The last day of classes was a time for celebration, as Winter Formal 2007 was held at the Camarillo Ranch inside a big, beautiful tent. The historic home, centerpiece of the occasion, was decked out for Christmas, and students posed for pictures on its garnished steps. Aside from a night of great music, fun, and dancing, attendees enjoyed a chocolate fountain and decadent desserts such as pumpkin cheesecake and chocolate dipped meringues.

Hilary Watson, up-and-coming acoustic musician, graced the KSC on Tuesday, 6th November. With her fresh sound and soulful voice, Hilary raised songs of praise to the Lord and shared snippets of her life with students through song. WACC created a coffee-shop atmosphere, with coffee, tea, and cookies for students to enjoy as they sat, bonded with their friends, and listened to some good, relaxing music.

When the doors opened at 10 p.m, crowds of Westmont students rushed into the gym to get their free T-shirts, raffle tickets, and an introduction to the ‘07-’08 women’s and men’s basketball teams. Themed “Old School” this year, Midnight Madness T-shirts saw the re-emergence of Willy the Warrior, Westmont’s old mascot. Hip-hop dance team N’Step performed at half-time, and the men’s team had a dunk contest, to the cheers of the crowd. Prizes won and raffled away included restaurant gift certificates, spa certificates, and two video iPod nanos.

With plenty of space, spooky decorations, and candy aplenty, the Halloween Dance proved a hit on this year’s Halloween night. As old black-and-white spook films played on a projector as a backdrop, students danced their hearts out to the beats of DJ Gavin Roy. The costume contest saw many unique entries, as students vied to be the “best costumed” and win a pair of Winter Formal tickets.
