Richmond Hill teen makes the most of prom season, uses local newspaper

Eighteen year-old Tyler Rochwerg was gearing up for prom last week, like many other soon-to-be high school graduates. Unlike many of his classmates, however, Rochwerg sought an original means of asking his friend to go with him. He finally settled on placing a full-colour advertisement in his local newspaper, the Richmond Hill/Thornhill Liberal.

“I've never heard of anybody asking someone by newspaper,” the teen had said.

The ad, comprised of a picture of Rochwerg and his intended date with text underneath reading “PROM?”, was met with success – his friend loved the idea and was more than happy to go with him.
