PANCOCOJAMS EDITOR'S NOTE:
"Old school" is a usually positive, nostalgic descriptor that means "something or someone from the past". How long ago in the past is "old school" depends on the person using that adjective, but it might even be less than ten years ago.
The Hawkins family's style of Black Gospel music is from the late 1960s. Their style of Gospel music has been called "Black urban, contemporary". However, what is "contemporary" changes over time.
Here are a few comments from a discussion thread for the video "Thank You - Walter Hawkins & The Love Center Choir" that refers to the changes in Black Gospel music that make this style of singing "old school":

Example #2: "Oh Happy Day" (Original)(1968) Edwin Hawkins & Northern California State Youth Choir
Gospel Nostalgia, Published on Jun 6, 2015
This track 5 from the 1968 album "Let Us Go Into The House Of The Lord".
Lead by Dorothy Morrison-Combs
Written by Philip Doddridge
Arranged by Edwin Hawkins
Edwin Hawkins was a pianist at Ephesian Church of God in Christ in Berkeley, California when he came up with the popular Latin/Soul version of the song “Oh Happy Day” in 1968. In an October 23, 2009 interview with the San Francisco Chronicle, he explained that "Oh Happy Day" was one of eight arrangements he put together for the Northern California State Youth Choir, which was made up of 46 singers ages 17 to 25, and the plan was to sell an album of the songs to finance a trip to a church youth conference in Washington, D.C. The tracks were quickly recorded live in church on a two-track tape machine (industry standard at the time was eight-track), but the records weren't pressed in time for the trip. They did attend the conference, and the choir placed second in a singing competition, where they performed 2 of Hawkins' arrangements, but not "Oh Happy Day," which Hawkins said was "Not our favorite song."
500 copies of the album were made, and one of them found its way to the popular DJ Abe "Voco" Kesh at KSAN-FM in San Francisco. Other stations followed, and Buddah Records signed Hawkins to a record deal, rechristening the Northern California State Youth Choir "The Edwin Hawkins Singers" for their reissue of the album, which became a huge hit.
This song was recorded for the Gospel market, and its secular success didn't go over well with everyone at the church: local officials of the denomination circulated a petition asking secular radio stations to stop airing the song. Hawkins had a different take. He told The Chronicle: "I think they thought they were doing the right thing. What confused me about it was they were teaching us all our lives that we were to take the message everywhere."
Dan Sorkin, who was a famous DJ on radio station KSFO in San Francisco, was a big supporter of this song and gave it a huge push on his morning show. He even interviewed Dorothy Morrison and Edwin Hawkins.
This won a Grammy Award for Best Soul Gospel Performance.

*Here's information about the musical term "singing in a round":
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round_(music)
"A round (also called a perpetual canon [canon perpetuus] or infinite canon) is a musical composition, a limited type of canon, in which a minimum of three voices sing exactly the same melody at the unison (and may continue repeating it indefinitely), but with each voice beginning at different times so that different parts of the melody coincide in the different voices, but nevertheless fit harmoniously together (Johnson 2001). It is one of the easiest forms of part singing, as only one line of melody need be learned by all parts, and is part of a popular musical tradition...
Some widely-known nursery rhymes are rounds; "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" is a well-known children's round for four voices. Other well-known examples are "Frère Jacques", "God Only Knows" by The Beach Boys (the first usage in contemporary pop music) and "Three Blind Mice" (Hoffman 1997, 40)."...

INFORMATION ABOUT GIRL SCOUT FRIENDSHIP CIRCLES & FRIENDSHIP SQUEEZE
I.From https://daisyscouts.wordpress.com/2009/11/14/friendship-squeeze-make-new-friends/ Friendship Squeeze & Make New Friends; November 14, 2009 — Heidi
"Friendship Squeeze
Have all girls and adults stand in a circle holding hands.
You can do the traditional right over left crossed arms if it is not too complicated.
Discuss the purpose and the “rules” of the squeeze, we are passing our friendship on to the next girl in the form of a gentle squeeze, reminding us that we are all connected to each other. No hard squeezes and no fake squeezes.
You may have to practice several times to get it right. You might ask the girls when they have received
the squeeze to put their right foot into the circle, or you can keep its location a secret.
You usually start the squeeze but later on you can designate a special girl to start it.
When the squeeze gets back to you, you can say “Goodnight, Daisies” or goodbye or whatever is
appropriate and release them.
Older Girl Scouts like to spin out. On the signal and still holding hands, each girl at once lifts their
crossed arms over their heads and turns facing outside of the circle, uncrossing their hands and bringing
them down by their sides. They then release hands.
Make New Friends
Make new friends, but keep the old.
One is silver, the other is gold.
A circle is round, it has no end.
That’s how long, I will be your friend.
A fire burns bright, it warms the heart.
We’ve been friends, from the very start.
You have one hand, I have the other.
Put them together, We have each other.
Silver is precious, Gold is too.
I am precious, and so are you.
You help me, and I’ll help you
and together we will see it through.
The sky is blue, The Earth is green
I can help to keep it clean
Across the land, Across the sea
Friends forever, We will always be

TUESDAY, AUGUST 17, 2010; POSTED BY GIRL SCOUTS ROCK!
"Friendship Circle... A Girl Scout Tradition
The friendship circle is often formed at the end of meetings or campfires as a sort of closing ceremony. Everyone gathers in a circle where they cross their right arm over their left in front of them and hold hands with the people on either side. Once everyone is silent, the leader starts the friendship squeeze which is passed from hand to hand. Often the girls will silently make a wish or think of something they are thankful for after their hand has been squeezed before they pass the squeeze along. Also, in some larger groups, the girls put their right foot out into the circle when they receive the friendship squeeze, so that everyone can see it travel along the circle."
****
III. From https://www.girlscouts.org/en/about-girl-scouts/traditions.html
"Traditions
Traditions give Girl Scouts a sense of history—and inspire them to be the best they can be.
Sharing traditions with millions of Girl Scouts—and the huge network of Girl Scout alumnae who came before them—helps remind girls they belong to a big, powerful sisterhood
[...]
Friendship Circle: Representing the unbroken chain of friendship among Girl Scouts and Girl Guides around the world, the Friendship Circle involves Girl Scouts standing in a circle, crossing their right arms over their left, and clasping hands with their friends on both sides."
-snip-
The Girl Scout tradition of standing in a circle and linking arms while singing "Make New Friends" reminds me of the custom of linking arms while singing the American civil rights song "We Shall Overcome". Notice that in some of the Girl Scouts "Make New Friends" videos embedded in this post that some of the girls sway back in forth or shake their hands up and down to the beat while singing that song. The "swaying back and forth" movement is also sometimes done while singing "We Shall Overcome". I remember that accompanying movement being done in the mid 1960s when people sung "We Shall Overcome" and it still is sometimes done now (in the 2000s).
My guess is that the linked arm, swaying movement was done while singing "We Shall "We Shall Overcome" before it was done while singing "Make New Friends."

We’ve been friends, from the very start.
You have one hand, I have the other.
Put them together, We have each other.
Silver is precious, Gold is too.
I am precious, and so are you.
You help me, and I’ll help you
and together we will see it through.
The sky is blue, The Earth is green
I can help to keep it clean
Across the land, Across the sea
Friends forever, We will always be

"Friendship Circle... A Girl Scout Tradition
The friendship circle is often formed at the end of meetings or campfires as a sort of closing ceremony. Everyone gathers in a circle where they cross their right arm over their left in front of them and hold hands with the people on either side. Once everyone is silent, the leader starts the friendship squeeze which is passed from hand to hand. Often the girls will silently make a wish or think of something they are thankful for after their hand has been squeezed before they pass the squeeze along. Also, in some larger groups, the girls put their right foot out into the circle when they receive the friendship squeeze, so that everyone can see it travel along the circle."

III. From https://www.girlscouts.org/en/about-girl-scouts/traditions.html
"Traditions
Traditions give Girl Scouts a sense of history—and inspire them to be the best they can be.
Sharing traditions with millions of Girl Scouts—and the huge network of Girl Scout alumnae who came before them—helps remind girls they belong to a big, powerful sisterhood
[...]
Friendship Circle: Representing the unbroken chain of friendship among Girl Scouts and Girl Guides around the world, the Friendship Circle involves Girl Scouts standing in a circle, crossing their right arms over their left, and clasping hands with their friends on both sides."
-snip-
The Girl Scout tradition of standing in a circle and linking arms while singing "Make New Friends" reminds me of the custom of linking arms while singing the American civil rights song "We Shall Overcome". Notice that in some of the Girl Scouts "Make New Friends" videos embedded in this post that some of the girls sway back in forth or shake their hands up and down to the beat while singing that song. The "swaying back and forth" movement is also sometimes done while singing "We Shall Overcome". I remember that accompanying movement being done in the mid 1960s when people sung "We Shall Overcome" and it still is sometimes done now (in the 2000s).
My guess is that the linked arm, swaying movement was done while singing "We Shall "We Shall Overcome" before it was done while singing "Make New Friends."

WISDOM FROM AN OLD POET
Posted on July 20, 2016 by pamecrement
"Many years ago while I was a Brownie and then a Girl Scout, I learned valuable lessons (along with having fun) that I really did not fully appreciate at the time. Age and lived experience have shone a different light on some of those things.
If you were in scouting, the first few lines of one song likely quickly come to mind. Until recently, I had forgotten the others.
Make new friends, but keep the old;
Those are silver, these are gold.
New-made friendships, like new wine,
Age will mellow and refine.
Friendships that have stood the test-
Time and change-are surely best;
Brow may wrinkle, hair grow gray;
Friendship never knows decay.
For ‘mid old friends, tried and true,
Once more we our youth renew.
But old friends, alas! may die;
New friends must their place supply.
Cherish friendship in your breast-
New is good, but old is best;
Make new friends, but keep the old;
Those are silver, these are gold.
The song came from a poem written by Joseph Parry who was born in 1841 and died in 1903. I am not aware of when the Girl Scouts began to use the words in the song I came to know or how often they altered all but the first stanza."...

"How old is song/poem that begins "Make new friends, but keep the old, one is silver and the other gold?"
I can't seem to find any origin on this poem when googling, despite the fact that nearly everyone knows at least the first line of it.
How far back can the poem be traced?"

Make new friends,
but keep the old.
One is silver,

A circle is round,
it has no end.
That's how long,
I will be your friend.
A fire burns bright,
it warms the heart.
We've been friends,

Comment from Esmeralda's Life Fandango, 2017
"What a sweet sounding voice and such a pretty girl. And, she sang the tune correctly, unlike done in so many of the other videos posted on YouTube. I am 71 years old and she sang the tune the way it was sung when I was a Brownie Scout. Back then there was only one verse and it was sung as a round. The other verses were added in the 1990s, I think. I gave 20+ years to Girl Scouting. So from one old Scout to a wonderful young one, thank you for sharing the song and your talent. And to Peanutislander24, thank you for posting."

Here's information about the musical term "singing in a round":
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round_(music)
"A round (also called a perpetual canon [canon perpetuus] or infinite canon) is a musical composition, a limited type of canon, in which a minimum of three voices sing exactly the same melody at the unison (and may continue repeating it indefinitely), but with each voice beginning at different times so that different parts of the melody coincide in the different voices, but nevertheless fit harmoniously together (Johnson 2001). It is one of the easiest forms of part singing, as only one line of melody need be learned by all parts, and is part of a popular musical tradition...
Some widely-known nursery rhymes are rounds; "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" is a well-known children's round for four voices. Other well-known examples are "Frère Jacques", "God Only Knows" by The Beach Boys (the first usage in contemporary pop music) and "Three Blind Mice" (Hoffman 1997, 40)."...
