Senior Jack Lehner wanted to make his friend junior Emily Detwiler happy after a tough situation, and the best way to do so was ask her to prom. Since he only has lunch with her, Jack decided to ask her during lunch.

By using her passion and hobby of music, Jack decided to incorporate it into the promposal. By using any spare time he had during class, he used musical symbols and puns to make the promposal. He made a poster saying “Woman, I hope I’m not in treble for asking so late, but it seems only natural we go together. I know these puns aren’t too sharp so I’ll ask flat out, Prom?”
