Dr. and Mrs. Bryce March were happy and surprised to find the photo of their two children in the Mystery photo gallery, published in the Southeast Missourian on Sunday, November 4, 2012. The children, Melissa Lu March and her younger brother, Stephen Ross March, appear to have been 6 and 5 years old, respectively, when they were enjoying those flapjacks at Pancake Day which was being held at the Arena Building.

This aspiring doctor appears to be giving his stuffed dog an injection. The calendar on the wall indicates the photo was taken in January 1963. If you can provide information about the image, send a note to librarian Sharon Sanders at ssanders@semissourian.com.

An eager-looking group of youngsters posed for G.D. Fronabarger outside the Missourian building. G.
