Take me back to November 10, 1952

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

It is Monday, November 10, 1952. Anyone born today will have the star sign Scorpio. The weekend has just passed, so some people are feeling a bit down. Others are tired after partying too much.

It's November, so the evenings are getting darker and the days are getting colder. In music, the song "I Went to Your Wedding" by Patti Page is the best-selling record at the moment. Harry S. Truman is the President of the United States, and Winston Churchill is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

In fashion, women are sporting the popular "The New Look" by Christian Dior. This formal style includes rounded shoulders, a full-skirted silhouette and a tight waist. Meanwhile, men are beginning to follow a new "Teddy Boy" trend that involves greased-back hair, extremely narrow trousers and velvet-collared jackets. In Asia, the Korean War is raging on between South Korea and North Korea. Because it's 1952, radio stations and jukeboxes are playing songs from singers such as Leroy Anderson, Kay Starr, Johnnie Ray & The Four Lads, Jo Stafford, Vera Lynn, Al Martino, Rosemary Clooney, Eddie Fisher and Patti Page.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Hank Williams would be still alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "The Cisco Kid", "You Bet Your Life", "The Jack Benny Program", and "My Little Margie". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Looney Tunes", "Tom and Jerry", "Crusader Rabbit", and "Adventures of Superman".

Popular toys at the moment include Foto-Electric Baseball, Tiny Tears (doll), BAS-KET Miniature Basketball, and Feed the Elephant.
