Pennsylvania Parade #144: Its Prom Time/Teen Cancer

Its Prom Time - In springtime, comes The Prom. Dates are made (and broken(and remade)), dresses are designed and sized, tuxedos are rented. Beauty shops are booked solid, large automobiles are borrowed, dinner reservations are in place. All is readiness. On Prom night, with dresses arranged just so and tuxes worn awkwardly, the sons and daughters of Huntingdon, Pa., arrive--as their parents look on, waving, taking pictures and making tapes, reminiscing about proms past. Music. Preening. Watching. Dancing. Goodnights. It is an historic event; it happens only once. The Seniors mark the end of the formative period of their lives; it is unlikely that most will ever again have such close ties to such a cohesive group. The Prom will continue--it is, after all, the major community social event--but for the Class of '89, this is finis. Teen Cancer - A mother finds a lump on her daughter's back. One week later the child undergoes exploratory surgery, and cancer is confirmed. After 150 days of hospital therapy, hospital bills, the family waits for word on their daughter's condition. Produced by P J O'Connell for Penn State Public Broadcasting. Rural lAmerica Documentary series.
