Abstract:

Records of a conservative Milwaukee youth organization, formed in 1934, composed of sons of American Legion post members, and dedicated to instilling values of patriotism, discipline, citizenship, and leadership. The bulk of the records pertain to the squadron's Drum Corps, begun in 1935. The materials include correspondence, administrative and financial records, constitution and bylaws, annual reports, minutes of meetings, the squadron's newspaper, and other publicity items. Also included are records documenting state and national conventions, Drum Corps competitions, and materials used for Drum Corps performances. Most of the records were created or kept by the squadron's long-time leader, Joseph Hrdlick.
