Zeta Phißeta Sorority's Annual
Blue Revue Termed Success
Omicron Zeta Chapter of the
Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.
presented its annual Blue Re
vue at the Raleigh Memorial Au
ditorium with Basileus Ellen
Spivey Gaddy bringing greetings
and Soror Hazel L, Sorrell nar
rating the program.
In keeping w’ith the theme
“Zeta-I ites In An Era Os Black
Awareness,” outstanding
blacks in the area were honored
guests of the Zeta-Lites and the
sorority. Spotlighting the vari
ous leaders in the fields of re
ligion, education, politics, gov
ernment, sports, economics as
well as leaders in Greekdom,
gave all a deeper sense of
ethnic pride in the greater Ra
leigh area. Along with these out -
standing blacks, Zeta-Lite par
ents, “Women of the Year” and
community workers played a
key role in the presentation.
Black art in music, song,
dance and drama by local black
artists recreated and reflected
the life style of their creators.
Each Zeta-Lite was a
“Queen” in her own right, but
among them, anyone could tell
by looking at the five finalists,
anyone of them could qualify for
the coveted regal role of ‘Miss
Blue Revue,’ or anyone of them
would make a gracious lady in
waiting. However, the finalist
chosen were as follow's:
Fourth runner jtup, Cheryl
Pope; third, Lieida Faye Wil
liams; second runner-up, Deb
orah Chavis and first runner
up. Marcelle Morgan.
These ladies in waiting were
crow’>' -d by Soror Catherine W’.
Turner, chairman of the 1971
Blue Revue.
Miss Blue Revue-1971” is Ze
ta - Lite Cleondra Denise
Thompson, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. C. F. Thompson. Friend
liness, personality, dependa
bility, trustworthiness and
qualities of leadership truly
describe this new queen. She
bulbissimo!
