In the United States and Canada a prom, short for promenade, is used to describe a semi-formal graduation dance party. It is held at the end of an academic year.

Proms were first mentioned in the high school yearbooks of the 1930s and 1940s, but historians believe they may have existed as early as the late 1800s. Proms first began in the elite colleges of the Northeast. High school proms began in the early 1900s, they were relatively simple affairs. The high school prom expanded into a yearly class banquet at which seniors arrived in party clothes and danced.

In Prom, Boys usually dress a tuxedo, sometimes with brightly colored cummerbunds or vests, and boutonnieres. Girls usually wears formal dress, and then, she dress up her hair and make-up. She put on a corsage. After dressed up they changes so wonderful!
Traditionally, girls gave boys matching boutonnieres to be worn on their tuxedos or waistcoats. Girls traditionally wear adorned with a corsage given to them by their dates.

On the very day of the prom, some students get together, and ride in the same limousine. And they goes to a good restaurant by limo, and have a dinner.

But, some problems are existed. One is the cost. Cost of the prom is one of the biggest problems. They need a very big money for a dress, corsage, admission fee, transport expense (limousine) ,food bill…etc.
Some of students who don't have any money can't attend the prom.
