will be coming together
for “A Mid-Summer Night’s
Dream” Saturday, April 12 at
the Parkersburg Art Center.
Prom will last from 7-10 p.m.
Prom is for students only.
Because of the location of the
ballroom, if parents want to take
pictures, they will have to take
them outside.
The decorating and planning
was done by the prom
committee led by Mrs. Mote
and Mrs. Helgren. Decoration
colors are champagne, black,
red and beige. A Shakespearean
theme is being used at the event.
Prom tickets are now being sold
during lunch in Mrs. Mote’s

March 28 to get a prom t-shirt.
DJ Wheels will be providing
the music. Crown Rentals will
be helping with the decorations.

Sweet & Salty Snacks!!!!
Directions to the Parkersburg Art Center
Instead of appetizers, the prom committee has decided to
provide sweet and salty snacks. Also, ice cream and multiple
toppings will be available all evening.
The back corner of the Art Center will be transformed into an
ice cream parlor. Photo by Crown Rentals
1. The Art Center is located on
the corner of Market and 8th
Streets. 2. Point Park offers a
scenic view for pictures prior
to prom. The park includes
a gazebo, overlooks of the
Ohio River and an outdoor
amphitheater making it a
perfect location for pictures.
3. The ballroom on the third
floor of the Art Center provides
a large dance floor and seating
area. Photos by Alex Barker

Parking
The Art Center doesn’t have its own parking lot, but the juniors have
secured the parking lot across the street. The day of prom, the parking
lot diagonal to the Art Center and across from the Actors Guild will be
roped off for SMHS students. Look for the signs indicating that the lot
is for St. Marys prom-goers.
Other parking is also be available in the area. Street parking along
Market Street is another option for students. Also, a public parking
garage is available a block and a half away on Julianna Street.
Everyone buying a ticket by March
28 will receive a prom t-shirt.
(Other products also available)

Prom
Spare shoes
Extra Make – Up
Bring extra make-up in case you would need
it. Your make-up may need touched up as the
night progresses. Some necessities would be
lip gloss, eyeliner and foundation.
This is not necessarily a must-have, but for
some it may become so. If you are planning to
wear new shoes to prom, having a pair back
up shoes for your achy feet may be a must.
You don’t want to end up feeling miserable on
your prom night.
Flowers
Money
Bringing mints is not as big of a must as your
ticket, but having them with you is a good
idea. Mints will help keep your breath fresh
during the dance. Disposable tootbrushes,
such as Wisps, are a good idea as well. After
dinner you may want to brush your teeth
before heading to the dance.
Camera
“I make sure that
I have my phone
and my ticket.”
-Rachel Miller-
Carry money with you at all times. Don’t go
expecting your date to pay for everything,
unless they have told you specifically not to
worry about paying for anything. Plan to have
extra cash with you, so that if you come up
with a brilliant last-minute plan you have the
funds to do so. Emergencies could arise while
traveling to or from prom as well; money may
be needed in those situations.
Bring your cell phone. Your phone is an
essential item to bring to prom. It could be
necessary to check in with your parents or
to call ahead for dinner reservations. Your
phone could also be useful if you happen to
get lost or need a GPS for various reasons.
Your phone can also function as a camera and
watch, to snap pictures and keep track of time.

have extra makeup on hand.”

What will you be
bringing to prom?
Dress Tape
Tickets
Having your tickets with you at prom is definitely
essential, considering that is your admission.
Don’t panic if you forget; there will be a list of
those who have purchased tickets. Remember to
store your tickets in a specific spot. Tell someone
where you put them so if you forget you have
someone that may remember. Let your date know
whether or not you will be buying your ticket
separately. Also, keep the ticket/playbill handy. It
contains all your prom information!
Having the perfect night at prom
consists of many different things, one
including what you have with you.
Carrying extra items may come in
handy if an emergency should arise.
Remembering to bring your tickets
and money is essential, but what else
should you think about bringing?
Having flowers for your date is essential.
The orders for flowers should be made a
couple of weeks in advance. The day of prom
they should be ready to pick up and wear.
Make sure the flowers are matching for the
boutonniere and corsage. Yes, boys, you have
to wear the flower your date gives you.
Cameras are a good way to keep the night
memorable. Don’t just take pictures before the
dance, but during and after as well. Capture
your memories of the night through the lens of
your camera.
What is your must–
have prom item?
“I bring extra
money and
a change of
clothes.”
-Sarah Everett“I will be bringing
my flats for when
I am tired of my

-Shealyn
DeLancey-
Everyone wants to feel comfortable at prom; one
way to do this is to use dress tape. Dress tape
holds your dress in place. Make sure you have
extra tape with you in case you have an accident.
You don’t want to have to worry about your
straps sliding or the top of the dress gaping.

Prom is quickly approaching
and this fact may worry you if
you have never been to prom or
don’t know much about it. This
feature will help guide you step
by step throughout your prom
experience.
Prom needs a lot more
preparation than one might
think. The ladies have to set
up nail, hair and makeup
appointments, sometimes even
schedule dress alterations. The
gentlemen have to order a tux,
get a hair cut, take care of car
arrangements and buy flowers.
All of these things may be
stressful, but it doesn’t have to
be that way. Prom is a time for
fun, not stress. Let “Prom for
Dummies” be your guide for
this year’s prom.
??
Find a dress
For the ladies, finding that
right dress is so important.
Purchasing a dress early is
key and may help
prevent someone
from getting the
same dress as
you. There are
many
quality
dress shops in our
area where your
perfect dress can
be found.
When shopping for a dress,
it is smart to follow a budget. If
you only have so much money
to spend, it is unwise to even
try on an expensive dress. If
Order a tux
In case you have an accidental fly-away or your
hair do falls apart, pack extra hair accessories.
Bobby pins and little bottles of hair spray are
just a few suggestions of items to bring. Bring a
pony tail holder as well, in case your hair gets in
the way after prom.

“The only things
that I bring with
me are my ticket
and my phone.”
-Jasmin Parrish-
If you have a date, you
should traditionally match the
tux to the date’s
dress. It would
be great if your
date could give
a swatch of her
dress, or better
yet go with you
to pick out your
tux.
Always
be cautious of
judging colors by how they
appear in pictures. Make sure
your tux will fit correctly.
If you are going to a store to
rent your tux,
the staff will
get your exact
measurements.
Also,
you
don’t want too
many
colors
going on. Don’t
use more than
three colors or it
will be too much.
Transportation
Order flowers
Transportation needs to
be decided at least a week
in advance. If making an
entrance is important to you,
borrow a cool car from a
family member or friend. If
you do borrow a car, drive it
carefully and return the car
exactly how you received
it, with a full tank of gas. If
neither you nor your date have
a driver’s license, you can
let a friend or have a family
member drive you. Another
option is for friends to share
the cost of renting a limo.
If you are ordering flowers,
it is best to get your order in
about two weeks in advance.
Gentlemen, when ordering
flowers, make sure they
match your date’s dress and
order flowers she will like.
You could get flowers she
could hold or a wrist corsage.
Ladies, don’t forget to order
the boutonniere (flower to pin
on the tux).

Dummies
you fall in love with a dress out
of your price range, you will
most likely be disappointed
and
have
a
stressful dress
session.
If this is your
senior
prom,
this night is all
about you, so
it is acceptable
to spend a little
more on the
dress of your dreams. If you
are an underclassmen going to
prom, it may be better for you
to buy a less expensive dress
or borrow a dress.
Get a date
Getting a date isn’t the most
important thing to have for
prom, but to some people it is.
If you ask someone to prom,
make sure they are someone
you are going to have a good
time with. In many cases, it
might be best to ask a good
friend to be your date. Also,
there is no shame in going
alone or with a group of friends.
It is your night so do what you
want to do and what makes you
Set up appointments
When setting up all your
prom appointments, you need
to set them far in advance. If
you set your appointments up
early, it is easier for staff to
work around your schedule.
Some main appointments to
schedule include hair, makeup,
dress fitting, nails, hair cut and
getting fitted for a tux.
Make dinner reservations
Most couples or groups
usually go out to eat before
prom. In order to avoid a long
wait to be seated, you should
make
dinner
reservations.
Dinner reservations should be
made about a week in advance.
reservations are important
Be on time
The day of prom should be
the day that you are on time
for everything. This is an
extremely busy day, especially
for the ladies who have many
appointments. It is your day,
but it would be rude if you
made people wait on you to
show up for things all day.
You will probably take a lot of
pictures that day with friends
and family so be at your
location when you are suppose
to be.

because other schools may have
prom that night too. If you have
a big group, make sure you give
the exact number of people in
your party so the restaurant can
be prepared.
If the restaurant you want to
eat at doesn’t make reservations,
then you could call ahead the
day of prom. See Elegant Eating
on Prom Night on pages 12-13
for restaurant suggestions.
Dance
Prom isn’t as fun if you
don’t dance, so get on the floor
and boogie. Don’t worry about
what
people think of you.
Who cares if you aren’t the
best dancer; just enjoy yourself.
For more about dancing at
prom, check out 5 Reasons You
Should Dance on page 11.
After prom
Just because prom is over
doesn’t mean you still can’t
have fun. There are many fun
things you and your group
can do after prom like watch a
movie, go bowling or hang out
at a friend’s house. Partying
and
other
inappropriate
activities however are on some
teens minds. These activities
are definitely not needed to
make the night enjoyable and
are extremely unsafe. For more
information on prom safety, see
Stop, It’s Safety Time! on page
16. All in all, prom is suppose
to be a fun night, so enjoy it,
but play it safe.

Knowing where to find
everything for your prom can
be stressful. You do not have to
travel far away to buy the most
expensive dress or tux.
There are many dress shops
in
Parkersburg,
Marietta
and Charleston along with
consignment shops. Some dress
shops sell tuxes so you can go
ahead and order your date’s tux.
When they are all come from the
same place, you know that they
will match.
Flowers have become a new
trend when preparing for prom.
There are various flower shops
in St. Marys, Parkersburg,
Newport and Marietta. The
florist can help you pick out
the details of your corsage and
boutonniere.
When planning hair and nail
appointments, make sure to do
a trial run. You want to make
sure that they can do your hair
and nails how you want, so you
won’t stress over it on prom
night.
Tanning is basically the same
way. Make sure you know where
you like best when choosing to
tan. Also, know what shade you
want done if you are getting a
spray tan.
Good luck finding what you
need for prom and have fun!

Chivalry isn’t dead, it just went the same place
acting lady-like went. For one night become
a polite lady or gentleman. If you really want
to impress your date, try and make kind

You should dance at prom
because it is super fun!
Dancing the night away is
a great way to spend time
with friends.
ck
1. You will have fun.
Even if you look stupid
when you dance, it’s still
more fun than standing
around.
DON”T ask them over a social media website. If you ask
them in any place other than messaging, then everyone
will know if they say no. Also, if you message them
when you have every opportunity to ask them in person,
then they may not see your message or ever answer.
There are plenty of thoughtful, comical, or creative ways
to ask him or her to prom, but there’s always the option
to just walk up to them in the hallway at school and
ask them straight-up.
Remember if they are going to say yes, they are going to
say yes no matter how you do it. If you’re running out
of time or can’t think of any ideas, then ask them now
before they agree to go with somebody else!
Don’t be discouraged if that hopeful date says no. More
than likely it’s nothing personal, and you will have more
fun with someone else.
Use your Imagination
Heart-to-Heart
Go to the mall and use
the photobooth to get a
photostrip of you holding
up pictures to ask them
to prom. You can slip
the picture strip into

to prom with a pencil; then,
put the note in a cup of
water. Freeze the cup of
water. Give the frozen cup
to them. They will have to
break the ice to see what
you said.
Give them a balloon filled with a
special note asking them to prom.
That’s a great way to “pop” the
question, and your date will be
excited to read what’s inside.
Cheap Scapes
M&M
If you want to really surprise
them, then sticky-note their
car! Write “Prom?” or “Will
you go to prom with me?” on
dozens of sticky-notes, and
stick them on every part of
their car. You’ll get a genuine
reaction.
Send them
flowers with a
note expressing
your promposal.
To flatter that hopeful date, fill their locker with
stuffed animals or small gifts such as candy bars.
Then, leave a persuasive and thoughtful message
with your gift, and they’ll have no choice but to
accept!
Locate their car or house
and, beside the door or on
the sidewalk, ask them
to prom by writing a
message in sidewalk chalk.
You will not put them
on the spot, and they
will never expect it!
Prepare a scavenger hunt that
spans the school or a place where
both of you commonly go. Make
the scavenger hunt personal and
creative. They’ll be dying for you to
hint around.
Fat Wallets
If you have a
fairly large budget,
personalize M&M’s
on the M&M M&M
website with
personal prom
messages, such as
“prom?”.
M&M
Don’t text or call them; ask them in person, and your
promposal will have more meaning.
Ask them yourself; don’t ask your friends to ask them
for you. If you don’t have enough courage to ask them,
then you’ll be scared all night!

Borrow the person’s
phone you desire to ask
to prom, and set an
alarm on their phone
titled “Don’t be alarmed.
It’s just me, YOUR
NAME, asking you to
prom”. This idea will make
for great stories later!

Stop, It’s Safety Time!
Prom is a big event that
everyone looks forward to; it’s
a time to dress up and have a fun
night with friends. You should
have a fun time, but in a safe
way.
Distracted
driving
and
partying are hazardous events
that occur on prom night. Prom
is later in the evening and brings
many risk factors into play.
Make all your plans ahead
of time. Instead of partying, go
to a friend’s house and watch a
Driving
Driving is an important
aspect of prom. You have
to either drive you and your
date around or have a parent
drive you. If you’re driving
you and your date, you need
to be extra careful. You are
an unexperienced driver and
you have a passenger. Even
though you’re excited and
having fun, you need to pay
attention to the road. You’ll
movie.
Prom night brings about
many activities that can be
risky. This is a high school event
and students should behave like
young adults. Be responsible;
just because it’s prom doesn’t
mean you can drop all your
morals for a night. Actions
have consequences. Bad things
do happen and you’re not
invincible. Be safe and smart
this year at prom!
have to drive a lot of places
that day, to your date’s house,
the place where you’re taking
pictures, wherever you’re
eating and finally prom.
You’ll also have to drive to
your after prom activity and
then home. Prom is being
held in Parkersburg, and
Parkersburg is a busier area
than St. Marys so driving will
be more dangerous. Before
prom, make sure you are
familiar with Parkersburg and
the places you are going.
One thing you should not
do is text and drive. Texting
and driving is a problem with
teens. Being on your phone is
considered distracting and is
now illegal in West Virginia.
Do you think people
are pressured to make
bad decisions on prom
night?

Helpful Tips
•Keep your cell phone on you at all times.
•Pre-plan your after prom activities so you know what’s in store.
•Inform your friends, family or date when and where you are going during the duration of the day.
•Take an extra bag of clothes to change into, so you won’t be unprepared for your after prom activity.
• Know the directions to where prom, pictures and restaurants are before time.
Have your passenger text and
call your friends or parents
for you.
Some students may have
big plans for after prom, such
as partying. You should not
be partying at all, but if you
are, do not drive if you have
had a drink! You could not
only wreck and kill yourself
and passenger, but also other
travelers on the road. Driving
drunk is not worth ruining
your life, plus it’s illegal.
Overall, be careful and
smart when driving. Don’t
have any distractions and
have your passengers help
you do things you can’t while
driving. Focus on the road
and know your locations.
Sex
Prom night is a special
night, but not special
enough to be involved in
sexual activity. This night is
not your wedding, so keep
your pants and dresses on.
Just because someone
invited you to prom, doesn’t
mean you should feel
pressured to do anything.
Abstinence is the best
policy.

11 teens each
day are killed due
to texting while
driving

You might have an eventful
night planned out for after
prom. Some attendees go to a
bowling alley or to a friend’s
house to watch movies.
However, other students may
have other plans revolved
around partying.
One, students are not
old enough to drink. Two,
drinking brings nothing but
bad news. Partying leads to
other deviant behavior, so
before you sip that drink, think
about what could happen.
If you are at a party, don’t
set your drink down because
people can stick something in
it. Find a DD for the night.
Partying
Have everyone stick their
keys in a basket and put them
away so no one is tempted to
drive drunk.
Also, be careful during your
after prom activity, because
it’s late at night. Inform your
parents when you’re leaving
prom, where you will be
going and before you leave
your after prom activity.
60% of teen driving
deaths are caused
by alcohol
