Here's a cool clip of teenagers in the
1950s and
60s.
My parents, above, were
teenagers in the
1940s. They both graduated from high school in
1945. In the 1940s, most girls wore their hair parted on the side. My mom, however, preferred her hair parted in the middle like
Hedy Lamarr. Underneath my mom's photo in her yearbook it reads
Pretty as a picture and nice to know. She became a
nurse. My
dad was voted
Most Athletic,
Noisiest and
Teacher's Pest.
In the photo above, he poses before a game sans face guard.
This is
Hedy Lamarr. My mom copied her hairstyle as a teenager.

THIS about Lamarr.
Right on Hedy.
Typical teenagers during the
1940s.
Swing was the thing. When my mom was a senior in high school, she was allowed to skip school to see a matinee performance by
Frank Sinatra in
Boston.
Above are common hairstyles from the
1940s.
Va va va voom!
