"Junior Prom" is an educational film produced by Simmel-Meservey about good manners on a date. The film follows four teenagers as they navigate the proper etiquette of attending their junior prom. This film is intended to guide teenagers on what will be expected of them socially as they interact with the opposite sex. The topics range from proper formal attire, meeting the parents, to proper punch ladling. The film is very wholesome and humorous by today’s standards.
Shot of a brick high school (00:48). Students get up and leave a classroom. Two girls stay in their seats. Two boys read the announcement of the bulletin board for the junior prom (1:30). The boys ask the girls to the prom. All four of them eat outside on a picnic table. They drink milk out of glass bottles and discuss corsages (3:05). One boy pulls the other boys tie out of his suit and gestures to his socks (3:58). The boy changes his tie and socks. The blonde girl shows off her sparkling white dress to her parents in their living room (5:01). She picks up the telephone. Her friend sits on her pink couch gesturing to a big red bow in her hair. She removes the bow (6:05). The two boys pull up to a house. He rings the door bell, the girl in the white dress answers. She introduces him to her parents. The other boy enters with a corsage box. He hands it off to his friend, who presents it to his date (7:47). He places her coat over her shoulders. The next boy walks into the other girl’s house and shakes her parents’ hands. She pins boutonniere on his lapel (9:06). They drive to the dance. They arrive to a live band and slow dancing couples (10:12). They greet the older escorts, shaking all of their hands.

"Good manners never interfere with fun." That should be a T shirt.
Right?! Then we'd know who to throw the rocks at.
👻
Juniors in high school today don’t look like they did in ‘46. Dang!
Hubba hubba! The girls aren't bad either!
They might if they are 25 years old like the women in this video.
It’s because they grew up without air conditioning, tv, and video games.🤷♂️
I don’t think they looked that way in ‘46 either - this isn’t a documentary, they were actors who were clearly beyond teen age.
Fun fact: their HS teacher was 35 years old at the time.
I usually like these old educational films but THIS one is a real snoozer.
Frank was lucky to have Jerry as a wing man.
I dearly miss the days of manners and gallantry.
Frank had enough of the formality. He just wanted to slip out to the car and play a little "HideTheNazi". Everyone was c-blocking the poor guy. 😆
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Those old 40s cars were so spacious. You could really get up to some impolite business in those back seats, no doubt. :^)
You’re on fire this morning lololol
Good manners are so rare these days, they could almost be considered a super power...
So many of these films NEED the MST3K treatment
Junior college prom maybe I think. They all look rather mature.
Yeah, they look a bit old to be HS Juniors.
''Helen, what are you wearing to the dance? '' '' Oh, you know that flirty number with the train and the veil'' ''Oh Helen, just make Frank where a rubber'' ....
In color? Gotta be one of the earliest ever?
AI ?
@@henkverhaeren3759 This is probably one of the 1st educational films in color.
Possibly been colorized
@@TheP3NGU1N Wealthy schools could afford color prints! Color film had been around since the 30's.
@@jaminova_1969 good info
Manners maketh man. This would be good for kids to view today.
Forget manners or ties or socks even. Somebody should explain the rule against brown shoes with a blue suit.
@@jemcnair76 I suppose when you're a fashion plate, rules are only for mere mortals and don't apply.
if those are Jr's then... I'm younger than I think I am.
Where's the part about bringing the condoms?
Doesn't like gardenias and still gets taken to the prom. A different time.
Jesus how to remember the order of who to introduce to who. Is it the younger woman to the older man or the younger man to the older woman or vice versa???
I see dead people.
Prom in June? Oh wait it wasn’t 4000 degrees back then.
Frank relax.
If Frank was *too* interested in coordinating the corsage with her dress, maybe he should have taken Jerry to the prom instead.
Frank is a typical 14 year old in 1946. No wonder the US won in WWII !
It would be hysterical to redo this ala guess who's coming to dinner. Frank needs to smoke some dope...
0:56 I know it was the tint of the movie, but everyone sure looks like a redhead...
i'd have been a fail...i forget names, and this whole intro x before y thing is like some sort of human-algebra 😂 I kinda want a follow up--did those two little dark-haired ppl ever marry , bc they seemed like a solid couple unlike stiff-Frank and whatever her name was.
Helen looks like Tatum O'Neil the actress. Ryan O'Neils daughter
Margaret believes she shouldn't make it difficult for a fellow, she just makes it hard!
My god. The horror. I'm SO happy i wasn't their age in the 1940s.
i only got to go to my Jr prom..my dad and brother were recoverng from a wreck with a drunk driver my Sr. Yr.
Omg so sorry?!
@@Seeker0fTruth tysvm
Gracious but brief is bad news...
Maybe Helen should hook up with Margaret...
Yeah, its a gesture of kindness to tone down your color palet so as not to miss a single opportunity for her to look so so SO Fu££ing good for you. She will appreciate it?! Is that an ESTJ's idea of romance? Didn't i see one of these guys impeaching Delta House for their silly hijinks and yelling about pledge pins? Sublime wrote a song about these guys i forget what its called.
Frank should have gotten slapped .I'm joking .good one on manners .now days you don't have people doing so .
Ok Margaret talks too much... Figures...
