How it was to be young then

I also got this book at the estate sale. "The Swing Era 1940-1941 How It Was to be Young Then." This book is killer. I would give anything for a time machine. Here are some scenes:

 This is a teenage party in someone's living room.

 HOT RODS!

 This is a scene from a frat house bash. Everyone is in a coat and tie, even the guy chugging. Last frat party I was at no one even had clothes on.

 Ten soldiers married at one time at the USO.

 Cheering on a swing band. I love the snood that woman is wearing and I want shoes just like hers. Oh to be young then. Or to have it be like that now.
