MALE QUARTETTE Although few appearances have been made, the music rendered by the Male Quartette has been well received. As this is the second year for a High School Quartette they have displayed their talent exceptionally well. Two of the boys are Seniors and will leave this year. We hope their places will be filled efliciently in the future. -Mary Miller 1923
