Prom is an important part of our high school life and it is also educational. For many young men it is the first time they ask a girl on a date. This can be a very overwhelming concept and instead of biting the bullet and asking the girl they have fancied throughout the whole of high school to the dance, the young man in question either avoids prom altogether or has to watch an awful jock dance the night away with his lady.

We at the Hill Valley Telegraph decided it was important to give a helping hand. So here it is:
1.  Try and make sure the girl of your dreams is alone when you ask her to prom. Maybe wait till she is by her locker in between class (this also means you can make a quick escape if it goes wrong).
2.  Stride up to her, it is okay to seem a little nervous but girls are attracted to confidence so make sure your walk oozes self-belief.
3.  Smile.
4.  Don’t beat around the bush. Instead of saying ‘do you want to dance for a bit at the prom’ say ‘would you like to go to prom with me?’
5.  The ideal conversation should go: ‘Hey, how are you? I was just wondering if you wanted to go to prom with me?’ ideally she will then reply: “sure, I would love to’.
6.  Good luck and remember even if she says no you won’t have lost anything. Keep your head high and smile.

Read on for Ruth’s failsafe fashion advice:

• Forget corsages, the must-wear prom accessory for all you 1955 school leavers is the watch. Whether you’re swinging yours out of a jacket pocket or polishing it up to wear on your wrist, everybody in the know will be rocking around the clock on Saturday night.
• It’s hot in Hill Valley, so why not show off your sunniest side in a yellow dress? If yellow’s not your thing, match yourself to the fruit punch and go for something peachy
• Don’t get in a sweat if you’re wearing a hand-me-down gown, just dress it up with some bright earrings. Embellished flowers can work on your handbag too, just make sure you’re not too weighed down with gems to jitterbug!
• Whether you’re subterranean or a total square, don’t let a hair fall out of place. Slick on a good dose of Vaseline hair tonic to keep everything in order, or better yet, book yourself in at Hill Valley’s own Elite Salons. Just be warned, we’ve heard one flick of a cigarette and you’ll end up the wrong kind of flaming hot.
