“Party at the Moon Tower!”
I was a Junior in 1977.

Probably every student had a copy of “Frampton Comes Alive”.
We had a gun club in high school. Kids would walk to school with a rifle over their shoulder (unloaded). There were no school shootings.
I remember, more recently, a high school Assistant Principal who had a shotgun in his car trunk. He parked one foot off of school property. When some student threatened to shoot, he ran, took his shotgun, and the crazy kid stopped.
We’d wear our football jerseys on game day.
‘73
Graduated in 1977.
Hockey, boys basketball, and girls basketball on one court at the same time? That I don’t remember. I did own a Ford Maverick, Mustang, and a Ford Pinto shown in the clip. Thanks for posting!
Frampton Comes Alive was 76. In 77 they all had copies of Fleetwod Mac Rumors.
I graduated in ‘77. I remember gun racks in trucks though no guns in the high school parking lot. We had coed PE because the band would transition from fall marching band to concert band and so PE was required in the spring. Good times!
We did not have co-ed gym, either, but we were a small, rural school. Co-ed gym would have been nixed right away.
Did kids sneak around to smoke cigarettes when you were in high school?
Class of 1977 myself.
Great year.
We had designated smoking areas and open campus. If you didn’t have a class you didn’t have to be there. I usually was done by 11AM, and spent from noon to sunset riding my horse with my friends in Fairmount Park. (Philadelphia)
Probably every student had a copy of “Frampton Comes Alive”.
Class of ‘78.
I enjoyed every note of “Do You Feel Like We Do” on the way to work this morning.
True story, there was one girls bathroom and when you walked by it, it was like a chimney with all the smoke coming out, the gross part is that the girls would also eat their brown bag lunches in there also.
35 minutes from me...
Class of ‘79. We didn’t have to sneak cigarettes we had an official smoking area :)
I was 8 years old in 1977. Not yet going to High school.
But the one thing that strikes me is seeing High school teens driving themselves around, to and from school. When I went to High school (in New york city), there simply was no such thing as High school teenagers driving themselves around. You couldn’t get a driver’s license until you were 18 (and even if they would have been allowed to drive, i didn’t know a high school teen who could afford a car), and most teens graduated from high school at age 17.
In my High school days, I never, ever saw any of my fellow teens driving around. We all either walked to school, took a public bus, a school bus, or were dropped off by parents.
“I graduated in ‘77. I remember gun racks in trucks though no guns in the high school parking lot”
I graduated in 77. South Alabama. I kept a shotgun in the gun rack of my truck, all the time, just for the hell of it. I didn’t even hunt. Nobody cared, nobody was scared. Never even worried about it getting stolen. My God what a simpler time it was.
A lot fewer fatties back then.
