Peaceful prom after threat

Barrington High School's prom in Itasca Saturday night went smoothly despite the presence of added security in the wake of a vague threat made against the event last week. By the start of the evening, only seven prom cancellations had been made and two were for reasons unrelated to the threat, Barrington Area Unit School District 220 spokesman Jeff Arnett said. The threat was made in a "vague, typewritten letter" that arrived at the school last Tuesday. Barrington and Itasca police as well as hotel security were on alert and conducted discreet security checks at the event, Barrington Deputy Police Chief Jerry Libit said. No charges have been filed for the threat. School officials sent a letter thanking parents and police for their cooperation.
