What's Yow I.Q. on Graduations ? www 11 i j j. Iune is the month of two impor tant ceremonies: graduations and wed dings. Taking first things first, here are some questions and answers on gradu ations. If you answer more than half correctly, you may go to the head of the class! 1. Why are the final school exercises called a commencement? Because years ago the graduate re ceived a testimonial permitting him to commence teaching or practicing his profession. 2. Why are diplomas referred to as sheepskins? Because, before paper came into com mon use, all important documents were written either on sheepskin or calfskin. 3. What does the word salutatorian mean? It means welcomer or greeter. The graduation salutatorian has the honor of making the welcoming address. 4. What does the word valedictorian mean? It means "sayer of farewell." The valedictorian expresses the sentiments of his fellow graduates on leaving school. 5. Where does the use of caps and gowns come from? Edwin R. Moore, a leading maker of academic gowns, has traced the custom to medieval England. At some English schools, students wear gowns every day. fi. What about the colors of these graduation costumes? College graduates wear black; high school and elementary-school graduates wear gray, blue or maroon, and Catholic and private schools usually wear white. 7. What is the standard-size diploma? They average six by eight inches, but not so many years ago they measured 19 by 24. 8. Is it customary to frame a diploma? Not any more. Of course, in some pro fessions, the diploma is put on display because it is also a license to practice; but most are stored away as a memento. 9. Is it proper to applaud individual graduates as they get their diplomas? This depends on the individual school. Many will ask you to wait until all the diplomas have been awarded, and ap plaud the entire class. 10. What is the meaning of the stiff, square cap worn by graduates? Some believe the head covering was made to resemble the scholar's books. Others claim the "mortarboard" is pat terned after the tool used by medieval master craftsmen. "You teldom find eaglet thi far North." "I'm the happiest person in the world Since Kellogg's ALL-BRAN overcame my irregularity" Millions of people have dis covered this gentle, natural way to get relief from constipa tion due to tack of good food bulk. As Ellen Drozd, Lancas ter, Mass., writes: " tried everything imagina ble. Finally bought Kellogg's All-Bran. Now I'm the happiest person in the world since it overcame my irregularity. I also enjoy the flavor." If constipation is your prob lem, put your trust in nature and try Kellogg's All-Bran. All-Bran restores the natural laxative bulk that so many of us fail to eat. This is why All-Bran often works in cases where chemical or drug-type laxatives (intended for tempo- 7 IT?:" A V-TP An ounce of prevention daily (in the form of All-Bran) can do wonders to help keep you regular. rary relief) don't seem to help. All-Bran is made from the vital outer layers of wheat. It has the delicious flavor of old time bran muffins. Wholesome, nutritious and inexpensive. Made by Kellogg's, All-Bran is the original, rendy-to-eat bran cereal. Eat All-Bran for 10 days. See if it doesn't bring you natural regularity. If not satisfied in every re spect, simply return the empty carton and get twice what you paid. That's a promise from Kellogg'sof Battle Creek, Mich.
