STARRY NIGHT
Directions
Theme:
Date: April 16
Where: Nemesis Shrine Center Parkersburg, WV
When: 7-10 p.m.
Food and Snacks
At Prom there will be small
snacks and appetizers. Since
everyone goes to dinner before
prom, it doesn’t make sense to
over do it with food. Prom anyway.
There will be fruit, vegetable and
cheese trays with minature chicken
salad sandwiches. There may also
be small snacks like chips and dips.
Prom Promise
Prom Promise will be held at
SMHS on Friday, April 15. There
will be a field trip for juniors
and seniors to Ohio University.
Take the pledge to not drink
and drive. The student council
has worked very hard to put
together Prom and Prom Promise.
Out of School Guests
To bring an out of school guest you
must get a form from the office and have
it filled out by the guest and his/her school
principal. The form will then be submitted
to our school and be looked over. If the
student is seen as unfit to go to our prom
or is over the age of 21 they will be denied.
Formal Dress
When entering Prom you must be
dressed formally! No boots, jeans, t-shirts
or anything that isn’t classified as formal.
If you question whether or not it is formal
then it probably isn’t. It is a rule. You
will not be allowed in the Prom venue
if you show up out of formal dress.
Ticket Prices
Where to get pictures
This year there will be a fee if you have not paid your
class dues. If your class dues have been paid, tickets are
$20 each and must be purchased prior to the dance. The
ticket price covers your admission, food, drinks, t-shirt and
goodie bag. If you have not paid your class dues you will
be charged an extra $10, making your ticket $30 a piece.
This rule also applies if you are taking an underclassman.
Prom commitee members will be checking as you buy
your ticket to see if your dues are paid up to this year.

Pictures
Pictures are always a big deal during prom season,
but it’s not always the easiest to find a place that takes
good pictures for the right price. Lifetouch offers a
solution for you. They will take your picture with your
date or small group and you can get the picture packet of
your choice. Plus, they even offer a prom memory book.
This is kind of like a yearbook that exclusively includes
prom candids and portraits. Every couple or group that
gets their pictures taken will be featured in the book with
a wallet-sized photo. Prom is something that you won’t
want to forget, so why not make the memories last with
professional pictures and a memory book from Lifetouch?

when you might need to retouch your make up or blot a

MOST IMPORTANTLY:

few of the things that you
should consider bringing
with you on prom night.

Hairbush: Just in case your hair gets crazy while
you’re dancing. You’ll have a brush for backpack.

Bobbypins: Make sure you have extra
boobypins, at all times. These will make you
feel reliefed. If you lose one, or one falls out,

Extra money, always be prepared by having some
extra money, for food or anything. Don’t forget to
have some extra cash wih you.
Stain remover, not many people think of it as a
necesite for prom. IT IS! Having stain remover
with you would be so releaving just to know if
you got punch or chocolate on your beautiful,
expensive dress, you can get it off right away!

your car or take them in with you. You’re gonna be on

Preparing for prom can be exciting,
but it can also turn to dread with a snap
of the fingers. Prom-goers should be
able to enjoy a fun night free of stress.
In order to make this possible, planning
is essential.
Planning will help take the weight
off your shoulders making sure that you
and your date or group of friends have
a great evening. You should always
make sure that you have a place to take
pictures and eat dinner at before the
dance begins. Also, take time to figure
out after-prom activites. It is never too
early to begin preparing for prom, in
fact it is much easier to plan in advance

Gum, Make sure
you always have
gum. Just to
make sure when
you talk good
smells come out.
Touch up
makeup, just
to be safe bring
your touch up
makeup incase
you get sweaty
and it comes off.
So you’ll have
makeup for any
mess ups.

Buy Tickets:
Buying tickets is the most
important thing to do before
prom, or you won’t get in.
Tickets are sold everyday
during junior/senior lunch at
the table nearest the middle
staircase. They are $30 per
person. This year, if you have
paid your class dues they are
sold for a discounted price of
$20.
Buy a Dress:
Find a Date:
Rent Your Tux:
Dress shopping does not
have to be done exactly a
month before prom. In fact,
buying a dress should be done
a few months in advance in
case of alterations or before
stores have been raided
by other prom attendees.
Looking online at dress can
help give you an idea of what
you may want to try on or
buy.
This one is pretty selfexplanatory. If you don’t
have a date, start searching
for one. Don’t be afraid
to ask someone, it could
workout in your favor. If you
happen to get turned down
don’t let it get to you, some
people just may not want to
go. If you want to go all out,
“prompose” to someone. The
ideas are endless.
Guys, start looking for
tuxes. Take a color swatch
from your date’s dress with
you and someone to give
you advice. There are several
places to find one locally and
pg. 14 of this prom issue of
The Argus can help you out
with locating them. Don’t be
afraid to be bold and wear
something unusual, but make
sure your date is okay with it.

Trial Runs:
Look through your makeup
if you plan to do your own.
If so you should complete a
trial run to see what you think
looks best and what does not.
Same thing goes for hair. If
you plan to do your own hair
or have someone else do it,
go through a trial run to make
sure you like the finished
product.
because often times places are booked
for these events.
You can begin preparing for prom
months in advance but often times we
find ourselves waiting until last minute.
Always make sure to write down hair,
tanning, nail and other appointments
so you do not forget. Whether you put
them in the calendar in your phone or a
planner is up to you.
Remember that prom is meant to
be a night to make memories. Do not
fret if one minor detail in your plan
goes wrong, don’t ruin your night.
Remember to make a plan, have fun,
stay safe, and be confident.
Finalize Plans:
Finalize your after-prom
plans. Talk to your friends or
date about what you plan
to do. A lot of times promgoers catch a late movie or
go bowling. Make sure to talk
to your parents as well to see
if it is okay with them to do
whatever you may choose.
The possibilities are endless,
just make sure to stay safe.
Nails:
If you plan to do your own
nails try to find a color that
matches or corresponds with
your dress. Don’t necessarily
paint them a week before
prom incase of smudging and
chipping but you could do a
couple trial runs. Also, there
are several nail salons in the
area that you could go to if
you don’t want to do them.

your date a picture to see
what they think. Make sure to
check and see that your tie or
bowtie matches your date’s
dress. Better safe than sorry!

take the initiative and make

PROM
When preparing for prom, a
big decision includes where
to dine. Many individuals
plan on eating at a restaurant
near the venue of the dance,
yet many people choose
a
particular
restaurant
for a variety of reasons.
Eating out often is the
simplest choice for those
that have the money to do so.
Since the venue this year is
in Parkersburg, the options
are endless as to which
restaurants to enjoy. There
are also different price ranges
to consider in your decision.
Places such as Olive
Garden and DaVinci’s are
elegant and popular on prom
night. Try to find a place that
many wouldn’t think of such
as Red Lobster, Los Agaves,
or Ruby Tuesday. If you
happen to be on a budget,
shop around online for a

DINERS
coupon. You are sure to find
an excellent dining location
that fits your price range.
If you know that going to a
sit down eatery isn’t for you,
consider going to a fastfood
spot, or make a home cooked
meal. Have a family member
cook your favorite meal and
set the dinner table to your
liking. The great aspect of
enjoying dinner at home is
that you can make all the
decisions. Invite friends over
and dine at your leisure.
An option that some
choose is to wait until they
arrive at prom. This year’s
prom will be catered by the
Parkersburg Country Club
and will offer a variety of
food. Snacking as the night
rolls on is a comfortable
option considering that the
food is already paid for.
Prom Edition
Spagna’s
301 Gilman Ave, Marietta, OH 45750
As a locally-owned option, Spagna’s will not
disappoint on prom night. They are open from
4-10pm.
Outback Steakhouse
Buffalo Wild Wings
105 Grand Central Ave, Vienna, WV 26105
100 Lakeview Dr, Parkersburg, WV 26101

Da Vinci’s
Cheddar’s

Williamstown They serve items such as pizza, pasta
and salads. Their menu prices vary from $10 to $22
per entree. DaVinci’s also has a patio for outdoor
dining on the small waterfront they have. They do
accept reservations, so if you are planning on eating
at DaVinci’s make a reservation, so that you are
guaranteed a time and aren’t late to prom.
Steak Houses
Casual Dining
1009 Grand Central Ave, Parkersburg, WV 26101
All in all, this is a fantastic place to eat. There’s a variety of
foods to choose from and the pricing isn’t too expensive. Going
in a little early might be a good idea, as they’re always busy and
sometimes the wait is a little longer than most restaurants. No
matter what food type you prefer, Cheddar’s has something for
you.
Olive Garden
109 Grand Central Ave, Parkersburg, WV 26101
Olive Garden is in Parkersburg. They are open from
11am to 11pm.
Jimmy Columbo’s
1236 7th St, Parkersburg, WV 26101
This mouth-watering family-owned restaurant boasts
amazing flavor. Jimmy Columbo’s offers reservations,
so you won’t be late to prom. They are open from 4
pm to 9:30 pm.
Cj’s Italian Kitchen
75 Covington Way, Vienna Wv. 26105
Fusion Japanese Steakhouse
1500 Grand Central Ave # 100, Vienna, WV 26105
Shogun’s
For a great fusion asian menu and fun entertainment,
Fusion Japanese Steakhouse would be the way to go.
They offer Hibachi, fresh sushi, and a fusion Asian menu.
They take reservations and are open from 11:30 am to 11
pm.
102 Lakeview Dr, Parkersburg, WV 26101
Shogun’s is open from 11 am to 11 pm. They serve
Japanese, Chinese and Thai foods.

37 Neal Run Blvd, Parkersburg, WV 26101
This Australian themed restaurant offers great food at
a reasonable price.
Red Lobster-
Texas Roadhouse-
3705 Murdoch Ave, Parkersburg, WV 26101
Red Lobster would be a great place to eat for prom. If you are a
seafood eater and you really like it, then I suggest you go to Red
Lobster. It tastes wonderful. They bring out their cheddar biscuits
to start you out before your meal gets there. They have a variety
of seafood choices, but if your prom date doesn’t like seafood,
then they also have chicken and steak that they can order instead.
I would suggest if you choose to eat there, bring a bib because
sometimes it can be very messy depending on what you get there.
I usually spill a few things on myself while I eat. If you choose a
place to eat, then choose Red Lobster because it’s the BEST!
Japanese Cuisine
1. If weather permits, have a picnic with your prom
group. Take a camera with you and get casual pictures.
2. Have a parent or sibling make your favorite
homemade dish. This allows you to relax and enjoy
your meal before heading to the venue.
3. If you are attending prom with your significant other
have a candle lit dinner at home. This option would
allow the two of you to spend some time alone before
mingling with your friends.
Western Sizzlin’-
Seafood
2306 Ohio Ave, Parkersburg, WV 26101
Located in the traffic circle, you will find tasty meals and great
service. Texas Roadhouse is a wonderful restaurant that has many
delicious options to choose from. Texas Roadhouse has a terrific
atmosphere and plenty of seating. There are many inexpensive
choices on the menu. If you’re concerned about messy food, there
are many mess-free items to choose from. The food at Texas
Roadhouse is based on western type foods, so if you don’t like
western type food, then I wouldn’t recommend going there.
Cj’s Italian Kitchen offers a dining
experience unlike any other.
Memorable Ways to have Prom Dinner at Home
Outback Steakhouse has a variety of foods to choose from.
If you are a messy person I would steer clear of anything
really messy like ribs, steak sauce and lobster tail. Yes, you
need to enjoy dinner, but not remember it all night while
its stained on your dress or tux. Outback does not have
reservations per se but they do have call ahead seating which
will limit the wait time for prom goers. If you are looking for
a moderately priced restaurant, I would recommend Outback
Steakhouse for prom dinner. It is a great atmosphere for you
and your date or a group of friends to enjoy a nice meal.
This is the one stop-shop that serves as a guide to helping you pick a restaurant in
the right price range for you.

“Talking on a cell phone can
double the likelihood of an accident
as well as slow a young driver’s
reaction time down to that of a
70-year-old.”
https://www.dosomething.org/us/facts/11facts-about-teen-driving
led to many life changing events to
occur whether it be a serious injury/
accident or other serious issue. Prom
should be a fun, enjoyabel time so
just remember to be safe and protect
yourself and others and be wise with
the choices you make. We are all
human and are not invinvible. Prom
should be a night to remember for all
the positive things not the negative.
This year’s venue for prom is the
Nemesis Shrine Center and in
order to get there one will have
to take the interstate. No matter
if traveling on an interstate or
regular two lane road, always take
it seriously and be safe. There are
multiple distractions a driver can
be faced with from loud music,
Sex
Prom should be a night to remember
because you had an amazing time
not because you became a parent!
Do not let anyone pressure you into
thinking you owe them. Something
such as that should be saved for
later on in life especially after you
are married. Abstinence is bliss, and
besides it’s not worth your whole life
being changed for a few minutes of
pleasure. If someone’s intentions are
primarily to get involved in sexual
activity they are more than likely
not the kind of person you want to
be hanging out around anyway. You
have your whole life ahead of you do
not try to rush into it and put yourself
in a tough situation. Also look out
for your friends if they are getting
uncomfortable with a situation then
find somewhere else to go. Keep the
night classy and keep all attire on.

Numbers To Remember
We’ve all seen the commercials about first responders not
being able to locate someone if they are calling from a cell
phone. So to avoid this the following are phone numbers for
local first responders:
Parkersburg Police Department: (304) 424-8444
Parkersburg Fire Department: (304) 424-8470
St. Marys Police Department: (304) 684-7101
Pleasants County 911: (304) 684-0911
Driving
passengers and distraction outside
of the vehicle as well. While
driving, make sure to be aware of
your surroundings like what exit
to take and which lane to be in.
Driving can be a fun experience
especially with all your friends
however you have your life and
the lives of others to look out
for. All in all, be sure to be safe
both driving to and from the
venue, especially since many will
have to drive on the interstate at
night. Also if you need to contact
someone while you are driving
have one of your passengers do
it for you that way you can keep
your eyes and focus on the road.
AfterPromActivities
It is common for students to have
some sort of activity planned after
prom. Whether it be going out to the
movies or hanging out with friends
, there are multiple things one can
do after the prom festivities have
ended. Students sometimes go to
other parties after prom has ended,
parties however have their risk just as
anything else mentioned on this page.
During parties students could be
pressured into drinking alcohol
or using some other substance,
bothshould be avoided at all cost.
Students are not older enough to
drink anyway so getting caught can
end up in some serious consequences.
Also drinking can cause more
negative affects than thought: not
remembering what you did, having
a hangover, becoming vulnerable
to everyone around you, all risk
one has to take inconsideration.
A few other things students shoudl
keep inconsiderationare not set
your drink down while at a party,
you dont know what someone
may try to put in your drink. If you
have any doubts about what may
happen at a party always have a
designated driver its better to be
prepared than try something life
threatening. As an addded step of
protection have everyone give thier
keys to the designated driver or
put them all in one secure location.
Finally, not matter what you do be
careful trvaeling it will be late by the
time prom ends so make sure you at
least check in with your parents and
let them know what you are doing
and where you are going before you
start to go anywhere. Just a call or
text should do the job just so they
will know what you are doing and
will not text or call you the whole
night wondering where you are.

For years, prom has been known to be one of the biggest moments of a
person’s high school career. Both guys and gals tend to have the time of their
lives. It is believed that proms have been held as early as the late 1800s. Of
course, these proms had the traditional king and queen. Now it is time to find
the perfect outfit for prom.
The two-piece dress is wellworn for a homecoming,
prom or another formal
event. Or it can even be
worn for a night. This dress
is a good choice but you
have to pick out a pair of
heels that match.
The mermaid dress is a
perfect match for prom
or any formal event. This
dress usually consists of
tight fabric around the body
and a flowing or fluffy part
starting either mid thigh or
right below the knee.
Short dresses are cute for
homecoming, prom or a
formal event. People can
also wear them during the
summer or a place where it
is warm out. For shoes, girls
tend to wear either heels or
flats.
This dress is perfect for any
semi-formal to formal event.
Some could go for either a
classy or plain look. Getting
this dress for prom is a good
way to make it your own.
Remember with long dresses
it’s best to wear heels.
The ball gown is a great
choice for an extremely
formal event. This dress is
perfect for a girl who wants
to feel like a princess for a
day. A suggestion is to find
a pair of easy to walk in
heels because you may get
tripped up easy.
This is any dress with
glitter or sequins. This
dress is also perfect for a
night on the town or any
formal event. There are
many choices to this dress
and it is a must to find the
correct shoes for this outfit.

It’s that time of year again, and to be perfectly honest, your date
probably cares way more about what you wear than you do, but
most would agree that looking nice always increases your odds of
having an action packed night.
Be sure to at least get a picture of your date’s
outfit before purchasing a tux. Going together
usually eliminates the probability of major
complications. Selecting matching apparel allows
you and your date to look and feel closer as a
couple, but if you’re completely lost, go with
black.
The primary physical difference between
a tuxedo and a suit is the presence of
satin. Traditionally tuxedos have satin
facing on the lapels, buttons, pocket trim,
and a satin side stripe down the leg of the
trousers.
Ties are much more commonly worn than
bow ties. The benefit of wearing a tie as
a groom is that there are many colors and
patterns that will not only accent a suit, but
will also go along with the wedding colors.
Another benefit of wearing a tie is that they
are great for a more hearty body type, as it
elongates the grooms figure.
You’re like most guys so… you’re going alone. Turns out your
friends are too. Well, might as well squad up! There’s millions
of ways you can go with this. Just check social media. Make
sure everyone in your crew matches for the picture. If someone
forgets or doesn’t want to participate, politely kick them in the
shins.

We all want to be the one who truly stands out at prom especially if it’s with their date. We’d probably stand out too, if
it wasn’t for the fact, we have no clue how to do it. There are numerous ways to stand out, like doing your hair different,
learning to the new hip dance move (which changes a lot), making your dress something special, pimping your ride or even
doing a group theme to prom. Prom will be a memory held forever in your heart, (good or bad) you’ll never forget it. Make it
as memorable as you can; make yourself stand out.
Create a themed outfit with your prom date. There are
many ways you can do this, or if you’re alone then consider
making your dress based off a tv show character or maybe a
movie. It might be interesting to dress to the prom theme.
Learn a new dance crave.
The Dab might be a good
dance to learn and if you
figure out that you can’t
dab, you can always hit the
Quan. Don’t forget you
can always use YouTube
to teach you how to do the
latest dance moves.
Ty Lemley demonstrates some
pretty cool dance moves during
the homecoming pep rally.
One of the most common and well-known ways to
stand out this year is to pimp your ride. Not only
will you arrive in fashion, your date/friends will be
incredibly impressed. You can always make your
car look cooler or rent a limo. I’d try to avoid your
parents dropping you off.
One of the best and easiest ways to stand out
at prom is how you decide to do your hair.
Don’t hold back. Most people will have their
hair curled, up in some braid/bun or maybe
both. Although, find somewhere cheap
because getting your hair done isn’t always
cheap.
How Do You Plan To
Stand Out At Prom?
Bow ties not only represent sophistication,
but they are also aesthetically pleasing for
grooms. They are smaller which brings more
attention to the face and less to the chest like
a regular tie would. A tuxedo and bow tie
are very formal, so they should be reserved
and worn to events that are extra special.

Add accessories; you
can never go wrong with
accessories. Men, you can
add a bowtie or just a plain
tie. Girls you can add so
many things like; earrings,
necklaces, bows and
bracelets. Your shoes matter
too, so choose wisely when
it comes to your footwear;
however, it is fair to note that
most girls lose their shoes
before the end of the night!
