Scope and content
Surrounded by blossoms is the 1941 Daffodil Queen, Pauline Martin. This portrait of the radiant 18-year-old Sumner resident was selected to be on the front page of the News Tribune on March 23, 1941, the night after her coronation. In 1941 the Daffodil Parade and activities fell in late March rather than later in April. Miss Martin and her two attendants, Maxene Maddex of Lincoln High School and Doris Simonsen of Puyallup, would have a busy week ahead of them. Besides riding in the Daffodil Festival Parade of March 29th they were scheduled to start the Daffodil Festival sailing regatta, appear at the opening of the National Flower & Garden Show in Seattle and listen to the University of Washington Band perform at Jason Lee Junior High.
