Ed, I read about the prom night blues, where the 18-year-old girl couldn’t take her 21-year-old boyfriend, a decent kid who went to school there, because of his age. That’s ridiculous! These are good kids. Sure there are rules, but use some common sense. I hope they see the light, especially the principal, and let these kids enjoy themselves before they graduate.

They’ll enjoy themselves, but not at the prom.—Ed. note
