A gift from Dr. Clifford Larkins, '67
to the Highland Park Community
Music Playlist -
Songs for Holiday Season:
Choirs of the High School and Community College, 1956-1969
Highland Park, Michigan
Under the direction of Keith Sturdevant, HPHS and the HPCC developed some of the best High School choirs in Michigan, and after listening to the quality, I would venture to say in the country.
