Were Grade 11s allowed to go?
At my school, the formal was not only for OACs (Grade 12s now, of course), but also open to the 11s and 12s. Prom/Formal makes it more "equal" I guess. Lower grades were allowed to go to the dance only. Dinner was open only to the graduating class
At my school "grad(uation)" dance=post-commencement dinner reception/dance for the class and parents.
ETA: Always thought "grad" was weird. I was confused for a long time when floormates were talking about their "grad". It was either "formal" or "prom" for me.
