About the rite
On 1 June 2019, the Yellow Elder Club held its 38th Annual Debutante Ball. High-school-aged young women completed about four months of instruction in etiquette and social conduct, as well as community service, before being formally presented to society with their escorts.
The ball is a selective community programme rather than a nationwide coming-of-age ceremony.
