About Hey! Da- Day
United States
Ends: Apr 28, 2022
DESCRIPTION:
Hey Day at the University of Pennsylvania combines the customs of Straw Hat Day and Graduation into a single event known as Hey Day. It is explained like this:
It all started in 1916. Hey Day was established as a "Moving-Up" celebration, modeled after a similar custom recently established at Syracuse University. Its purpose was formal, to mark the advancement of each class.
In 1931, Class Day and Hey Day were officially combined into a single celebration, with Ivy Day also being moved to the same date. At the time, the celebration consisted of a traditional ceremony in Irvine Auditorium, followed by the planting of the ivy plant.
Hey Day included the reading of the Class History, Class Prophecy and Class Poem, the presentation of the four Senior Honors Awards and the announcement of those elected into various honorary societies. Through the years, the emphasis of Hey Day shifted from the formal assemblies to student celebration, marked by the introduction of the Parade of Classes in 1937 and the incorporation of the Junior Cane March in 1965.
In recent decades Hey Day represents the official passage of the junior class to senior status and is characterized by thousands of marching students parading around campus sporting fake straw hats, red T-shirts and canes.
