Eighth Grade Graduation. or as they call it here, Eighth Grade Continuation. Why? You've got me. I can surmise that it's because the majority of the 8th graders are continuing on to 9th grade in the same school district but, as my dad pointed out, then why isn't there a continuation ceremony every year? So, they call it Continuation but we call it Graduation.
The difference between 8th grade girls and 8th grade boys is quite striking. As they were arrayed up on the stage, the girls physically hinted at their approaching adulthood while the boys brought to mind the youth they were leaving behind.

Hi Bridge, quite well said about the girls and the boys. The girls looked like young women while the boys looked like...well, boys.
There is a charm about 14 year old boys that's often overlooked.
The girls do seem to be in another country socially and physically.
Why make it that way? Another mystery.
