Derby High School yearbook featured 5 years ago on 'Turnback Tuesday'



DERBY - This week's "Turnback Tuesday" features the Derby High School yearbook, “Lookout.”

The logo is of a clipper ship like the ones formerly built in Derby. On the ship, the "lookout" was another name for the "crow’s nest."

The Derby Public Library has copies of the Lookout yearbooks going back to 1901. These Lookout books started out as publications from the high school students themselves including various school activities and the like.

The first Lookout that had photos of students was in 1935. The Library would also like to request your help to complete our Lookout collection. Missing years are 1938, 1939, 1940, 1999 & 2006.

Note: All book donations are accepted at the Library’s discretion. Thanks in advance for your assistance.


This 'Turnback Tuesday' post was first published on this date in 2018.
