Scope and content
Lincoln High School's A Cappella Choir left by train on March 26, 1938, to compete in the St. Louis Music Festival. The 60-member choir took along 10,000 daffodils to promote the area's Daffodil Festival. Mayor George Smitley, left, and Mayor-elect John Siegel, right, are on hand for the choir's send-off. Daffodil Festival Attendant Bernice Daniel of Lincoln High School, holds a bouquet of daffodils and choir manager, Milton Evans, wears a daffodil lei. The choir placed fifth among 27 and received a hearty welcome when they returned on April 6. (T.Times, 3/25/1938, p.18)
