A tree draws its nourishmenc from Athe sun and water and from the quality of the carch in which it is planted. An idea draws its strength from the persistence of its creator and the intercst which it arouses in a community. Good ideas, like strong trees, seem to survive. One such idea, the introduction of barbershop harmony into San Gabriel Valley, Calif. high schools, was the brainchild of veteran Alhambra, Calif. Barbcrshopper Abe Gould. The "Young h1en in Harmony" project, now more than two years old, came abom when Gould was having a casual conver­ sation with Dr. Maylon Drake, Supcrintendent of the Al­ hambra School System. Gould, insisting that barbershop har­ mon}' was much too vital a music form to be relegated to a lot of old fossils reminiscing in the moonlight, convinced Dr. Drake that barbershop harmony for high school kids was worth investigating. Val Hicks (far left), Workshop Dlreclor, reviews music with hIgh school music instructors as PresIdent Abe Gould (standing l looks 011. "Young Men in Harmony" \"<'ith permission from Dr. Drake to carry the project one step farther, Gould set alit to sec how local high school music teachers would react to the idea. Not only was he successful in finding interested high school music directors, but the men he found were interested cnough to want to use some of their precious odd hours (Saturday, Sunday and after school) to form chorus groups and work with quartets, _ Gould then moved his enthusiasm for the project in the direction of the community's leaders. For assistance in this department he callcd on a personal friend, \Varner Jenkins, editor and publisher of the Albmllbrrr Free Press} who thought the "Young Men in Harmony" project was a great idea and pledged his complete support, \'{rith the superintendent of The "Baker's DOlen," a prominent West Coasl barbershop group, under lhe schools and the local paper on his side, lining up the rest of the direclion of Val Hicks, presented a "live" demonstration of barbershop communit}, was relatively easy.

Aftcr several months of careful planning, during which Gould solicited the help of Barbershoppers in the area (Reseda, Pasadena, Arcadia, \'\Iest Covina, \'\Ihicrier, Downey, Smith Bay, San Gabriel, Pomona), the first show was staged on May 13, 1967 with four schools participating, supported by four Society quartets. It was a creditable show and evcn though it didn't draw as large an audience as was hopcd for, it carried its own weight, with some money left over which was placed in a scholarship fund for the boys.
