Graduation preparations are underway across the country with all of the excitement. There's a little more excitement than usual in Ramona at Caney Valley High School where a female student wants to show her pride in her American Indian heritage by wearing her eagle feather on her mortar board. The girl is of the Delaware tribe and Assistant Chief Bonnie Jo Griffith said that federal law states that it's legal for the student to use the feather for that purpose.

Lisa Griffith, the students mother, spoke before the Caney Valley Oklahoma School Board on Monday night. School board members took no action and made no comments in the matter. Graduation is scheduled for May 21^st.
