I have a several song/choir books called the "Golden Book of Favorite Songs" (1927) "Blue Book of Favorite Songs"(1928), "Sociability Songs"(1942), "Twice 55 Plus"(no date) that my Dad used in Elk County Kansas in the '30's and '40's.

Given that we still have 3 operating one room schools within 30 miles of me I'm not sure about the "period" in question, (grin)
