Boys' fluiniei M. Norman, pianist, G. Dykstra, L. Hoogheem, R. Dykema, F. Mohrman. The Boy's Quintet, which was at one time a quartet till Boomer Hoogheem came along, is composed of five male voices, one fe- male accompanist, and one male director, which, added up, makes seven, and if you want to count the piano we will call it an octet. Directed by Donald Wendlandt, band and choral director of FCHS, accompanied by Miss Marguerite Norman, and comprised of five senior boys who are: First Tenor - La- Verne Boomer Hoogheem and Garrett Gary John Dykstra, Second Tenor - Rob- ert Dykey Dykemag Baritone - Elmer Bones Boonstrag Bass - Frederick Fritz Mohrman, the quintet has gained fame an en- tertainers for local organizations. The quintet Went to Hanover, Illinois, March 25 as one of 19 Fulton entries in the District contest for solos and ensembles. There, receiving a first division rating, they, the band, and the soloists and ensembles won the District Sweepstakes Trophy. This trophy, not unlike the trophy pre- sented to the winning team in the Regional Basketball Tournament, was given to the school which accumulated the most points. Page 50 Points were given for first division ratings, second division ratings, etc. Fulton, which had nineteen entries, and received as many first division ratings, was selected to receive this trophy. The members of the quintet feel that they were instrumental in Fulton's receiving the trophy. The quintet will journey to Champaign, Illinois, April 28 and 29 as one of the entries in the State Band Contest. They hope to fare as well there as they did at Hanover. After having sung on numerous occa- sions, all the while building up a sizable rep- ertoire, the members of the quintet were curious to find out which of their numbers were liked best. Taking a poll of their au- diences, the members of the quintet found that these were some of their most popular numbers. Q13 Shortn' Bread , C21 Song of the Jolly Rodger , Q31 American Folk Song by Peter Illich Tchailovsky. The latter being by far the most popular. There is no definite assurance that there will be a quintet in the future, but the mem- bers of the incumbent quartet hope that some of the boys in FCHS will take up where they have left off.
