Not too many years ago the Junior-Senior Prom lasted from • axly < vening* mtil ano ind n idnight. After the prom most of the boys and girls would go home, perhaps after a soda or hamburger at a local restaurant. A« always, however, there were a few who wanted to really "let go" on this night. They felt that this was their night to howl, and. of course they could howl louder and longer away from their home community For these few the prom, put on with much thought and effort by the Junior class, was only a springboard to wnere the real fun began It was their aut fling with their classmales as such, and they planned on "drinking up" as will as ■w H<pmg i’ up”. Tou.sev it was their fu < • xj euen e with drmk- ■■ ■ ■ ‘ b <ri tc: was an .ppoitHnity to tla .nt tm it guaitr expviicme in front of the.;' i A>*mates. So. aimed with a f< * uu 1 b«. g grown up and free at Li t fu>n. school disciplinary action, they wo ild take off to the dune* Tower Hill or wherever the.r fancy dictated and spend a few hours doing whatever appealed most to their lively imaginations. After a while it became -o much "the thing to do” that even the better behaved youngsters started participating in the after-prom carousing rati ■ r than be onsidered "wet blankets”. And fortunately, for the most part, they made it home safe and sound if not alert and sober.

These parents could see. however. that a great many parents were not about to oppose their youngsters. Instead of looking out for their own child's welfare, they decided to abet the minority group by organizing a supervised all-night proDi in order to keep the kids in the general vicinity of home. , Now let’s take a look at what this community effort «put forth by good people whose intentions I do not question, has accomplished! The same type of teenager who to>k off to other parts after the prom before, are still doing just that They are either slipping off at some stage of the < planned activity, or attending the supervised activity and then taking off for Tower Hill or some other spot away from community eyes and cars.
