Scope and content
Four young men from the 1936 Lincoln High School Band playing an instrument called a "Sousaphone." The musicians are, left to right, Warren McLeod, Ivar Ostlund, John Zuegner and Bob Carder. Each musician is wearing a uniform-cardigan sweater, white shirt, bow tie, dark slacks, and sailor-type hat. Over 1250 boys and girls in Tacoma are planning to participate in band and orchestra in 1936 and instrument shortages are a problem. For larger instruments such as these, two mouthpieces are provided so that two students can take turns practicing. (T. Times 9/18/1936, pg. 7)
