Two Co-Eds Named Mardi Gras Princesses

With this being Fat Tuesday, today seems like a good time to tell you that a couple of Park Cities-area co-eds were presented as princesses last month at the Washington Mardi Gras, an event hosted by the Mystick Krewe of Louisianans in Washington, D.C.

Miranda “Mandy” Tucker Morgan is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Joseph McAuliffe of University Park and the late Herbert Tucker Morgan. She is a 2012 graduate of Highland Park High School, where she was a member of the Highland Belles drill team. Mandy is a sophomore at Louisiana State University, double-majoring in political science and communication studies. She is an active member of Kappa Kappa Gamma.

Elizabeth Cecile Bicknell is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Todd Bicknell of Greenway Parks, and she is a 2012 graduate of the Episcopal School of Dallas. Elizabeth is a sociology major at Louisiana State University, where she is an active member of Kappa Kappa Gamma.

In December, both young ladies were also honored by the Demoiselle Club of Shreveport, La., as debutantes at their annual presentation ball at the Shreveport Country Club, following a full season of celebrations in Northwest Louisiana.
