 	SCENE 1 	Big Bird, Bob, Gordon, and Susan find that Hooper's Store is closed. Inside, they spot Mr. Hooper in an oversized gown and mortarboard practicing a speech. They deduce that he's completed his G.E.D. program and will be speaking at the graduation ceremony. They alert him of their presence and he sheepishly hides the outfit and speech. Mr. Hooper admits that his graduation ceremony is tonight and that he was first in his class. He pulls his speech from the wet rag he hid it under, making it illegible. Everyone agrees to help him out - Gordon and Bob will adjust his clothing, while Susan offers to type up his speech.

 	SCENE 4 	The graduation ceremony at Sesame High School is underway. Mr. Hooper is among several other adult graduates (including Donald C. Moore and Grisha Mynova) receiving their diplomas, as is the younger Jay Tucker. Throughout the process, Big Bird learns about what a diploma is and asks Gordon and Susan various questions regarding the ceremony. After Mr. Hooper receives his diploma (with the principal bungling his last name as Big Bird does), he steps to the podium to deliver his speech, which he is unable to find. Deciding to wing it, he recalls having dropped out of high school at the age of 14 to help support his family and how he always wanted to finish, thus returned through night courses. He concludes that he is very proud of this day, and his friends cheer and advance toward the stage to congratulate him.
