I just skimmed over the link at the top of this thread...concerning Columbia College.
It seems to me that the '50s era is attempting to be dissected by those who were not teenagers or pre-teens of that time period. There was a big differece in perspective back then. BTW..Performers wore the satin sports jackets. The pespective of my parents concerning the '50s of McCarthy...bomb shelters..and serious stuff...didn't enter our world. Instead of concern about.."Drop and roll"...we would rather "Rock n' Roll". Prob the biggest downers was when Buddy Holly and JFK died...until "Nam"....
