Thanks for sharing. Takes me back to a simpler time in my life when I thought my friends would always be there and life was simpler.

[@jamescrabtree9240]

Are you sure this footage isn’t from the summer of ‘69 or Heaven? The principal was well liked after he said, “Everything I do, I do it for you.” That inspired the students to run to you.

[@TnseWlms]

The Canadian rock singer the high school was named after was only 17 at the time of this video.

[@danlmarlow5446]

It wasn't named after a singer. It was named after a DISD board member.

[@tritosac]

Girls seemed friendlier and more approachable back then. Curious to compare the suicide rate among teenagers compared to today. Every period of time had it's pros & cons. But I'd be willing to bet those kids were much more well adjusted, carefree and happier than their counterparts living today.

[@vincentmcgee8998]

Various government websites put teen suicide rate in 1977 at 13.3% out of every 100, 000 people. In 2020 it was 14.27% out of every 100,000.

[@katrinamack444]

idk man suicide has always been here it’s just that there’s much more people on earth than there ever has been before

[@rascal211]

Everyone has depression or some form of mental illness now and prescibe medicine.

I graduated in 1968 and back in those days in Fort Worth if your hair touched your collar or went over your ears you would be expelled from school. Well, that soon went away because the culture evolved in a few short years thank God.

You know I always wonder that....if anytime young people are in any of these old videos from back then if they are aware that they're on KZbin. I've never seen one comment, but there's always a chance.
