Lowell High School 1980

[@michaelglenn367]

For people who were there...there was an absolute magic about this time 80 81 82 ...and 83. It was a time where you knew every song on the radio. When people talked about the same shows...Love Boat Dynasty Solid Gold Dallas and Fantasy Island. When people talked about the Blue Lagoon or Little Darlings or My Bodyguard. Teenagers talked about Friday the 13th ... People danced at clubs and went roller rinks where they played pop and disco. The early 80s were really like what people fantasized about the 1950s. Lavern and Shirly ruled and even short lived shows like Californis Fever were fun. KZbin makes these times real again. After 83 and into 84 ...the world was never the same. In the 70s and 80s we had wild times for sure...but somehow the fun disapeared and was replaced with " attitude". 1980 thru 83 was priceless.

[@mattr8251]

Yea, KZbin is a poor facsimile.. doesn't capture the collective spirit or the essence of what it felt like..but it does provide the nostalgia for the personal memories

[@tapsnjammerkid]

I was not there, I just clicked on this video out of curiosity... but what you wrote is exactly how I feel about that time of my life, even though I was just a little kid. The early 80's... they were special.

@OtakuCon Back then Christian values were accepted especially by older people. Nowadays there is a hostility towards Christian values and as a result mass confusion continues to tear apart important standards.

[@Pigeonmaster-zt5ly]

Yea. I've been a little down lately but I'll be ok, but it made me look up some of these old videos and they are so weird to watch. It almost like no matter where you grew up, it was pretty much the same. These could be my High School Videos but they're not. They are far away. It was a different time, but lately, it seems like a different planet. I feel sorry for kids today. They will only know machines and computers and not live in the now like we were able to. I wouldn't trade those days for anything. Yea-You're right-The 80's were our 1950's. We were watching American Graffiti and We all agreed that if progress had stopped there, we would have been just fine. I was all fun, all the time. I got my butt kicked once and it was still a good day. Everyone I knew was around and everyone I loved was a phone call away or closer. I try not to miss it so bad but it's hard not to.

Lowell was a great school and it was a great time to be in high school. Every time I see "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" I feel like I'm watching a documentary... Sadly not only did they turn the campus into a chiropractic college, but in the last few years they sold off all of the athletic fields and built townhomes on the land. All of the still photos used in this video are pictures from the 1980 yearbook, I know I have my copy around here somewhere.

It is just human nature, everyone is the same.

La habra High School was our cross-town rival

[@chuck6187]

It looked like a great place to go to school especially in California. Winters were rough walking to school in New York. Class of '78 for me.

Just looking at these pictures, you can tell this was a cool school. 1:57 back in the day - "Property of {insert school name here} Athletic Dept" was the 'in' thing to wear 2:11 the guy she told you not to worry about-now they have 3 grandkids 3:11 every football team photo looked like this back then

[@aranmore469]

A very cool video. I dated Gale Minehart 1962-1964. Didn't go to Lowell but was on campus many times. A very good vibe always. They closed Lowell just like they closed Sierra High where I attended for a year before going to Army and Navy Academy, Carlsbad. Fond memories....

[@robyohn5092]

I was in 5th grade from fall 1979 to late spring 1980 and it was quite different than today's society. People talked to you then. Teacherst had control of classrooms then. Gym class you had to take showers. I don't know of gym class still exists today! People did look mature then. Girls dressed very nice and skirts and dresses were worn too. I remember overalls being popular at the time.

[@winterlynn9012]

+AND PEGGY! People knew not to smoke then neither but they did and still do. Yes medicine has come further but still no cures for lots of illnesses. As for fashion sense. .meh..People either look extremely ridiculous nowadays or extremely boring. In 30 years or even less people will be laughing at the fashion of today. Guys in skinny jeans? Ew. It's already laughable. Back in 1980 people were laughing at the clothes of the 50s /60s. I was not born yet when this video was taken but a few years later but going by what people who were adults and teens back then it was a better more carefree sociable time. I remember the 90s being the same. Sure lots of bad things happened back then but post 9/11 this world has gone to shit. Theres too much technology whereas back then there was a balance. People didn't sit around on social media all day. Music and movies rarely have any originality now. I could go on but I won't. .it was just better back in the day.

I graduated in 1984, so just 4 years after these guys. My older brother graduated in 1980. My class looked very similar to this - long, feathered hair parted down the middle for most boys, although the "preppy" look of parting your hair on the side and cutting it shorter was starting to get popular. Girls with "big hair" or the same as boys, parted down the middle and feathered, but longer. The one thing that struck me watching this is the body shapes - you can't find a "fat" kid in any. picture. Even the girls softball team members had normal physiques. Compare that to today, where half the team are as big as football linebackers. Same thing with the linemen in the football picture - none fat, just bigger. It's not unusual for every high school team now to have lineman approaching 300 pounds. Everyone looked so trim and healthy - before there was a fast food restaurant on every corner and video games at home and cell phones. You had to get on your bike and ride to the mall if you wanted to play video games, and you played them standing up, and they cost money. Great time to have grown up!!

I always admired how California high schools were so laid back and all the outdoor tables and lockers and things. Where I went to high school you'd BETTER not be caught outside during the school day! That was suspension city! The hunky guy with his shirt off. That would never happen either. Fishnet was really big in those days and totally forbidden. You weren't allowed to show body hair so men's sleeves had be long enough that when you raised your arms you didn't see hair. You shaved your chest or wore a t-shirt undershirt if you had any chest hair. Sex didn't happen. Babies were born via osmosis. Whole different world in the south. Girls no bare midriffs. No push up bras. Skirt had to come to just below the knee cap. Nothing thin enough where you could see the outline of a bra. And the kicker was if you were caught out away from school not following this dress code the consequences stuck. Just like fighting. If the school heard of a fight anywhere in town over the weekend. The fighting parties were promptly suspended.
