The Prom. One of the most romantic dates, the prom creates memories to be cherished throughout life. You’re on Candid Camera! Todd Fisher and Stacey Sink smile for the camera as they stand in the halls. Almost Heaven.

Couples could be seen walking to classes together, waiting for each other at their lockers, and eating lunch together. Talking on the phone was a major part of the dating game. Guys and girls called each other, talked for hours, and made plans for the weekend. Guys asked girls out and girls asked guys out; it was perfectly acceptable either way. Some went out as friends, others went out as something more than friends. Before the date, the girls spent hours getting ready. The guys did not take quite as long getting ready. The guys did not take quite as long getting ready, but they did some worrying, especially about money. The cost of gas, dinner and whatever they chose to do was quite great. But they didn’t have to worry for long; a ‘‘new’’ thing called ‘‘going dutch’’ was in style, so girls paid for their own expenses and the guys only had to worry about gas and good impressions. There were lots of things to do on dates. Couples could be seen at the malls, shop- ping, seeing a movie, at the bowling alley, skating rinks, teen night clubs, and restaurants. There were also school spon- sored activities for students to enjoy. The dating game was a fun game to play and loaded with memorable experiences.
