Sommardag I Kangasala

front right Linnea

Sommardag I Kangasala, by Zacharias Topelius, is a beloved song about beautiful Finland.  It is a song of the wonderful view from a high place and is the song of a bird. 
Top - Leonard Svedberg








I include smaller photos from a larger photo of the choir at Hoquiam.  One shows Leonard Svedberg, one shows Linnea on the right beside her friend Astrid Svedberg, daughter of Leonard Svedberg. 



With them are three cousins of Linnea’s mother, Olga, Wilma, and Tyra Malm, Olga and Tyra wear scarves as headbands.  Also shown are Elmer and Carl Gord.


At an earlier Spice Drawer Mouse blogpost are photos in Hoquiam of the Masonic Hall and of The East Side Hall, the center of activities for the Songfest in 1924.
