Masquerade Ball brings a bit of mystery to FCC Centennial
On April 16, The Fresno City College Associated Student Government will host a Masquerade Ball as part of the college’s yearlong Centennial Celebration. The event will offer students, staff, and community members the opportunity to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Fresno City College in a unique way.
Attendees—in semi-formal or masquerade attire—will spend the evening dancing and enjoying hors d’oeuvres. They will also receive a complimentary photo and a chance to win door prizes.
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our students and our community to be a part of history in the making,” said Erika Gutierrez, FCC Student Trustee. “This will be a great social event for students to get to know other students and college staff while celebrating FCC’s 100th anniversary.”

Fresno City College was established in 1910 (as Fresno Junior College) by Charles L. McLane, superintendent of Fresno schools. The first class of 20 students is a quite a bit smaller that the tens of thousands SCCCD educates annually now, 100 years later. But the commitment to quality education and community-driven spirit remain the same.
The Centennial Celebration began on New Year’s Eve with the Centennial Ball and culminates in the Centennial Convocation in September. After the Masquerade Ball, the next Centennial Celebration event will feature guided tours of the campus trees and landscaping on May 1, 2010.
The Centennial Masquerade Ball will be held Friday, April 16, 2010 from 7pm to midnight in the FCC Cafeteria. Tickets may be purchased at the FCC Business Office for $30 per individual or $50 per couple. On April 14 and 15, tickets will be “buy one, get one free.” Tickets will not be sold at the door. Call (559) 442-8275 for more information.
