8. Proms weren’t held nationwide until the 1930’s
Prom events started as socializing events, light refreshments and slow dancing under crepe paper streamers.

And in 1936, The Junior-Senior Prom: Complete Practical Suggestions for Staging the Junior-Senior Prom was written, the first guide to planning a prom.
