Every Spring, high school students on the verge of graduating all look forward to the pomp, circumstance and memories that come along with the senior prom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cleveland Public Library posed the question, \u2018Why should teenagers get to have all the fun?\u2019 and hosted a prom for older adults at the Addison branch in the St. Clair – Superior neighborhood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the people in attendance came from New Avenues To Independence, which is a care facility in the area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Staff members served as deejays for the mid-afternoon event, playing songs like The Village People\u2019s \u201cY.M.C.A.\u201d and Bill Withers\u2019 \u201cLovely Day.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Refreshments included a few boxes of pizza and ice cold sodas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few party animals wore eyeglasses made from dayglow sticks. There was a crafting activity that allowed everyone to make miniature disco balls to take home with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of having individual prom kings and queens, names were drawn from a hat to crown Prom Royalty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
