I lost way too many friends who got lost in addiction after thy left HS and stopped taking Ritalin , it went down hill fast for most of them and ultimately ended in jails institutions or death . . Common denominator is prescription speed in school
Something happened during the summer of ‘76. A lot of the burnouts in my HS cleaned up their acts for their senior year. Not that they all of a sudden became brown-noser jocks, but they did at least tone it down to the extent that they didn’t look like typical ‘70s juvenile delinquents any more. Ah, but you could still catch some of them smokin’ a doob at the Homecoming game.
