LAKE GENEVA, Wis. — A high school senior who thought it would be funny to wear a dress to his prom was ticketed $249 for disorderly conduct, suspended for three days and banned from his last track meet.
School district administrator Jim Gottinger said the discipline was for more than just the dress, noting Kerry Lofy (search), 18, was dancing in a sexually provocative manner at the prom, according to a police report.
Lofy doubts that was the real reason he was disciplined Monday.
"The whole night was that kind of dancing. They can't single me out and say, 'Oh it was you, it was only you,'" he said. "I think it's over the dress."
Lofy said Lake Geneva Badger High (search) had no problem letting him go to Saturday's prom with another male, but that school officials drew the line at his dress.
"I thought it would be more appropriate for there to be one person dressed like a girl and a person dressed like a guy, than for there to be two guys to go," said Lofy, a member of the school's track, ski, powerlifting and soccer teams.

"noting Kerry Lofy (search), 18, was dancing in a sexually provocative manner at the prom"
He must have wriggled his hips or something. How do kids dance now days? Arms by sides, Chapparone in between dates. Sounds a bid colonial american (Jonathan edwards).
Hahaha! I like his style.
"It was a joke - lighten up pigs."
Why don't you grow up and try to complete a sentence without the name calling!
A full account was posted yesterday. Apparently he lay down on another student on the dance floor. He claims that other students were "dancing" the same way but he got singled out....
That was a joke as well. Aparently you must work for the police department in question, or the school board.
I'd love to hear the dispatch tapes on that one. Did they roll Code 3?
The kid should dispute it in court. That would have some real entertainment value.
Pigs? That phrase went out with Abbie Hoffman. Time for you to catch up with the times and show some maturity.
Actually I'm married to one. You want to make something of it?
I bet a bunch of cop cars came flying up to the school with their sirens blazing. Woohoo we have something to do tonight besides eat donuts.
Didn't you know teenage boys in dresses are a danger to society?? LOL!
All cops are good for is giving out traffic tickets and issuing citiations to generate revenue for local governments.
Oh you are naive. Dancing today is what we used to call "dry humping".
True. But, as the kid said, I'm willing to bet he wasn't the only one . . . by any means!
Real funny now isn't it tinkerbell? I just laughs at the fools.
"Blue earrings with a black dress. He SHOULD have been arrested!"
That is Hilarious. Sounds like something my wife would say.
I figure that $249 just about covers the cost of the school liaison police officer pulling hazard duty at the prom. Personally, I think the kids ought have been ticketed for wearing a black & tan plaid leisure suit.
