<p>At Groton the surprise holiday is announced by an unveiling of a green sports coat. One unveiling did involve a helicopter with (I think) the head of school wearing the coat jumping out of the helicopter when it landed. The new head “presented” his new son to the school wrapped in the green jacket a few years ago. Many years ago I had the pleasure of ripping of an overcoat and unveiling the green coat while taking an “official” all-school photo. Very cool feeling to simply wear a jacket and send 350 kids into a mob-like frenzy.</p>
