Natasha had invited us to a Vintage Prom. As I have never been to a formal prom I decided to invent one. Sixty years ago Miss Emma Parsons went to her Senior Prom and is now reminiscing about that wonderful time.When the invitation came, I couldn’t stop thinking about how much fun this trip down memory lane would be. I hadn’t thought about the Senior Prom in so many years and now we were all going to get together and share our memories of that wonderful time in our lives.
Adeline, who was my very best friend all through school, was also taking part. It will be so nice to see her again. After high school she got married and I left for College. We wrote for many years, but as time went by it became only a little note at Christmas.
Trying to decide where to start I pulled out my scrapbook and found the Prom pictures.. There was the whole class of 1947 and a picture of my special friends. Adeline was on the right with Ross beside her. I was right behind Adeline and Harold was on my right.. I had also saved the dance booklet. After Harold and I had gone on to different schools we finally lost touch with each other.
