STUDENTS at Mount Scopus Memorial College took part in the school’s first graduation ball on November 24, replacing the longstanding debutante ball that had been held annually by the college since 1956.
Described as a “celebration of our graduates”, the new format saw students individually presented with their graduation certificates.
The graduation ball broke with tradition — graduates no longer attended in couples and formal, choreographed dance routines were replaced by simcha-style dancing.
Gone was the tradition of female students wearing only white dresses, with both male and female graduates having the choice of wearing either all white or all black.
