The Scottville football team, 1929. Photo by H.J. Hansen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This photo of the Scottville, Michigan, high school football team was taken in October, 1929.<\/p>\n

The great Stock Market Crash of 1929 took place on Thursday, October 29, setting off a world-wide economic depression. Things were bad, but apparently not bad enough to keep these guys from suiting up and playing ball. Or had the market not quite crashed yet?<\/p>\n

My father, Dave Falconer (that’s him with the curly hair, front row, third from right), wrote\u00a0these names on the back of the photo. The spellings and labels are\u00a0his.\u00a0Left to right:<\/em><\/p>\n

Front Row – Backs: <\/span><\/strong>James Berry – Jim; Adison Miller – Addy – R. End; John Rosander – Rosy – Back; Holly Wilson – capt. – Back; Noble Stephens – Steve – Back; David Falconer – Dave – Back; Harry Young; Norman Benow – Norm<\/p>\n

Second row – Line: <\/span><\/strong>Morse Osby – R. Tackle; Woodrow Briggs – L. Tackle; Harold Sanders – R. Guard; Ray Sherburn – Center; Meril Wood; Bob Berry; Dwight Spuller – L. End; Don. Sager – Coach<\/p>\n
