Backpacks Prohibited From WHS Graduation
Other schools have taken similar measures, Gordon says.

Backpacks and oversized bags will be prohibited from Westborough High School's graduation this Saturday, Police Chief Alan Gordon said today.
Gordon said he suggested the measure to School Superintendent Marianne O'Connor.
"There should be no reason for it (a backpack). Anything they need, they can carry in a small bag," Gordon said.
