Carlinville IL – Old South School (1 of 3)


Image by myoldpostcards
Carlinville’s old South School, located a block south of the square, has been given a second life as the South School Apartments. The building on the left held classrooms for the elementary students, while junior high students attended classes in the building on the right.

The southernmost building was constructed on the site of the original City Free School, which was dedicated in 1866, and eventually became known as the first South School. The archway entrance of the City Free School was saved when the original school was demolished, and was incorporated into the design of the new South School. The archway can be seen in the second and third photos in this series, and is located on the southernmost building.

Carlinville is the seat of Macoupin County, and is located about 40 miles south of Springfield on Illinois Rt. 4. The population of Carlinville was 5,685 at the 2000 Census.

You are invited to stay and browse through my photostream. Here’s a quick index to my Flickr site:

Central Illinois (except Springfield): Central Illinois (except Springfield): Photos relating to the middle section of the "Land of Lincoln" (except for the Capital City of Springfield) may be found in this collection. Every city and town I’ve photographed is contained within its own set, and rural (as in "counrtyside") photographs are grouped by county.

Springfield, Illinois: All of my photographs of Springfield and the Abraham Lincoln Sites are in this collection. For the City of Springfield, there are separate sets for the Capitol Complex, Downtown (including the Old State Capitol), Neighborhoods, Parks, Illinois State Fairgrounds (and past State Fairs), and more. Photographs of Lincoln sites include the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, Lincoln Home National Historic Site, Lincoln Tomb, and so on. Also in the Lincoln "All About Abe" (Set) are a few Lincoln sites not located in Springfield.

Beyond Central Illinois: Other locales in the United States and Canada including New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Seattle.

In addition to my location-based sets, here are links to some "topical" collections and sets I’ve put together:

Automobile Photograph Collection: This is a very large collection of images whose primary, but not exclusive, focus is on American automotive classics. Images are organized by decade, by manufacturer, and by topics (such as convertibles, station wagons, muscle cars, etc.)

Barbers & Barber Shops: Traditional barbers and barber shops are on the endangered species list. But there are still plenty to be found if you go looking for them.

Almost Everything Else. Check It Out!!!: Included topics range from man’s first walk on the moon to small town schools and churches, and from Soft-Coated Wheaten Terriers (our favorite breed) to things that are abandoned, neglected, weathered, or rusty.

Olympic Coaching Clinic Booklet Cover June-July 1972, photo is of Steve Prefontaine, 254, June 25, 1971 AAU Championships, Hayward Field, Eugene OR, 3 mile race, Pre’s winning time was 12:58.6. In photo L to R: Frank Shorter, Pre (behind front runners), unk, Steve Stageberg, Terry Harrison, rest unk

The quotes and info below are from an article by sports editor Jerry Uhrhammer in the June 26, 1971 issue of the Eugene Register-Guard.

8100 fans watched Pre run the second-fastest US 3-mile time ever. The record was held by Gerry Lindgren who ran 12:53.0 in 1966. Lindgren placed fourth in this race. Pre and Lindgren were the only two US men to break 13 minutes as of this race.

Steve Stageberg of Georgetown TC, originally from South Eugene HS, Oregon, was only .5 second from becoming the third to break 13 minutes in his personal record run. His 13:00.4 time beat his prior personal best in 1970 of 13:15.8 by 15.4 seconds. "And this was precisely the race I wanted — a hard gut race from the beginning. None of that puss-footing around with a slow pace and everybody sprinting at the end." Even miler Marty Liquori predicted the race would be "The best three-mile there’s ever been in America . . . a very competitive three or four-way race down to the last lap."

Top finish order:

1, Steve Prefontaine (OR) 12;58.6 – New field & OR record; meet record
2. Steve Stageberg (Georgetown TC) 13:00.4
3. Frank Shorter (FL TC) 13:02.4
4. Gerry Lindgren (unattached) 13:04.3
5. Martio Perez (Mexico) 13:04.3
6. Terry Harrison (SC Striders) 13:07.0

Pre set a new meet record last set by Bob Schul of the Ohio AAU with a 13:10.4 in 1965. Pre set new Hayward Field and U. Oregon records in the three-mile, beating his own prior record time of 13:01.6 on April 3, 1971 at a dual OR-Stanford meet.

As another indicator of the quality of competitors at this meet, Ivory Crockett of the Philadelphia Pioneer AC, the defending champion with 9.3 seconds in the 1970 AAU 100 yard dash, placed fifth in this meet’s 100 event with a time of 9.1!

Pre grimaced in disappointment at not beating Lindgren’s record time. "I know, but I’m a little closer . . . maybe by the end of the summer." Pre’s previous best time in the three mile was 13:01.6.

While Lindgren’s 1966 effort was a solo jaunt much of the way. This race was anything but. It was highly competitive the whole distance. Stageberg and Frank Shorter both ran personal best races. Pre, Shorter, Stageberg and Lindgren were in the leading group all the way, Lindgren leading for a time early in the race. Pre and Shorter traded leads much of the rest of the way.

The first mile clocked at 4:17, the second at 4:25. With two laps to go, Pre was in front with Shorter off his shoulder. On the 11th of the 12 laps Pre picked up the pace and opened a slight gap. Stageberg took advantage, moving past Shorter into second. The two Oregonians from Coos Bay and Eugene were side-by-side at the gun lap start.

"With a lap to go, I knew the crowd wanted it, too. . . . I couldn’t let them down," said Pre.

Stageberg heard the crowd too: "All the way down the backstretch all I could hear was the din . . . it came in waves. It was deafening . . . an extremely surrealistic feeling."

Going around the turn, Pre looked over and saw Stageberg out of the corner of his eye. Stageberg saw him look. "My first thought was that maybe he’s worried."

Both were running strong, but Pre opened up a slight lead on the final turn, then increased as Stageberg began tiring. Pre built the lead to 25 yards at the tape, completing his final lap in 58.8 and the final half mile in 2:02.5.

The elated Pre jogged around the track on victory laps, waving to the crowd. "Did I look tough?" he asked with a grin as he came to the interview area. "I think I had a lot left. I don’t know why I let up coming off the last turn." He had seen Stageberg fading. "I should have kept driving to the finish line but I didn’t know I was under 13 minutes."

Pre called the track "beautiful" and said the same of the spectators. "Those people are fantastic. They’re my people, man. How can you lose with 12,000 people behind you?" (They probably sounded like 12,000).

"I redeemed myself for last year’s race, that’s for sure," said Pre, referring to his fifth place AAU finish when he ran on an injured foot. When asked what was going through his mind, Pre thought for a moment, then grinned and said: "Who’s next?"

Pre and Stageberg’s times qualified them for the 1971 Pan-American Games in Cali, Colombia. Pre competed in this meet.

Pre’s run times in the National championship 3-mile event:

1969, 29 June: 4th, 13:43.0 (just graduated high school)
1970, 27 June: 5th,13:26.0
1971, 25 June: 1st, 12:58.6 Field and UOregon Record; meet record
1973, 16 June: 1st, 12:53.4. Meet Record (just graduated from the University of Oregon) This was the last year the 3 mile event would be held at the Nationals; thereafter only the 5000m event was held.
