Go Barons!
Shots of kids driving to and leaving school, inside the gym and hallways.
This video from September of 1977 last around 6 minutes or so.
#andoverhighschool
This video actually brought tears to my eyes. The slamming of the lockers, the kids talking and laughing. There were no cell phones back then. Tik Toc was non-existent. I actually miss the good old days.
People were also much much more stupid, I remember if you wanted to do a project on white rhinos you would have to make a trip to the library, or if you didn't know something you would have to go get an encyclopedia. Nowadays, you can access literally any information you could possibly want, from making a bomb, to what Alzheimer's disease is, to current events, or what soy sauce is made out of. I guess you are right though, why would people do any of that when they can sit on youtube or watch tikky toks.
You missed the sucky ol' days too!
When up your nose with a rubber hose and off my case toilet face were the catch phrases of the day. There were no school shooters back then either
@@smokeskull Damn! I haven't heard or even THOUGHT about those old phrases since... well, probably the 70's!! Thanks for the memories. See ya in a while crocodile.
Stop. Kids still laugh and smile and slam lockers in school... you're just not there to witness it. Ffs, selective memory is what you have.
Those of us who grew up in the 70s and 80s hit the sweet spot.
Ah the 90's were pretty great too. Still no cells phones, school shootings (other than Columbine) and all that stuff. We pretty much did all the same stuff in the 90's as the 70's and 80's. After that though...things seem to have severely declined.
Certainly did - I wouldn’t have wanted to be a teenager in any other decade.
The music, the fashions and there were thousands of us - plenty of friends.
@@terri639agreed, however the 90’s were the beginning of the end.
Dam right 🎉
angela ~ l think so!
I graduated in 79, thus is exactly what it was like. Much better times than today.
Hey, I was also Class of 1979 I have wonderful memories of my high school year's... The best era in my opinion on many levels
Also graduated in 79! Massapequa High School long island ny!!
@@mayplace1961same class as Rex Heuermann
@@armandoacevedo6978 he went to berner high school. At that time there were 2 high schools in massapequa
I am a 79 grad too.
Not many of us had cars.
I did because I worked too much.
That kid with the new Chevy Blazer had to be rich.
Nobody at my high-school had a new anything!
Seriously, they all looked SO good. The clothes, the hairstyles, the colors, ... Everyone looks so fresh and stylish! Slim and happy people :) Just a bunch of young people talking to each other, sharing stories, laughing and interacting together. HUMAN interactions, no virtual contacts whatsoever, I truly envy them as a young woman myself (24yo). I know that the 70s weren't perfect but I can't help but fantasize about living at this time. Because you know, at least people were living.
Get a group of your friends and make a pact to ditch your cell phones and all social media
I agree. I'm a 32-year-old male. Are you born in 1999?
@@amazinggirl95 That's right, 1999! In January so I'll turn 25 in a few months haha
I was born in 1991~
Are you American?
Born in 1999, mid 20s
So...
I can't believe it. Time really
It seems fast.
I got rid of my smartphone 3 months ago. Best decision I ever made
We are blessed to have been teenagers in the 70’s. We just didn’t know it.
The best musical decade by far.
You're so lucky to experience the 70s as a teen. I wish I was born a little earlier. I was born in '73 so I experience a little of it.
Was it mandated to go to get indoctrinated school like today?
@@johnmicheal3547 - nope…..you actually learned the basics, as you should have ❗️🥊
Absolutely - altho I would have been in 7th grade, 1977. I watch this and think - wow - we were a civilized people. No fears of idiots shooting up our classes, beating up the teachers, etc. Yes, we were blessed.
Whoever shot this had top tier video gear for 1977.
lol and it was probably huge! We got our first 'VCR' camera in 1979...had sound and all...but was heavy.....came in a suitcase! heck...what came before it....super 8?
It sure looks like 16mm film.
Super8 film
@@KimmyGibson I still remember betamax lol. My mom got .E.T. which was probably the first "tape" movie I saw as a kid.
@@deanevangelista6359 Yeah, looking closely I see the lint and dust on the film. Plus other small imperfections that's seen when watching film.
As a class of 1977 senior, we seemed radical……I look back now and see how civilized we were. Indeed, a great time to be a senior .
Parents then probably: "All the young men now have long hair, how uncivilized!"
Me as a parent now: "All the young men then wore shorts & ties, how civilized!"
I was born in 71 and can honestly say that I am SOOO glad that I was! I had the opportunity to live in a time where cell phones and social media did not exist. A time that when computers did happen, we controlled them, they didn't control us. To see people walking around always in the moment not being consumed brings an amazing feeling of nostalgia. I feel sorry for the current generations and future for not being able to experience the same.
You were so lucky to be born during those times! I'm a young woman (24yo) but I wish I was born a lot earlier and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only young person who's sort of "nostalgic" of a time I didn't even know. I watch a lot of youtube videos like this one because it allows me to travel through time somehow :) I'm sorry for my english btw, it's not my first language
I hate our present generation😡
I wish things could come back like this 😭
@@carolineinthe60s I feel for ya. I was born a year earlier than John there.. But I have to say there is something YOU can do. I find myself doing it more and more. I simply quit looking at emails most of the time meaning. I may look at the file once or twice a month.. and maybe look at a couple days worth lol. But I don't care anymore. I don't carry my cell phone at home most of the time. If I hear it I have to run for it.
People "and work" expect you to be available all of the time. The people I truly care about know to call me if they want to contact me. I'll call back if I miss it. Texting is hit or miss.. Sometimes I look.. Most of the time idc and miss it till a few days later lol!!
I know you can't get others to do the same.. but I think I enjoy things more w/o the stupid phone on me all of the time. "I also hate the fact it allows the govt. the ability to track us all constantly". So there is that!
@carolineinthe60s You're English is much better than 99% of the people your age whose only language is English!
It's not so odd to be nostalgic for a time that you didn't experience. I was born in '67, and in '87, I became OBSESSED with the 60's. The music, the fashion, the culture. I work with people your age who rib me because I'm old, and I tell them I'm grateful to have been born in the Sixties, and that they're just jealous that I got to experience life at a time when everything didn't totally suck. Like it does now.
to bad your little kids are not worthy enough to wield school homework
I graduated in 77. Best time to grow up. No cell phones No internet no computers. I wouldn’t trade it for anything. The music we had was the best.
I graduated in 1980 and DESPERATELY wish I could have the '70's back. I know there were things that were already getting pretty messed up, but I still miss those days!!!
Narrator: There were computers. And the internet (Arpanet). And while cell phones weren’t a widespread thing yet, they did exist.
@@MrTangent not like today. People are always looking at their phones no matter what they’re doing. Social media has ruined human interaction. We never cared about it. Yea there were cell phones but mostly they were bricks and car phones only owned by the upper class. And the computers were trash. Lemmings was the most you could play on them. Again owned by businesses or those with wealth. And as far as the internet it was nothing like it is today.
@@MrTangent ?????????????????????????????//
The '70's were dreadful. Record high gas prices and inflation (kind of like now), gas lines, Viet Nam, Nixon, Ford, and Carter, really ugly clothes, furniture, and cars . . . There was some good music though.
I graduated in 1977. I'd give almost anything to go back to those days. Hard to believe that those kids would be in their 60s by now. Time marches on.
My dad went to the army in 77,he was 17
I graduated that year too! Class of '77!
This video proves that we were better off without being diverse.
My mom is Class 1977!
@@annagarcia1527 is she hot? Got a picture of her?
I remember those days. Class of 1982. Especially the sound of the banging lockers. Brings me right back to right before homeroom in the morning. The cars, the fashion, no social media, those were the days. I would go back to 1982 in a heartbeat. Thanks for the memories.
If you went back you'd make state, i know it! Keep the dream alive!!!!!!!

Going back during the Cold War looks good in your neck of the woods.
Me in 83.lol.i.agreee
They all look healthy and in great spirit. All of these kids must be nearing 65 by now.
Boy, my heart aches looking at this. The cars, the clothes, the hair styles, the young people. This was every high school across this country back in 1977. Man, do I miss these times. My heart just aches!!!
You're right. This is a pretty typical highschool back then. I graduated in '77 in Iowa.
me too i graduated in 82 every fall our hallways were full every freshman class stared with 1,000 students
Ya it’s like I’m in my High School in Montreal Canada 🇨🇦.
No fear of someone walking in with a semiautomatic.
My have times changed in such a short while. 🤓
Please note the incredible LACK of obesity in this video. We looked like an entirely different species back then. Yes.. the girls were far more attractive and the guys were allowed to have testicles.
i did see a student 2 seats up from me in 1979 had a gun i was going tell the teacher i was new to this high school i didn't really know any one students says he just mean kid
I'll say it again: I'm everyday grateful for growing up in the 70's.
I was 11 in 77. What a great time to be a kid. Hands-off parenting, banana seat bikes (with no helmet), muscle cars, knee-high tube socks, and mop hair styles. We caused havoc in an innocent sort of way. We knew where all the convenience stores were who would sell us dirty magazines and cigars, and spent our summers in camp or on the street soaking in life with no filter. Damn. I wish we could go back to those days.
@@jimbarrofficial yeah, before they taught how to be a panzy. God what a much better life we had in the 70's and even 80's. Miss those days for sure. Feels like a different world or definitely country. We've surrendered this country now though. It's over!
@@jonburrows2684 Yes, indeed.
Me too!
Me too! I was in elementary school, though. Lol.
Hearing the locker slams brings you right back.
No Piercings No Tattoos Decent Clothes Normal Voices No Bulling No Fear No Surveillance
Bullying has existed for ever, so don’t fabricate the past.
And plenty of condoms in your packets 😅❤
@@babyprince8923 I just love how people think that previous decades did not have the issues that we have today. No smartphones or social media? Oh, that must surely mean they had no problems with self esteem, no depression.. list goes on. All problems today existed back then, but for some reason people think they did not. I dont get it.
There were bullies. The kid at 2:07 could probably tell you a thing or two about bullies. Social media has just extended the bullies' reach into the after school hours.
I'm not sure what reality you lived in, but that wasn't the reality in my world. Learning to deal with bullies was a big, important part of growing up back then. As a boy growing up in the '60s and '70s who walked to and from school from K -12, dealing with bullies, overcoming my fear, sticking up for myself and others, interacting with all kinds of kids and adults, and in general learning to get myself to and from school, be on my own and responsible for myself, and making good decisions were some of the most valuable life lessons I ever learned.
No shootings, no metal detectors, no cell phones and no Tik Tok.! Ahhhh.... nice life!
Graduated in 1978, and so glad I did. Loved the parking lot at the beginning!!
No fat people🤣
Less than 1% of gun homicides occur in mass shootings. Also there were more gun related homicides in the 1970's than the past decade.
How will you reacted if you saw a student with a cellphone back then in 1978?
You had shootings then...it just was usually not reported the way it is today.
1970s had lots of riots and more racial violence.
Schools don't have metal detectors (Houston TX)
The best time ever, can we go back to these days. Notice them all interacting and laughing. Today they just stare at phones.
I love how non-Americans like to say: "Americans are always chit-chatting with strangers in public. I don't get that at all!". It's such an antiquated view of America. Sure, it still happens, but basically everyone under 30 is on their phone. And they DONT want some stranger coming up to them and chit-chatting. For better or worse, society has changed in this regard. And its far from just the under-30s, too.
@@erikstorm8935 they still are chitchatting with strangers just in person so you can still say that!
@@erikstorm8935 Before COVID I used to be one of those chit-chatters in line. But now I'm like get away lol. Really changed my behavior that stupid pandemic.
They Stare because they can't READ and all the depression pills they are on You have LESS to say.
I graduated in 84….. we were proud to be Americans, we respected our teachers, our hearts, minds, spirits were light hearted, we pushed our comfort zones, found ourselves through that, we have epic stories…….how lucky, fortunate we are, were.
I graduated in ‘84 also. Long before everything and everyone turned ghetto. 😢 American schools now are nothing more than indoctrination centers filled with ghetto trash. The great America we once knew is dead and gone. Very very sad.
Graduated in 1987. I hear ya
I was class of 80
Times have changed for the worst!
I sure miss those days even tho I'm fine today!
Thanks!
@@scottsinger273 I'm Class of '80 too. There was so much optimism and hope. Wish I could go back.
We left our cars windows down in parking lots at school and about, and left our Rifles in ranks in our pickup trucks unlike you people today. We had and still have Respect for ourselves and bodies unlike many of you to day.
Probably none of us in the comments actually attended this school…and yet we ALL did didn’t we?? I graduated in 79 and this is a perfect representation of high school back then. It can literally bring you to tears as seeing this brings back all the memories of an awesome time to be a Kid!
For me too, even though it wasn't exactly my year and i was 1000 miles away. That vibe was the same across the country for over a decade
Reading the comments of so many fellow high schoolers in the late 70s. We may have attended different schools, but we will forever share the same reflection of just how lucky we were to have grown up in that era.
Too bad y'all did such an awful job raising your kids.
@@loloholmes2793 You got that right.
@@loloholmes2793I blame it on the education system going woke in the nineties. My kids got all their wacky ideas from school, so my wife and I had to be proactive with them regarding what they were being taught - much more than my parents were with us…
I feel REAL lucky to have grown up then. I graduated a bit before this and by THIS time I was already in the Air Force and overseas in Germany.
@@loloholmes2793 Not quite. It was the high schoolers of the 50s, not 70s, who mostly raised Gen X, with divorce becoming commonplace, latchkey kids who felt alienated, etc. These were the kids born from the mid-60s to early 80s. Whereas those of us who graduated high school in the late 70s raised Millennials who, by and large, had a great childhood, but many of whom are facing a challenging world in their 20s and 30s. But it's not that we didn't raise them well. Parenting became a renewed passion starting in the late 80s.
No one looking down while walking. No cell phones. No social media. The best times.
Hi u are so right
i can tell youve never been to any modern high school...
You are a cliché
I did. Wasn’t part of the crowd and was picked on. I hated high school.
Amen to that God bless all of you guys on here I love ye all in Jesus Christ the Lord
TBH, this makes me wanna cry. I graduated in '82 and it was just like this. I eventually became a teacher thinking this was the way it was gonna be.
I was wrong. Dead wrong.
After 25 years of hell, I came to realize the America we knew and loved...no longer exists.
Wow.......sighs....so true. (Class of '78 here)
Class of '83 here. The big changes came around 2000.
@@kurtfrancis4621 i would say 2007, everything changed.
blame digitalization and liberals, not us
@@filteredvitaminsubstance5302nah we were still happy, ambitious and normal in 2007, 2012-onwards was when everything went downhill with all the unnecessary "extra" technology (which made us lazy and introverted) & woke/lgbtq insanity
What a great time to be in school. No social media, no cell phones. Real human connections.
You can go outside anytime you want and make a human connection... No one is stopping you... Try finding out the first name of your neighbors? Ask them their gender, don't assume!
"cell phone bad" - old guy who uses cell phone
If you were born after 2000 I feel really bad. That’s when I was born, and I was able to avoid most of social media stuff until high school. I feel terrible for kids these days who are given an iPhone at age 5 and never experience the outdoors and making friends the same way as I did as a kid. I talk to friends who work with children and when given the opportunity, most of the kids will choose their iPhone or iPad over playing with the other kids. It’s sad.
just disgusting-no internet-no porn-no cell phones-what a bad time to live and yet you come here and praise that BORING LIFE
@@vapordreams983not that cell phones are bad, but OVERUSE of cell phones is bad.
I graduated in 1991. I am so glad I was part of the last generation to live in a semi-normal America.
No cell phones, internet, none of it. We LIVED. We hung out at parties with hundreds of kids. Sometimes
a fight would happen, but no shootings of gang problems. We lived the same existence as these kids,
just with slightly different music and clothing. But 70's music was still popular. Aerosmith and Ozzy
osbourne are proof of that. As big or bigger in my day as they were in the 70's. I miss that. I think
we thought ourselves so far removed from the 70's but in reality there was only a few years difference.
I began high school only 9 years after this was filmed.
I would not want to be a kid in the 21st century.
That's your opinion, but I had pretty good memories as a kid playing on the PlayStation 2 in the 2000s.
@@qekruxt5089 Lol!
Very good but i was a shy nerd but smart..i graduated in 1989 . I agree with you but for me it was a little bit different ..like all people here say there was no cell phones and internet ..but late 80s different from 70s ..fear of aids , soy no to everything like no lovemaking , crack and judgemental talk shows adults judging teenagers lifestyles so id rather played the first nintendo after high school or watch cable tv ,but there was good music at time of my senior year or my first years in college !! for my existence it was skinny puppy ,faith no more, NIN and indie like pixies or primus yess you catch my drift so i was cool , since i was nerdy and shy maybe i prefer today ! now like from nerd or hipster point of view, i like tech ! it motivates you to go to college !! ok now a as a grownup ..internet is for adults not for kids it makes them lazy or watch bad things ..but today for our reality of bieng an adult and with a lot of responsibities, internet makes it exciting like to escape , we nerdy people find today is very exciting .but again not from a kids point of view . So as a kid i would like to be in 70s a good sense when sex drugs and rock and roll ruled ,,disco era !! or todays cause nerdy, lgbtq are not made fun of like the 80s or 90s!! our gen x was like we were on the brakes ..and we were born too late but also too early.. without a "consistent" road for vivid mindset
@@qekruxt5089 I graduated in 1990. Plenty of us had been glued to video games from Pong to Super Nintendo, then to the 8 bit/16 bit PCs that took over.
I graduated in '85 and hadn't touched a computer or video game (except for PacMan or something on occasion). Life in the analog age was hands-on. I was active and fit. I left the house a LOT
70s and 80s was the greatest time....we were going in to space , we were building computers, kids were playing sports, reading books like Lord of the Rings, learning musical instruments because we wanted to be in a band, building fast cars, secretly playing DnD. The Golden Age of Creativity.
Wish I could upvote you like 50 times. 👍👍👍👍👍
90's were great also. A decade of transition.
90's was better
I agree, but I could not understand why I was always having anxiety attacks from simply walking in the hallways. It was probably from all the girls I had crushes on.
@@trigfizzle6876 only 1990-1994 was good
EVEN THOUGH I WENT TO A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SCHOOL, IN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STATE, I SWEAR I COULD RECOGNIZE A LOT OF THESE KIDS. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE TIME....
You right!
I was class of 80
That's exactly how it looked!
Im fine nowdays but I sure miss those times!
Hey thank you!
The clothes, the hair, the happy memories. This is the year I graduated and I remember it all like it happened yesterday. Happier, easier times. ♥️♥️♥️
I graduated in 1977. Fun times. You can even kinda tell the types of kids as they walk past, like who are the jocks, who are the cool kids, the nerds, the misfits. LOL Takes me back. (Seems like yesterday to me though.)
Just did the 45th reunion a few months ago. Lot of old people there. Ha. Be safe
I graduated in '77 too. Those were good times.🙂
Yes, and the guy wearing a tie probably because it was game day.
Graduated in 78...
I graduated in 1977 also, high school was the best part of my life, lots of good memories and music.
Class of '82. Raised in the suburbs in the South. It was just like this, amazing. The student parking lot filled with mom cars and the occasional camero. Ford Mustangs were the thing in Raleigh. In '77 you could pick up a 1965, fair condition for $600. Crazy great time. Thanks for posting.
The 70s were the best years. Life was simple and uncomplicated. Everyone knew the same songs and games. Families had dinner together. Music was amazing. Now electronic gadgets separate people. Common threads are almost gone. People are isolated. I haven’t seen a kid mowing a lawn or playing outside in 15 years. They’re all inside in their isolated bedrooms on their phones rotting their brains. They will never know how open and free the people were before the internet.
I want to go back in a time machine to those great days of the 70s.
You should make a YT channel teaching this stuff. Could get popular like this channel did. Ultimately, this time died because older people took the technology route as well.
80s and 90s was great too. I also miss those days, that was my teenage years
Just because we have smartphones today, does not mean the 60s, 70s and 80s did not have electronic items that did not isolate people and stopped them from socializing. TV's, Stereo systems in general, arcades, portable music players, even cars had the same impact as of today, in which a kid would be swallowed by his or her car. Books and magazines and personal computers to some extent in the 80s. I dont get how you lot think or forget about the problems that were present back then aswell? Atleast today we can still connect with people through our electronic devices. Back then it was a one way street.
@@MrBa143 I would write a whole paragraph fooling you but nah, what I will say is this.
It's literally not comparable. You're an idiot.
I graduated HS in '75, but this is what it looked like, everything about it looked like this. Students transitioned from using Slide Rules to a Texas Instruments Calculator ! We also used graphite pencils to write with in our spiral notebooks ! Bic pens were quickly converted to spit wad tubes - a favorite past-time in middle school.
I graduate in 1976 and we had to use slide rules in my tenth grade chemistry class. Calculators had just come out, but they were still expensive and our teacher wouldn't let us use them anyway.
Haha yes spit wad tubes.
Class of '75! 🍻
That spitball thing started fights in my school. Bell had not even rung yet. 😂
(Junior High School) and it sounded better than middle school. Of all things, why was the name change necessary ? When you left Elementary school for Junior High, it felt like a bigger step up, than what they have now in, middle school, which is almost, irrelevant sounding.
Went to high school from 78-81, had better hair styles,clothes,music,hot rods. Better times.
It's kind of funny, but it seems that every generation seems to look back 15 or 20 years and yearn for the "good, old, days". We tend to forget the bad things. I will agree that there are way too many distractions today... cell phones, video games, etc.
@@lindafoofoo or perhaps the 70s and 80s were actually better times to grow up in.
@@Gamesso1slO0l They were better.
@@harrylongabaugh7402 Of course they were better times, we had those tube socks that almost went to your knees.

Absolutely love this! Thanks for the memories. What a great time to be a teenager!!
Brings Back a lot of good memories!!!
Thank You !
Graduated 1977 Houston Texas .
I was Class of '77. This is so nostalgic. I like how it's not trying to do anything but record these moments in time. It's not trying to make any kind of point or prove anything. Just slices of life.
Great comment David!
I was Class of 74, my first car was a 57 Chevy, gas was in the 30 cent range, no gangs, no violence, girls were hot, kids were pretty safe to be out at night, we’ll never see those times again and I’m grateful I grew up in that era
I bought my first car in 1974 - a beater, 4-door 1957 Chevrolet "grandma car" for $75 ! I drove that car all through high school until I graduated in 1977 and went in the
military. My dad sold the car while I was gone - also, for $75. Guys that had cars always had girlfriends ! I even had a couple girlfriends from the cross-town rival
high school ! that really made those guys jealous ! It was a very sweet time ! I enjoyed high school and made the most of it - even though I was a "hippie" and smoked
pot - I had some jock friends too - so I got along with just about everyone ! Got in a fist fight one time with a kid over a $2 hit of acid....very dumb.....
@@urbanurchin5930 me too. CO79.
I’m so happy that you got to experience that I’m gen z and currently a rising senior and my high school is nothing like this covid ruined a lot of things for me
Know what I love about these high school girls? I get older they stay the same age
I graduated high school in 77. I also had a 72 Ford Maverick. The kids dressed way better back then too. Theres no way my Mom would let me go to school with holes in my clothes. And we were a middle class family. People had more pride back then
True, and yeah, this video made me chuckle. I went to a large suburban high school in the mid '70s, roughly 450 students in each grade level, so we had all types, including a significant numbers of kids who routinely WAY overdressed. It was like a fashion show, mostly girls in their their lovely sun dresses and etc but also some guys with quite a wardrobe. I'm talking dressed like they were going to a disco, or some in business type suits. There was one kid who every day dressed like a businessman going to work in an office, full suit and tie, even carried a briefcase. Unsurprisingly, he was very smart, well organized, and got good grades. I sometimes wonder what happened to him. I'd be surprised if he didn't go far. I was somewhere in the middle. Most days jeans or similar with Cons or the ever popular Earth shoes, but other days a little fancier with pleated front baggies and bumper toed platforms. Good times.
Wow . . .Thanks for posting this! I graduated HS in 1976 so the cars, the hair, the clothes take me right back. What a trip down memory lane!
I graduated a year before this (class of 76) but the sights, the sounds, the cars, the kids, were still the same. It was a great time to be alive.

@@January6thugsRepublicans and the kkk have been around longer than you have been alive. Definitely past the 70s
@@January6thugs Since, like a typical leftist, you're making it all about politics, I figured I'd remind you that Communist filth hadn't yet infiltrated every institution in the nation and the Leftist Democrats knew better than to try and make everything gay and tranny. Oh, and in 1977, Reagan was just a couple years away from winning the presidency after a progressive Democrat had almost completely ruined the nation. Then, a few short years later, he won his second term with *FORTY NINE* states! Cope and seethe.
I was 16 in '77. I remember those days. We had problems with occasional fights but no guns, no garbage on social media, no sexting and beating up of teachers. You were more afraid of what would happen to you at home if you got in trouble at school. The pressure to get good grades and your driver's license at 16 was pretty high. No one wanted to ride the bus. We either walked or got rides to school from parents or friends. Those who did ride the bus were picked up at one location, and after school, were dropped off at the same location and walked home. Those were simpler times with different responsibilities. Alway had a job in the summer to save for a car or some other thing needed. We were not rich but we had 3 squares and I had to share my room with my bratty brother 😀. I remember the black and white tv with the rabbit ears.
@@nealraulston7055 plenty of school shootings from the 70's including kids slaying others for example. Feb 22, 1978 Lansing, Michigan After being taunted for his beliefs, 15-year-old Roger Needham, a self-proclaimed neo-Nazi, killed one student and wounded a second with a pistol at Everett High School.
Plenty of schools in the 70's saw constant gang fights with bats knives, and chains being used. Plenty of bullying, and harrassment going on with no one caring about it. Teen sex, and drug use were at their zenith in the 70's with the results of the Vietnam war eventually leading to a teen baby boom in the 90's. Everything looks good from a distance, and in our minds where we can look at it selectively, but the same social ills were taking place. You were just young, shielded and not paying attention; like most of us were while growing up in a stable home.

Some of the best times of my life, High school! This took me right back to the 70’s when I was in high school!!
77 grad here! We dressed like ladies, hair and makeup were natural, guys had respect! No social media, we had freinds from all walks of life but that too was just a natural thing in our school. Jocks, hippies, black, white, nerds, no one cared. Life was better without identity groups. Where did it all go so wrong?
I was a senior and graduated in 1977. Life was so much better growing up in that decade. I miss the music, friends and the feeling of endless possibilities of my future.

This was my junior year in HS. It is just like I remember. Laughing and having some good times with your friends. No distractions, no Twitter, and no Tik Tok. Blessed.
We had more fun when there wasn't Facebook, Twitter, or having a computer or a cell phone. We always had things to do and places to go. And most importantly, we had friends to hang out with. These days kids are either playing video games or always texting.

Truth.
@David Panetta Kids must of had it made back then. I graduated about 8 yrs back but seeing everything now after covid unless kids are into winter sports or have some kind of property with things to do there isn't anything left that's actually open.

Class of 1979 here. This brought back so many memories. Life was so different then. Today it's all a mess. Thanks for sharing. Hello to all the 70's graduates.
I was a freshman in 1977. I must say the parking lot scenes, the clothing and the hairstyles brought back many memories. We were fortunate and didn't even know it.
I was 11, but I remember how cool the teenagers seemed. This is beautiful.
✨💎 We were pretty cool 'teenagers in the 80s, you know
I realize how spaced out kids are on their phones. My god- - 5 teens sitting in the same living room & theyre not even talking out loud, theyre texting the person right in front of them! So it is very different. But don't attribute that to what Im about to say next, 'cause there are parents & children every generation who are "cool," "talkative," "quiet," or just "nerds"
My children have been out of the nest for years now. When she was about 18, two neighboring kids came over to meet my daughter after school- - a girl & a boy both about 11. I imagined they were brother & sister. I had only met them once before. And Jess wasnt home just yet. When the boy asked me how I was doing, I said "Pretty good I guess- - for a lowdown donkey nobody loves" trying to sound like Eeyore. He responded by introducing himself as "Christopher Robin," but he used a voice that was t o o effeminine. I went dead quiet & the girl standing by him just looked at me as if we mutually understood the problem
So I said "Whatever you do, dont use that voice around school!" After some casual talking back & forth for a minute, eventually I realized he still didnt get it. I wasnt going to be blunt with "because your classmates will seriously think youre a fruitcake & kick your a**, thats why!"
I was trying to think of a delicate way to put it, when the girl spoke up: "You know what the problem is, Jim?"
- No, what?
- "This is the moment when you realize your grandparents are c o o l e r than you are!"
- He's not my grandparent, stupid (motioning toward me)
- " E x a c t l y , " clueless!
I wanted to say "Who's the grandparent? You? 'Cause it cant be me!" But they just ran out the front door 😂😂😂
I was 11/12 and I was WAAAY cooler than my 18 y/o sister. Class of 84 RULED.

This sure does take me back to a simpler time. We had a 1976 4 speed, burnt orange Pinto. To this day, that was my favorite car. Loved it!
I was a junior in 1977. I had a Mercury Comet, looked a lot like what I think is that gold Maverick. But mine was two-tone red and white, much cooler car. I loved that car.
Pinto was probably the ugliest car ever made by Ford Motor Co.

My freshman year... We're all 60 and over now... No phones. No safe spaces. Sanity was the order of the day.
Ah, to get born in the 60s and grow up throughout the 70s/80s, no phones, everyone was happy, good times that I never experienced but have heard about by my parents.
I graduated in 1977 as well , and this is exactly what it looked like. The clothes, hair and cars all look good to me! These were the years, no metal detectors, no mass shootings, and the only drill was a fire drill! All were real good kids except for "the few" and don't forget the best music ever! I'd go back in a NY minute and stay! Yep, I can spot the school jocks and the popular kids in a heartbeat! Lol
Hello how are you doing?
Class of 83 attending my 40th class reunion in October,how time flies by.
You definitely hit the nail on the head with "The Best Music" Couldn't find a bad song back then and if you did it's far better than anything out in the last 25+ years.
Funny how you mentioned mass shootings. In 1977, a kid could keep a shotgun or hunting rifle on a rack in the cab of their truck and no one would bat an eye. Today it would cause a lockdown and a SWAT team to arrive in short order!
@@nottabidenfan1228 Right, I'm old and I miss my 70s! I'm bumming, that's how I'm doing. 🤧
I graduated high school in 1975. We didn't realize how sweet life was back then! Couldn't wait to get on with the rest of our life...I thought life was stressful, school, working after school, homework, ball games, dances, field trips etc. HA! What fool I was. Those were some of the best days of my 66 years of life!!!

@@JoePedo very scary 😳😄 but when you're young, horny, and inebriated, you don't let that deter you. 👍
I was a sophomore in 1977-78. The best thing about being a teenager in the 70s (aside from the great music) was that there was no internet or social media. Everything said and done is and will remain a secret.
@Yuck Foutube I’d gladly trade the advantage of “crimes being caught in video” in current day America for the 1970s
I sure hope you do not have children, That is a problem for anyone who has children.
Could people today survive life without plugging into a computer?
Those born in the 90’s or later have no idea how different life was back then.
Except for what’s contained in old videos that make it to RUclips 56 years later.
And no closed circuit t.v.'s and video cams round either! How else could we go "parking," LOL! Whatever happened there stayed there!!
I was a sophomore in 1977. This really captures the era. Except in my school there was a lot of smoking in outside areas
I graduated in '77 from a big city Midwestern HS, and at that time the high schools in our district still had a student smoking lounge, or the smokers could go outside (we had open lunch periods). Smokers standing under the football stadium huddled out of the wind and other weather was a pretty common sight back then. Neither I nor any of my HS friends smoked and surprisingly it was pretty common even back then for teens to be non smokers, but of course many teens and teachers did smoke and the schools provided areas to do so primarily as an attempt to keep it out of places they didn't want it to happen, like in the rest rooms. It didn't work (Smokin' in the Boy's Room).
We had a smoking lounge. Essentially an outdoor patio used by both students and staff - at the same time!
Brilliant! THANK YOU for sharing!
This is so amazing and shows how life was before the damage of social media! I was 7 in 77
Me too. Great cartoons, huh? And the Sears catalog at Xmas!
Absolutely spot on, Sash. Social Media destroyed Faith and Humanity. Always a double-edged sword in almost anything. It was inevitable because of tech always moving. It was bound to happen. A Reboot is coming for humanity. May take 50 years or less but it is coming. No way out of it.

Life is good but Jesus Christ is the ONLY way. Repent before it is too late. Read "The Late Great Planet Earth" -- a book written in the 70s. The things written in the book have either come to pass or are coming to pass now.

This is one of the coolest things I have watched on RUclips in a long time. The simplicity of it is beautiful. No politics, no bs...just plain reality. I wasn't old enough for high school in 1977, but I am so glad this is the decade I was born in.
Same here. I was 4 going on 5 in September of 77 when this was filmed. But I'm old enough to remember the clothes' and cars etc. Good times. I really miss the 70s, 80s and 90s.
Your pont is mute. You comment is after the fact. I can guarantee you that in 2060 RUclips will have a video of kids in school from 2023 and RUclips comments will say the same thing. « Ahhh 2023 was much simpler and everyone was happy than today in 2060 »

"We never miss our water til our well runs dry". C/O "79" ✌️
Being born in ‘94, I would have loved to experienced life like this it seemed so pure, what a trip.
I love the effect in video / audio in the cuts in the hallway.
1977 was my freshman year. I just traveled back in time. I even saw a few kids in this video that looked like kids I went to school with, although of course they weren't. By my Junior year, I had a silver 77 Firebird Formula, that looked a lot like the Firebird shown here. The parking lot scenes, the lockers slamming, all the background noise, wow. We had a dress code that was similar to the one this school must have had. No jeans, no goofy T-shirts, just nice, presentable clothing. This video is a national treasure, and I saved it and will watch it again, pausing often. What I wouldn't give to go back to those days for a while (or forever). Had I known how the world would be now, I would have savored every single second back then. I probably would have married my high school girlfriend too! I wonder how many of these kids were leaving school and driving directly to their after school jobs like I did (True Value Hardware). Every kid had a job back then. When you met a new kid, it was normal to ask "where do you work?" almost immediately. We earned our own money, respected adults, and knew how to drive a 4-speed or even a "three on the tree". That's just the way it was back then. Watching this, it's hard to believe how fast 46 years went by. It seems like yesterday to me.
agree, but we did wear jeans and our hair was longer
Agree on some points you made but T shirts with crazy sayings were very much worn at my HS in 77-81 and hardly any kids drove a year old vehicle we were lucky to have a 8 year old car haha .
And now this video would be shown by liberal teachers, activists, and professors , telling your grand kids this is white privilege and the school needs more diversity and other ethnic groups to have a “chance” now nobody works after school, so many job openings, all the kids do is play on their phones and video games, and watch illegal aliens take over all the jobs in every industry
Hahaha, yeah, I did a double-take at the kid with the jean jacket getting out of the black, Blazer type vehicle thinking, "Wait, was that ME"? 😂
Yep well said, I worked at a full service Standard station, worked midnights, got out of work than went to school, didn't have a lot of time for sleeping and getting my playing in, man those were the days, I graduated in 77.
This is pure gold. Simpler times gone forever.
The year I graduated high school. Oh for a time machine to go back to those days, I miss them terribly.
That sound of banging lockers ♥️. Class of ‘79. We didn’t know how great we had it!
I'm class of 77, it was terrific! Notice how we walked with our heads up, not looking down into a cell phone. We're actually looking where we're going. Oh the music in 77 and the muscle cars. I miss the 70's so much.
Jim, I also graduated in 1977 from a small school. I think I graduated with about 90 in my class. I knew everyone of them. Great music, clean fun. If you had a Cutlass or Monte Carlo you were in! Your problems were few and the future looked bright. Miss those days too.
@@corkyrose9011 Spot on correct. I had a 71 pickup truck with a CB radio and surfboards in the back. So much fun.

The 70's was one huge party and we didnt even know it. Platform shoes, bell bottom pants, blacks had some serious afros! We were stylin!

1977 - my first year of Jr. High. The laughing and socializing, clanging lockers, this video really took me back. I've forgotten how lively that time was.

My school year of 1976-77 was when I entered the 7th grade of junior high school. The Eagles album “Hotel California” came out that same year, although no one could understand the title track (song) and what it was about. I miss those days too. The Friday night football games.

And we feared our parents too. Teachers and parents paired up for the sake of the child. We didn't have Karens running to scream at school boards and main offices because of immunization requirements and telling their kid to put their phone away during class. People today are nuts.

This video is stellar! I was born in 1977. What "Karen Bell" commented is the absolute truth. Even in the 1980's it was still this way. People do not even want to talk face to face these days or even on the phone. All they want to do is text. Cell phones are a double edged knife. It's a tool (which is a good thing to an extent), but it has ruined humanity with all the social media.
Totally agree with your comment,
Like many of the other commenters, I graduated HS in 1977, so this was a real blast from the past! I wish the film quality were better so I could see more of what the kids were wearing in the hallway shots. I wore those high-waisted flared pants as well as the bib pants seen in the video. The way the guys were wearing their hair is just as I remember. Interesting that they had coed gym; at my school the girls and boys were separated save for a couple of weeks each year when we'd do ballroom dancing. That parking lot must've been a terror to navigate! I noticed the cars parked haphazardly, and the one dude pulled out into the street without even looking. I was lucky to have the use of my sister's VW Beetle my junior and senior year. Every once in a while my mom would let me drive her 1966 Lincoln Continental to school. That car was a magnificent beast -- I gave ALL my friends a ride home on those days!

@Sarah Renz Yes - I graduated in 1977 too ! And the P.E. class was segregated also - except for the square dancing a couple weeks a year. All the students had to have
specific clothes for gym class - every thing had the school logo on it. The most noticeable thing at this high school (as with mine) there were no black kids.
I remember we had one Mexican kid - no Asians or black kids. There was a hang-out across the street where kids could go to get a hamburger and fries for
lunch (and the "cool" kids could smoke cigarettes) and also buy candy and bubble gum. Once in awhile a fist fight - but mostly a good time.
It was just like this for meeeee ! Thanks for sharing.
