In For An Expensive Evening Prom, a word that for many means special moments and a night to remember, strikes terror in the hearts of oth- ers. Why? Very simply, someone has to pay for it. 1988 was no different. The average tux rental cost a measly 70 dollars unless, of course, you were the poor shmo who wore the tux to school for a month before the dance in order to get a huge discount. Didn't that pose a problem in P.E.? A decent meal, “decent meaning not served in styro- foam. ran for nearly $50. in- cluding tips, appetizers, and such. For 50 dollars, the waiter should have done transmission work on your car and massaged your feet while you ate. These ex- penses. piled on the cost of a twelve dollar ticket for the dance itself rang up to a small fortune. A neat idea would have been for the school to just give students the prom tickets as a sort of a gift of pity. At least the fruit kabobs were free. We've already made a point of talking about Prom 1988. but what about future Proms? The advice of one who has survived the ordeal is this ... Spend as little money as possible; that’s our goal, right? This can be done in a number of ways. First forget the old tradition of formal dress. You'll have a much better time if you're loose and comfortable. Besides. Dad's brown denim sport coat may be the in thing next spring. Second, forget buying expensive flowers that will probably be man- gled by the end of the night. A healthy houseplant is sure to please any date. Howev- er. it is not advisable to at- tempt to pin a flourishing potted plant to your dates dress as most of them con- tain aphids and other organ- ic creatures, but it is possi- ble to strap a small bonsai tree to the wrist. Third, the meal; scratch it. Tell your date that if she thinks that she'll be hungry by the end of the night, bring a sack lunch. Plus, you can fill up on appetizers at the dance. A crafty couple should be able to clear the entire snack ta- ble before any other guests arrive. Three steps, easy to follow, that could make your Prom much happier and cost-efficient. Prom 21
