- Early 1960s Harlingen Texas HS band directed by Joseph Franks. The band playing was a state ranked band. Most pictures are from the yearbook El Arroyo. Historical note of interest, the Assistant Principal for Harlingen HS was Glenn Cleckler who joined the Marines with Harlan Block and fought in World War II in the Pacific Theater. It was Harlan Block that placed the base of the flagpole for the flag that was raised on Mt. Suribachi, Iwo Jima.

thanks so much for your comments. i was in the Cardinal Band in the midsixties, but this is a recording from when my older sister was in it, when HHS had the best director in the State, and then lost him to Richardson. but they made this recording and now it's on youtube for all of us.

Thanks for commenting. To be honest I never cared all that much for our fight song when I attended HHS back in the sixties. I thought it was okay and it helped spirit me some. But when I found these old recordings from back in Joseph Franks day, I really began to appreciate just how good this song is. I get fired up now. I did always, and still do, think the HHS alma mater is the prettiest I've ever heard anywhere. Period. And I still think that. It is even moving. Incredibly melodic.
I loved the HHS Fight Song.. I too think it was the best fight song written and still cant get used to hearing other schools fight song. Thanks for posting it. Class of 89
