One of my HHS memories was the yellow songboks we used at Assembly. They would definitely be politically incorrect now! Hymns (God forbid!) and Stephen Foster songs with words that would be inappropriate today but were in common usage at the beginning of the 20th century. The school favorite seemed to be "A Capital Ship"; the pianist must have been sick of it by June!
