NEW LONDON — Cloudy skies and a light mist of rain couldn't deter countless parents, friends and community members from gathering in full force at New London-Spicer High School on Saturday, May 6, as students dressed in their finest attire arrived in style for the grand march portion of this year's prom.
Prom dates pulled up to the school to a sea of people cheering them on as they walked the sidewalks and into the school's Performing Arts Center for an indoor grand march. Following the introductions of each couple attending, students took part in a special program before heading to Little Crow Country Club for dinner and a night of dancing.
