We're all around 62 or 63 now. Seems like it was only yesterday that we graduated from High School. Young people watching this.... Life is fleeting. Make wise choices and realize your mortality. You re only on this earth for a short time. Don't waste your life, make the most of it and do what is right.

The year I was born. All those young faces. Senior citizens now. Hope they all had wonderful lives.

This is wild! A video of my dad, Len Arensburg/Mr. A., from 1973. I have not seen him in over 40 years. This brings back LOTS of memories. Thanks for uploading and sharing.

I go to this school now. Looks totally different, the high school is still there and it looks the same, but the field where everyone was sitting now contains a middle school quad and a middle school.

The strange thing about this is that I'm 18 and I feel like crying from watching this video. I don't know, just these videos make me cry

I'm now a senior in high school. This video makes me kinda sad somehow. Because of certain circumstances, I have not gotten the "classic" high school experience. No friends, no fun stuff. One day, I'm gonna be like those people in this video. Just a fleeting moment then I'm old and gone.

I turned 10 in 73. The world was so different from today. There were some bad things back then, but over all it was a better day.

Class of 1980 here, awesome video btw!!! Turned 57 today and I'm glad I grew up in the 70's!! Advice to the younger generation, put the cell phones down and enjoy your youth, time goes very fast after high school!!!

I don't want to hear the music, i want to hear them talking

They are now almost 60 years old .

One thing I really noticed is that there were a bunch of kids, making their own fun, enjoying themselves, and the joy shined through. They weren't relying on adults to supervise them or tell them what to do and not do. Those are the days I remember. As you progressed from elementary school, to jr high to sr high, you got more freedom, more responsibility, and grew up. I graduated in the late 70's but enjoyed living in those times.

I see my dad, Mr. A ❤️. Thanks to whoever filmed and uploaded it

Wow, my mother wasn’t even born she was born 3 years later. I was born in 2000.. so I grew up in a different time. These people look so free and look like they’re having fun! We couldn’t even go near the exits at school without being accused of trying to skip school. I had always wanted to go outside for lunch and eat and just lay in the sun. Everyone in this video is interacting with each other, they’re not texting, they are simply having fun! When I was a freshmen in high school, I would go to the library and in this certain section we had all the yearbooks dating back to the 1890s with news clippings of our city. I loved looking at them, I would look at yearbooks from every year and looked at every student... knowing that they were so close to my age at that moment when that picture was taken was wild to think of! They grew up in a different time, lived different lives, listened to different music. I wish I could go back in time and experience a day in the 60s or 70s. I remember at my school, during your senior they have a tradition called Class Day where all seniors get recognized for their achievements in their high school career. I remember we had been paired up with the Class of 1968 because it had been their 50 year reunion. It was like they were there to help us move forward to graduation.. it dawned on me 50 years in the future we are going to be in those chairs, reminiscing of our old good days and the music we listened to, the drama that occurred. All the people in this video have lived their lives and probably have families now.. but in this video they were full of youth and energy. Thank you for this upload :)

Everyone is having so much fun! Even the teachers seem really cool, I hope they were.

Cool video, I'm not from Irvington or from the 70s, but I love watching archive videos. Its cool to see how life was a year before my dad graduated high school, the only thing different now is the fashion (though still casual) and the fact that now everyone is on their phones :(

The '70s and '80s are utterly priceless and should be part of the social curriculum in all today schools...and that includes universities too.

Technology has separated our youth, and back in the day kids were forced to socialize face to face and it was overall better. I am devastated to grow up in a time where we stare at our phones all the time.

I graduated in '73 from a small high school in rural Pennsylvania. Watching this felt so familiar. I turned off the soundtrack because I just wanted to have the visual experience. Loved the parade of teachers exiting the school at day's end. There were quite a few young teachers, it must have been a lot of fun to attend. Incidentally, I just retired from teaching in a high school for 37 years. It's been quite a run and from attending to later teaching in a high school, it was a great experience. Are kids different today? Yes and no. They look a lot different than we did, phones are both a blessing and a curse, and parents are a hell of a lot different. But 15-18 year olds still have some of the same delusions and doubts we had in '73. In general, I'm probably happier now than I was then. Thanks so much for uploading this.

Looked like there were some cool teachers. I loved the guy who was doing air sculpture. Must have been the art teacher. He looked like a real funny guy.

I was 3 years old when these people were making this home movie of their last day of high school, now I'm almost 50!

70's girls are so pretty.

I was cynical when I started watching this, but am welling up with soft emotions now that it's over. Goodness, that was a precious time. Thanks for finding this treasure.

i love how especially the teachers act funny when theyre being filmed, wouldn't be happening now

this looks like so much fun! I would love to be in High School in the 70s. great fashionbtw

I'd love to be a teen in the 70s

Everything was different then. People interacted with each other, people were much more civilized and had more fun. Such a shame to watch things change through the years.

I was born in the 90s but I can't get enough of the 60s to the 80s. There is something so intoxicating about watching these times. It seems so surreal.

I was 13 in '73..It was glorious..I miss it terribly..

I started preschool that fall of ‘73 here in Indiana. Even though I was only four at the time, my memory of that year is still quite clear. Even with all the bad, it was an easier time. Many memories that as a kid you don’t forget. Still in Indiana, same town, but I’ll be 51 next month. Yes, time is fleeting.

I was born in 1991 I turn 30 soon and I already feel how fast time flies, another 30 years I'll be where these people are now in my 60's and I know it's coming fast.

Oh how my heart pines for the world we left behind. I was born in 1980 , most of my life was experienced through this particular perspective of the world. The innocence in these teenagers, and their confidence that a world just and righteous was waiting to accept them on their own terms was a big part of my reality as well. Where the hell did our world slip away to, and who agreed to let it go? The people I grew up with was far from perfect, we had our differences, made so many mistakes, loved each other passionately, trusted one another, respectfully supported each other’s thoughts even when we disagreed, we defended anyone who was unable to do so for themselves, if one of us needed a helping hand there was always a smiling face willing to come to our aid, sure we fought and argued as well but at the end of the day there was few grudges. We understood that part of our humanity was rooted in the necessity to humble oneself as an individual. Noone can agree with 100 percent of the people 100 percent of the of the time. Knowing now that the institutional paradigms we once held so dear are part of an agenda engineered to divide each of us has allowed mistrust and a high level negativity to effect our daily lives. It would see now more than ever that the future for our species is a bleak one and hope fades away , riding as it where a ticket out of town along the very shattered lines that continues to polarize the western society. Will we ever get back to that place called home??? Thanks for the share!!

It's so cool to see so many people interacting with each other and not one face staring blankely into a 6 in screen

Sweet to find this; I graduated from Scarsdale H.S. (about 7 miles away) in '72 so this is like watching my yearbook pics come alive. To those commenting "these people are all old now" remember age is relative: some of us definitely seem old at 67, others are doing well, though we all recognize there is less road ahead than behind. Irvington NY has definitely grown since then, though still a lovely, unpretentious town on the Hudson, despite its relative affluence. Shout out to Red Barn Bakery, Red Hat on the Hudson, and the Old Croton Aqueduct Trail.

Those were the BEST years to be a kid/teenager. I was 7 in 1973.

Song at the beginning of the film is John sebastion - You're a big boy now and the one in the end is "Somewhere over the rainbow"

Crazy to think that this was recorded 44 years ago. Meaning this people are like 60 years old. Holy shit

Amazing video. Just a nostalgic Irvington grad looking for a window into the past, and wow does this window PROVIDE.

Thanks for sharing...I graduated that year, too. Class of 1973 - Pennridge HS in Perkasie PA!

I'm from Brazil, and I was born in 1981. But... I miss this time. Thanks for sharing

I was 7 then, how time flies, but growing up as a kid in the 70s was great ❤️

The Doors sequence is excellent. You nailed it.

My dad was 15 in 1973, he graduated in 1976 and just turned 62 :)

This was a very enjoyable watch. Thanks for sharing.

This made me so emotional because it will never be this way again

great video used look through year books and how students looked then....going way back to 50s. that was in mid 90' when I started highschool. best time will always be at school...

I just got my DL here in Ontario Canada when this was filmed. I’m such a sucker for this stuff. Loved those days!

Lol i keep getting these videos on my recommendation and the year keeps going back and back. Soon ima be watching *CLASS OF 19 B.C.*

it’s crazy how the fashion looks pretty modern. I can’t believe that this was 50 years ago and that these people are all really old now.

Beautiful students. The teachers seem so youthful acting and fun. Times don't seem as good now.

Did these teens hit puberty at like 10?? Im 20 and i still look 14

I love this. It's so carefree. :-) 70's !!!!

they look happier than how happy we are today. how cruel could the world be?

The two girls dancing on the grass were so cute and looked like they were really having fun. Adorable.

In the 70s all the guys had long hair which made them look older than they were. Love the way the girls looked back then. That Doors song is actually from the 60's

Love this........we all remember those days......if we could only go back a visit for a little while.(:

Goes by so fast. Wonder how many of them are still around, What their lives were like. Takes me back to my high school days.

The best amateur high school video I’ve seen on KZfaq! Whiteout the camera abilities of all of the others.

The good old days wish it was that way now

Lovely video. What a better time: better music, better and more distinct fashion, better movies, better women, better people. A time when people still had souls. Nice soundtrack too. Millennials and iGens will never know what they missed.

Fashion looks straight out of the movie "Dazed and Confused."

No cell phones or book sacks, but brief cases and pipes. People seem freer and less self absorbed. I am from class of ‘77.

me in 2019 ; man what has the world become???

I literally saw my aunt in this video hahaaha soo hilarious😭😂🤯

same age..from canada my high school was the same same looks thanks for this its wonderful-dave

5:14 onwards made my eyes well up, 😢 with that song playing and watching this, like it's the closing chapter of an era..beautiful

73 was a great year to be young. Remember like it was yesterday, but long gone sadly. But that's life....

I just turned 20 years old. Seeing this knowing these people are in there 60’s now, just reminds me life goes really fast. I need to enjoy it fr

imagine going to college after '73, at the dawn of the Disco era! what a time to be alive!

shout out to my boss Hugh Barbry at Indiana University! He didn't graduate from this HS but he was the class of 1973 and is the coolest boss ever! He talks about how much of a blast the early 70s were!

Back when people had real teeth and real hair and didn’t sit around taking pictures of themselves all day

I watch one High school video and now my entire feed is various old yearbook videos. Great algorithm they have.

Lyz I love this! Can't believe you shot all of this then (and none of me ;-) Happy 2019 💋

This was about a decade before they really started to mess with the food we eat. Everyone on this video is so healthy looking, even the dorks. Testosterone levels were normal then and men were normally masculine. Cancer was such a rarity. I was four years old at this time. Nice to see all those beautiful people I used to look up to again, in a way.

What a great time for children to grow up in....

Wow this absolutely great . This was Year I was born . This is when time was great . Wonder if they are watching themselves now . Thankyou

The kids today will never run out of gas and have to jog a mile or so to find a pay phone that didn't work! lol.

I was born in 1973. It's great to see this video! :)

Moved from Da Bronx to Irvington in 1976. This is a little before my time !!!

Came for video-stayed for the music too!

Thank you for this beautiful home movie!

Pure Gold. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!

Our Beautiful 18 year old young Friend ..took his own life ..May 1 1980...Beloved Jeffery Charles Pond ....Aragorn And ARWEN Always

No cellphones or anything like that in hand just people having fun smiling playing with each other walking around with others man those were the days 😞 and now? Not no more 😞😔 those days are gone 😔

i was only 5 in 1973 and i grew up in L.A. opposite coast from this but when i watch this old footage i never get over how thin everybody was back then! i thought nothing of it at the time.

Born in ‘73. Went to high school in the 80’s.

This was a kind of strange time. Just before the VCR came down to consumer price points. Super 8 film ha just gotten sound. most people coul not really afford to invest in anything beyond regular 8mm

I was 7 ! Luv it , miss those simpler times , thanks for sharing

This is dope . This is my parents generation. A bit before, they graduated in 79. Btw what's the 2nd song?? It slaps

Simply extraordinary

My grandma graduated high school in 1972 and my other grandma graduated high school in 1977 Lucky them

It's 2023, 23 years old rn. Wonder what I'll be doing by 2073...I wish everyone will be happy by then. Wishing good luck y'all❤

Fantastic job, Lyz! Wonderful music, such sharp images. Top shelf, thanks a bunch! /Irv

weed, booze, LSD... we're the class of '73... that's what my uncle told me they used to say.

Wow time has went way too fast! I wanna go back

People seem so animated and, all there, as opposed to the digital zombies of today.

Girls with straight hair parted down the middle...that was and is a classic look...

Why do I find this so enjoyable to watch?

Look: our grandma in miniskirt! Used to have great legs!

Not a fat kid in sight, the thing about the 70's was, we were all searching, and in large part, finally had the freedom to do so. After the rebellious attitude of the psychedelic 60's I really think society just decided to let the kids do their thing, and hope for the best.

What a great video thanks for posting.
