DH and I went to both junior and senior proms and loved it. We both decorated I did the, what were called bids and mush of the decorations..I remember my first dress was pink netting and second was a tomato red chiffon, shoes to match..out to dinner first, the first one was at my home and his mom and mine plus my dad waited on us hand and foot..Life was good then. I had a wonderful time

Went to 6th grade graduation dance, and both the Jr/Sr Prom with the same little girl -- We had a good time -- I still can't get rid of her - :LOL:
 
I went to my prom. It was wonderful! I had a lovely time. It was 1985 and I wore a big hoop skirt under my dress, yes I did. I probably looked like Scarlett O'Hara but I felt like a princess.
 
First prom we went and did the limo thing, then the city, stayed out all night ....

Second prom we were smart enough to realize we wasted our time and money the first time around, so ford escort instead of limo, zoo the next day , then to the beach in the hamptons instead of the city and had a much better time not trying to fit in to the " in crowd'
 
She followed you home Uncle Bob?? lol

Paul was in Japan with the Marines so I didn't want to go and be a wall flower.
 
We call it Grad up here not Prom but I went. I kinda had to as I was singing at the commencement and at the party! LOL.
So does the dance coincide with graduation? Here the Prom is usually a month or two before graduation and something else is done to celebrate graduation. Some schools have a trip somewhere, like Washington D.C. Our school had Grad Nite at Disneyland.

I love all the Prom/No Prom stories here!

I voted no I didn't want to go, because I would have been laughed out of school. I didn't have any friends in school and I wouldn't have known about it being a 'formal' affair as well as not having anybody to pal around with. High School was not a good time for me.
 
I know what you mean. We were new in town and I started a few weeks into the school year in 10th grade. Tenth grade was pretty much just a non-descript year. Eleventh grade was terrible. I was really shy (until someone got to know me) and I was lost in my thoughts so much that people thought I was stuck-up. A few kids started making fun of me so badly that I actually developed agoraphobia. Twelfth grade was much better. I had a few friends and a boyfriend, but I never got involved in school activities.

:huh:Barbara
 
The night of my prom started out good... My Mom and her BF (at the time) took pictures of us, and we went out for a really nice italian dinner. Then it decided to rain... downpour all night long. Our prom was held at a local ski lodge about 30 minutes outside my hometown. Trying to walk up wood stairs with heals in sheets of rain was horrible. I wasn't the only girl there who was soaked.

Once we got there, it just wasn't much fun... From what I remember, no one really danced or anything. We didn't stay that long.
 
I am and was 5'9" and when I was in high school (in the early 70s) that was the kiss of death. I also moved every couple of years so was always the new girl in school. One day my newest friend convinced me to go to a dance with her and two guys. Little did I know that both guys thought that they had a date with her (she, of course was actually considerably shorter than the guys in question). I spent a miserable, and I do mean miserable night while both guys tried to get my (cute 5'1" friend) to dance with them, while I wallflowered my night away.

Ironically, when prom time came around one of those boys started lingering around my house, wanting me to go to the prom with him. He actually got his mother to get my mother to let him take me to the prom.

I got a baby-sitting job for the night and told my mother to tell his mother that he should treat people better.

So, didn't get to the prom, and suspect I'm better for it.
 
49 years ago and you expect me to remember? LOL I think I went, but I can't remember with whom. Maybe I'll find out next year at our 50th. reunion, if anybody else is still alive. . . . . . . It doesn't seen like it, but that's a long time ago.
 
Dh was already my steady boyfriend then and he took me. We had a great time. The next door neighbor came over to help me dress and brought me her diamond earrings to wear. It would be about 35 years before I'd have diamond earrings of my own.
 
I went because it's a right of passage...you have to go. I didn't want to go...but I went with my best friend, who was also dateless (two girls mind you) and it was lame. It wasn't lame because we were there together, but because you really have to enjoy the highschool you go to, to enjoy a room full of those same jack***es all night.
