Pictures of the Past #20

G.D. Fronabarger left the Missourian boxes and boxes of negatives. What he didn't leave were IDs for them. Pictures of the Past features some of Frony's images we've partially identified. We're hoping you can help fill in the blanks. Contact librarian Sharon Sanders at ssanders@semissourian.com, if you recognize a place or a face. Mystery Galleries may still be viewed on our History Page, http://www.semissourian.com/history/

These veiled performers are unidentified. They may have been rehearsing for the Follies. Judy Triplett of Greers Ferry, Ark., recognized her mother -- Dorothy Bridwell -- among these harem dancers. She is the second from the right. Triplett said the photo of the Jaycees' Follies performers was probably taken in 1961 or '62 at either Central High School or the college.

Can anyone help us identify this green-thumbed couple? (Missourian archive photo by G.D. Fronabarger)
