"The Beauty of Bronze" was theme for the event and Edward Allen was set designer.

Using bejeweled pediments, red carpeted runway, gold gossamer curtains and other materials, creative Allen, as always, made it all fabulous.

Among the 30 debs: Amber N. Williams, Sirita Danielle E. Webb, Deidre M. Shepherd, Annie P. McCulloch, Olivia L. Hill, Jeremeka A. Bradley, Christian C. Davenport and Audrius M. Ball.
