Out of the woodwork appeared this amazing, giant scrap book full of articles dating back to 1961 when the clubs first opened. All the articles used incredibly over dramatic imagery and language - describing the boys as living in dank, underground dark caves. There were quite a few "In Remembrance" pamphlets and articles for boys who had died in the war.
My favorite article was the announcement of a check presentation from the Playboy Bunnies to the Boys Club for $43 that they had raised selling "Rich Boy" hamburgers.
I also am in love with a photo from 1970 of three boys enjoying "Watermelon Day" at their Boys Club. I don't know what Watermelon Day is, but it looks delicious. Ah, the good ole days.
