Cap/gown/tassel/medallion unit - complete area #1 & 4 on order form – cost $36.00 TOTAL (NO handling, shipping or taxes)

If a senior is using a previous graduates cap & gown then they must order a tassel & medallion unit and complete area #1 on order form and let Mrs. Sawyer know this that they are ordering just the tassel and medallion unit.  There are no taxes or shipping/handling on tassel/medallion unit.
