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.

Jungle Gym at Jefferson School

Posted Monday, January 11, 2016, at 12:00 AM

Jan. 13, 1960 Southeast Missourian

It isn't spring, but Cape Girardeau school pupils, catching a hint from the abnormally high temperatures here in the middle of January, make like it's spring. These youngsters, most of them coatless, were having a time releasing pent-up energy on a jungle gym at Jefferson School. (G.D. Fronabarger photo)

The temperature reached 70 degrees on that day.

Two days later, the recorded high temperature on Jan. 15, 1960 was 41 degrees.
