People spend major bucks for their proms in Manhattan. Thousands of dollars for clothes, tickets, stretch Hummer limos, hotel rooms, and weekend trips. Parents even give their children champagne which surprised me when I first heard about it. It's quite indulgent and contrary to the mission of Catholic schools.
I went to a private school. My prom consisted of me wearing a Gunne Sax dress, taking a limo to the Swan Club, and then going to the Copacabana. We couldn't get into Tunnel or Limelight. We ended the night by having shakes at a diner.
