96?

Eagan High School seniors lined up and waited for their commencement procession with their black robed teachers on Friday afternoon.  Glad his number "96" matched his shoes!  Why "96"?

Thank you for your visit on my blog.

Why didn't you ask him? Could be he is an athlete and wears that number.

I'm curious — why do they have two colors for the robes? For high school here, the robes are always just one color (assuming they use robes — not all do). Of course, it can be different in college depending on the school or course.

And since you pointed the 96 out, I want to know what it means too! ;D

My guess would be the number on his team uniform, but who knows! Thanks for visiting my blog and no I'm not in a "Lois" club. Both of my grandmothers were named Lois so that's where I got my name. I like it because it's so common. I do get a lot of "Lois Lane" remarks though, which gets old! You have a great blog!

We had two robe colors at our school too Hilda...boys one color, girls another. And the weird thing was they didn't match our two school colors which would have made more sense.
Got me on the 96, I'd guess a sports number.

Hi Leif,

Our high schools students normally don't wear gown for their graduation. So it's quite revealing to see others who do.

You have a very nice blog. I enjoyed my first visit and will be back every now and then.

Thanks for visiting and commenting on my blog the other day.

Kanskje han var den eneste som har drukket 96%? :) Nei, har ikke fått fly noen av dem, jeg får bare se på dem, hehe. Ha en fin helg.

There's no answer. Minnesotans do crazy things all the time; often by the number!

What can I say? 96 probably refers to the coldest day of last winter (that's below zero!)...

Or, it could refer to how many minutes remain of summer...

Or maybe he was born in 1996 and is a quick learner...

Or...

I give up. Too many possibilities.

Have a nice weekend and don't forget to take care of the numbered items on your "to-do" list!

Maybe his point average?

Leif Hagen said...

I found out later that the boy with the 96 number on his hat is a race car driver and his racing car number is 96!

congratulations, guys! Once we lived at a number 96! What about the position 96 in certain activities? I always like those yellow school buses and ours never have the engine jutting out the front now. Curious, I wonder why that model lives on and on.

Nice composition of color combinations

A lot of diversity there, in terms of footwear.

Och grattis på födelsedagen, i efterskott!
