MINSK, 29 May (BelTA) – Belarusian high-school graduates said farewell to school in a time-honored tradition that includes the ceremonial ringing of "the Last Bell". The trademark act of the day involves one of the male graduates carrying a little first-grader on his shoulders while the child rings a large bell.
