Third Sponsor Meeting
Yesterday, I went to go see Mr. Barna earlier than usual because I had an away game, or so I thought but I found out that it was changed to home because of the boys' field. I really got a move on my prom research, as I finish contacting the schools, expect Woodbury, who did not answer the phone, and I started thinking of questions to ask the students about prom. I came up with a few good ones that would help me out with the actual writing of the article, but I still have to show Mr. Barna and see if he approves of my questions. If he doesn't, I hope he can help me with making up good interviewing questions that'll help my research. There wasn't much going on during my time there because I was only there for an hour and 15 minutes, but there was a technical problem when I first got there. The phone, where I was located, wasn't working! I mean, come on phone! I kind of freaked out, and I thought that my mind was just playing tricks but it wasn't. The phone really was not working. I told Mr. Barna and he came over to check it as well, and when it was confirmed, he went over to the tech guys, I'm assuming, and he said they'll check it out. So, I had to use the phone in the cubical next to the one I was in. I found out that one of the schools, Gloucester County Technical School, does not have proms! What is that?! I mean, I'd be very upset if our school didn't have a prom. Proms are supposed to be a special night, where the students can be mature and elegant but have a lot of fun at the same time. I feel sorry for them, they're missing out on a once-in-a-lifetime high school event that really means something.

Our students will be so interested in your written work and research because nearly everybody cares about the prom. I wonder where the tradition comes from? The word "prom" comes from the word "promenade." Did high schools always have a prom. What's up with this king and queen stuff?
