RALEIGH – Three young Sampson County ladies are among those who will be presented at the 89th annual North Carolina Debutante Ball being held in September.

Lillie Ward Turlington, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Festus Turlington of Clinton; Anna Caroline Huff, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. William Alexander Huff of Clinton; and Eva Lee Barlowe, daughter of Gerald Keith Barlowe of Raleigh and Mrs. Venetia Jordan Mann, formerly of Clinton are among the honorees.

In addition, Alice Freeman Lindsay, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Timothy Lindsay, formerly of Sampson County, is among the debutantes.

Mr. John Tyler Highsmith, president of the Terpsichorean Club of Raleigh, recently announced that invitations have been issued to the ball being held in Raleigh on Sept. 10-12. The formal presentation of young ladies from across the state will highlight the weekend festivities.

The Terpsichorean Club, comprised of young gentlemen from the Raleigh area, was formed in the 1920s to sponsor an annual statewide Debutante Ball to present many of North Carolina’s prominent young ladies and to honor their families. The Ball has been held every year since 1923 with the exception of the World War II years.

Young ladies are selected by more than 200 nominators located throughout the state. The final approval of the Debutantes is made by the Terpsichorean Club members. The invitations are extended to the young ladies in recognition of the contributions their families have made to the economic, cultural, social and civic life of North Carolina. The Leader of the Ball is chosen from Wake County’s Debutantes and young ladies from throughout the state are also honored by being named Assistant Leaders.

During the Ball weekend there will be eight functions held in honor of the Debutantes, their families and their escorts. The formal presentation at Meymandi Concert Hall on Friday evening, Sept. 11, will be a focal point of the weekend.

Mr. Peyton Randolph Black is chairman of the 2015 Ball. He leads a committee of Terpsichorean Club members who supervise all arrangements. Mrs. Robert James Ramseur, Jr., is chairman of the Girls Committee. The ladies on the committee plan and coordinate the functions of the ball weekend. Officers of the Terpsichorean Club, in addition to Mr. Highsmith and Mr. Black are: Mr. John Douglas Merritt, Jr., vice president; Mr. William Hargrave McElroy, secretary-treasurer; and, Mr. James Curtis McCaskill, assistant secretary-treasurer.
