On Grafton Common Saturday during the traditional pre-prom photos, shivering girls in spaghetti-strap gowns were heading for their limos with tuxdeo jackets on and dates in shirtsleeves beside them.

It was a bit of a chilly start to a night of glamour, but hey, they were finally getting that night of glamour. It was the first school-sponsored prom since 2019, after COVID-19 shut down the traditional rite of passage.
