A group-theoretical method is presented for constructing new unitary representations of the Virasoro algebra out of Fermi fields. Some of these commute with Kac-Moody algebras constructed out of the Fermi fields (via the ``quark model'') and some have a supersymmetric extension. An example with both these properties is relevant to the tricritical Ising model at the critical temperature. The critical exponents are calculated explicitly from the construction.
