Wickenburg High School had their 2009 Prom  on Saturday night.  Wow, what a change since we were in school. (I’m not that old).  Thehairdos, makeup and beautiful dresses was something to see.  Oh! And the SHOES, loved it!!!!  Most of the kids went to dinner prior to going to Prom.   My daughter and her friends went to a friends house and cooked steaks.  My nephew and his group went to Olive Garden in Phoenix. Everyone had their own agenda.  It takes girls much longer to get ready than boys!!!  Girls actually have to start about 10:00 in the morning.  They have to have their nails done and can’t do anything (including dishes) after that because they may break a nail.  Then they have the hair. That can take 1- 3 hours.  Then comes the dressing up.  It is quite an ordeal.   After dinner they all adjourn to the Country Club where they pull up in their vehicles, someone parks it for them and then they proceed to walk in front of the excited parents, family and friends.  They are each announced and walk on the ‘Pink’ carpet, stop and take photos.  Then they are in the front door for dancing the rest of the night.  It’s nice to see all the kids that go and what a transformation.  Some of the kids only put a fancy dress and suit on one time a year.  They all looked so beautiful and handsome. There is a lot of planning that goes into 6 hours on one evening.  Those teachers, helpers etc do not see much appreciation and probably no thanks.  I’m sure all the kids appreciate it more than they know.  Good job to all.    June Antos
