Armistice Eve
Dance Success

under the auspices of the American

clared a huge success by the'various
committees in charge.

be a financial success as we'll.
The entertainment committee fur
nished the crowd with a very fine
orchestra, namely, The Montan-

balloons and paper hats, lent the
festival spirit to the evening, and

chase colors for their respective
