This was my class 76 high school was fun,challenging,safe and respectful to teachers and students plus pleanty of cool cars from the 60s

This brought a tear to my eye. It was filled with some sadness but lots of joy!! Class of 77 here!! It was the best era EVER to be a teenager!! Whilst our generation was becoming liberated/modernized, we still held on to family values and traditions. What a great balancing act!! It's so sad to see what's become of this once-great nation of ours (and its people)!! I hope, no...I PRAY we fix things soon so our grandchildren can experience the HOPE and joy we all had back then!! Thanks for sharing this. Was fun to watch!!

I'm an 1980 grad. Phoenix, AZ, class of about 400. I never saw race. TV, ads, magazines... all the same to me. My class had maybe a dozen Hispanics that were all American, Zero Blacks, the other 390 milky white like me. I see race now, unfortunately. Mass immigration and acceptance and glorification of thugish behavior got us here to 2024 apocalypse.

There we had Grad Class of 130. In the City my School had 2400 in 10-12th. Back then the City had 4 HS with 9K attending, K-12 was 35000. Now there is only 9900 K-12.

I loved this it was like stepping back in time to my high school days! Class of 1977

Such a sad dichotomy that nostalgia brings joy and sadness in equal measure.

Wonderful time. Class of ‘76 here too but in the UK! Thank you for reminding us of the much happier and simpler times.

I loved those days! I can remember the feelings of that era instantly. Amazing time. I still think the guys of the '70's are the hottest!!! The funniest. The most original. The best. Best looking.

Class of 76 best time ever. ❤

Some hilarious bits here. My favorite was the two guys getting the shakes at 3:02. Thanks for the laughs.

First of all, a HUGE thank you for this video! It reminds me of being 18 as well. I see The Monkeys, The 3 Stooges, The Marx brothers all represented in your antics! The filmography is so fantastic. Again, thank you.

The curtain scenes at 2:17 had me ROFL! In fact I can barely type type this because Im laughing so hard. TOOOO funny. It reminds me of a similar situation that happened to me when I was in 9th grade. A guy in art class was sitting at the back of the room wacking off with his junk hidden under the desk. It was all fun and games until the teacher realized what was going on. Ahhhh yes good times for sure! LOL

I’m only 30, but my parents went to highschool in the 70’s and this just feels like home b

KIDS WERE HAPPY BACK THEN

What a great time to be a kid..... If only I knew then........ahhhhh

Excellent work! The locations, The Lighting, The little Themes & Skits! The Editing, & sound track. A fine Film for 1976 The critics gave you 👍👍👍👍 Out of 5 😎

I was15 that year in Tarboro, NC. I remember the crazy stuff kids tried to pull off everyday. The lunch room antics - putting small holes in someone's milk carton, stomping on ketchup and mustard packets as someone would walk by, firing off an M-80 in the bathroom...and riding the school bus was the worst! Now I'm an old man facing my 62nd year and looking forward to retirement soon! Yikes.

That was awesome! The foresight and the production was timeless…well done!

I was much younger than these kids at the time but I remember people being more whimsical and mellow ( and no, it wasn't all drugs). And the clothes! Even the light shown differently then, as strange as that sounds. High school must have been a blast back then.

I wish somebody had thought of doing this at my high school. 76-77, I was a sophomore and we had a absolute blast that year !!!

Teen years are important and if you were to interview us back then - we’d complain how boring it is and how we couldn’t wait to get out into the working world. Bass as I ally when you are going through it you don’t realize the greatness of it and the fun you are having. In high school you are with your friends all day and get to meet girls - doesn’t sound that bad lol .. but when those times are gone they are gone

My father, who was class of 76, set me this video saying how this was HS for him. Can’t understate how different our high school experiences were.

It looks like you folks lived in such a beautiful world. Not so for all. You have been blessed. Be good to one another.

Great video. Right in my wheelhouse, 1974-78. You didn't have to buy "Frampton Comes Alive." It was playing everywhere you went.

In 76 just started high school

I could have done without "Scarborough Fair." Maybe something from 1976 would be good. Other than that, I REALLY love this. I graduated in 77 and this is an accurate representation of what my high school days looked like Especially love the goofy boys throughout.
