These are two pages from my life story scrapbook I am making.
Ed & Mary
My Senior Prom Story
Senior Prom
May
1965
My
date was Ed and now I can’t remember his last name and he was my best friend’s
older brother. Barb was my first roommate
after LPN school. Funny how I can
remember things we did together and were we meet but can’t remember her full
name.
I
made my dress, it was a bride’s mail pattern and I wasn’t an experienced enough
seamstress at the time to know how to change the sleeves. I also think at the time I liked the idea of
the long sleeves but I didn’t like them the night of the prom, too warm. It was a beautiful shade of teal with white lace
trim. The fabric had a satin finish,
very slippery fabric to work with.
After
the dance, which I have no recollection of where it was, we took a cruise bot
down the International Waterway in Fort Lauderdale. Ed and I dance a lot but we had absolutely
nothing in common and it was nice of him to take me to my prom. It was and last date. I didn’t date a lot in high school but I had
a date for the Senior Prom.
