Fred Lynch retired in 2018 after capturing images for the Southeast Missourian since 1975, in that time moving from black-and-white to color, from film to digital and to video.

Feb. 8, 1947 Southeast Missourian

Play is a definite part of every school's program to foster proper development of the body as well as the mind. Here Trinity kindergarten pupils are shown exercising on athletic equipment, while others, at the table, are playing a game designed to assist the powers of concentration. (G.D. Fronabarger photo)

Because of concern for children's safety, it is not used anymore, but it is still stored in a closet here at Trinity!
