'Turnback Tuesday' highlights 1939 class of old Irving School in Derby


Turnback Tuesday goes back to the 1939 graduating class of Irving School in Derby as these excited, smiling students look forward to high school.

This photo was taken at the old Irving School which was located on the corner of Fifth and Olivia Streets in Derby. The students are in front of the main entrance on Fifth Street. (Derby Board of Education is located there now in a newer building.)

This photo is a recent donation to the Derby Public Library and we need your help in identifying these 116 young adults.

One could be your parent or grandparent. Let us know. Thanks!


Thanks as always go to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week!
