Great pictures. Thanks!

A thing to think about…many of those high school boys were soon off to fight in WWII…. my mom graduated high school in 1942…75% of the male graduates in her school were killed in the war….never forget those fine young men

Kids - especially the girls - dressed way better then. Plus, they were so fit and trim as well.

I’ve been doing quite a bit of research and we are at a turning point in society. We have already met a fork in the road and society went a certain way. We are seeing the effects of that choice. If you ask yourself, what was the turning point in our society? You can ask yourself what decade did this start? Eventually, I believe anyone would arrive at the 1960s with the notorious title of “sexual revolution.” During the 1960s one of the most monumental things in human history happened Vatican 2. I don’t want to explain everything it would be too long. During all this time, we even have homosexuals who can legally get married and now we are at a point where we have adults who are not hiding their faces and promoting pedophilia they are trying to normalize sex with children. You can look this up for yourself even the UN wants to drop the age of consent or have no age of consent. Like a prophet Dr. James Dobson predicted all this, he said once homosexuals are allowed to get married. Once those floodgates are open anything goes even pedophilia we have arrived. He said this 20 to 30 years ago.

If time could only stand still and we could live like we did in the 40, 50s and 60s I noticed how everyone dressed so nice. Back than we had no distractions families were real families that got together and enjoyed each others company. Families had Sunday dinners and went for a drive. People felt connected now with each generation we’ve lost so much of what made us human. People are like robots staring at their cell phones children are no longer safe at schools oh I could go on and on. I was born on New Years of 67 and for some reason I just thought the world would stay the same I can remember watching my favorite show Little House on the Prairie it felt like time moved slow when it was actually moving fast and now that I’m older I look back and it almost feels like a dream time is the biggest thief. I am grateful I lived in an era where life felt safe the kids today with their electronics will never know the world I grew up in because it’s something you have to experience to understand. I would say the world changed through the tv the type of programs the electronics was our biggest deceiver because it’s replaced everything that is good. Families no longer get together every connection is through social media and that’s a cold way of communicating.

I was born in 1950. I grew up with a lot of the 1940's still noticed in the 50s. The 40s teenagers had class. No piercing of their lips or pierced nose rings or lots of STUPID tattoos. Also, no grossly overweight fat female pigs like we see today at the supermarkets. Even their toddler kids are grossly overweight. I wish I could turn back 75 years ago.

Jim Crow laws were a feature of the American South. They were around a lot longer than the KKK.Even so, blacks were treated like second class citizens at best. WW2 very much opened the eyes of many whute Americans because it showed where institutionalized racism could lead a nation to treat its racial minorities. Remember that it was progressive thought in the 1930s to value eugenics and racial superiority, and that was carried into the '40s.

Fast forward to 2023, and I'm not sure what planet we live on anymore, especially since 2021, where everything and almost everyone has gotten so crazy, and bizarre. As far as some comments regarding nostalgia for that decade, just remember that this was the time of the Second World War (1939- 1945), segregation in the Southern US (until 1965), relocation of Japanese-Americans during the war from 1942-1945 ( by President Roosevelt's Executive Order 9066 of 1942) and other racist laws by politicians, the start of the Nuclear Age and the Cold War (1945 -1991), etc.

This is what happens when they create lies to make people 'feel better' if you are fat people used to call you out untill you did something about the problem, now they call you a hero and start sucking on Lizzos toes!

It's like the dress codes worked! Boys had to wear dress clothes and a tie. Girls , a dress that came to the knee.

Sadly, it’s this generation who fight for diversity. They’re idealistic and want a diverse America.

Hey, @mattsilver986. Glad you like the video - thanks for watching and commenting. The song with the vocals playing at the 5:00 mark is called, "Vintage Dream," the artist is Mathilda June. The faster instrumental song that starts at 5:17 is called, "Hot Piece for Sale," by Martin Landstrom.

When America was a better place without all the kooks and screwballs. We are in the end times now.

Pretty girls back then!

No computers, few TV's, no fat people...

No bad dressing, no tatoos, no piercings, no drug-zombies looks, no fake happiness looks, no bullier looks, no depressed looks, no back-stabbers looks, no slutish looks, no bitchi-looks, no witchy looks... and no God-less looks.

People are crazy today

Amazing how they looked all related in big group settings. Generations still living in the towns their ancestors settled I guess.

Those Beach Girls at 5:43 are all Gorgeous they are Beautiful in every way possible.
