Abstract	The excesses of the modern prom often require principals to play the roles of police, fashion arbiters, and even parents. In the midst of the 2007 junior and senior prom season, school leaders attest to a mounting list of policies, regulations, and security measures they are enforcing for the year's big social event. Indeed, the prom, a much-anticipated tradition for students, can conjure dread for those in charge of the often-lavish functions in an age of heightened vigilance about safety and security. This article describes the elaborate steps that principals from rural, suburban, and urban high schools are taking to manage their proms. There are devices like the well-known Breathalyzers to measure alcohol consumption, age restrictions on students' dates, background checks, and lectures on how to dress and behave, principals say, and, at some schools, more sensitive matters to handle, such as the presence of same-sex couples. One principal, frustrated with the difficulties of prom season, suggests doing away with the event altogether. (ERIC).
