Hillmanns 39

THE HILLMANNS OF BROOKLYN

CHAPTER 39

1929

College Days


Marian is a flapper.


Marian says she is part of the Maxwell gang.  I "assume" this means she was attending Maxwell College. Marian became an elementary school teacher. 


The number one song in 1929 was "Am I Blue".  This was definitely appropriate after the crash.


In 1929 the St. Valentine's Day Massacre took place. Seven gangsters, rivals of Al Capone, were murdered in Chicago.


Herbert Hoover became president in 1929.  His campaign promise was a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage.


In 1929 the first public demonstration of a color television set took place.




The Museum of Modern Art opened in New York City.



Two Schwells. 1929 Births include Martin Luther King Jr., Audrey Hepburn, Anne Frank, Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis, and Bob Newhart 


I don't know who these children are.





I think we established a few albums back this was the way the men impressed the women.





Hillmanns albums come out on Tuesdays. Next week we're hanging out with more of Marian's friends.
