Prom is this Friday, April 15, at the Cox Capitol Theater. The theme is “A Knight in the Castle.”
The junior class will decorate the theater with medieval accents and props. As prom quickly approaches, many of the upperclassmen have had creative ways to “Prompose.”
Senior Shishir Bandi was one of the first seniors to ask somebody to prom. He said the idea originally “started off as joke.”
“I didn’t know who I was going to ask, and wished I could just do a raffle to ask someone,” he said.
He came up with the idea of a fake charity he called the “Municipal Poverty Relief Organization” and designed a fake raffle where you could win a prize. Throughout the week, he made announcements, to “update and remind” everyone about the raffle.
At a Monday assembly, Shishir showed a Powerpoint explaining the “organization.” He then announced the winner of the raffle” was Conner Hefner. As she headed up to the stage, he rearranged the first letters of the “Municipal Poverty Relief Organization” to spell out P-R-O-M.
Conner said yes, and he gave her a rose.
