance at this and subsequent marching practices is mandatory.

Thursday, June 4, is a day for marching practice in the gym as well as at the First Parish Church for this evening's Convocation. Seniors should arrive at YHS by 8:00 a.m. with caps and gowns in hand. The morning will be spent on marching practice, class song, graduation program, and photos (individual and class). Seniors will then meet at the First Parish Church to practice for Convocation. We will practice until we feel we are ready for all ceremonies
