The FASHION was on point! 1978… I was born 2 years later in 1980… I graduated high school in 1998 (Kearny High), and my class didn’t dress/look this cool!
I graduated in 1978.. why do I not remember this?perhaps because I'm so old now.. 😆.. but I do remember the people.. Coach Hall,Terry Peabody Alex Kiy... maybe I don't have dementia..after all.. lol
the boomers are from 1945 to 1964. the generation x starts from 1965 to 1979. So these are actually boomers. You can say they came about in the later end but that is who they still are. I wouldn't say they had it better than you. How would you like to go to the bookstore or library to find out something? rather than look it up in a matter of seconds or minutes on the computer. If you also didn't have a whole set of an encyclopedia, you were out of luck in trying to find out information, if no one around you knew what you were trying to find out.
@@203207ab , no, they aren’t boomers and generations aren’t neatly defined. There are huge differences between people born in 1945 and those in 1964, supposedly part of the same generation. Very late boomers have more in common with Gen X then those born earlier who experienced the 1960s counterculture as young adults at the time.
I'm a 1978 Graduate from HS in San Jose CA. That young man at 0:45 sounds like young folk today romanticizing the 70s and 80s. My parents never pined for the 30s and 40s though. Even though they raised us to live in the 1940s. Or, their version of it.
Yeah, I was laid back in 1978 (my class) and it wasn't because I smoked weed all the time. I literally smoked in every class I had my senior year. My friend and I had the same schedule and would sometimes pass the one hit pipe, take a hit, hold it a long, long time, exhale into our coats, and thought we were the coolest dudes in school. We may have been but, damn stupid! After the Army I became an art teacher. Apparently, I was still cool, had a stupid HS student hand me a joint. It was pathetically rolled but was actually pot (had to check). I knew I wasn't going to turn him in but, I also knew that I couldn't give it back to him. I felt like I was risking my job by taking it and flushing it.
@Daathiel My Principal (senior year) called me and my friend to the office and started asking questions that made it clear that he sat in his office, looking downhill across the field, and watched me roll a joint. The two of us, with a younger girl, climbed under the bleachers, still in plain view, and smoked it. When we got called to the office, panic set in and we stashed everything. He didn't do anything to us then, asked us to help him out with the drug problem at this small Tennessee high school. Never did know what he meant exactly but, "Yes sir." I did stop smoking it at school. My friend did not and got caught. I don't smoke it these days (mental health reasons) but, it sure is way past time for the rest of the country to legalize it.
Kids were huge assholes back then, a lot worse than today's kids probably. But we were also tougher than recent generations. Tough asshole kids make tough adults I suppose.
Look at all the skinny people. Gee, I wonder what the USA did to their food to induce obesity? May have started with removing fat from food and replacing it with sugar. Using steroids and hormones along with chemicals to speed up the process of the processed food. Now about 50% of the population is overweight, but almost exclusively in the USA. Other countries are skinnier, healthier, and have a work/life balance.
High school was a difficult time for me I was a foot shorter than the girls 40 lb overweight with crooked yellow teeth and a bad case of gas the ugliest girl in school would not give me the time of day so predictably I played with myself a lot and over time went blind
Yes, back in the 60s it was about sex, drugs, and rock n roll. Kids were dressing as hippies. It was down with establishment. In the 70s that somewhat quieted it down. Kids were wearing t shirts and blue jeans. And platform shoes. Sex, drugs and rock n roll were still considered cool, but toned down alot. There was more respect for the establishment.
This was an accurate portrayal of a typical day at Crawford. We look like a scene out of Fast Times at Ridgemont High. 1979 grad here; I was the one (dressed in pink) on ASB marquee duty.
Thank you for sharing...it was fun seeing my old friends once again!
All my high school buddies are still in jail for tax evasion

How were the 1970s?
I was 6 then my brother was class of 1980

Really does seem like boomers had it better than us honestly. Lol
Not really boomers since most were born in the early 60s. Very late ‘boomers’ at any rate.

No they didn’t lol you can’t look at a video then determine how good a generation is lol they definitely had bad very bad times

I was down the street at Horace Mann Junior High, 7th grade.
The kid talking about natural highs happened to look sooo highhhh
He must’ve been off some really good natural high at the time😅
Love it! Any video from 1972-73-74??? :-)
No social media, video camera in your pocket...simpler happier time.

The P.E. shorts are really popular in the 2020's.
Now these students are grandparents
definitely can't say that about nowadays.....
Cool!!
This might be 1980 or 1981 because that coach eluded to what the 1970s was. They might have gotten the year wrong.

Graduated in 1979 and if you notice, absolutely no one was fat.
Drug use seems to be declining?....Yeah, right. It's the 1970's...drugs were everywhere.
Class of 07 😢
Be lucky I was class of 2016

Back when girls weren't childish
And when boys weren't attached to violent videogames
Everyone looked older back then.

"Grouwated"? Pig Latin? Swahili? You need to get back in high school, & get in English class.
I graduated Crawford in 1995, my mom graduated Crawford in 1967 👍🏻
The spelling error in Graduated is insane, I thought you said Grawater
There weren't enough trans-kids back then. I'm glad that we have since been able to remedy that problem.
