Mid-Week Mellow

Bring a smile and a song for the banjo.

Having missed a meaningless milestone because they had to either stop the Nazi war machine or keep the homefront going, two seniors are crowned prom king and queen at a Saskatchewan retirement home:

Some seventy years ago, as the world was caught up in war, many graduates missed out on one of the seminal ceremonies from school days: a prom.

A Saskatoon senior's home organized an event Tuesday night to set things right.

A high school prom, complete with music was held at the Preston Park Retirement Residences.

"I joined the British Air Force when I was 16," Terry England explained. "[We were] supposed to be 18, but I lied about my age. So, didn't get a prom."

I’m sure they slow-danced to this.

Food lies.

And a dog pushing a puppy in a shopping cart and some other things because- why not?
