When a guy went to pick up his date, they both endured a camera happy parent as they got just one more picture, and then they went on to one of the better local restaurants for dinner. junior Sally Ross found it interesting to see how different people looked as well as acted with the guys in tuxes and the girls trying to act sophisticated.
