2010: Hummer SUV? That's so last century. <a href="http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-442210">Sandra O'Hare</a> works at a high school in Bardstown, Kentucky, and says she's seen students show up in creative limos and even a chandelier-adorned tobacco wagon, but never on a camel like Clint Wimsett and Angela Vittitow.

2000: <a href="http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-605993">Deanne Goodman</a>, in lavender, still really likes her dress, even though she says it's outdated by more than a decade. The friendships with those in the picture haven't faded away either.

1986: Martrese White's grandmother was a seamstress at a now-closed Bonwit Teller department store. "I came up with the design, she directed me with my execution. I also crafted a matching handbag, gloves, and made rosettes for my shoes. In hindsight, I was a mash-up of Scarlett O'Hara and Ziggy Stardust, but at the time, I felt spec-TAC-u-lar."

1972: <a href="http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-605612">Patty Sullivan</a> says her perspective on the 1970s sense of style changed over time. "I loved it at the time, but years later I laughed along with my sisters at some of the clothes we wore. I think the style has endured. All styles seem to come back around."

1968: <a href="http://ireport.cnn.com/people/pathill3">Patricia Helen Hill</a> and her future husband, Bob, went to the Westwood High School prom in Winnipeg, Manitoba. "My mother actually made the dress and it was very heavy," she said, "more like drapery material." She changed out of the dress after the dance and went on a riverboat cruise. "Everyone at the prom was invited!" she said.

1967: Nikki C. Morris wore a yellow dress and white gloves for her prom, but she says '60s fashion was too colorful for her tastes. "I remember thinking that most of the dresses and the girls wearing them looked like Easter eggs," Morris says. "I wasn't a fan."

1966: <a href="http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-605614">Susan Train</a> says: "The senior prom was a really big deal after four years of Catholic school uniforms; it was our night to shine.  The hairstyles were up, the flowers were especially picked to go with the gowns and the white dinner jackets -- everyone was so beautiful and handsome that night. We wore white gloves and matching shoes -- every detail was thought out and selected for this special evening."
