Morse Football Dance Proves Big Success
About 150 couples celebrated Morse high school's third straight win of the season on Armistice day, as the Morse eleven defeated Brunswick high school 13 to 6 at Whittierfield. The team sponsored a dance in the high school gym from 7:30 to 11 with Ernie George and his Royal Arcadians providing music. Faculty patronesses included Miss Jean Ogden and Miss Mary L. Lord. Committees covered tickets, decorations, refreshments, advertising, and orchestra. Unclear funds from ticket sales likely reduce the football debt of 225 dollars once accounts are settled.
