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/

The Missourian published this image in October 1961: "Kiwanis Club members gave their time Thursday taking several hundred school pupils over the city, visiting industries, commercial establishments and observing the operation of the varied phases of city government. One feature of Kids' Day was a mock trial at the City Court room, where youngsters took turns sitting as 'jurors' during the trials and club members and attorneys gave their time to acquaint the youngsters with City Court procedure. This view shows William S. Rader sitting as Judge and Stephen N. Limbaugh presenting a 'case' to the 'jury.'"

Aug. 17, 1957 Southeast Missourian. On July 17 The Missourian printed a picture showing a "Cape Girardeau" sign near McClure, Ill., obscured by heavy undergrowth to such an extent it could hardly be read. This week the grass and small trees were cut by workers of the General Sign Co., at the direction of the Chamber of Commerce, and now the sign can be easily read at a distance. It was one of four highway signs erected in 1951 on arterial routes to the city as part of a community project started by the Rotary Club. Others signs were put up two miles south of the Illinois 146-3 junction, west of Wedekind Park northwest of the city, and at the south intersection of Highway 74 and Highway 61. Also a part of the overall project was the marking of community historical sites with bronze plaques, and having maps printed of the city with these sites designated. The maps were made for the benefit of tourists and offered at filling stations and other places doing business with traveling people. Assisting the Rotarians in the project were the Lions Club, Junior Chamber of Commerce, Coffee Drinkers Friendship Club, Optimist Club and Kiwanis Clubs.
