Our school had a junior-senior prom. It was a small school so I guess they needed two classes to fill the Elks Club ballroom. Don't remember my gown or date my junior year. I'd have to get out the yearbook--wherever it is. :0 My senior year I was dating a guy from the next town. I was very small and we had a terrible time finding a gown to fit. I don't know why my mother didn't make it. She always made our clothes. About a month before prom, mother and daddy went to Columbus, Ohio to visit my aunt and uncle and mother found the prettiest dress. It was a size 3 and she had to alter it. It was short, dusty rose organdy with spaghetti straps (nothing to hold up a topless gown). Across the bodice was a row if deep rose and dusty rose organdy flowers that could be removed (I kept them). I loved that dress! My date brought me a corsage of pink baby roses with babies breath that I pressed and kept for years. After the prom ended at midnight (a treat for all of us to be up that late back then), the Seniors had an all-night party. It was also at the Elks Club. We all changed into bermuda shorts, which were the new hot thing, and danced, played games and ate until about 5 when they served us breakfast. It was a lot of fun and emotional because we were graduating and sure we'd never see each other again. You know how emotional HS girls can be. A lot of kids in my class ended up back in R-ville. Nice little town to raise a family. It'll be 50 years next month since that prom night. Sure wish I was going to the reunion in June!

We didn't have a camera when I was in school. I didn't have any pictures. I've been looking around the house to see where I've stuck my senion year book. There is a pic. in there although I don't like it. But if I find my book while this post is still around I'll scan the picture.

Oh so young! When I first got married I was going through the box of pictures and there was my prom picture...DH had ripped it in half so that all that was remaining was the picture of me. My date disappeared. Why it mattered to him I do not know. It was just a date and he meant nothing to me. The only reason I went with him was because my brother made me. He was a friend of my brothers and I didn't want to hurt his feelings.

I imagine that those two will end up taking life's bumps with ease. If that picture doesn't make you smile you might want to check your bu**, you may have something stuck up it. Such a cute couple!!
