I graduated from high school in 1960, so I definitely experience the 1950s. It was a great decade to be a teen! My first car was a 1955 Chevy. I bought it used for $600! One comment... Wearing a suit or a sports coat to a dance must be an east coast thing. I grew up in the central valley of California and didn't own or wear a suit until I got married.
I graduated in 1955 we had three dances a year, spring, fall and the prom. all were suits required
this was in Iowa. I always wore a suit on a date or at least a sport coat and slacks.
