"Russ of honor"

Every year young Norwegian students graduate high-school and they call them selves "RUSS" . They party and celebrate that 3 years of high-school finally is over ! And every year they appoint a "Russ of honor". 

This year the students at Numedal Videregående skole  appointed the Cafeteria lady at school.

 She got a big red "Russe-hat " and this picture .
