70's Memories John W. North high school Class of 1974

Video collage of high school days Class of 1974 John W. North High School, Riverside, CA

[@robertromero8692]

It's interesting how much these pictures are like my high school in Denver. Class of '73.

[@pegs1659]

Yeah I was thinking that my high school in Alabama in 75 could just swap yearbook pictures and no one would even notice.

[@eutimiochavez415]

It’s the time s that why !

[@justdoingitjim7095]

My graduating class was 1972, the year I went into the Marine Corps. After I got out I returned home and started looking up my old school friends. It was sad times as a lot of the kids that were popular in school were barely getting by in the real world and they had no friends. I came away realizing that their 4 years of high school was the best part of their entire life and was all they could reflect on for good memories. I was just the opposite. I was not popular in school, because I was poor and hung out with the "wrong clique." But, upon coming out of the Marine Corps I found a new confidence in myself and it attracted people. I found that I was good at almost everything I did and people admired that. I got popular AFTER I got out of school and it continued for a lot longer than 4 years! I've lived an amazing life that others only dream of!

So happy for you. A lot of people 'peak' in high school.

[@elenaarman-tang7811]

Many people spend their high school years just having fun with their friends and being popular. They don't realize that you better learn something and have goals by the end of those four years. I'm so happy the military gave you confidence and accomplishments! Thank you for your service!

[@blessedhighlyfavored701]

I didn't go to this school but the 70s where just as good as the 60s. Brings big smiles and memories to my face and mind.

[@luanloud9454]

The 70s were better because of the hippies

[@dippingcatprintstudio2415]

Came across your video while watching a North game. JDUB in the playoff against Oaks High. Great video! Thank you for sharing

[@tedquaker954]

Always enjoy these reflections of youth...... If only i knew then... LoL Thanks for the video

[@southerncross3638]

Go class of 74.👍👍 I was four hundred miles north, Capuchino High, San Bruno CA.

[@marx686]

Thanks for up Martha 👍 Greetings from Argentina.

[@eutimiochavez415]

Glad I took a lot of pictures.

[@nja3224]

My HS years were from 77 to 80. Shit school, but all of my memories are about what happened outside the classroom. It was an awesome experience.

[@waynewright2886]

Both in & Out with me on my High School Tour of Duty from 77/80 here in L.A.

[@lastdays3148]

I love the 1970s and I wished that I was in High School during the 70s instead of the 1980s. I wonder if any students from this graduating class have seen this video of their memories?

[@ryans1623]

Really i liked the 80s better, but each to their own.

[@michaelthomas366]

I was in high school back in the 70's in CA and it stunk! Ditched class whenever the surf was up and that meant a lot.

[@rociobany290]

You flow ... true to yourself 🌈

[@cartman4885]

Could be any High School in the 70's thank's for posting...................Hoover High Fresno, CA 1976............

[@kevinmichael2538]

how good it is for you to have memories of your school days and the 70's of course not all people have that and of course you are privileged to have pictures of your high school days congratulations

[@CEOkiller]

I’m digging the plaid pants!

[@gkprivate433]

I graduated East Providence RI high school 1975. Got to LA in 82 when I joined the USAF. I so miss the 70s

[@guysolis5843]

I went to a Catholic boarding school from freshman to junior year then switched to the public school to hang with my brother for my senior year. I used to hang with my aunt and uncles and their biker gang as much as possible. They found out I quit the boarding school and gave me a Sportster and the first day of class 8 hardcore bikers escorted me through student parking with everyone looking...I never had a problem with the guys or the ladies after that..Now I'm old and fat..I got a good old lady though..

[@jimmywright7850]

Graduated from Wainwright high school in 74 near Lafayette In. pretty neat times

[@teresadbrownbrown3785]

Great year

[@ninac4501]

Wow, great job posting this, really put a smile on my face with the great pics, and the music!!! I graduated from Granada Hills High in 1975. Norman Mathers was the Principal. He was the real life father of Jerry Mathers, (The Beaver...from "Leave it to Beaver"). He brought Larry Fine, (one of the 3 Stooges), to give an inspiring talk to our Senior class, then later on he arranged for Yvonne De Carlo, (Lily from "The Munster's") to speak to our senior class, as well! Is that you pictured from 1:20-1:22 with keys to your new blue Datsun truck? My first car was a 1975 Red Datsun truck (with shiny diamond tape on the hood, and sides) that I bought new, Sept. 17, 1975... still have the original loan paperwork, my boss co-signed for me. Paid $3700 out the door for it, and I still have pics of that truck as well. I pulled it on the front lawn, and took pics of it brand new, and drove it like crazy, with my new found driving freedom!! I really admire your creativity in putting this together! Thank you, again!

[@kellyevans9801]

Wow this is awesome I can't wait till its time for my reunion!! I miss this school! #classof2013!!

[@831BeachBum]

I went to Arcadia High about 50 miles west of Riverside. Graduated in 1975. Great school. Played sports. Good times back then.

[@nwpia]

I remember those days. When real men would put one leg on top of anything they could find and found it gratifying.

[@eutimiochavez415]

Great time s ,I remember never see them again to bad ,the way the world is now glad I was there !

[@teresadbrownbrown3785]

Me too great

[@jackilynpyzocha662]

Great music!

[@sheddski2942]

I’m one of the Flunkies of1973 school and I didn’t get along sinse first grade after staying back twice and my class graduating in 1973 and wouldn’t be graduating myself untill 1975 or later so I left and went to work full time at 17 in electronics clean work advancement but the gas crisis of 1975 and layoff bumbed around while the rest were in college it was a great time 1970s

[@robertromero8692]

Your spelling and punctuation really show that you didn't graduate high school.

[@neva6946]

Just for one day!

[@highontaiwan]

I don't know who these people are and I have no idea why youtube suggested this video to me, but I love the song.

[@brianarbenz7206]

Ok, now lets see crosstown rival John South😉. .... Seriously, this was fun and very much like the high school I attended at that time in Indiana. My sister was class of '74. I was two years later. In the '80s, btw, I applied for a job in Riverside, Ca. I liked the city very much, but I did get the job. But you didn't need another transplant with a car.

[@angelseliteautodetailing]

Class of 2009 and that W Letterman jacket ain't change. Much respect y'all!!!

[@VinceSherrill]

Nice job Martha!

[@actingup54]

Thanks, Vince. Will you be at the reunion?

[@VinceSherrill]

Martha Jo Walton No, but I will be there in school spirit.

[@oeff7744]

Funny I was at North in 1985, still looked new then same ol brick these people are pictured in front of. Hope they are all doing well now

[@matrox]

The beginning of effing Disco!!

[@80steen44]

yeah great music.

[@mikegreen6774]

It is better than the crap rap era.

[@pani40]

It beats the hell out of that rap garbage 🗑🤧

[@luanloud9454]

80s was the era of disco, 70s were hippies era

Good job, John W. North '74 ... from your friends at Cincinnati Elder High 1972 - www.ELDERHIGH1972.com We'd be honored to have you visit us!

[@sandrocavalcante9876]

Sensacional!

[@michaeldavis5775]

How many of you all also got your draft notice right around graduation time?

[@cyclenut]

Notice how thin they were. I was in 6th grade. In high school (78-81) Franklin, NC, all the teacher were thin, only one girl, out of 240, was overweight. Times have changed, way too much.

[@cyclenut]

@PK Yeah, and today many more guys are losers, boy versions of the girls. I live around Chattanooga and there are very few, from either sex, that are not fat. It is work, but I TRY to keep thin. I wish time machines were real. I would go back to the 70s or 80s.

[@xsitied2708]

i would like to disappear from the 2020s and grow up in the LATE 60s to be a 70s teen and just view the good times of the world eddies all the racism which there wasn’t really a way to show it instead of just verbally and harassment but on the media there are bad videos of stuff it’s sick

[@spidvod4728]

It was great

[@billjones6987]

It was great. Went to Height Ashbury in 67 when I was 17. I went back again a few months later. Wow.

The 70s was the beginning of the huge decline in America leading to the sh!thole we have now called America. The 50s, and early to mid 60s compared to the 70s were like night and day.

[@matrox]

@PK Yeh...the late 60s, was going t warp speed by the 70s. Its a total sh!thole now.
