I went to my first prom when I was a sophomore and boyfriend Paul was a senior. I remember that we’d had a little tiff the day before prom but we went anyway. I had my hair done, teased into a birds nest. Mom sewed my dress. At dinner I didn’t know whether to take my gloves off or which piece of silverware to use for what. Thank goodness a teacher at our table saw my dilemma and without saying a word provided the examples I desperately needed.
And this was Paul’s ride.

Wow..I cant get over that car.is that an old rambler? Nice memories...
you look great in that prom frock...
hard to believe that was 39 years ago hunh?
where did the days go.
that car is an old chevy me thinks.
Gaelyn, isn't it lovely when we are young and naive, when someone notices our dilemma and silently helps us out? If you remember nothing else of note of the evening, surely that is a gem to store in your jewel box of memories.
Neat pictures! You looked beautiful!
Classic pictures!
Bummer, I must not have done something to save my earlier comment.
But I did say cool pictures. I don't even want to think about my prom, much less look at the picture. LOL.
Lovely, such a sweet memories. Very nice.
It is good to look back and remember these days.
I love your dress. You look lovely! It's so much fun to take a peak into the past!
I love this idea, too! (But I'll probably just watch instead of play due to not being able to add another thing.)
Love the prom photo, but really what I love the most is the teacher who helped you by example. How very kind!
What a great memory... and a neat meme theme (I might have to go check that one out)!
My prom 1976 picture looks pretty similar to that. Fun story and photo Gaelyn.
These are awesome! I love opening the Old Photo Vault!
