JAck Musick was home on leave visiting his brothers and parents. He was stationed in Berlin, Germany so he didn't get to come home very often. His father, Arthur worked in the oil fields in Bakersfield, California. His brother Art was still at home but soon after joined the Air Force and was Stationed at Malstrom Air Force Base, Montana. His brother Harold started his own business in Bakersfield where he rebuilt auto transmissions. It was called Musick's Transmission Center. His brother Leonard was the head account for Exxon Oil Company. Arthur and Harold are the only two still living. Arthur Musick moved his whole family to Bakersfield, California sometime around 1935 from Childress, Texas. They were farmers but since crops were failing during the Dust bowl years they had to move to find employment. Great Great Grandpa Arthur was going to stay in Texas but his older brothers sold the family home so he had no place to live and had to move.

elvis presley jail house rock 1957

Elvis Presley Jail House Rock

Jailhouse Rock was an American motion picture that was directed by Richard Thorpe
and released on October 30, 1957. Elvis Presley was in his third film. Because of
an automobile accident one of his Co-stars named Tyler was killed. A few weeks
after the film was completed. Presley was so upset that he refused to watch the
completed film I chose this film because it is one of my grandma favorite song .

1956 Election

The 1956 election was a repeat of 1952.

Stevenson knowing Eisenhower popularity

rate tried to use everything against him that he could.

He used Eisenhower age and health because recently

he had survived a heart attack. Stevenson

was popular with the liberals for he was for

"all- volunteer" army, and social programs.

Eisenhower did three great things that helped

him become popular.

He ended the korean war,

prosperous to the nation,

and supported the brown vs. board of Ed.

One thing I think they both should of done was the issue about civil rights. What do you think?

United States Presidential Election 1952

November 4, 1952

The United States presidential election of 1952 took place during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. Combined with national tension and weariness after two years of bloody stalemate in the Korean War, set the stage for a hotly fought presidential contest.

The Democratic Party nominated Governor Adlai Stevenson of Illinois; Stevenson had gained a reputation in Illinois as a great speaker. The Republican Party chose popular war hero General Dwight D. Eisenhower who won in a landslide. Eisenhower, at 62, was the oldest man to become President.
