HW 57 - Initial Thoughts on Prom

          To me prom is a pivital moment and one of the most importants event in somebody's life.  No matter what gender (male or female), prom can be a life changing moment.  To some people prom is a party, but it is way more important than your average party.  Prom at some points is like a practice marrige.
         When I initially think about prom, the basics come to mind, music, dancing, boys ask girls to prom and to dance, photos and limo's. 
          A prom, short for promenade, is a formal (black tie) dance, or gathering of high school students. It is typically held near the end of the senior year. It figures greatly in popular culture and is a major event among high school students. High school juniors attending the prom may call it Junior Prom while high school seniors may call it Senior Prom. In practice this may be a combined junior/senior dance.
          At prom, a Prom Queen and Prom King may be revealed. These are honorary titles awarded to students chosen in a school-wide vote prior to the prom, and are usually given to seniors.[1] Juniors may also be honored, but would be called "Prom Prince" or "Prom Princess". Other students may be honored with inclusion in a "Prom Court". The selection method for Prom Court is similar to that of Homecoming Queen, King, and Court. Inclusion in a Prom Court is a reflection of popularity of those chosen and their level of participation in school activities, such as clubs or sports.
