Pictures of the Past #42

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 five contestants who represented Cape Junior High School in The Missourian's Regional Spelling Bee in 1958 are shown here.

July 3, 1956 Southeast Missourian. Dr. W.W. Parker, 23 years president of State College until his retirement Sunday, was presented an honorary membership in the Cape Girardeau Rotary Club Monday in a program dedicated to his work in the club, community and district. Dr. Dan B. Cotner, left, who had been a student at the college during Dr. Parker’s tenure, outlined the physical growth of the district institution, told of the increased enrollment, cited the academic development and then described Dr. Parker’s many educational, civic and district activities. He was followed by Allen L. Oliver, shown presenting the award to Parker, who cited personal reminiscences of Dr. Parker and his work in Rotary; others shown were program chairman Lawrence Bahn, next to Cotner; and B.A. Walther, club president. (G.D. Fronabarger/Southeast Missourian archive) [The photo was taken during Cape Girardeau's sesquicentennial. Two of the men are sporting beards. Walter Winfield Parker was the ninth president of Southeast Missouri State College from 1933-1956. He was succeeded by Mark F. Scully.]

The Rev. R.H. Holliday was pastor of Centenary Methodist Church in Cape Girardeau in 1954. Bill Stone wrote: "The correct middle initial of Dr. Holliday was C. That is how he signed the Bible he gave me when I was confirmed in Centenary Methodist Church. He mentored me thorough my God and Country Boy Scout Award. He was a man short in stature but one of the kindest and most gracious persons I have ever met. I think he retired from the Ministry around 1960 or 1961."
