I was a freshman in 1976. Shout out to all my fellow 60 year olds, those were the days. ❤❤❤❤

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

[@lyndajay4407]

I graduated in 1976. Can't believe that was 48 years ago. Those times were the best.

[@richardleoni4770]

Class of 77... brought me right back . Thank you!

[@rivermoon6190]

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

[@LisaDawnn]

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!!

[@brianmeen2158]

The 70s and 80s were great ..watching vids like this is very nostalgic and bittersweet .. youth and energy and that innocent fun mindset . A time that will never be again. Time goes by blindingly fast

[@atatterson6992]

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.

[@firstsgt279]

@@atatterson6992 I've seen Changes in last 17yrs in Phoenix area, cant Imagine in your 44+ yrs. Arizona 100yrs ago was 90% White, nope had 90% Whites. I grew up in Midwest City, Best friends were Hispanic, Black and surprisingly Japanese. In 1978 for the 8th grade moved to the Suburbs, District had one Hispanic Kid, rest of the K-12 all White. 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. My 4 Grand Daughters are getting great education here in AZ, much better then would have where I'm from

[@atatterson6992]

@@firstsgt279 Thanks for taking the time to ade to the PHX convo:-) I loved growing up there. The biggest, most impactful thing to happen to me/us in the first 18 years of life was someone I knew once had their bicycle stolen! Such a scandal!!! I'm afraid AZ has been bleeding from paper cuts for many years, but ever since Kari Lake had the election stolen from her, coupled with Buyden "winning" 2020... AZ has some major work to do.

[@firstsgt279]

Spent a Decade in Ahwatukee/Tempe/Chandler corner while my Kids Graduated HS and went to ASU.

[@tamiwright6837]

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

[@ColleenHershon]

Class of 78, and I enjoyed watching. Simpler times, no cell phones, no school shootings.

[@TonySmith-e9g]

No school shootings? Olean High School shooting, Fullerton massacre, and Cleveland Elementary School shooting wants a word with you....

[@RockinDaBoombox]

Nice video! My mom graduated from Arroyo in 1974. Gale Mlaker and her older brother, Lynn Mlaker, graduated from Arroyo in 1970.

[@nancy9704]

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.

[@Stevie-hn7mp]

Absolutely the best videos to watch about a great time with great music. Before technology ruined things . No cell phones.

[@Luisito-id1bx]

World went to trash by mid to late 2000s with the boom of smartphones and social media.

[@charlietwo13]

This is a great memory I'm sure. I joined the Marines straight out of 10th grade in 76 and missed all of the graduation exitement but I did have a different kind of graduation you could say. The 70s was a great time for sure.

[@TimsSite]

Thanks for your service. You lived it well 🇺🇸

[@saltydog4759]

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

i was only 8 in 1976 but when i watch this old footage i never get over how thin everybody was back then!

[@NhamshahSpah-ky-id6jo]

I remember. 2nd grade. The Bicentennial.

[@brianmeen2158]

It’s one of the things that sticks out the most to me. Take the same footage at that school in 2023 and half of the students would be overweight or obese

[@leahflower9924]

I liked the way the guys looked in the 60s-80s because they looked more like rock guys or alternative or stylish dorks now guys dress in sweats hoodies whatever and play horrible rap music

[@FUCKINGENIOUS]

High fructose corn syrup was introduced to the public diet in the 80s

[@LynnM-t4c]

I too was 8 in 1976. Such beautiful and carefree days.

[@markrickerbyadventurestories]

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

I was born March 1976. I would do anything to go back and live and grow up in that time again.

[@shawnp6744]

It was fun. At 9 years old in 1976. Dazed and Confused nailed the look and feel of 1976. Man what a time.

[@tedquaker954]

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

[@gmwcfhg]

I was only 5 in 1976, so seeing this makes me nostalgic for my 70's childhood - the humorous moves of the 2 guys during the segment about 3 minutes in looked like an early version of breakdancing to me!

[@tonycollazorappo]

I'm class of 1980, and I enjoyed this blast of the past. I miss those days and wish I could go back. Kids of today will never enjoy their time in today's schools like we all did. :(

[@Junea76]

I graduated in 76. This brought back a lot of similar memories I had forgotten. Thanks so much for the fun lol! ❤

[@drawntomountains]

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 !!! You don't realize it at the time, but those teen years were very special times! When you get older, you cherish your memories, and if youre lucky to still have them, you cherish your friends more !

[@brianmeen2158]

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

[@kathleenwalters1299]

I really enjoyed watching this! I cracked up laughing a few times! Kids were way funnier than in the eighties when I was in school. Thank you so much for taking the time to share it with us! 💜

[@DavidEJacob]

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

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.

[@johnyb9884]

Class of ‘76 here. Very good video, gentlemen. I still have many friends from high school and younger. We went through Elementary, Jr High, And High School together. Whitman, Einstein, and Madison. Go Warhawks!

[@thorsden5562]

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.

[@BlueGoat682]

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

[@rickgiannini9322]

I just came across this; my mind blew up with memories of Arroyo High. I graduated from Marina H. S. in 75 I spent a lot of lunch breaks at Arroyo. I had a lot of friends who went there, we used to drag race at the end of Grant Ave.

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

[@firstsgt279]

I remember my High School was very much like "Dazed and Confused" As a freshman in the 70's I was Mitch Kramer, too young to Drive hanging out with the older Kool Kids and experiencing my first Beer and MJ that Summer

[@shawnp6744]

I was 9 years old but the Uncle was class of 76 so I got to see "stuff". Dazed and Confused nailed it down perfectly. So fun a summer from May 28th to August 23rd, 1976. Yes I remember August 23rd as I became a big brother and school started. Great times. Class of 85.

[@Geoffr524]

Was in high school in 1977, and I remember those rotary pay phones.

[@danielgeary6990]

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.

[@cherieadams77]

I agree Daniel born in 1966, the sun was yellow back then not bright white sun simulator like today. Jesus is coming soon! Romans 10:9-10 KJV That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth that Jesus is Lord and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead- Thou shalt be saved! Rapture of the Church is imminent!

It wasnt that everyone was happy. It was that we were grounded by society and by our parents. We were not fed the lies about what victims we were or how oppressed we were. We werent the center of our parents universe. We were not worshipped by our parents. We were supporting players, not rock stars. Ironically, we were prepared for the future better than todays kids who have been coddled and overchallenged at the same time. So out of balance now.
