Texas teen and Guyer High’s Senior class president Nick Stevens was hoping to live it up with his friends at senior prom, but swine flu has put a serious crimp in his plans.

School officials postponed the dance because of swine flu-related concerns. Texas has the second highest rate of swine flu cases in the U.S., with a total of 28 confirmed cases.

Nick said, “I thought it was an extremely unwise decision,” before adding, “They could’ve check temperatures to see if people had flu-like symptoms” and avoided letting sick people into prom.

But other students may find themselves in the same boat, as swine flu is downsizing college graduations, proms, and extra-curriculars across the countries.

Some schools in Texas have altogether canceled graduation ceremonies, at at other, like Slippery Rock University in Pennsylvana, a separate grad ceremony was held for students who had recently traveled to Mexico, the destination of choice for many spring breakers!

One thing is for sure – hand sanitizer will take center stage at proms, grad ceremonies and other festivities this spring.
