The Junior College String Quartet has played in assembly, represented the school in the various exchange programs given at the schools throughout the county, and has been in great demand by organizations in the city. BRASS QUARTET This combination of four trumpets is one that is not often heard. The group was greatly enjoyed both in assembly and in the concerts. The combination is equally adaptable to classical, semi-popular, and jazz arrangements. The blending of tones and close harmony which results from the use of the four trumpets is very effective. Brass Quartet B. O ' Leary, W. Fraser. K. Spidell, W. Pool.
