Prom, then and now Carroll residents and high schoolers compare prom experiences Jacob deNobel, Carroll County Times April 12, 2015

In 2015, girls throughout Carroll County schools preparing for prom are protecting themselves from running into an inadvertant doppleganger by uploading photos of their prom dresses to specialty Facebook pages established at each school to ensure nobody runs into a dress twin at the biggest school-sponsored party of the year.

Prom, then and now Devon Rothschild, Carroll County School Board member

Devon Rothschild of the Carroll County Board of Education, said she was glad social media wasn't around for her high school experience.

"I've always said, it was never my intention to run for public office. I'm glad Facebook wasn't around," Rothschild said. "I was a good kid, but I do tend to say what I'm thinking, and I imagine that would end up on Facebook. As you get older, you learn when to keep your mouth shut."

Before prom-posals were uploaded to the internet as a constant game of one-upmanship, they usually happened in private between two people. Rothschild, however, said she experienced a surprising prom-posal in an era before the term existed.

"My boyfriend and I had been dating for two years when prom came about. He actually proposed to me on prom night, with a ring and everything. So there are pictures of me, 17, in my prom dress with all my big hair getting proposed to," Rothschild said. "I did accept, but I did not actually marry him. My husband has a sense of humor about the whole thing."
