If he doesn't then hint around about it a little bit. Mention the dance in a conversation. If he doesn't catch the bait, just come out and ask him. Say, "Hey, I was thinking of going to the farewell dance. Neither of us have dates. We should go together?" That way if he does say no, it won't be that much of a rejection since you were so casual and not weird about it. It would be a lot worse if you were like, "Hey, I think you're really cool and I like you. I want to go to the farewell dance with you." Then if he said no, it would be awkward and a harder rejection. It's hard to reject someone when they're cool and collected about it, like it's just a friendly thing.
