It really was quite epic! We called it the "anti-prom" and bowled until they kicked us out at 2 AM... Then we all went back to my house, crashed for a few hours, then got up early to go out to breakfast still in our formal wear. It was amazing! It was maybe a dozen of my friends and I, girls and guys. All of us, for one reason or another, didn't want to go to our prom.
Only unfortunate thing about it was that we missed the scandal at prom. The class president, Lisette, had condoms put in the gift bags (along with the commemorative candle and picture frame) without the administrations' knowledge and when it was discovered, the admins locked the doors until all the condoms had been collected and accounted for... It actually made national news. (http://www.sptimes.com/News/052601/news_pf/TampaBay/Condoms_in_prom_gifts.shtml) I'd just like to add that Lisette rocked and I voted for her.

I am so not a fan of abstinence-only sex ed. I think it was awesome she did that and awesome that she got on national news. Though I am sure she would rather not have!

I'm not a fan either, but this was during the beginning of Bush the 2nd's abstinence-only kick in a county where the older folks tend to be irrationally conservative... as was the case with the administration at my high school, which caused a lot of tensions between the administration and the student body from what I remember. The students tended to be some of the most liberal you can imagine because it's a performing and visual arts magnet high school. For example, the admins blocked our attempts at forming a GSA for three years by intimidating teachers against sponsoring the club, but when we finally got one, there were more than 50 students at the first meeting, and the second year, they had to move the club to the cafeteria because it was the only place with enough room to accommodate all the students who wanted to be involved.
Yeah, I'm sure you're right, but she handled herself very well. She was even on a radio show where one of the radio personality guys was giving her a hard time for not "leading by example" and for "encouraging the inappropriate behavior of children" (I found the transcript online)... not seeming to understand that most high school seniors either already are or are very close to being 18 years old by the time they graduate, so therefore not children under US law, but whatever... and she didn't even get flustered. So that speaks well of her character.
