THE AP.coNAUr Mcmxvgii-M The Boys' Quartette THE High School Boys' Quartette has furnished good music for many special occasions, and are favorites now with the public, as is shown by the applause that greets them at each appearence. They are Eldred Swanson, first tenor, Abner Browning, second tenorg Dante Rubbo, baritoneg Bernard Weber, bass. They be- gan training in their sophomore year, making one appearence that year, at the Parent--Teachers' Association ofthe Hulst School, and pleasing their audience. As juniors they have each developed leadership, and their voices are blending well. The bass is exceptionally fine for a boy's voice. We predict great success for their senior year. This is the third successful quartette developed in high school in ive years, under the direction of Mrs. NPage. Earle K. Anderson, of the second quartette is now a soloist in the Boys' Choir, of the St. James Episopal Church, Chicago, Ill.
