Jostens salutes the proud hghi shcolo graduates

Jostens has always managed to get the rings correct, as far as I know, but their track record on diplomas doesn't look too good:

Poor spelling could prevent hundreds of high school seniors from getting their diplomas next week - but it's not the students' fault. Officials in Lee County in southwest Florida said some diplomas showed up with misspelled names for students and school board members; at least one degree misspelled "chairman." Some diplomas didn't arrive at all.

School district officials said Jostens, a Minneapolis-based company that leads the market for graduation paraphernalia, is to blame.

The students will still graduate - provided they passed the FCAT - but their diplomas will just have to wait until the company can correct the errors.
