1st Annual Red Hot Pawn Senior Prom
Voting: Selection method will be based on your first, second and third choice point values of 5, 3, 1 as in the format of the 2015 Prose Competition. Votes cast may reflect the popularity of those students elected or their levels of participation in school activities, such as public forum contributions or achievements in the RHP Chess Club. Footnote: Thumbs Up given to any and all posts in this thread will count as 1 point toward each respective senior student's total. Any Thumbs Down from a student too busy or timid to attend this memorable gala event will of course be ignored. The Prom Queen and Prom King may be given crowns to wear by Russ. Please send all votes by Personal Message to me by Tuesday, May 12, 2015. (OP)
Thumbs Up (Update as of May 7 Pages 1-30: Senior Class Students with four or more votes)
* Prom Queen: lolof: 34; Duchess64: 23; hakima: 14; drewnogal: 13;
* Prom King: Great Big Stees: 38; JS357: 32; HandyAndy: 17;

Back from Iberia.
Recommended: Sunset view of the Alhambra from an open air bar just to its west, while drinking Alhambra Special ale.
Not: Toledo, too commercial and "processed." I guess it's too close to Madrid for its own good.
Where are your favorite sunset spots?
Originally posted by JS357Welcome home, JS; you were missed. "Where are your favorite sunset spots?" Great question. Within the USA, New England especially in Vermont and New Hampshire during autumn and on Cape Cod walking along its outer beaches on a summer evening. Also, on the coast of Puerto Vallarta and Cozumel; and from the promenade deck of a cruise ship in the Caribbean.

Saturday, May 9 Voting Update: Only two ballots have been cast (one on March 9 and the other May9). Each contains three votes for our Prom Queen and three for Prom King. These two "5-3-1" weighted vote ballots total 36 or the equivalent of 3 dozen Thumbs Up. Deadline is your midnight Tuesday, May 12. Our "1st Annual Red Hot Pawn Senior Prom" will begin early evening on Friday May 15, 2015.

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyThe weighted votes cast so far don't quite have the weight of 3 dozen thumbs up votes. They would have such weight if instead of being distributed 5 - 3 - 1 we could weight them 9 - 0 - 0. As it stands now (although the current rankings are fine by me) there is a voting design preference toward involved, congenial posters. Perhaps this is an appropriate way to show appreciation for these qualities. (Please don't up-vote this post.🙂)

Originally posted by JS357Good insight; however, the rationale here was to preserve voting familiarity in our 1st Annual Red Hot Pawn Senior Prom: "Voting: Selection method will be based on your first, second and third choice point values of 5, 3, 1 as in the format of the 2015 Prose Competition." Maybe Miss Day will introduce your suggested change in May, 2016.
