We've seen a similar photo before in this blog. We take such things for granted now, but with the advent of aviation in the early 20th century, aerial photography was a novelty and having a photo of one's home town was a big deal.
This aerial photo was featured in a 1939 supplement entitled Hi-Daze. This yearbook of sorts was put together by St. Mary High School seniors and sold to students for 50 cents. With a paperboard cover, it was not as extensive as the yearbook, The Renard, but focused more on academics than extracurriculars.
Points of interest- the recently removed water tower at Second and Manitowoc and the rail yard between Third and Fourth Streets.
