Having a big party (called a "prom" ) in the jun“or a”d

senior years of high school is a great American tradition. It's

a special night’which people plan carefully, and remember

for the rest of their lives.

The high school prom season usually starts in April and

continues through May. Planning starts as early as February,

however, when the magazines and stores begin to show prom

fashions. There is a lot of organization to be done. Proms are held in many different places. Some schools still hold

their proms in schools gymnasiums but this is considered a

bit old-fashioned now. Most high schools today have their

Junior and Senior proms at a hotel or country club. Girls

spend a long time deciding what kind of dress to wear and

fashions change from year to year, and from school to school.

Fashions range from cocktail dresses to full ball gowns and

can be extremely glamorous. Sometimes girls have their

dresses specially made by dressmakers. Boys generally wear

tuxedos. Each year there are different styles, but as the

proms are quite traditional occasions, classic clothes are

usually a good choice.
