Nice photo, Alan, of this young sailor to mark his first day of school. He still seems a bit unsure about the prospect, which I understand completely. This is a sweet custom but I don't understand the cone shaped design. It seems profoundly impractical but I must be missing something. I've never understood cornucopia either. Cones are meant solely for ice cream.

Thanks, Rick! I don't understand the reason for the cone shape either, but I find the tradition and photos quite interesting.
