BEAUX ARTS BALL

The very dazzling Beaux Arts Ball evening at the Oklahoma City Golf and Country Club on November 24 featured beautiful debutantes, handsome escorts, an exceptional and energetic King and outstanding decorations.

It was a night to remember for the 300 plus guests. From the entry procession of the former Kings to Jim Vallion’s transformation of the Country Club into a veritable French garden using decorations of red and yellow and multi-colored roses and topiaries, the event was spectacular.

Dr. John Russell Bozalis was named the 2007 King of the Ball.

Chairman Elain Frogge and Co-Chairman Libby Denner, who have planned the details for this 62nd annual Ball for a year, were everywhere during the evening seeing that the debutante presentation ran smoothly.

On the Ball committee were Connell Branan, Mindy Cunningham, Kathryn Crabb. Shirley Everest, Tricia Everest, Mary FitzSimons, Karen Hanstein, Anne Henderson, Ciane Hogan, Linda James, Laura Kirkpatrick, Tricia Law, Bebe MacKellar, Susan McPherson, Lisa Pierce, Dana Price, Barbara Quillian, Leslie Russell, Karen Samis and Lauren Sullivan.
