Perpich Center for the Arts Class of 2005 Graduation I - Got Ethics?

Here is my brother taking his walk to receive his diploma. The highlight of the graduation for me and my family. I was positively elated to see him take his final walk as a high school kid!

As you may know or can tell, the Perpich Center for the Arts is rather non-traditional. There was no valedictorian. The is no football team. There wasn't even a band playing Pomp and Circumstance.

The kids could wear whatever they wanted to the graduation. My brother chose to wear big 80s blue-blockers and a sport-coat over a tee-shirt. How very L.A. He better get used to the part, because he'll be moving to Santa Monica in the fall. California, here comes Evan!

Some of the other outfits that stuck with me was the girl in the bee costume (how very Blind Melon!), the kid in the Stalin era-esq military formal wear, and the girl wearing a mortor with artifical grassy turf and a flower on her head. Very creative!

At my graduation, I just remember feeling self-concious about not having any special honors stripes and being kind of fat.
