The 100th photo in the Archives' Flickr collection is this shot of the Circle Six Orchestra from 1932.
The only information we have about this band is taken from a cutting that was attached to the back of the photo:
This popular orchestra is composed entirely of Deseronto boys and has been organized for the past five years. Since this photograph was taken the traps player, James McVicker, has added a set of temple blocks to his equipment. Reading from left to right the players are – Reginald Dawson, Roy Woodcock, Clayton John, James McVicker, Marshall Woodcock and Roy Kitchen (now a resident of Tweed).
We'd love to know more about this band and its members.

Reg Dawson owned a farm next to the Deseronto Public School. I know he had a son, Arthur that I grew up knowing. Reg's brother was Don Dawson, who owned the marina, garage and I guess multiple other businesses in Deseronto. Arthur is a cousin to George Fingland, whose father owned a farm adjacent to Reg's farm. Jim McVicker was the postmaster in Deseronto for many years.
