I went to two proms in my junior year and one in senior year. Proms back then were really lavish and never held in a high school gym. We had them at country clubs with live bands. All the girls with long hair got our hair done professionally at the beauty shop in an up do called simply, "curls." After proms were usually a fancy breakfast buffet after which you finally went home to sleep. The next day was a trip to Cedar Point a very big, and nice amusement park (even bigger today) and an evening hay ride. Girls never wore revealing gowns and nobody had a hotel room to go to after the prom.
