The only other times the caps may
be worn are at special academic
functions. Graduates may wear their
caps on the day when their chil-
dren receive caps.

and college students wear their caps
on the first of May. Everybody puts
on their caps at midnight. April 30.
In Helsinki the students try to put
a cap on a statue of a mermaid in
the middle of a fountain. They sing
and parade up and down the streets
all night long. The next day more.
formal celebrations take place. Hel-
sinki students meet and sing tradi-
tional songs on a hill in the city.
