[78-L] Happy Birthday

[AllenAmet at aol.com]

>>The "Happy Birthday to You" lyrics did not appear in print until  the 
1920s and were not "officially" fixed to the melody until  1935.<<
 
-----------
I am looking at a 1924 edition of Harvest Hymns, published in 1924 (Texas), 
 which has both the words and lyrics (4 verses, as No. 218), 2nd stanza)..
 
  The melody appeared in 1893, in "Song Stories for the Kindergarten."  By 
1946, both sisters had passed on (Mildred in 1916).
