Prom Night 1968 I was a 14 year old freckled face freshman, and this was the biggest day of my life. I was going to the prom. My date was a high school senior, and that was a very big deal. He was tall with blue eyes and a cute toothy grin. Of course I was madly in love, but had never been kissed. My dress was made of white chiffon with a huge satin bow, and my hair was teased into a puffy ball surrounding my head. A can of hairspray held it in place. I stared out the window until I saw his car, then made a mad dash for my bedroom, so I could sashay out, and make a grand entrance. He wore a white sport coat with a red carnation, and I thought I would never again see such a handsome thing. He had a pink flower for me, and made a clumsy attempt to pin it to my dress. Nearly pinning it to my breast he turned 3 shades of red and handed the flower to my mom. She laughed and whispered in my ear to have a good time, but to remember NOT to kiss on a first date. Of course I didn’t listen. The kiss was bliss, and I was forever in love. BloomingRose |

It was the only prom I ever attended. I think that's why it was such a special event for me. |
