Roberts Wesleyan College held their annual winter formal on Friday, Dec. 12 at the Auditorium Center in Rochester. The formal, dubbed “Enchantment: A Christmas Masquerade,” was attended by approximately 300 students. The event provided a repose from homework and finals stress as well as a chance to dress up for an evening of dinner and dancing.

After a final week of classes and a weekend of studying, Keuka College students were provided with a midnight breakfast served by the faculty of the college.

Last weekend, Roberts Wesleyan College’s Theater minor program presented their annual One Act Festival. The festival was comprised of five -short plays featuring students of all majors and class levels. Admission was free, and the seats in Shewan Recital Hall filled completely each night.

The crowds were intense on Black Friday despite fears over the country’s economic recession. Lines were backed up to the door in some stores.

“I was at American Eagle and they had some amazing deals but the line was just so long that I couldn’t even wait,” said Aaron Michael, a SUNY Brockport junior and arts for children major.

If you stopped at stores such as Aeropostale or American Eagle on Friday morning, you would’ve been waiting in line for at least a half an hour due to the great deals.
