Homecoming At El Paso High

Homecoming At El Paso High

Like other forms of clothing worn in honor of a social ritual (in this case, the homecoming dance) mums are a form of non-verbal communication based on symbolism that only a select group of people understands. To outsiders — non-Texans, or even just non-teenagers — they might look weird or impractical to wear. But that's not the point. To these girls and boys and their families, they are a key part of the high school experience. http://jezebel.com/5965232/inside-the-weird-texas-tradition-of-enormous-homecoming-corsages/
