Debutante Ball
It was the Saturday after Thanksgiving in 2000 and the Hi Hat in Bayonne was receiving guests for the Debutante Ball of the Association of the Sons of Poland to be held that evening Young ladies in long, white gowns; younger ladies in short, white dresses; parents in evening attire and WEST POINT CADETS.
The program began with the presentation of colors and anthems of Poland and America which was formally executed by the Cadet color guard.
The Junior Debutantes came first. Then, each Debbutante was presented by her parents and taken to her place in line by a Cadet. When the last Debutante made her bow and joined the line of Presentees and Parents, the Polonaise began.
Bouquets of flowers and gifts of gold jewelry were presented to the Debutantes, gifts of silver and baskets of flowers were presented to the Juniors and gifts were given to the Cadets. Now it was time for some good food and a party. Everyone agreed that this was the best party ever!
