'Turnback Tuesday' features photo of Derby High School Class of '29

Turnback Tuesday takes another step back in time to Derby High School with the graduating class of 1929.

There were a total of 59 graduates that year, with 56 pictured here.

These graduates saw many things happen in 1929:

Popeye's debut; the St. Valentine’s Day massacre in Chicago, first car radio, public phone booths appeared in London, Grand Teton National Park established, 7-Up invented, San Francisco's longest bridge in the world opened and the devastating Stock Market Crash of Oct. 24-29. Anne Frank and Martin Luther King Jr. were born and Wyatt Earp passed.


Thanks goes to Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
