A year or so
ago, I met the
four boys
when they
were just com
ing of age, mu
sic wise. That
was at Scott
Air Force base
in Illinois. The
Harmon Nichols four had just
joined the Air
Force from their home town of
Eau Claire, Wis., where they
used to sing as a team for their
own amusement.
They continued the practice
in the shower rooms and in their
quarters to a maddening point to
non-music lovers and to the de
light of those in the force who
knew high "O" from the low
notes.

All are enlisted men. Their man
ager and master of ceremonies is
Cpl. J. J. (Mike) Egan.
Private Audition
On a hot summer night, the
boys gave this old former bari
tone a private audition at the
Scott base officers' club.
I predicted they would go a
long way. They have, too, and
they've done a lot of good be
cides. In addition to entertaining the
public via television and in per
sonal appearances around the
country, they have sung to thous
ands of servicemen in hospitals
and at bases.
They are in demand several
times a week and have won
praise from such persons as Ar
thur Godfrey and other spotters
of talent.
National Contenders
The boys served notice that
they were contenders for nation
al acclaim when they won the
central states district champion
ship last fall at Great Bend, Kan.
Then they went Into the re
gional contest at St. Louis last
April, and qualified among the
five central states quartets pick
ed for the international contest.
Saturday night they rocked
the music hall with "I Wonder
What Became of Sally" and
"Let's Fall in Love All Over
Again."
Originally, all of the boys
were from Eau Claire. When
their base was busted out of the
service on a medical discharge,
they picked up young Cahall, an
Illinois lad.
