Octettes Have Enjo able Year To be chosen to sing in the Girls' or Boys' Octette is such an honor that almost everyone who can carry a tune in a bushel basket tries to be one of the selected few. But, of course, only eight girls and eight boys can fill the positions. The octettes make many personal appearances dur- ing the school year. This year their schedule included an appearance at the senior play and at the St. Paulls Church birthday supper. At the junior play, which was a Melodrama, they dressed up in old-time costumes and led community singing. They were also entered in the District Music Contest held at Sycamore. Each octette received an excellent rating. Bob Barrels. Jim Frost. Denny Lewzeil, jerry fandt, Dale McKirgan, Bob Dwyer, John Voss, Toby Watne, Mrs. Slerens, director.
