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. The blog title is a nod to an earlier era of news photography and the 4x5 Speed Graphic: It's more important to be there for the shot than to worry about technical details.

New school for Illmo, Fornfelt, Ancell

Posted Friday, May 1, 2015, at 12:00 AM

Feb. 2, 1957 Southeast Missourian

Size and ground design of the new school building for the area about Illmo, Fornfelt and Ancell is given in this air picture. Located on a tract directly west of Ancell, the building will be 560 feet in length and faces south 300 back from the highway leading to Chaffee. It will include a high school unit, a gymnasium and an elementary wing. The building is to be ready for occupancy by the coming September. In the picture, looking northeast, Highway 61 is in the background. (G.D. Fronabarger photo)

The photo below was made later as construction progressed.
