Ah yes, and the Graduating Class of 1958, those born in 1940. America was not involved in WWII yet, pulp magazines was the literature of the masses, and Superman and Batman were still new. There were great serials playing at the movie houses, and Hollywood kept their little sex scandals secret. We just had to get through the next five years, and life would be sweet again.
