Cabaret Ball for Debutantes

Catholic Presentation Function

Nine debutantes were presented to Monsignor A. Curran, V. G., at this year's Catholic presentation ceremony, which was held for the first time as a cabaret-ball instead of the usual ball. The debs made their curtsey to Monsignor Curran after being escorted to the dais by their fathers.
