As they stepped out of cars and limousines and made last-minute adjustments to their outfits, most Fresno High School students seemed reluctant to talk about the reason their prom had become national news.

They were all well-dressed, they all smiled -- but most politely said "no thank you" when asked about a classmate nominated for prom queen who ran for prom king instead

It is just funny how this would have blown the circuits of everybody at my school. But that was a thousand years ago.

Fresno?

Shortly after 10 p.m., students selected senior Dan Abril as prom king and senior Corissa Compos as queen.

That's who I would have voted for. They're, like, such a totally cute couple.

"She and her parents do not want to be taped, or interviewed, at all," Marinovich told reporters gathered near the sign-in table. "She feels strongly enough about it that she came in through a back entrance. I hope you won't spoil the evening for her."

Yeah, it's wrong to spoil it for her, but not wrong for her to spoil it for everyone else.

Junior Michael Martin said..."I feel, not to be mean, but I think she should not have run," Martin said. "It's creepy."

Out of the mouths of babes.

"Fresno?" yes Fresno... I lived there for a year. My wife was born and raise in Dinumba (not sure of the spelling and Fresno. Dinumba is 20 miles from Fresno.

I wonder if our fearless (freep) leader is aware of this?

[SmithL]

I’m sure he is.

I’ve been to Marching Band competitions in Fresno. I guess that Fresno will eventually become a part of the Bay Area, which will be a real shame.

[bedolido]

we always liked the visalia area... but Fresno is a few hundred miles from san fran and that area. I guess it could...

have a great day

I guess that Fresno will eventually become a part of the Bay Area - probably but it will be about 150-200 million years at the current pace of the fault drift.

Later pingout.

Good news - the kids have some sense. They could have a third category - besides Prom Queen and Prom King, they could add Prom "Thing"!

You hit the points dead on.

The only thing I'd like to add is that she wanted to make a statement for the sexually confused/deviate crowd. Probably made some good bucks on it too.

But she/he/queen/king ran away when the spotlight was on.

More than that, she/he/queen/king was nominated for a slot reserved for only several young men as king and court; a slot that could have gone to a young man that truly wanted to be a special part of his senior prom.

And that sucks.

lj,

Thanks for the ping.
