Pictures of the Past #50
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/

Sept. 23, 1954 Southeast Missourian. These 985 persons at the record Trinity Lutheran loyalty gathering Wednesday night at the Arena were served a turkey dinner within a 45-minute period, under direction of Charles Schneider. All persons were seated at once for the unusual dinner, the largest ever held in Cape. Fifty girls did the serving. (G.D. Fronabarger/Southeast Missourian archive) The Trinity Lutheran members and friends gathered to hear the expansion program explained to them by laymen of the church. Note the tables set up on the raised basketball floor. State College and Central High School basketball games had always been played at Houck Field House until that building was destroyed by fire in February 1948. A temporary hardwood basketball floor was brought in to the Arena Building from the former Weingarten, Mo. prisoner of war camp. That floor was 60 feet by 90 feet which was larger than the floor at the field house.
