Carmen Elijah was presented to society when she was
16 years old in her native hometown of Westbury, N.Y.
When her daughter, Marcie, announced that she wanted
to become a debutante, Elijah says she was quite surprised.
"I never thought my daughter wanted to be a deb,"
she says. "Then she saw all of their pictures in the paper
one day. When she told me she wanted to be a deb, I was
really shocked.
at her. acting just like fteT'mother." she
says.
Nlarcie, 16, and eleven other young women ranging in
age from 16-19 are grooming themselves to be presented
to society at the 32nd*annual Beta Alpha Chapter of Iota
Phi Lambda Sorority's Cotillion. The Cotillion will be
held Saturday, May 19, at the M.C. Benton Convention
Center at 8 p.m., with WXII-TV, Channel 12 co-anchor
Denise Franklin as the mistress of ceremonies. Forty percent
of the proceeds will go toward an academic scholarship
for the winner.
Last week, the debs attended a social hour sponsored
by the Alpha Lambda Delta Sorority of Salem College,
which has played hostess to the young women for several
years now. During the social, the debs were given the opportunity
to try their hand at social graces and polite conversation.
Liz McGehee, president of the sorority, says
it's their way of developing a relationship with WinstonSalem's
black community.

"We sympathize with the hard work these people have
put into their leadership roles and their academics," she
says. "We also want the black community to know that

Since preparations for the Cotillion began in the early
part of April, the young women have attended
workshops on make-up, dress and etiquette. All of the

Besides developing new friendships, rekindling old
