1922 - Boys Glee Club

The first meeting of the club seemed to start the thing right, for thirty-two boys
turned out, which was good for the first meeting. The club practiced every Thursday

proved to be a success. The songs they sang were "Yankee Doodle Boy" and the
High School Song, "We Love Old U. H. S.".
