Students have a blast at Spring Ball

Fort Valley State University students dressed in their finest Saturday night and gathered in the Woodward Gymnasium for a fun evening at the University's first annual spring ball.

Katherine Chike, Resident Director over the Wildcat Commons, was behind the glamorous event. "It was really just an idea I came up with so that the kids could dress up and have fun," she said. More than 100 students dressed up in gowns and tuxes. "Some kids came dressed up in their church apparel, but most girls still had their prom dresses,” said Chike.

The University's Mass Communications department provided the deejays and the event was catered by Sandra McGee. President and Mrs. Rivers attended, in formal attire.

"We're already planning next year's event," said Chike. "The students work so hard, they deserve a little fun."
