AFTERNOON TEA…It was teatime at the Oklahoma City Golf and Country Club last weekend. Maxey Reynolds entertained for her granddaughter Katie Hoge who is one of this year’s Beaux Arts Ball debutantes.
Ball committee members, debutantes, family members and special guests, six of the former Beaux Arts Ball queens, filled the downstairs area of the Club. Peonies decorated the tea table that was filled with tiny sandwiches and brownies, cookies and lemon squares.
A table with framed photographs of the former Ball queens lined one wall. Represented in pictures were Joan Johnston, Yinger, Virginia Eason Weinmann, Jean Monnet Laughlin, Virginia Harmon Gohrband, Betty Jean Tway, Margaret Maxey Cooper Reynolds, Ethelyn Mills, Sydney Shaffer Taggart, Ann Sheridan Watson, Judith Ames Rhoads, Mary Gordon Ferguson Taft and Ann Connolly Henry, Adelaide Lutz Ladd and Maichai Thach Brown.
These days the traditional event features a Beaux Arts Ball King, one of Oklahoma City’s community leaders. The queen selection was discontinued in the early 1960’s. Elain Frogge is chairman of the 2007 Ball and Libby Denner is co-chairman.

STANDING OVATION…Linda Kennedy Rosser was the honoree at a party given by Brenda McDaniel and Pam Shdeed. She received her master’s degree from Oklahoma City University.
The party was in the McDaniel home which is on the OCU campus (Brenda’s husband, Tom, is OCU President.)
Rosser received her undergraduate degree at the University of Oklahoma more than 40 years ago and had always planned to work on her master’s degree. She is a trustee of OCU and her good friend, Brenda McDaniel, encouraged her to go back to school, so two years ago, she did.

THE BOOK…. Several book-signing parties have honored Kon Keesee and Ann Taylor. They have just completed a wonderful coffee table book and history of Nichols Hills. The book called “Nichols Hills, a residential community,” features the lovely homes of the area.
One of the parties was in the home of Joan and Bill Payne. Co-hosts were Gene and Ed Barth, Annie and Dick Bohanon, Ann and Bob Hoover, Becky and Greg Love and Mary and Mike Mahaffey. The Payne dining room featured stacks of books and the authors were happy to sign them.
