For the St. La Salle Arts and Sciences first year students, campus life was completely started not only on the first day of classes but also when they participated in CASadyahan Night, the Freshmen program held June 22 at the USLS Covered Court.

The program offered an all-packed Las Vegas tilts of ramp modeling and character presentations, rolled into one glittering night of fashion, sounds and movement. The motif of the night, inspired by past celebrations which included CAS Comedy Bar, CAS Cable, CAS Café and CAS Idol, exploited the bright-light and action-packed characteristic of the Nevada City as College Council officials called this year's production as "CAS Vegas: The Night Life!"

As the theme suggested poise and drama, Artians and their guests made the best of what was available in their cabinets and closets - from glittering tops to sliding sexy cuts, from stripes to plain long and short sleeves combined with black shoes, white pants, big belts and torpedo hats or to any sense one could has been noticed, turned to, and, captured.

CAS clubs, teachers, attendees and the celebrating freshmen wore their Las Vegas-inspired outfits. Luck ran the best dressed as the CAS Vegas' Fashionista of the night.

As the runway platforms were cat-walked by CAS City models in their high heeled shoes, the lights were magnified by ABS-CBN's School Patrol coverage of the event, hosted by Lianne Fernandez and Gynon Mapa, named Mr. and Ms. CAS Freshmen. The coverage prompted Artians to show off their looks most of the time, since no one knew when and where the camera would hit and roll.

The night showcased Missy Eliot with the Artians Cheerdance Squad, Golden Voice Champions Hadassa and Johann, and Dance Sport royalties Cherry and John. The freshmen walked their best in CAS Vegas fashion collection and others models wore Nicolo Yulo Vegas-inspired set. The four-feet ramp stage was heated by special performances from Jennifer Lopez, Michael Bubble, Shakira, and Ricky Martin. CAS Vegas Ultimate Performer of the night, the Destiny's Child, survived what is seemed like never ending cheers and camera clicks.

The CASadyahan Night has etched significance in every Artian freshmen, and this year, there's more to it than etching significant memories alone. There were spices and more spices that's worth the watch and outfit match. But, for the first year students, one thing was most certain: It was their one grand night.
