First Snowball a success

By Mike Fauls

A few months ago a poster was hung with a sign-up sheet next to it that said “Sign up for the Snowball Dance.” This was Pittsford’s first semi-formal dance and was held on January 24. The halls, as of late, have been decorated with both Homecoming decorations and possibly hundreds of handmade snowflakes hanging from the ceiling. The dance was held at the high school cafeteria and started at 7:30 p.m., lasting until 11:30 p.m. There were pictures available along with free brownies, pizza, and punch.

Many students signed up and dressed “snazzy” to bust a move and make a fool of themselves with their friends. Ex-journalist Braily Lee said, “My favorite part was just getting dressed up and acting like an idiot dancing with my friends.” Nicole Stewart said that her favorite part was, “Um just hanging out with my friends.” And funny-man Zac Vanlerberg said, “[My favorite part was] the punch…it was pretty good.”

The question now remains if this will be a one-time thing or if this will be annual and where all of the money is going. “I’m glad it’s over,” says Mr. Hodos, smiling. “All of the money is going to the sophomore class. Were going to try and do something different for a senior trip or something,” Mr. Hodos also said. There are tentative plans to try it again next year.
