GE. llD. GE. llllll. W. Barth, R. Schmidt, O. Richoz, D. Zbinden BOYS' QUARTET V At the beginning of the year the Boys' Quartet was organized. Mr. Anderson coached them and helped them with new songs. They were very popular with the public and were invited to sing many times. Their voices blended well and.their harmony was perfect. They sang the type of songs which everyone enjoys and on most occasions were encored many times. The Quartet sang at the Whippet Six Oratory and Declamatory con- test, the Soldiers' Home at Danville, the County Basketball Banquet held in Watseka, the Operetta, the Intersociety contest, the Farm Bureau Meet- ing at Watseka, the North Star Box Social, and the Illinois State Detective Association Banquet. Their repertoire included Mammy's Little Boy, Watermelon Song, Old McDonald, Those Pals of Ours, Down Mobile, Bring the Wagon Home, John, The Tack, There Was a Bee-e-e, That's All There Is, Tin Pan Parade, and Carolina Moon. The first tenor, Walter Barth, the second tenor, Ralph Schmidt, and the second bass, Dale Zbinden, will graduate this year and so the quartet will be badly broken up. PALE MOON Through a veil of softest mist Thou shinest-pale moon 3 As a luscious dancer draws A veil of tulle-too soon! -Ruby King. N M41

BOYS' GLEE CLUB Mr. Anderson not only had charge of the Girls' Glee Club but also the boys. It was made up of twelve boys, including: 1st Tenor 2nd Tenor lst Bass 2nd Bass Pendergrast Cluver Kogler Hofman Barth Schmidt Yergler Freidinger Zbinden Aeschliman Richoz Berg Several selections were sung this year. Among the favorite ones were, Pale in the Amber West, Peggy, and Old Friends So True. At the meeting of the Detective Association they sang Far Away in the South and A Toast, and at the Whippet Six Declamatory contest they sang the selections, 'Peggy and Pale in the Amber West. Every Tuesday and Thursday morning during the twenty-minute period they had their regular practices under the direction of Mr. Ander- son. The Boys' Glee Club this year was very well balanced, each part being equally strong. They entered in the Sub-District contest at Watseka and placed first. The required number for the contest was Peggy For their own selection Pale in the Amber West was chosen. They sang very well and easily defeated their opponents. With the departure of the Senior class half of the Glee Club leaves. We hope, however, that by next year there will be enough new material so that next year's Glee Club will equal this year's. l43l , 9 QWELZ' Vflflii
