Thanks, man. We had so much fun shooting this. There's a lot of footage I didn't include in this cut. Maybe I should release a longer "Director's Cut."
carsondyle6 Hahaha. This was so awesome to watch. If you have more footage please release it. Everyone had great personalities. Such a different time back in those days. No cell phones 😁 everyone was more social.
1981... when you and your high school teacher could go outside between classes, smoke a cigarette and talk about the Remington 700 .30-06 rifle you have in your 4x4 truck outside.

*I turned 13 in 2006 so I watched one High School video shoot in that year called "Boone High School Class of 2006 Senior Video" and I felt like I was back in time while I watching it. Now this video brings so many memories of a time when I wasn't even born but I feel like I lived these years. I feel myself like I was born in the wrong time, wrong year, wrong society!*

fordsrule35 yeah but housing and the cost of living as a whole was much, much cheaper in those days. A 26k salary in the early 80s meant that you were upper middle class.
Make Rome Great Again Ummm Maybe middle class. My dad's salary was around that much in the mid 80's. Oh yes it was much cheaper back in those days lol. I miss the 80's.
fordsrule35 I did some internet research and what I found out what that the average price for a home in California was something like 67k, which in todays money would be like 190k. The dude makes 26k, that would be like 74k in todays money, where a house would cost 190k in todays money... just to give a you an image of cheap the cost of living used to be. Wow. The guy had it really good, he was upper middle class but probably felt wealthy due to the immense cheap cost of living. Now consider this, the average California home today is at around 440k and average wage is like 50k. Wages have really stagnated, thanks to the decline of labor unions. Also, I share your nostalgia for the decade of the 80s. I love the music, pop culture fashion from that era. The cheap cost of living is a huge bonus too.
they had no digital escape -- it's lively due to a lack of the "just saving my personality for the internet" attitude of a checked-out social media addict
1MNUTZ it’s also sunny Surf town California these kids are most likely upper middle class at least so they seem pretty carefree. That school seems amazing though. The times too!
No joke I go to this high school as a sophomore and it is now called “Palos Verdes Peninsula High School” It is currently the 10th best high school in California and pretty competitive but seeing the campus now is crazy considering the fact that I walk up these stairs and around that architecture literally everyday, a lot has changed from 1981 to 2018. This is crazy.
No comments about how that's Jay Bilas?? The tall guy doing the interview played basketball at Duke and is on ESPN all the time as a basketball analyst.
i 6tir And it was used in the same context that we use it in today. Goes to show that a lot of the expressions and memes we have today are just recycled from the past.
Notice..most of these kids are easy going and sociable. Not really any obnoxiously rude loud n viloent kids w NO SOCIAL SKILLS. Intelligent humour as well.
Loved seeing this. I graduated at this school in 1978 when it was Rolling Hills HS. It was exactly like this. Miss those times. It was awesome to see the school again.
No crime at all. Rolling Hills is actually a guard gated CITY. One of the only in all of LA. Besides Hollywood Hills. Rancho Palos Verdes on the other hand is not. Regardless, I am on campus all the time and even though they are always renovating and making it more modern I feel it still has the same personna and some architecture from nearly 55 years ago. ( My dad and his three sisters graduated from this school) One sister graduated the same year this video was shot. one thing to point out though, this school is no longer called Rolling Hills high but rather Palos Verdes Peninsula High school.
This was actually very creative and humorous. I bet the students put this whole video project together. I graduated from a high school in California in 1995, myself.
nowadays, kids look so miserable and won't even look you in the eye when you are taking to them. so much low self-esteem and insecurity in today's kids.
Graduated from RHHS the class of ‘68 - Great school from the year it opened in 1964! The Turtles, Jackie DeShannon, & Hugh Masekela were a few of the stars that performed in the gym for hootenanny. I consider myself lucky to have been in the class of ‘68, the first graduating class at RHHS to attend all 4 years of high school there.
Melissa Adami That's why you must soak in a bath filled with Anti-Oxident One every single day, if you are not doing so already. Slows the aging process down a lot.

$26,000 in 1981 is $73,762.00 in today's dollar. Not too shabby...
Paul Ferguson Pretty shabby.
73k in southern California today is not good. Take out taxes and it's not much. House prices are ridiculous in this state now.

I find it interesting that this time period of high school students had the best sense of humor and sarcasm comparatively to later generations.
We were very separated into groups. You only associated within your group. We weren't accepting of others. We were.....assholes.

Spot on, PG. They had no alternate reality, therefor they made the best out of the one they were in, the *real* world.

did students have more se* in that era or do they have more se* nowadays??
