Hey kids - have a drink on us!


High school orders shots glasses for prom
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LITITZ, Pa. - A Pennsylvania high school ordered more than 450 shot glasses for its prom, a move the assistant principal now says sent the wrong message.

As the Warwick High School students left last week’s dance, the prom committee handed them souvenir shot glasses. The girls who attended last year’s prom got a picture frame; the boys, a money clip.

Assistant Principal Scott Galen says: “Unfortunately, this year the junior class didn’t have quite as much money.”

Galen says the principal signed off on the purchase order, but that paperwork simply said “prom souvenir” and didn’t identify the mementos as shot glasses. Galen says he’s certain this will never happen again.

The school is in Lancaster County, about 65 miles east of Philadelphia.

This is a classic example of some crafty kids getting one past the principal. He trusted them and thus he dropped the ball. Kind of reminds me of the BDT BBQ but on a much grader scale. Kudos to the kiddos on this one. The prom queen should have ripped a shot on stage.
