Morton Is The Key to Social Activities Memories of the bright, dazzling merriment of the Inaugural Ball and Prom will long linger with Mor¬ ton students. The sock-hops, plays, concerts, fall festi¬ vals, and even the lunch hours spent in the Student Center are only some of Morton’s student activities. Not only are these events a wonderful opportunity for students to have fun with fellow classmates but also to adapt themselves to cooperating with people outside of the classroom. MHS social activities are the finished products of many hours of hard work by the students. Students plan the entire event: when and where it should be, how it should look, and who should make and sell the tickets. When all the plans of the projects are neatly put together, the result is the best social pro¬ gram a school can offer its students. Morton, by offering this type of social program, meets the needs of the students for places to go and enjoy themselves. These activities give a student the opportunity to plan and work out a project in the way he feels best. In this way he may be a witness to the result of his plans, whether good 6r bad. Because Morton does provide an extensive social program, the students have the opportunity of gain¬ ing knowledge not offered to them in a classroom— the knowledge of getting along with other people.
