Pictures of the Past #13

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/

March 30, 1963 Southeast Missourian. An Oriental atmosphere pervades the fourth grade classroom at Lorimier School where the pupils in Mrs. June Hudson’s social studies class are studying a unit on China and Japan. As part of the unit, the pupils are making costumes and other articles that are found in the two countries. Pupils learn about life in China and Japan by reading magazines and books by using audio-visual aids and by working in small groups that make everyday articles which are found in the Orient. During their study of the two countries, the pupils will construct everything from fans and lanterns to “coolie” hats. Some of the pupils are shown in their costumes are, left to right: Renee Bell, Mary Pat Beatty, Bill Leming, Steven Clark and Neal McDowell. (G.D. Fronabarger/Southeast Missourian archive)

Both are now deceased. I knew both well for many years."
