Last Night the Second Years of Somero Lukio (Sixth Form) had their Prom Night. There were forty-six dancers, with Elli Suonpää and Niilo Nieminen giving an excellent and very funny speech to open the evening. Having danced at Joensuun School and the Old People's Home in the afternoon, the students had their final dance at the Monitoimitalo in the centre of town. Every seat was taken as several hundred people turned up to see one of the highlights of the academic year.
I am sure I was not the only parent there who was finding it hard to believe that their son or daughter is now less than a year away from finishing school.
I know it is a well-used cliché to say that childhood goes by quickly, but last night it felt truer than ever. These dancers were not children anymore, but young men and women with exciting and I am sure very varied futures ahead of them. Wherever they end up in life, I hope that they will always remember Somero and come back to play a role in the town.
Here are some pictures from a very special evening.....
