A prom was not the end of the world, even if you had to endure a lot of Bon Jovi and OMD. And anyway, this happened like 10 years ago! So relax, let it go, Sarah. We can't all be hard-core frummies.

It was very Un-Jewish to say the least. That is against Halachah and VERY rebellious, no matter what YOU think about it. It was very Un-Jewish to say the least.

Since Daughter of Ziyon is a computer design goddess, and she is in a high school with similar restrictions, I will certainly pass on this idea to her. Thanks! Dina:

And yes, wine guy, the secrecy provides a little bit of a buzz. But the prom is usually all about the chicks anyway. Fancy clothes, hair and makeup help us "play wedding." And it's a good thing, too--because look how long some of us end up waiting for the real thing... (I'm kidding...a little.) Thanks, Gary.

And probably, you've never been one. Our prom was a small-budget affair, so I think it was $50 a person, $85 a couple (a bargain to go together...why pay retail?). So it wasn't that much. But it was really a big graduation party, which we sorely deserved after four years of school from 7:45am to 5:30pm (and that's without extra-curriculars)...

Since we weren't allowed any fun, we made an alternative interactive cd to go along with the yearbook that we geeky computer kids (go Flash girls!...um, Macromedia Flash girls) put together. And that was where we had our fun! Elder,

I approve... It is undoubtedly testament to your story-crafting skills that you were able to create an "alternate reality" where there was a joint prom with Bais Yaakov. And what a prom that must have been... Elder, the subversive ways of the force are strong with you. I approve…

In my pretty right-wing yeshiva, when I graduated in 1979, we made an underground mimeographed yearbook (since the yeshiva didn't like the idea of yearbooks.) In that yearbook I composed a story called The Prom describing in detail the happenings at a fictional prom with the local Bais Yaakov. (Mostly, the story made fun of the graduates by describing their dates.) We placed the yearbooks on the shtenders of all the rebbeim the morning after we got our diplomas....to this day I think they believe the prom actually happened. Ahhhh…a flashback!
