Scope and content
Accordion class at Honolulu Conservatory of Music. The Conservatory's busiest year was 1948. At that time, the school branched out into Spanish guitar, ukulele and accordion lessons. The school had a booth at the Puyallup Fair and its own floats in the Daffodil Parade. During its heyday, a neon guitar blinked red and blue marking the entrance to the school. Pictured in photo front row, left to right, Herb Erickson, director, Kay Zimmerman, Carol Fisk and Virginia Crombley. Back row Rolf Hartlieb, David Peterson, Shirley Heggen, Richard Erickson and Walter Haavik.
