The Prom Game
Jon Jory
Stroll down the lane that love paved as you and your sweetheart attend the high school senior prom.
You'll bask in the glory of your recent varsity victory and cheer as the king and queen of the prom are selected from among the guests.
But beware!
Glory days soon turn into gory days as one among you is murdered, then another.
Gee whiz, not even Carrie was this treacherous.
The list of suspects includes class snobs Charles Jonathan Edward Buckley III and Margot Ralston, the class outcast Patty Primpinpoof, and a couple from the wrong side of the tracks, Vinnie DiMici and Bella Baloopi.
Vinnie and Bella are always making a scene.
This year Bella insisted on coming to the prom, even though she is "in the family way," or is that a bomb she has hidden under her gown?
Attend the prom and find out the answer, along with whodunit.

| Character |
|---|
| BELLA BALOOPI a loud-mouthed, bawdy female from the wrong side of the tracks; a tough moll-type with a temper; high school senior |

| CHARLES JONATHAN EDWARD BUCKLEY III (CHUCKY) an obnoxious, pretentious prig; a very wealthy WASP, who flaunts his superior social position formidably; high school senior. |
| MARGOT RALSTON (MUFFY) an abominable snob, whose caonstant degradation of people less financially well-off than she is loathsome; very attractive; high school senior. |
