A Proposal

Despite threatening skies on Sunday, we decided to attempt to play tennis outdoors at the high school and ran to the courts before the rain began.

We were puzzled when we saw balls, lots of balls, lined up on one of the courts – and only after playing for a while did we realize the balls were aligned in a pattern. Stepping back, we noticed the balls read, "PROM?"

A few minutes later a tall, handsome young man came out to put the finishing touches on his artwork and explained that he had laid out the balls the previous night. He was expecting a friend to arrive soon.

Another fifteen minutes elapsed before we saw a young lady, wearing a blindfold, being led to the court by another girl with a camera. When she entered the court, she was instructed to take off the blindfold where she was met by her beau and his display of tennis ball graffiti.

She immediately said "YES," kissed her boyfriend and was handed a bouquet. The happy couple, Paige and Richard, plan to attend the Scarsdale High School Prom at the V.I.P. Country Club in New Rochelle on Thursday June 4.
