I think it could be very "Great Gatsby"-ish.
Prom in a gym is not prom, it's another school dance.

The issue with Prom season in Iowa, it's usually in April-May and weather is very unpredictable. It could be 70 and sunny, it could be 30 and snowing. Besides, most likely, no one would have had a suitable area to hold it or we would have to sit through senior Prom smelling pig shit. Honestly, Prom wasn't all that big of a deal in my hs. Hardly anyone got limos; if you spent over $100 on a dress, that was being extravagant; we didn't have a Queen/King -- it
was just another dance where you got a little more dressed up. Sometimes I think it would have been cool to go to a school where it was more of a big deal, but eh...
Now, back to your regularly scheduled topic.
