Peter's+1950's

= ﻿ccccccd The 1950's!!!!! = = ddd Once you clicked on this page, you entered a time machine set for January 1,1950. You have to live ten years before you can come back to today(2011). You will learn many things through Jan. 1, 1950 all the way to Dec. 31, 1959. Hi, I'm Peter. I'm doing reasearch on the time frame of 1950-1959(I'm counting both 1950 and 1959). The the 3 main topics of my project are ﻿ Music, Sports and Visual Arts. =  ddd The first topic is music. The hit singer in the 1950's is. ..

= ELVIS PRESLY!!!!!! In 1956, two of his songs were tied for #1 on the charts. It was Hound Dog and Don't Be Cruel. [|Click Here to listen to Hound Dog] ﻿ In 1950, the #1 song was White Christmas by Bing Crosby. There also was Rock Around the Clock by Bill Haley & His Comets. If you haven't noticed, the main genre of music was (or is) rock and roll. ﻿ = ddd Next up is sports.The 50's wern't known for sports, that's later in time. The sports that were famous was soccer, baseball, football (as always), golf, and basketball. Some famous sport stars were Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra. Maybe you might think that there was Babe Ruth but no.

= ﻿Last but not least is Visual Arts. The 1950's were a lot different to ﻿ today. There movies back then were ﻿black and white ﻿. Back then, they saw movies in a drive-in movie theaters. The favorite genre of movies was family movies. You would think there would be kid movies but they're were not. It really stinks, huh. =



= ddd That concludes the report. It's December 31st so you can go back to your time period. But, you have ﻿to agree that the 1950's was the best time period ever! Go to your time machine and go. Buy, see you later! I might still be living in your time peroid! = = ﻿ = wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww ﻿Other Facts ﻿wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
