How about 1957?
Of course, most of us are not old enough to remember these statements, but† 
The following were some comments made in the year 1957:

(1) 'I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, its going to be impossible to buy a weeks groceries for $20.00.'

(2) 'Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won't be long when $5,000 will only buy a used one.'

(3) 'If cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going to quit. A quarter a pack is ridiculous.'

(4) 'Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging a dime just to mail a letter?'

(5) 'If they raise the minimum wage to $1, nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store.'

(6) 'When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 29 cents a gallon. Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage,'

(7) 'Kids today are impossible. Those ducktail hair cuts make it impossible to stay groomed. Next thing you know, boys will be wearing their hair as long as the girls,'

(8) 'I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more. Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying 'damn' in 'Gone With The Wind,' it seems every new movie has some bad words in it.'

(9) 'I read the other day where some scientist thinks it's possible to put a man on the moon by the end of the century. They even have some fellows they call astronauts preparing for it down in Texas.'

(10) 'Did you see where some baseball player just signed a contract for $75,000 a year just to play ball? It wouldn't surprise me if someday that they will be making more than the President.'

(11) 'I never thought I'd see the day all our kitchen appliances would be electric. They are even making electric typewriters now'

(12) 'It's too bad things are so tough nowadays. I see where a few married women have to work to make ends meet.'

(13) 'It won't be long before young couples are going to have to hire someone to watch their kids so they can both work.'

(15) 'I'm just afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open the door to a whole lot of foreign business.'

(16) 'No one can afford to be sick any more, $35.00 a day in the hospital is too rich for my blood.'

(17) 'The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather, but I seriously doubt they will ever catch on.'

(18) 'I guess taking a vacation is out of the question now days. It costs nearly $15.00 a night to stay in a hotel.'

(19) 'Thank goodness I won't live to see the day when the Government takes half our income in taxes. I sometimes wonder if we are electing the best people to Congress.'

Do you remember          
rooter's busses,
after game dances,
the pig smell at football games,
keggers at the dam,
Mr. Malow's class (and the December celebration?)  
MacBeth notebooks,
P.O.D.,
the Ugly Man contest,
the base Teen Club,
dancing the Jerk and the Swim,
Jr. class picnic at Bear River,
girls could only wear dresses or skirts to school,
pre-game rallies and skits in the gym,
gym bags to carry P.E. clothes,
the guys wearing suits on game days,
'Goin' to A Go-Go',
GAA slumber parties,
that big trampoline,
Bob Dylan music in art class,
the Senior bench,
slumber parties,
drag racing on Jasper Lane,
the Beatles,
the Rolling Stones,
the Beach Boys,
girls wearing long straight ironed hair,
long hair for guys meant it touched their ears,
Sadie Hawkins dances,
where were you the day Kennedy died

How Old Do You Feel????
How many of you 'old' folks remember Jack and Ruby's in Wheatland
Football pre game meal at the Cottage Kitchen; people getting sick and after that it was hot tea and toast from the home ec dept. prior to games.
Watching football games at the 'old high school'
