Pictures of the Past #76

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/

This photo was published Sept. 12, 1957, in the Southeast Missourian: "They kept it in the family. Champion male and female in the Hereford breed of beef cattle at the District Fair went to this family of brothers and sister who, from the left, are Terry, Delores Jean and Harold Hopkins, whose family has Hereford farms in Burfordville and Perryville."

Here's another SEMO District Fair photo, published Sept. 14, 1961: "The 4-H and Future Farmers of America shows at the District Fair are always major attractions.

This photo was taken at the old junior high, formerly Central High School on Pacific. It was published March 18, 1958. Here is the caption: "Junior High pupils put in a lot of energy in making this huge snow figure Monday. Some of the 'artists' are shown; from the left, Pam Kinder, Marilyn Hoeh, Pat Shelton, Nancy Wyett, Elwood Brown, Johnny Cotner and Terry Lukens."

Oct. 5, 1963 Southeast Missourian. Third grade pupils at Trinity Lutheran School busy themselves making vases. At work painting their vases are, from left, Debbie Hoeller, Linda Warner, Hunter Stiegemeyer and Wayne Sprengel. Miss Ruth Froemsdorf is their teacher. (G.D. Fronabarger/Southeast Missourian archive) Miss Froemsdorf told her pupils to bring some bottles to class for a new project. Some of her pupils brought catsup bottles, others milk bottles and various shaped bottles. Crushed eggshells, dried and broken into fine pieces, were glued onto the bottles. The bottles were then painted various colors with enamel. The results: beautiful and glittering vases.
