They wrote a book about my High School and our Proms

Anthony · 09-27-2005

Pennsbury is a typical, middle-class American high school not particularly distinguishable from others except for its larger-than-life prom productions. For more than 30 years, the school has carried on a tradition of such elaborate proms that it attracts occasional media attention, and neighbors line up to watch the parade of promgoers who have in past years passed by in cement mixers and dogsleds. Eschewing hotels and banquet halls, Pennsbury students hold their prom at the school but with extraordinary fanfare and decorations. Bamberger focuses on the prom from its planning in September until the big night in May, chronicling what compels students, parents, and teachers to invest so much of themselves in the prom and exploring what the productions signify about life in contemporary America. Among those he follows: Matt, who has progressed from the class clown to class president, and Stephanie and Rob, new teen parents who must find a baby-sitter so they can attend the prom. Bamberger's account is an amusing and insightful look at an American rite of passage. Vanessa Bush
