at the Biz
Bash
By Janine Toms Forget all your troubles, forget all your cares and go downtown! That’s where many Conestoga students headed Feb. 7 for the Biz Bash at Stages Night Club in Kitchener.
Approximately 200 students were in attendance as was Master T, a former V-J from Much Music. The theme of the night was Cupid Gets Plastered, a preValentines party.
Men’s soccer team shut out 4-0.
