You know what I got for h.s. graduation ... of course this was 29 years ago ... about $100 in cash from various family members, and my parents sprung for me and my two best friends to go eat a post-graduation dinner at Pizza Hut. I thought I'd won the lottery at the time and I have fond memories of that, especially the dinner ... I still remember what I had, Cavatini Supreme, which I don't think Pizza Hut serves anymore ... with my friends who I've kind of lost touch with over the years. Try doing that with a graduating senior today, they'll try to find some way to take you to court, LOL!
Sounds like mine 8-) I couldn't believe the big parties people were having. I have fond memories of my dad bringing a couple of magazines to read during my graduation ceremony. He did it for every graduation in the household 8-)
