Schmutz, the double quar- tette managed to remain intact. Every VVednesday morning-early-at 8:00 A.M. found them gathered in the mu- sic hall to rehearse. They also met on Thursday evenings after school to run through their do-re-mi's. Like other music ensembles they sang at assemblies and for various groups.
