"Prom Night: Youth, Schools, and Popular Culture" by Amy L. Best

The prom is the biggest event for upperclassmen in high school. A lot of thought goes into who will be your special date on that night, and most importantly what you will wear on that night. In most cases, the girl puts the most thought into her prom dress, but nowadays guys are putting just as much thought into their attire. Even though these couples put a lot of effort into their prom "costumes," their fashion taste is very questionable. Here are 10 of the best examples of this phenomenon.Number One: The Casablanca Couple.

High school, for many, is commonly termed as “the greatest four years of your life.” It is stopping for coffee with your friends while listening to your favorite songs on the way to school in the morning. It is staring at the clock waiting for the bell to ring to finally go to your favorite class of the day. It is staying after a long day of class for meetings, clubs, or sports, or it is spending Friday nights with your best friends performing under the football field lights. High school can be many different experiences for different people, but most importantly, for me, it was learning essential values of life while shaping me into the person that I am today.

High school Commencement in the United States is a tradition like no other. Every June, high school seniors dress in their Sunday best and head to the tried-and-true ritual. Parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles swarm to secondary institutions with their cameras in hand. With the sea of hats and gowns, the graduating class is unified and united. Over the recent decades, Commencements across the United States have incorporated cords and stoles. These emphasize both communal and individual achievements throughout students’ secondary education and their community. At Chisago Lakes High School (CLHS), these achievements are recognized at Commencement with a variety of cords. Students who participate in the National

Bridesmaids would wear matching blue jean cut-offs and halter tops – with more skin showing than not.

Prom is supposed to be a very exciting night. I think finding a date for prom is even more exciting. You see my school has this thing called grand march and you have to have a prom date/ friend to even participate in the walk. So if you are a loner you can’t go. Well my experience finding a prom date so I wouldn’t be a loner was quite the adventure.

Well I'm more awake than this morning, and I'm braining better. Since the prom spread is Megan x2, Emily, and Mine's I just was wondering if you know what Dani has in terms of prom-posal pictures, or information. Next class I would like to gather those resources so that we're not scrambling next Monday. Also since this is Dani's spread should we keep the title and layout, and everything and just plug in pictures or take creative control. I'm fine with any of them but I don't want to overstep/understep my boundries.

Within a few decades, the practice of designating a valedictorian had become an established tradition,” (Talbot 229). Talbot uses these fun facts to show how the position of valedictorian has changed over the years going from just one to top 25 due to the fighting and competition.This adds logos to the argument because these statements can be proven. Because nowadays more kids are doing better in school, it should be hard just to pick one valedictorian due to the fact that they are willing to fight to be a one. Talbot again wants to show that the title of valedictorian is just another way “to show off to the local taxpayers” (Talbot 229). Talbot uses the term “taxpayer” to connote that the title of valedictorian isn’t as big and important as some people may take it to be. It really is only important to the family of the valedictorian no one else really cares. She uses an appeal to tradition in this case to show how the older the tradition the more it needs revision through time. At the end of the day, whether families like it or not, schools have the right to decide how many valedictorians they

High School culture has changed since the “old days.” Students from all grades are not only striving for academic success, but also participate in many extracurricular activities as outside forces continue to impact social life. With this comes the typical struggles of students figuring out who they are, and what kind of person they want to become as college becomes a daunting factor.

Last year, both a male couple and a female couple attended prom, and according to the Student Council President, it was no big deal.

One of Melinda’s main problems is that she, like many youths entering high school, has a stereotypical vision of what her experience should be like. In her mind at least, high school is a time for dating, alcohol, and parties. Because of this, she thinks that she needs to act and dress a certain way to get people to like her; she is deeply afraid of rejection and is insecure. Her immersion into high school culture went smoothly at first, but ultimately her naivety will make her an outcast, forced to watch her peers from the sidelines.

When I read through “A Prom divided” I find myself not surprised, sadly. This is something that really shows what the United States is coming to. So many people seem to be worried about what other people are like according to their appearances. They need to stop judging people by their looks and realize that the personality in someone and who they are is all that really matters. People everyday are not getting to do certain things because of some reason that should not define what they should be able to do. This seems to be a issue that I don’t think would and hope would never happen at my school or in my community. When the article talks about the prom being divided this made me so sad and paste for these high school students that had to go

Over 40 residents attended the senior prom. There was a photo-booth, nail painting, music for the residents to dance to, and coffee and cookies after. Before the prom started, chamber choir sang and the band played a few songs.

Formals, like Prom are part of the American Culture. In fact, it is a cultural ritual because it has intentional symbolic meaning; it is a rite of passage. From clothing, to music, to who you ask is all part of the social bond of Formals. The biggest, most important part and daunting moment is asking out the person you wish to accompany you to the Formal. The entire

Everybody knows how important it is to girls to find the perfect homecoming dress in high school. I had already been looking for my ideal dress for a while in the department stores closest to me. It was time to result to online shopping and I had found a website that sold Sherri Hill look-alike dresses. I found a short, sheer, strapless, blue dress that looked like it was for a princess with jewels on it. The reviews said that it was a trustworthy website and me even being able to enter my exact measurements, I thought I had found my perfect dress.
