Fred Lynch
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.

Young Cape Wrestlers

Posted Monday, March 28, 2011, at 7:30 AM

March 28, 1955 Southeast Missourian

This class is getting down to work. It was instigated for the purpose of training youths in the art of self defense and to instill good sportsmanship. There are 77 signed up, from 65 to 235 pounds, and the class meets each Wednesday night. The Odd Fellows, sponsors of professional wrestling here, back the boy program. Officers of the physical culture-wrestling classes are: president, Bill Poston; vice president, Walter Peetz; secretary, Ralph Thomas and sergeant at arms, Arthur Poorman. The committee on class problems is M.B. Craig, A.E. Smiddy, Everett Robbison, B.D. Crawford, Arlo Nelson, Pete Poe and Leonard Thomas. (G.D. Fronabarger photo)
