1. Prom

   In the United States prom is a semi-formal 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. 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/Princess, King, and Court. Inclusion in a Prom Court may be a reflection of popularity of those chosen and their level of participation in school activities, such as clubs or sports. The Prom Queen and Prom King may be given crowns to wear. Members of the Prom Court may be given sashes to wear and photographed together.

   It would be awesome if we could all have a prom and be together. I mean I haven’t seen some of my classmates in over a year, this is one of the only times that we all get to share together.
