1950 TO 1959



     I am Eisenhower builds the
Interstate highway.
   I am polio vaccine that
Saves the day.

   I am the energy of  
Civil Rights.
   I am the first transcontinental
Flight.

   I am the Rosenberg's guilty,
Get the death sentence.
   I am Elvis Presley rocking,
You can feel his presence.

   I am a disc-jockey who terms
The word rock n roll.
   I am NASA created, can we get
A drum roll.

   I am the baby-boom era at  
It's peak.
   I am Rosa Parks not giving up
Her seat.

  I am the first episode of leave
It to beaver.
   I am the TV remote control
Receiver.

   I am the first passenger
Jet Airline.
   I am Winston Churchill when
He resigns.

   I am Barbie and the
Hula Hoop.
   I am DNA discovered the
Double-helix loop.

   I am the first credit card
And solar-cell.
   I am super-glue and the
Birth-control pill.

   I am the new rhythm
And blues.
   I am Elvis in Blue suede
Shoes.

   I am a fender electric
Guitar on scene.
   I am Chuck Berry and
Maybellene.
