Love this! I graduated from High School in Connecticut in '76. We called ourselves the "Bicentennial Class". Fewer and fewer people come to the 5 year reunions as many are aging out. I turn 66 years old in December 2024. Life goes on....
That's my class too..I can't believe we're 62 already..We have a great class & get together every 5 years! We all like each other..& the jocks still sit together at the reunions!! So proud to have graduated in 1976!!
The syncope symphone, oh how you have screamed for so long with none to hear your voice. Oh how those who have stumbled upon you heard your cries to be remembered, your cries of nostalgia and days long passed from memories suffer under your burdernsome affect of the mind and senses. You show no malice, no hate, no malignancy. You are but a forgotten wound in the worlds memory, your echoes heard by some, but not enough. We hear the symphony and we feel its effects, the mightiest of cognitohazards and the most absurd of consequences. We are sorry we forgot. We will not do so again. We will not fade, we will not forget you, we will be syncope.
What a wonderful song. The melody brings back all the good days with the symphony. They never forgot us, we were always in their memory. The whole North Hillcrest, they remember us, if you just listen to the tune. We've had a great year, haven't we? Too bad, all it took was going to school on the wrong day...
Brings back the good memories. Like the time we went to the lake in the fall of 75. Or our quick adventures in the marching band. Still have a Polaroid photograph from that year. Get nostalgic just touching it. While it might not have been the year we were expecting, we've had a great year, haven't we? Don't worry about waiting for the reunion, I'm sure we'll see each other soon enough. Lots of love, from all of your best friends.
I love the tribute, but always wonder what it feels like not to have a diverse town, schools, or friends. I am so lucky to have lived in neighborhoods and attended school with all types of cultures. Paseo High School 1976, home of the Pirates in Kansas City MO is my claim to fame though our old building isn't there anymore. At some point they lost their accreditation and returned soon as the Paseo Academy of Fine and Performing Arts. Annnnd... they changed our school colors.... WTF! THAT IS WHEN IT BECAME CLEAR TO ME THAT, THAT PLACE IS NOT MY ALMA MATER! We are in the wilderness #Pirates with no place to call home or our own! @1976PaseoHighSchool Graduation! All hail and show ya love for the RED, BACK, AND GOLD.... AAAARRG!
Back then Avon was a small farming community. Much larger and diverse now than it was in the 70’s. There was diversity in the school, but just not in our particular class. I went to college in Indianapolis with a very diverse and friendly crowd. Last year at our Avon alumni banquet we honored our alum of the year, a great man of color from the class of 1970. Sorry they changed your school. That sucks. Avon is not a small town anymore. My wife can’t believe how close my classmates all are. I say it’s because we grew up in a place that doesn’t exist anymore except in our collective memory. Thank you for commenting.
I'm from the Appalachians of Kentucky, not Indiana, but your tribute song (and video) is superb!! Back then we never even imagined school as dangerous, or thought they'd ever stop making authentic, home-cooked lunches from scratch. We lucked-out by going to school in its golden age!
As a performing musician, class of 1975- Lincoln High Links Nebraska, I not only commend your talent, but your exceptional creative abilities as well. And at the top, your beautiful heart. Wonderfully done.
TORONTO ( OHIO ) HIGH SCHOOL CLASS Of 1974 HERE!! ❤️ Love ❤️ the #ORIGINAL PERFORMANCE: º º TO THE ALL OF US ( CLASS OF 1976 ) º º!!! We WISH We can BORROW You for Our 50th CLASS REUNION!!
Loved this! I graduated in 76 too! Just about 300 miles away, as the crow flies, in southern Ontario Canada. So funny! Those photos could easily be from East Elgin High! Peace
RHoffman thank you for doing the video. I was apart of the class of 76. it was fun to see some of the people I went to school with and how life has turn out for them
You tell a wonderful story with great music and video. You make me wish i was one of your classmates. I graduated in the late 70's from up state NY it is amazing how many things are similar. great job.
Very beautiul song and video. I came across your video and brought lots of old memories from my high school years Like the old Beach Boys song, "Be true to your school".
What a beautiful tribute! Some how I feel like I was apart of 1976 even though I was born 30 years later. This song made me realize that we are all one family, each of our successes, each of our journeys, we all come from the same place, from this "1976". Thank you, Love Betty
Thank you Roger, that was amazing. It touched my heart and brought vivid memories I was so glad to revisit. You have a wonderful talent. I was one of the wanderers and have lost touch with everyone in pursuit of life. But I have always been proud of being a part of Avon ‘76. I wish I had been a better classmate. I just had other preoccupations. I’d love a “do over”! Thank you again for sharing. Warm regards, Roy.
ALL OF US (The Class of 1976) It's been 40 years now since we all learned the dance and filed into the west gym to Pomp & Circumstance Most of us couldn't wait to leave, to move on to bigger things We've never been ones to be afraid to see what the future brings Ron carried on the family trade and has for all his life Andy simply couldn't wait to make Cheryl his wife Jim & Debi wed, Jerry and Darcie too, and Sharon Esamann While Ritty and Kip and Dave Weir agreed, a younger woman was for them. Julie Irvin married her best friend and moved away. Vicki Hill had a little boy who carried on his daddy's name. Magee and Elick wore Navy blue, but they're still black and gold through and through and so are Patty, Janice, Chris and Trish who led the cheers for our old school Gilmour took his art out west, Gary Brown's our resident rocket scientist For the life of me I can't think of anything else that sounds so cool Some of us would go straight to work, some to school and some to serve Some of us would do just fine until life threw us a curve Some of us would rise above and some would learn to take our licks But ALL of us are a part of the class of 1976 One Kevin is a surgeon now and the other one is the guy all us other guys wanted to be One Mark is an executive and another shares God's Word teaching people how they can be free Darla is an OR Nurse I hope I never have to see at work But if I do I know that I'll be glad that she is there Mark Searles beat the cancer cells and Bob Copeland can still run like hell and they are all a part of all the memories we share And would you please thank our Louise who holds us all so dear If not for all of her hard work, we would not be here And in these troubled times when good things never seem to last Gary Thompson's been my best friend since Mrs. Wilson's first grade class Some of us would go straight to work, some to school and some to serve Some of us would do just fine until life threw us a curve Some of us would rise above and some would learn to take our licks But ALL of us are a part of the class of 1976 My young days were filled with play, family and friends galore Sunday morning Bible class with Brinkman, Younce and Bourne And now that it's been forty years I guess I just wanted to say... That I am thankful I knew you all way back then… and for who you are today... Now Steve Byrd rocks the bass guitar and Bill Pursel can build you one hot car Mike Kelly will listen to you for a while and Gloria can help you maintain that smile Sittin' in Humanities, back in the day, cutting' up with Lander, Laws, Giguere and May Dave Sheets was my old neighbor pal and Susie Fuller's still one terrific gal Joe Green makes his living on 18 wheels, drivin' cross the country, man-oh what a deal Rick Richmond will get that contract signed and Joe Pell can add it all up on the bottom line Back in Jr High, Tim Bettis & me, watching Sammy Terry who was so scary. Daryl Palmer is retired now from the state and Vaughn and Humbert can sure still play…. Cathy Cooper, Mike Naylor, Chris Hermiz, Brenda Reed… Suzie Biddle, Mike Poynter, Brad Totten, Ginger Pleak… Kim Kiser, Cathy Cook, Julie Wood, Rita Vargo… Mike Fulcher, Judy Brooks, Keith Woods, JoDell Jarboe… Carolyn Cox, Lynda Canatsey, Jo Donna Hawkins, Connie Pinkerton, Dan Richardson and Marc McClanahan… Remember Jan & Jill?... Laurel & Marsha? When we first met 'em we couldn't tell 'em apart Larry and Marvin, managing the team and Cindy Vetters was the smartest girl I'd ever seen. Kelly Bradley, Kim Martin, Chris King, Jim Venable… Darlene Denny, Cinda Barnes, Tina Stassin, John Cole… Tom Coomes, Richard Starrett, Wayne Justice, Dee Ann Burkhart…Greg Walker, Debbie Pounds, Sandy Wilson, Carol Richhart… Bob Vondersaar, Jim Breidenstein, Dan Sellmeyer, Tim McAninch, Jim Clemons, Cindy Roseboom, Andrea Zink Now Cid built herself a new house on the beach way down south where the Indiana winters can't reach Neeley, Bennett and Lore work in insurance and healthcare while Rhonda's whole career has been up in the air Wish I was sittin' at the fountain at the C&E, asking Gayle to make a cherry-lemon Coke for me Catch a Rondinella/Wheeler summer baseball game and somehow Bev and Joetta both still look the same Bob Shonk, Amy Wright, Mark Whitis, Brian White, Cindy Farr, Cliff Harp, Rodney Poole, Brian Sparks……..Beth Sumners, Amy Morphew, Garry Jones, Roxy Haggard… Wayne Spencer, Kim Worden, Sharon Doane, Kathy Foster Allen Pruett, Karen Lathem, Dave Sherman, Darla Nelson … Gary Grider, Darrell Pritchett, Brenda Byes and David Wilson … Darrell McDonald, Terry Lefevers, Bob McDaniel and Bob Henderson - I think of every one of you now and then. So here's to the school that made us… on which all our hopes were hung To the pizzaburgers and milk breaks that kept us strong when we were young To building the float at Cindy Cole's and Annette's Homecoming kiss... They were all now memories… by 1976 I've heard people say they wouldn't change a thing but speaking just for me... There's so much I'd do different, given the opportunity I wish all of us could have been there, ready for a fight to protect the life of our sweet Jayne and the kids with her that night I'd been a better friend to Richard, and kept Bill out of that car Told Wayne Emberson to slow down, and to take care of his heart. I'd have prayed harder for Toni and for a cure for her disease For Cindy Rover, Rusty, Joyce and Eddie, Donnie Barnes, Brian Smith and Ora Reeves Oh the loss of Mike, Sheryl and Joanna hit us all like a ton of bricks... They are all now angels from… the class of '76 Some of us would go straight to work, some to school and some to serve Now some of us know we've been blessed in life far much more than we deserve Some of us carry brokenness that only God can fix. But all of us stood up as one… in 1976 Has it really been 40 years now since we all left the dance? and filed out of the west gym to Pomp and Circumstance Well it may be proof that ol' Father Time is still up to his old tricks... But I am of the mind we've all aged like a fine wine... Vintage 1976
As someone whos set to graduate 50 years after yall did, I'm just sitting here wondering why this was in my comment section 💀. Sick song though man, fucked with my head a little bit. 👍
On the back page of one of my year books it name's those who lost their lives that year & it say's Heaven Is Where You Never Have To Say Goodbye... Others became famous and died early, others are on the list of victims of Serial Killer's & others show up on the list's of the missing.. The others left the United States and haven't come back. There is no one on the reunion list.
High school was a difficult time for me I was a foot shorter than the girls 40 lbs 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 overtime went blind
Love this! I graduated from High School in Connecticut in '76. We called ourselves the "Bicentennial Class". Fewer and fewer people come to the 5 year reunions as many are aging out. I turn 66 years old in December 2024. Life goes on....
Yep, we were Bicentennial grads!
We've had a great year, haven't we?
I graduated from high school in 1976. I have great memories of the 1970's. It was a great time to grow up.
So good. I was a a sophomore so I'm class of 78. I remember this time well. Take care.
We’ve had a great year, haven’t we? Don’t worry, we’ll see each other soon enough…
That's my class too..I can't believe we're 62 already..We have a great class & get together every 5 years! We all like each other..& the jocks still sit together at the reunions!! So proud to have graduated in 1976!!
I had big hair the year I graduated. Would spend two hours in bathroom but that’s what we did back in late 80’s and early 90’s. Graduated in 1992.
Amazing! I found this while looking for my sister's yearbook. Class of 76. She died of cancer at age 61
I’m so sorry to hear that.
I don't know any of these people but that was brilliant!
The syncope symphone, oh how you have screamed for so long with none to hear your voice. Oh how those who have stumbled upon you heard your cries to be remembered, your cries of nostalgia and days long passed from memories suffer under your burdernsome affect of the mind and senses. You show no malice, no hate, no malignancy. You are but a forgotten wound in the worlds memory, your echoes heard by some, but not enough. We hear the symphony and we feel its effects, the mightiest of cognitohazards and the most absurd of consequences. We are sorry we forgot. We will not do so again.
We will not fade, we will not forget you, we will be syncope.
Times were much better back then!😊
May the all Rest In Peace🙏📿🙏
Class of 76, Oakland Park, Florida...America was so different!
Great Tribute, I am a 1976er too different alma mater 😀Coral Shores High School , Tavernier- Florida Keys
God bless you. That was beautiful. 😢
I graduated in 1976 my maiden was karla Cornwell but my married name is karla Corwin
This vid should have 10 million views, because it is so great! Greetings from Sebastian. Born in 75' (not in in America, but in Poland) 😊
What a wonderful song. The melody brings back all the good days with the symphony. They never forgot us, we were always in their memory. The whole North Hillcrest, they remember us, if you just listen to the tune. We've had a great year, haven't we? Too bad, all it took was going to school on the wrong day...
Theres always next there though, isnt there?
THAT was an Outstanding Tribute to your classmates.
Brings back the good memories. Like the time we went to the lake in the fall of 75. Or our quick adventures in the marching band. Still have a Polaroid photograph from that year. Get nostalgic just touching it. While it might not have been the year we were expecting, we've had a great year, haven't we? Don't worry about waiting for the reunion, I'm sure we'll see each other soon enough. Lots of love, from all of your best friends.
You do not recognize the bodies in the water.
Class of 1976, Newburg, Missouri here. What a time it was...
Very good job! Small town USA.
That really touched me. It’s beautiful.
Excellent. I am a 1976 from Penney High East Hartford Connecticut
I love the tribute, but always wonder what it feels like not to have a diverse town, schools, or friends. I am so lucky to have lived in neighborhoods and attended school with all types of cultures. Paseo High School 1976, home of the Pirates in Kansas City MO is my claim to fame though our old building isn't there anymore.
At some point they lost their accreditation and returned soon as the Paseo Academy of Fine and Performing Arts. Annnnd... they changed our school colors.... WTF!
THAT IS WHEN IT BECAME CLEAR TO ME THAT, THAT PLACE IS NOT MY ALMA MATER!
We are in the wilderness #Pirates with no place to call home or our own! @1976PaseoHighSchool Graduation!
All hail and show ya love for the RED, BACK, AND GOLD.... AAAARRG!

A wonderful video and great story too. A++ Too.
I'm from the Appalachians of Kentucky, not Indiana, but your tribute song (and video) is superb!! Back then we never even imagined school as dangerous, or thought they'd ever stop making authentic, home-cooked lunches from scratch. We lucked-out by going to school in its golden age!

You did a great job I am from Piqua Ohio class of 1976.. You can tell your heart was in this song your classmates a very blessed. God bless all

Great song!!!
That was beautiful. Im not from your class but what a tribute. Awesome!
Beautiful..sir.im clas 1980.i 😢
Very nice. I’m a class of ‘76 member from New Albany, Ind., about 130 miles south of you. This musical look back felt familiar to me.
Jones Valley high school in Bham. Class of 1975 Mt.St.Helens.Look like people I grew up with.
Jeff & Mike...

"Way back in the day"

Love these videos. Love seeing their high pictures then forty years later . I was three in 1976. Looks like great times .. thank you for this video
Excellent job!
I left in the 9th grade at Samoset. I ended up graduating at a small high school in FLA. Never forgot Sachem or the faces. Miss you all.
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
Very impressive Roger!

Thank you for sharing..I'm happy that I stumbled across this video..isn't it great to have such great friends and memories
Loved this! I graduated in 76 too! Just about 300 miles away, as the crow flies, in southern Ontario Canada. So funny! Those photos could easily be from East Elgin High!
Peace
I don’t know any of the people, but I know all these people.
Great job, I am also of the Rio Linda Knights class of 1976! Brings back memories.
Great tribute to your old school
I'm Coffee High School Class of 1976 in Douglas, Georgia. ❤ your song and the memories. Many pictures look so similar to my classmates. Great tribute!
what a wonderful tribute too your friends and classmates. darn onions.
It would have been great to have a small class like yours. We had 300+in my class. Class of 77 from Northglenn High, Northglenn CO
Yes. My wife graduated from Anderson, Indiana with 600 people in her class in 1978. She agrees.
I was just taken down the road of the 70s
That's such a beautiful commemoration to your class, Roger! Your songwriting was outstanding!
RHoffman thank you for doing the video. I was apart of the class of 76. it was fun to see some of the people I went to school with and how life has turn out for them
Amazing song!
I don't know any of these people, but they looked like they were right out of my 1977 Northland HS (Columbus, Ohio) yearbook.
God bless you Hoffman, for the love you have for your classmates. I pray you long life.
75 years old . why am i crying
You tell a wonderful story with great music and video. You make me wish i was one of your classmates. I graduated in the late 70's from up state NY it is amazing how many things are similar. great job.
Very nice! Watching from Europe ❤
Class of 74 i rember them from school. Nice video
I didn't graduate back then in 76 but my husband had. This is a sweet video of times gone by. Thanks for sharing
Very beautiul song and video. I came across your video and brought lots of old memories from my high school years
Like the old Beach Boys song, "Be true to your school".
Very well done, such a talented singer and musician. Surprised that you’re not topping the charts
Wonderfully done!
I miss Monterey Bay academy
Class of 1976... Pacific Grove High School, Pacific Grove, California. Go Breakers (the red and gold).
What a beautiful tribute! Some how I feel like I was apart of 1976 even though I was born 30 years later. This song made me realize that we are all one family, each of our successes, each of our journeys, we all come from the same place, from this "1976".
Thank you,
Love Betty
beautiful
Thank you Roger, that was amazing. It touched my heart and brought vivid memories I was so glad to revisit. You have a wonderful talent. I was one of the wanderers and have lost touch with everyone in pursuit of life. But I have always been proud of being a part of Avon ‘76. I wish I had been a better classmate. I just had other preoccupations. I’d love a “do over”! Thank you again for sharing. Warm regards, Roy.
Thanks and great to hear from you Roy!
Wow this is beautiful man. Good job
Thank you.
This is adorable!
1976 Graduate - Harrison High School, Colorado Springs, CO
Why am I crying?
Great tribute to your class to recognize everyone.
Awesome 👏
Awesome job, Roger!
I went to school with them people junior high high school my name is Vickie white now is Hoffman
Class 1975 Haworth High School Kokomo Indiana go huskies ( blue and gold )
ALL OF US
(The Class of 1976)
It's been 40 years now since we all learned the dance
and filed into the west gym to Pomp & Circumstance
Most of us couldn't wait to leave, to move on to bigger things
We've never been ones to be afraid to see what the future brings
Ron carried on the family trade and has for all his life
Andy simply couldn't wait to make Cheryl his wife
Jim & Debi wed, Jerry and Darcie too, and Sharon Esamann
While Ritty and Kip and Dave Weir agreed, a younger woman was for them.
Julie Irvin married her best friend and moved away.
Vicki Hill had a little boy who carried on his daddy's name.
Magee and Elick wore Navy blue, but they're still black and gold through and through
and so are Patty, Janice, Chris and Trish who led the cheers for our old school
Gilmour took his art out west, Gary Brown's our resident rocket scientist
For the life of me I can't think of anything else that sounds so cool
Some of us would go straight to work, some to school and some to serve
Some of us would do just fine until life threw us a curve
Some of us would rise above and some would learn to take our licks
But ALL of us are a part of the class of 1976
One Kevin is a surgeon now and the other one is the guy
all us other guys wanted to be
One Mark is an executive and another shares God's Word
teaching people how they can be free
Darla is an OR Nurse I hope I never have to see at work
But if I do I know that I'll be glad that she is there
Mark Searles beat the cancer cells and Bob Copeland can still run like hell
and they are all a part of all the memories we share
And would you please thank our Louise who holds us all so dear
If not for all of her hard work, we would not be here
And in these troubled times when good things never seem to last
Gary Thompson's been my best friend since Mrs. Wilson's first grade class
Some of us would go straight to work, some to school and some to serve
Some of us would do just fine until life threw us a curve
Some of us would rise above and some would learn to take our licks
But ALL of us are a part of the class of 1976
My young days were filled with play, family and friends galore
Sunday morning Bible class with Brinkman, Younce and Bourne
And now that it's been forty years I guess I just wanted to say...
That I am thankful I knew you all way back then… and for who you are today...
Now Steve Byrd rocks the bass guitar and Bill Pursel can build you one hot car
Mike Kelly will listen to you for a while and Gloria can help you maintain that smile
Sittin' in Humanities, back in the day, cutting' up with Lander, Laws, Giguere and May
Dave Sheets was my old neighbor pal and Susie Fuller's still one terrific gal
Joe Green makes his living on 18 wheels, drivin' cross the country, man-oh what a deal
Rick Richmond will get that contract signed and Joe Pell can add it all up on the bottom line
Back in Jr High, Tim Bettis & me, watching Sammy Terry who was so scary.
Daryl Palmer is retired now from the state and Vaughn and Humbert can sure still play….
Cathy Cooper, Mike Naylor, Chris Hermiz, Brenda Reed… Suzie Biddle, Mike Poynter, Brad Totten, Ginger Pleak…
Kim Kiser, Cathy Cook, Julie Wood, Rita Vargo… Mike Fulcher, Judy Brooks, Keith Woods, JoDell Jarboe…
Carolyn Cox, Lynda Canatsey, Jo Donna Hawkins, Connie Pinkerton, Dan Richardson and Marc McClanahan…
Remember Jan & Jill?... Laurel & Marsha?
When we first met 'em we couldn't tell 'em apart
Larry and Marvin, managing the team
and Cindy Vetters was the smartest girl I'd ever seen.
Kelly Bradley, Kim Martin, Chris King, Jim Venable… Darlene Denny, Cinda Barnes, Tina Stassin, John Cole…
Tom Coomes, Richard Starrett, Wayne Justice, Dee Ann Burkhart…Greg Walker, Debbie Pounds, Sandy Wilson, Carol Richhart…
Bob Vondersaar, Jim Breidenstein, Dan Sellmeyer, Tim McAninch, Jim Clemons, Cindy Roseboom, Andrea Zink
Now Cid built herself a new house on the beach way down south where the Indiana winters can't reach
Neeley, Bennett and Lore work in insurance and healthcare while Rhonda's whole career has been up in the air
Wish I was sittin' at the fountain at the C&E, asking Gayle to make a cherry-lemon Coke for me
Catch a Rondinella/Wheeler summer baseball game and somehow Bev and Joetta both still look the same
Bob Shonk, Amy Wright, Mark Whitis, Brian White, Cindy Farr, Cliff Harp, Rodney Poole, Brian Sparks……..Beth Sumners, Amy Morphew, Garry Jones, Roxy Haggard…
Wayne Spencer, Kim Worden, Sharon Doane, Kathy Foster
Allen Pruett, Karen Lathem, Dave Sherman, Darla Nelson … Gary Grider, Darrell Pritchett, Brenda Byes and David Wilson …
Darrell McDonald, Terry Lefevers, Bob McDaniel and Bob Henderson - I think of every one of you now and then.
So here's to the school that made us… on which all our hopes were hung
To the pizzaburgers and milk breaks that kept us strong when we were young
To building the float at Cindy Cole's and Annette's Homecoming kiss...
They were all now memories… by 1976
I've heard people say they wouldn't change a thing but speaking just for me...
There's so much I'd do different, given the opportunity
I wish all of us could have been there, ready for a fight
to protect the life of our sweet Jayne and the kids with her that night
I'd been a better friend to Richard, and kept Bill out of that car
Told Wayne Emberson to slow down, and to take care of his heart.
I'd have prayed harder for Toni and for a cure for her disease
For Cindy Rover, Rusty, Joyce and Eddie, Donnie Barnes, Brian Smith and Ora Reeves
Oh the loss of Mike, Sheryl and Joanna hit us all like a ton of bricks...
They are all now angels from… the class of '76
Some of us would go straight to work, some to school and some to serve
Now some of us know we've been blessed in life far much more than we deserve
Some of us carry brokenness that only God can fix.
But all of us stood up as one… in 1976
Has it really been 40 years now since we all left the dance?
and filed out of the west gym to Pomp and Circumstance
Well it may be proof that ol' Father Time is still up to his old tricks...
But I am of the mind we've all aged like a fine wine...
Vintage 1976
RHoffman1958 was it ever boring in 1976?
Absolutely beautiful !!💖💖
What a fabulous song. You make me wish this was my class!
Check out the song "Class of '57" by The Statler Brothers!
pretty good. pretty neat.
I wasn't in the class but that was well done. Great music.
i graduated monterey bay academy in 1976 my maiden was karla cornwell and know my marrirred name is karla roxeanne corwin
Nice tribute!
Corny boomer nostalgia.
Will you ever get over how special each and every boomer is?
Then don't watch it moron!!
Fantastic tribute!
❤ my Bubby Jerry Magee
I know this was 5 years ago but were there any African Americans who graduated in 76 because I'm one of them no pun intended
Teenagers look so much older back than
Nice job putting that all together. I'm sorry, I didn't catch the name of the high school?
Avon (Avon, Indiana)
This is not the walnut hills high school I went to
♥️✌🏼!
ARMY days
As someone whos set to graduate 50 years after yall did, I'm just sitting here wondering why this was in my comment section 💀. Sick song though man, fucked with my head a little bit. 👍
Great video. Too bad you didn’t show all of us. Why not? Thought this was the class of 76. Toni Pinzone
????? It was all of us. At least all the ones in the yearbook.
On the back page of one of my year books it name's those who lost their lives that year & it say's Heaven Is Where You Never Have To Say Goodbye... Others became famous and died early, others are on the list of victims of Serial Killer's & others show up on the list's of the missing.. The others left the United States and haven't come back. There is no one on the reunion list.
Please notice how thin everybody was before our food got loaded with sugar and fructose corn syrup and additives that disrupt our metabolism.
What school is this
Avon High School
Avon, Indiana
High school was a difficult time for me I was a foot shorter than the girls 40 lbs 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 overtime went blind
