Ohio, plus the local chapter Choir
us under the direction of Harold
Reitz, and three local quartets.
The Parade of Quartets at

is much talk of making this an
annual event at that place. Many
of the people who attended the
local chapters Charter Night pro-
gram last May have already made
their reservations for this COM
ing event.
One of the main purposes of
SPEBQSA, outside of singing, is
to aid civic projects. The entire
chorus and quartets are avail
able for projects of community
wide nature and will help any
worthwhile program.
Individual quartets are avail
able for banQuets, club and lodge
meetings and other social events.
A nominal charge is usually made
for the services of a quartet to
help defray the expenses of music
uniforms, transportation and items
connected with a group Of this
type.
Arrangements for a quartet can
be made by calling Warren Nc
Dougall, president of the local
chapter, or DR.. Richard Semon
