Rock and roll happened in the mid 1950's. It took America by storm, then Europe, then the world. Its origins lie in a combination of rhythm and blues, jazz and country-western music. |

The earliest known song that represents rock and roll is a song by Bill Haley and theComets entitled "Rock around the Clock". |

That song started our school's rocking good time when the Mrs. Michelin and the school's Second Graders presented "The Rockin 50's an 60's". Mrs. Sharkey's, Mrs. Dumas', and Mrs. Sanderson's classes sang "Hound Dog", "Splish Splash" and "Bye Bye Love".

| "Stop in the Name of Love" was a good example of the late 50's music as soft rock hit the charts.  |
Music in the 1950's was a form of rebellion just as music of our youth is today.
Mrs. Ivie's and Mrs. Mehok's students shared "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" and "Do Wah Diddy Diddy".

The sixties fun continued with "Rockin' Robin", and "The Twist" as presented by Mrs. Baugh's and Mrs. Jorna's classes.

Ms Jackson's and Ms. Johnson's classes shared that song along with "Surfin' U.S.A." and "It's My Party" as a sampling from the 60's music movement . |

All of the classes joined together to end the program with "She Loves You". Once again, Mrs. Michelin directing, Mrs. Miller accompanying and Wagoner's Second Graders singing created an enjoyable evening of entertainment! |
