At Arroyo High School in San Lorenzo, I had a cheap super-8 camera and in my senior year I decided to capture some of the juvenile antics I could persuade my friends to do with me. All this is in bad taste now but I like the fact that I have proof of myself at eighteen. I chose Let Your Love Flow by the Bellamy Brothers because that was the #1 hit record the summer I graduated.

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!!

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.

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.

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

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.
