'Turnback Tuesday' features Derby High School Class of 1957

Turnback Tuesday visits Derby High School Class of 1957, which boasted a graduating number of 78 students.

This is an image of a class reunion in 1974. Barbara Farley “Guluzzy” is standing on the left, second one in.

This image was a donation from the Farley-Guluzzy family. Any assistance about who is in this image would be greatly appreciated.

Some interesting tidbits from 1957: Gasoline was 28 cents a gallon, bread was 19 cents a loaf, a postage stamp was 3 cents, a 1 pound package of hotdogs was 49 cents, minimum wage was $1, and the average median household income was $5,000 a year.

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