Montebello High School 1959-1960 Part I of 2

[@davidmachado432]

I David Machado graduated Montebello in 1958 I think. haha Now I am 83 and your outstanding movie captured that time very well. My sister Naomi graduated three years behind me. I was in love with one of the cheer leaders named Virginia States. I had her in my US History class with Ms Allen. I stared at her for a whole term because I was too shy to do talk to talk to her. In my Year Book she wrote "you are the strangest person I ever met". Maybe if she sees this she will remember.

[@rw717]

David I bet it was some Great memories from those years…

[@dibmn]

What great memories !! You did a great job matching the music to the film also ! I graduated from Montebello in 1960 - went to Montebello Jr high and Washington Elementary !I recognized some of the girls - Kathy Kersh !! Wow! She was so pretty ! She went on to marry Vince Edwards (Ben Casey) and Robin ( Burt Ward ) and I saw her as Miss Beverly Hills on The Beverly Hillbillies ! Thanks for the memories !

[@paulo0651]

I looked for them on Internet, they're actors, wow.

[@Merc-v4h]

I’m attending Montebello High school as of now. I went to Washington Elementary as well. Man, the memories I had at that school.

@ipastelezi 🤣🤣🤣

[@vdc4431]

My parents graduated high school in the '60's and I've been fascinated with the time period since I first flipped through their yearbooks. I'm glad to have graduated HS in the early '90's, but have always loved their pictures and stories.

[@hueyjmedina]

MHS class of 91 representing...This video is cool. Love the fashion back then, I too bet it was a fun era. My mom was class of 68, uncle class of 69 and my other uncle class of 73. Thanks for taking us back. The school has changed a lot, even from the time I went.

[@karennorton6466]

Thank you so much for posting this. My mother was a senior at MHS when this movie was made. She passed away almost 5 years ago (Nedra Barnum). My sister and I think we may have seen her at 0:22 and 1:02 (doing kicks with some friends). We aren't sure that it is her, but it brings us both a lot of delight to think that it might have been.

[@MrGGPRI]

As a member of the MHS class of 1959, I remember your mother Nedra as a pretty and elegant classmate, regretting that I did not get to know her better (class of 1960); I think she appears in the 1 minute clip of the "movie" . Nedra is also on page 153 of the 1959 Golden Key as a Pep rally member. Sad that many of my classmates have now passed before their time but really, who is to say. MHS was a great place to be in the 1950’s and the teachers were the greatest and the basic education at MHS later helped me later develop an electronics business that lasted for almost 40 years.

[@superbu1]

Quite the contrary, Rich -- not boring at all. We see movies from 1959 all the time, but it's interesting to see real people in their real clothes just being themselves. Thanks for posting this.

[@angeljimenez-hc4eu]

Damnn. To think i go to school here. Thats how it looked like back then! Looks nothing like it does today! MHS class of 2017

[@bruinjer]

This is an amazing film... I lived and worked in the area for most of my life and it is interesting to see how the school has changed. PLEASE post more (if you have 'em)!

[@TheOwlsWaiting]

This is beautiful. I wish I lived in those years.

[@nvtxnn]

I still go here

[@WildeG2020]

This is gold....thank you for sharing. :)

[@briannaromero7095]

Wow.. class of 2021 here and it’s crazy to see MHS like that

[@mrfreak45]

im actually attending this school its awesome

[@jpdavis6042]

MHS 63' Class ... MHS inner Quad had it's unique charm as does the Art Deco entrance. Nice that MHS was tucked into a residential neighborhood.

[@bhz]

Originally Named Newmark in 1899, the town was renamed Montebello or Beautiful Hills in Italian at the urging of William Mulholland in 1900.

[@nvtxnn]

Really?

[@paulthompson9668]

0:26 Can you imagine that girl is probably 80 years old now?

[@Sheliteful]

Cool video, my Mom graduated in 1958 from Montebello High ......I was born the same year, oops....She and her old school buddies will get a kick out of this... would love to see more like this!!

[@loweyesah]

Thank you so much for posting this. I am a graduate of MHS class of 1987. Frank Loaiza

[@HardstylePiiKACHU]

OMG!!!!.... This is my school ! I didnt imagine it to be like this back then

[@DennisJohnsonDrummer]

Such a simple time.

[@djghorizon]

Wow I just had to post this video to all my high school friends..... Class of 93

[@AneyLeos2007]

omg ths almost made me cry. i went to montebello for 1 yr, and i wish i would have NEVER left there. i see the campus was so beautiful back then and it is still till this day. i miss u montebello

[@nvtxnn]

The school fell off

[@JerryCalvert-x9u]

Looks like heaven on earth to me. WoW

[@blackkeno]

Great video. Did anyone who attended the school back then know Kathy Kersh? I always wondered what she was like.

[@t-bo-lesotho]

This was the school year Grease was based on.

[@Albanwinter]

Wow, this is back when my uncle went to school there! Nice to see a piece of history. :D

[@jacksback13]

its nice to see REAL film on youtube! nice work :)

[@LSDMTHC]

i go to this school now i wish every one was friends

[@kevinmichael2538]

cool these rare images

[@paulo0651]

Amazing

[@MARiiEandJiiMMY1408]

I use to go to Montebello high back in 08-10 thats were i met my love3 1/4/08..

[@CrazyboyLA]

i see that montebello high has change over the years with a fresh coat of paint and some modernizatiion. CLASS OF 1999 RIGHT HERE BABY

[@andrewr62]

Although Montebello high school seems like a far cry today from the era shown in this film can you name any high school that is? This was almost a half century ago. Demographics changed, as has America in general. My family went there in the 60's and my nephew a few years back. It is not a bad school despite the negative press many of the students created for themselves a few years ago. But was that much different than the walk outs of the 1970's? The era of Ozzie and Harriet just a memory

[@nirvana1021]

Class of 2001, Great Video!

[@maryanndominguez9553]

nirvana1021 me too🤗🤗🤗

[@Mrjimpinch]

I love it I went that shcool back from 74 to 77 and to see my shcool back 59 to the 60 was great thank for it do you have one 77?

[@connerschmitz2912]

The good old days

[@jaimesandoval1988]

Wow the people on this video should be somewhere around 56 years old. I could ony imagine what they would say if they themselves would see these particular piece of 8MM film. Great memories I would assume.

[@MrMrsteve01]

People were much happier back in the day.

[@julieerin115]

They knew how to socialize back then and friendships were genuine.

[@startracker5895]

Like watching the film Grease! 🙈😂

[@MarkMiller-i8q]

Is this the Montebello High School in California?

[@nvtxnn]

Anyone from class of 1998

[@janiegolden5338]

Went there class of '64.

[@videosuperhighway7655]

Then after graduating a few year’s later BAM knee deep in the mud over in Vietnam engaging VC, getting shot at, mosquito bites, trench foot, etc..

[@Dinnerwiththeavilas]

Pretty cool video.. even though I went to El Rancho lol. The fashions was cool like the real life "Grease".

[@niewidzialnarekarynku]

i tell these kids cash cant kill but money will never haunt me

[@al_alemania]

Well Class of 2020 here

[@dimbulb1178]

1959-60 was the school year Grease was based on.

[@juliemnm8273]

[@gaboltl]

@@juliemnm8273 omg same I totally thought of Grease.

[@cornshucker9450]

JPEGmafia reference

[@n3na1124]

i love this video its so nice and the kids all look so nice and pretty also there style is amazing love it!!!! by the way what is the name of the song???

[@armandrodriguez8501]

Safe to say there were no metal detectors then. Absolutely loved the fashion styles of the girls back then!

[@JustinBE]

0:36 I'm in love

[@arbazsheikh931]

I hope she is your grandma..now

[@FUCKINGENIOUS]

Desperation

[@nvtxnn]

@@FUCKINGENIOUS where she at now

[@KingOFuh]

She became a big porn star in the late 60's, just like Rene Bond

[@JowalQPhotos]

wow thats mhs amazing

[@bhz]

That was awesome. Thanks for sharing that 8mm. Was Mr Coffman teaching there at that time?

[@williamdumas432]

Yes

[@GiuIiaPizzi]

I don't know if this account is still active but I really loved this video and would like to take pieces from it for a video project I am making. Let me know if it's not ok.

[@marissakeating9812]

This film is really great. Im researching material for a film maker in the UK - would I be able to get your details so that I can get in touch about this?

[@guezwho1]

Great video...Bentley wants me to put it inhis DVD for the reunion...may I get it from you?

[@MNavarro6]

That was a great view of the past. MHS 1980 here.

[@Unclezippy1]

I graduated Eastmont Jr. High in 1964 and Montebellon High in 1967. To look at it now...all fenced in because of stupidity!!! Gone are the good ol days and I'm glad I'm far away from it!!

[@rwundrock]

Did you shoot this yourself when you were a student? Very good camera control! Who did the transfer for you? That is also a good job. Where is this HS?

[@SatanTheSith]

damn, im a junior there and it doesn't even look the same. Only the C and S buildings, and the sign in the front.

[@pourindiesel]

Class of 95 checking in...

[@dibmn]

at 1:39 -she has a pink top on- eating something- looking at magazine ( she was probably in it !- she was in several magazines with Fabian )

[@MonsterJaay]

wow this was my school?!

[@bigwormwlos]

wow i did go to MHS but that was a cool video

[@fazehulk3997]

How life changes

[@Mmarqu21]

wheres the second part?

[@RinLen-zh7mc]

CLASS OF 2019 XD

[@mleeg45]

When high school kids looked middle aged! 🤦‍♂️

[@gaboltl]

Many teenagers nowadays look super old too with all the weight they put on due to poor diet, dudes doing steroids at a young age and girls wearing awful makeup so that they can look like the kardashians.

[@paulinegarcia888]

Beautiful video. Sad to read some of the comments. Mexicans have always served honorably and exceptionally in the military. In fact, they are the group that has received the most medals of honor. Yet one incident where the students of MHS weren't even involved in is the most memorable. Pathetic!

[@julieerin115]

They look like they're in their 30s.

[@juliemnm8273]

They do not look like they are in their 30's maybe 20's ....

[@FUCKINGENIOUS]

And?

[@muhammadnoman4364]

on

[@GalactusFan202]

Papaw is that u?

[@thekoolkid2691]

I Whent here I’m not 20

[@mhs3pointlegend]

Yes it has but its not that bad. Worse that goes on is all the drug deals. U gotta go to the L.A. schools where they have random searchings in classes. They have those for a reason. (Those are the ones you can get shot at)

[@dibmn]

no - I don't think so

[@Bill46214]

This sure is a complete opposite of the video I just saw where the Mexican flag was raised on the Montebello HS flag pole and the American flag below it upside down.

[@zxzxxzxz3303]

and now their grandchildren eating tide pods

[@dburch7894]

fuck indon Your a charmer!

[@slappy1234567]

This is a great video! Though it's impossible not to see the obvious demographic change that has occurred. There are good reasons for this, not all of them related to "open borders" either. Notice the date on the video? The birth control pill was introduced in 1960, followed by abortion being legalized in 1973. And thus began the self-genocide of a once great people...All the while to the south, Catholic Mexico grew and grew. Not really all that hard to figure out.

[@surferbri5346]

Shut up woke asshole, can't anything just be nice for the fun of it

[@krispywingz1289]

Crazy how the demographics changed.

[@FUCKINGENIOUS]

Build the wall

[@buterone]

BELL GARDENS HIGH BITCHES!!

[@bhz]

Don't be so quick to blame open borders and illegals. Look back to the start of the bilingual/multilingual era that started in the 70's. You can blame the liberal academics (most of whom were non-minorities at that time) for that. In the end assimilation into the mainstream American culture was severely discouraged.

[@markhensley8513]

Just found the 1962 yearbook.eddie olmos and his sister SOPHOMORES. paid a dollar
