  • History of the Prom Istory of the Prom
    HHHistoryHistory of the Prom (difference between a formal and a prom) There’s lots of speculation and myth about where the phenomenon started and what it’s really supposed to be. Both Australian and American culture and society originated in Britain. It goes to follow that many of the traditions and social experiences we retain today were handed down from there. In Victorian and Edwardian culture, it was customary for families of higher society to send their 16 year old daughters to finishing school. This is where they would learn to walk, talk, dance and behave like a lady. Upon completion, they would be presented to the wider community as a group in a special function known as the “Debut”. A debutante is a girl making her “Debut” or otherwise being presented to society as a new lady for the first time. The purpose of the debut (or Deb Ball as it’s known today) was to present eligible girls to young and wealthy bachelors for the purpose of matchmaking for society marriages. The debutante girls would wear white gowns, which looked almost like bridal gowns, and be escorted by formally dressed boys, all in the same tuxedos. These were usually boys considered too young to marry but able to show off the girls well enough. They would form a huge circle and the debutantes, with escorts, would promenade around the circle, almost as if they were models on a catwalk. With any luck, a debutante would catch the eye of a wealthy bachelor watching from the audience and the courtship may begin thereafter.

Class meets on Monday 7:20 p.m-10:00 p.m. via zoom. (see linK in BlacKboard) This course is the capstone of the History major. Students are required to produce a substantial research paper based on their reading of primary and secondary sources focused on the ongoing legacy of our University’s namesake, George Mason, to the region and our nation. As such, the course is broadly defined to allow students to select topics from the colonial era through the modern era. Students may focus on local history, political or military topics of their choice or on subjects relating to women, slavery, education, religion, or culture more generally. After completing some readings about George Mason and the generation of the “Founders,” students, with the assistance of the instructor, will focus their attention on the various stages of researching and writing the research paper. In other words, this seminar offers you the opportunity to pull together the results of your educational experience by demonstrating mastery of research, analytical, and communication skills by applying those skills to a particular historical project. This course also counts toward the writing- intensive requirement for the History major. History 499 is: *RS-Designated course: This class is designated as a Research and Scholarship Intensive Course, which means that students are given the opportunity to actively participate in the process of scholarship.

No.1 2012, ISSN 2013-6897 under the auspices of Coolabah Observatori: Centre d’Estudis Australians, Australian Studies Centre, Universitat de Barcelona Dancing with the Prime Minister Jennifer Jones Copyright © Jennifer Jones 2012. This text may be archived and redistributed both in electronic form and in hard copy, provided that the author and journal are properly cited and no fee is charged Abstract: When Ruby Langford Ginibi and her daughter Pearl prepared for the Foundation for Aboriginal Affairs Debutante Ball in 1968, they contributed to development of a significant new expression of Aboriginal identity and community belonging. Debutante balls were traditionally staged as a rite of passage that introduced a select group of young ladies to British high society. They went into decline in the UK in the late 1950s, under pressure from anti-establishment and sexual revolutions. The tradition remained popular in Australia, as the debutante ball had developed important status as fundraising events for local organisations. This article examines the history of Aboriginal girls ‘coming out’ at a debutante ball. While the inclusion of Aboriginal girls in debutante balls was encouraged as a means to achieve assimilation, proud celebration at all-Aboriginal events provoked controversy. Ruby Langford Ginibi’s reflection upon her daughter’s dance with the Australian Prime Minister at the 1968 Foundation for Aboriginal Affairs Debutante Ball is instructive. It explains how an exclusive, sexist British ritual has been transformed into a vital, inclusive Aboriginal rite of passage and challenges non-Aboriginal readers to re-evaluate their assessment of the tradition.

But that bow to the guy in the pointy hat was obeisance.” - Lucy Ferriss, 1972 debutante and author of “Unveiling the Prophet: The Misadventures of a Reluctant Debutante.1” “The Veiled Prophet was always an old white corporate guy who wore robes and covered his noggin with a funny-looking crowned veil.
