Mr. John Light founded the Warblers Club at Woodlawn High School in 1930 and served as its director through 1947. Mr. Light was a graduate of Northwestern University and while at Northwestern he sang in the men's Glee Club.
When he arrived at Woodlawn High School in 1929 he quickly stated his intention to begin the organization of a boy's glee club. Thus a vision in the mind of a newly arrived vocal teacher was to reach fruition through the establishment of the Warblers Club.
Young men from all backgrounds would forever be bound together by a common thread, the love of fun, good music and singing. The Warblers was a haven for young men sharing the same interests. Friendships were made that would endure throughout the years to come.
