lol, our white gloves look silly! We have to wear them because every year they bring in a special guest who has to shake the hands of all the prizewinners (there are easily over 150 people) and, being a private school and having to maintain a snobbish image, they make us wear them so that the guest doesn't get sweaty hands.
btw. chait - do you know how many people aren't turning up to speech night?
