    What seniors and their dates do before the Prom

    They gathered at a friend's house to allow parents take pictures. Then they boarded a limo and headed towards Ritz Carlton for another series of pictures (it was rainy outside). Finally, they went to Shedd Aquarium, the Prom venue, where they were greeted by their Dean of Students.
