Now, Aquin Catholic High School in Freeport, Illinois is trying to alleviate the anxiety of finding someone to take with you by choosing students' dates at random.
They call it: Prom Draw.
The male students pick a card at random with the name on the card reading the name of their prom date.
They then they have to come up with a creative skit to ask their date to the big dance.
The school says the idea was to ensure that nobody is left without a date.
The school says they vote on it every year. The students love it and it's been a tradition there for more than 90 years.
