If you go to a football game, a rock concert or a fraternity kegger, you will not be surprised to find people screaming, laughing, bumping chests, ringing cowbells, baying at the moon and generally shedding their inhibitions. If you attend a wedding ceremony, a funeral or a confirmation, however, you may expect those around you to comport themselves in a polite and restrained manner.
School commencement exercises used to fall into the latter category, but they have been moving— make that descending—toward the former. The question being addressed in Galesburg, 111. , is whether to surrender to that

or try to reverse it. And I’m happy to report that school officials there not only favor reversal but have actually managed to bring it about.
They adopted several reforms, the most important of which was to establish clear rules and require students and parents to sign forms listing forbidden conduct—such as yelling, dancing, making gestures, using noisemakers and other "disruptive behavior".
The school also spelled out the consequences "should the graduating student and/or family/friends admitted to the ceremony" misbehave: The student would be barred from the school party and would not get an actual diploma(though he or she would still be considered a graduate). An insert went into the commencement program in case anyone needed one last reminder.
Administrators say the new policy produced a huge improvement. But this year, a few recalcitrants had to test the limits, and the school decided to withhold diplomas from five students. They were offered the chance to get their diplomas by performing eight hours of community service. On Wednesday, though, school officials relented, saying it was time "to move on".
At a typical graduation, most people don’t need to be told to show courtesy and respect for others. But there are always some attendees who insist on calling attention to themselves. And all it takes is a handful of the unruly to spoil the experience for everyone else.
Some people think that a commencement is a celebration, and that celebrations by definition should be unrestrained. By that logic, wedding guests should be blowing noisemakers during the recitation of vows. Modern America does not lack for parties. What it increasingly lacks is rituals that treat landmarks in life with a sense of solemnity.
School officials in Galesburg may have fallen short of a perfect solution, but they at least are trying to preserve a tradition their community values. They understand that a society which treats every happy occasion as a frolic is a society in danger of forgetting that some moments are worthy of dignity, respect and even awe.
The author argues that in some special Occasions people are expected______.
