Prom age limits should have been announced long ago

To the Editor:

We, the undersigned members of the 2006 senior class, feel the age limit placed on this year?s prom is unfair and discriminates against those of us who are dating older boys or girls.

It is unfair that until this year, no age limit has been enforced at the prom, Christmas or Homecoming dances, Project Graduation, etc. So we feel we have been singled out.

With three weeks left until prom, we have purchased dresses, rented tuxedos, paid for limos, and made dinner reservations. All the deposits we have made will be lost.

Any enforcement of age should have been publicized in the student handbook and enforced throughout the year. If our parents allow us to date older people, most whom are former students at WCHS, then why does the administration feel the need to impose its personal views and opinions on this matter.

Any age limits should go into effect with the incoming class of 2007 beginning at the first of the year and made aware of in the student handbook. This would eliminate any confusion in the future.
