Going to school in 1977

This video actually brought tears to my eyes. The slamming of the lockers, the kids talking and laughing. There were no cell phones back then. Tik Toc was non-existent. I actually miss the good old days.

Whoever shot this had top tier video gear for 1977.

They all look healthy and in great spirit. All of these kids must be nearing 65 by now.

This was defiantly a golden age of America.Everything was better like the music, schools, sports, people in general. So simple I love this

We are blessed to have been teenagers in the 70’s. We just didn’t know it.

Those of us who grew up in the 70s and 80s hit the sweet spot.

Born in 64'. The seventies were like something we will never see again for many reasons.

These were far better days than today & we didn't know it ! Things got Worse ! 😔

I graduated in 1977. I'd give almost anything to go back to those days. Hard to believe that those kids would be in their 60s by now. Time marches on.

Boy, my heart aches looking at this. The cars, the clothes, the hair styles, the young people. This was every high school across this country back in 1977. Man, do I miss these times. My heart just aches!!!

Probably none of us in the comments actually attended this school…and yet we ALL did didn’t we?? I graduated in 79 and this is a perfect representation of high school back then. It can literally bring you to tears as seeing this brings back all the memories of an awesome time to be a Kid!

The clothes, the hair, the happy memories. This is the year I graduated and I remember it all like it happened yesterday. Happier, easier times. ♥️♥️♥️

I'll say it again: I'm everyday grateful for growing up in the 70's.

I graduated in 77. Best time to grow up. No cell phones No internet no computers. I wouldn’t trade it for anything. The music we had was the best.

77 grad here! We dressed like ladies, hair and makeup were natural, guys had respect! No social media, we had freinds from all walks of life but that too was just a natural thing in our school. Jocks, hippies, black, white, nerds, no one cared. Life was better without identity groups. Where did it all go so wrong?

What a great time to be in school. No social media, no cell phones. Real human connections.

No shootings, no metal detectors, no cell phones and no Tik Tok.! Ahhhh.... nice life!
Graduated in 1978, and so glad I did. Loved the parking lot at the beginning!!

Reading the comments of so many fellow high schoolers in the late 70s. We may have attended different schools, but we will forever share the same reflection of just how lucky we were to have grown up in that era.

Class of '82. Raised in the suburbs in the South. It was just like this, amazing. The student parking lot filled with mom cars and the occasional camero. Ford Mustangs were the thing in Raleigh. In '77 you could pick up a 1965, fair condition for $600. Crazy great time. Thanks for posting.

The 70s were the best years. Life was simple and uncomplicated. Everyone knew the same songs and games. Families had dinner together. Music was amazing. Now electronic gadgets separate people. Common threads are almost gone. People are isolated. I haven’t seen a kid mowing a lawn or playing outside in 15 years. They’re all inside in their isolated bedrooms on their phones rotting their brains. They will never know how open and free the people were before the internet.

I want to go back in a time machine to those great days of the 70s.
