Ineta sorority, Inc. AT Spacious
Bayfront Auditorium on Biscayne
Boulevard on last Saturday night.
Approximately 1000 guests were
invited TO the affair.
The debutantes wearing floor
length white formal gowns and
long white gloves carried nose
gays of red roses and baby's
breath. Each passed throu. h a
huge heart-shaped entrance and
was met by a member of the
Honor Guard who led her down
the red carpetted stairs TO her
escort. The couple then walked
to the center of the dance floor
to form the circle for the Cotilli-
on. Mrs. Robert Young and Mrs.
Henry Clark made the presenta-
tons.
Floral gifts in profuSion were
placed in the area at the right of
the stage; the orchestra was at
the left. Tables for the debu-
tantes and their parents were
placed at either side of the front
of the auditorium. These were de-
corated with masses of red roses,
red tulle and fern.
Financial status had nothing to
do with the selection of the So
debutanteS who are members of
the Senior class of the four Senior
High Schools in the Greater Mi
ami area. All of the young people,
both debutantes, their escorts, and
the members of the Honor Guard
were chosen by standards of cha
racter, scholarship, leadership,
and personality. The sorority
works closely with the parents,
deans, ministers and other COM
munity leaders in arranging the
six weeks training that proceeds
the presentation. The purpose of
the project is to encourage good
character.
