Thankful and Thoroughly Poetic Thursday #246

Today is Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy at

This week's photo challenge which is also my thankful




1967 I was a senior in high school
To quote a line from 
'Grease', it was my year to rule the school'!!!
Senior Class Marshall
Prom Committee, our advisor was my all time favorite teacher
Miss Kilby, Home Economics.
She needed volunteers...of course I raised my hand.
A bit too quickly it seems, she wanted three sets of parents to volunteer for Prom Chaperones.  
WHAT the heck my parents were going to my
PROM!!! so not cool.
The Parent volunteers were all teens in the 1940's the only activities
were dancing. This prom went on record as the best prom ever.
The chaperones turned in to dance teachers.
They taught us all how to Jitterbug we taught them how to do the Twist. 
Oh do I wish there had been pictures.  The dance floor was hopping.
I was so very THANKFUL to have such cool, fun parents. I knew they loved to dance but had never actually witnessed such fancy foot work.

Side Note:
My daddy was an electrical contractor.  He volunteered to do all the electrical work for the special prom light. It looked like a thousand tiny stars overhead.
It was just too COOL 
how they transformed the School.
