Very cool and a little creepy. Everything still looks exactly the same.

Yikes my Mom went to that High School--graduated 1946...I would have gone there but moved to Chicago and graduated there, 1972. Cool times, music, experience, people. Viet Nam and Draft still hung over some of us boys.

I graduated from a Northeast suburban h.s. like this one, in 1972. The draft still hung over the 18 year old guys, and if you were not in college and got a low number, the war in Vietnam was still raging. Could be why the guys in this vid look a little angsty.

It's interesting how people didn't have backpacks, something that's so ubiquitous at every high school nowadays

[@ClueSign]

Yep we carried books loose and the girls carried purses.

Hi everyone

[@user-eb2bh6ze3n]

This was not my crowd!!

[@lovelock444]

what was ur crowd

[@hamiltonburger4574]

Yea, I was thinking the same thing. I grew up in Southern California (class of 73) and it was skateboards, surfing, and music basically. But one thing that really sticks out in my mind was that the "chicks" (about 90%) all had the identical bodies and hair. They looked like Ali Mac Graw back then. Which of course I really liked!

Joe Slonaker? Yes

The smoking corner! I'm class of '80 but had a sister from class of '71 and one from '73. I see a girl that resembles Tish Sperry but can't put a name to most of these folks.
