ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA PRESENTS FIRST FASHIONETTA,.
A large and appreciative audience witnessed Savamigii’s
first FASHIONETTA that was presented by Gamma Sigma ©me
ga chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. This very spark¬
ling, beautiful display of color and design was held in Beach
High School's Auditorium on last Friday night.
Miss Fashionetta was protrayed by lovely Miss Dorothy
Davis who was the victorious contestant. The theme wa3
centered around a chain of reminiscences which took her
through the high points of her life. ' It all started when on thel
morning of her wedding, her sister (Miss Junior Fashionetta
portrayed by Edwina Simmons, winding contestant for the ti«
tie) bounced into her 'room and began rummaging through
her chest of keepsakes.
As Miss Fashionetta lounged in her chair in a three quart
ter length blue satin coat with contrasting pajamas of soft
coral satin, her reminiscences included her Christmas, nur¬
sery and first school days, birthday party, high school, prom,
going to a football game, formal paijty, working girls and se¬
lecting her trousseau. All of those featured appropriate fash¬
ions and were modelled by many of Savannah’s popular junior
juniors, sub-debs, teenagers, debutantes Don Juans and ma¬
trons.
The Wedding ceremony of Miss Fashionetta was perform¬
ed by W .W. Law. Vocal selection were rendered by Edward
B. Law and the Girl’s Octet of Guyler Jmnior High with Misq
Jane Parker as accompanist. ) Susan"Waterfe (Mrs. Arnett)
