'lv . -' ,r THE BOYS OCTET The Octet was formed at the beginning of the fall term of 1927 under the very able di- rection of Mrs. Mildred Buttermore. The boys were selected for ability to sing parts as well as for quality of voice. Because of Mrs. Buttermore's untiring efforts a very good Octet was developed. The young singers did not win the applause of their audience without many hours of practice. The boys rehearsed before and after school besides the regular work done in the chorus class. Their singing before a number of audiences, particularly the student body. resulted in increased enthusiasm for others to take up this work. This was noticed especial- ly at the beginning of the spring term of 1928, when the enrollment was increased to eighty, this being the largest number of students ever enrolled for chorus work in the history of the school Stripling High has the only boy Octet inthe Fort Worth High Schools, and we are proud to know that Stripling leads all the other schools in this Work. We hope to see some of our boys become finished singers in time. . Many thanks are due Mrs. Buttermore, and we all hope she will be even more successful with the chorus classes to come.
