Ok, I'm editor for my school newspaper. Right now we're doing the prom section of the newspaper and we're at a dead end. Nobody can think of what to write and/or put in the newspaper that's not cliche', redundant, oversaid, obvious, etc. The only two stories we have are called:

1. Does this dress make me look BIG?
2. Tips for Prom from a female perspective (which is still trite and common)

Our teacher has been urging us to think up something new and he says that he refuses to put anything else in that section unless its good. &I'm over it so my grade kinda depends on this.

What I'm asking of the intelligent people at CB is to suggest interesting topics, features, or stories, things to draw, clipart, pictures, etc. etc. that we could put in the prom section of the newspaper to catch attention and make it extraordinary. Don't forget about the guys also. We literally have nothing catering to the guys. So ppl, can you plz help me out? Think back to your older high school newspapers, whatever. Please help me, I'm desperate.

hmm... how about
"best/worst prom dress"
"cheapest dress for girls to buy"
"expensive dress for girls to buy"
"the cutest pick up lines for guys to say to girls when they ask the girls to go to the prom dance with them"

Ooh, I like the "Where do you plan to hang out after prom" and "Cutest ways to ask someone out." Definitely will use.

Anymore?

Maybe a little history lesson to fill up space? A short blurb about the school's first prom could do. You could also touch on canidates for prom queen and king if you have that.

i expected you to have bad grammar because of the title of the topic tongue.gif

random...facts about proms or something =p

maybe tips for guys also, on how to treat a girl, and be a gentleman or something.
maybe like..a section about protection. because everyone..like does it then..seriously. that would actually be good =/

1. have a picture of a girl on the front.

2. do a poll of people, asking questions like what are you doing for prom, and yes/no questions and stuff. put the funny answers in the newspaper, people like to read that.

3. picture section. like one page is a collauge of pics.

4. comics.
