I graduated in 1989. The last day of school was simultaneously the best day of my life and one of the worst days of my life. I got to move on to a new chapter of my life, but I had to say goodbye to the people I had seen almost every day of my life for the previous 12 years and I haven't seen most of them again since that day.
@@silasbenz9224 hillarious. I was most popular guy in school. Literally hated most of the sheep twerps. Moving on is what men do. Those that don't are weak little boys like you. Hillarious
The eighties were my late teens and twenties. Such a wonderful time to be young. America was in great shape and Americans were very happy. The metal and concerts of the day were true events to experience. They will never ever be the same or even come close. I remember them like they were yesterday, I miss them like they were a 1,000 years ago.
You know if i could go back in time i would do it all different i would enjoy these days gone by a lot more than i did i would have a bit more appreciation for this time period of my life, its easy to say all that now but i think we all here secretly wish we could go back and maybe do it again or do it a i little different!
aww.. loved the high school years.. had more fun in those years than ever. Spent so much time with classmates after school (and especially on weekends). had my first car (old POS, but rocked).... started to skip classes because of having the car, but was not too bad. Went out just driving around, playing lots and lots of music...and while we got in the odd mischief, we never did anything illegal (other than smoke some pot sometimes),
It's important to remember the paradigm of back then- in these early days camcorders were HUGE, impossible to hide, & being filmed with personal camcorders was new back then. Ppl didn't want to be filmed because it put them on the spot, & they were usually a little self conscious, never being filmed before. Things had totally changed by the 90's
Love these videos Rob. Great footage, capturing, documenting a moment in time. I don't know you or the people in the videos, but I really appreciate you sharing these videos. By the way, I am from Scotland and recently moved to Stratford. Great seeing these videos from 30 years ago. I wish I had more documented footage from my teenage days 🎥🎬📽📹
wow thanks for this video! i was only 6 years old at the time it was filmed, but it's interesting how things were back then already. how i wish i had video cameras of my childhood days that time. but it seemed that video cameras were only for the select few or the rich that time, it's amazing how things are different now. whew.
I believe those computers are unisys icon's if i'm not mistaken. We had color ones back in highschool when I was there. There was a central server in the room with the hard drive, and each computer was networked to it. Good times.
Ahhh the school has changed so much but so little at the same time, the first classroom they were in is the grade8 mathroom now, the second one is english room
@Steve G French is really only spoken in one province of Canada - Quebec. We typically take *maybe* one or two classes of Frrench in grade 9 or 10 and then for most... that's the end of it. The VAST majority of Canadians are NOT bi-lingual
It was a great world before internet and entitlement and so many sensitive sheep . We used to actually do chit face to face. No phonie bullchit. Society has gone to chit.

It's called move on.
@Eddie spagetti that's true but moving on is easy when no one liked you, Eddie my boy

Under Ronald Reagan at that. DEMONcrats ruined this country.
Yes but all the immigration enriched us since then.
I graduated in 1988, cool memories 👍
It's nice to hear the audio as well !
I remember this day. You knew you'd never see 99% of your friends again. It was the end and the start of something new.

Nice walk down memory lane! Same year I graduated in Aurora, CO USA...
What HS in Aurora?
@@philomath67 probably liberals r us high
Flipping off the camera. Still a normal occurrence lol
Love the 80’s. Everyone was cool full of energy
Not like today everyone is so freaking sensitive And everything is an assault.
Shorty. Shorty. Lol
Thank a DEMONcrat next time you see one of the demons
@@jonburrows2684 I think it's just the new generation in general. Not sure if political preferences have anything to do with it. But who knows.

The overhead projector. Classic! Graduated 87’
Rob, I feel like I'm in a John Hughes watching
this, especially with Schlotzy!
This is definitely before my time but it's cool to see and it definitely makes me think of some cool High School memories that I have😂
Weird how back then girls looked away from a camera and now a days they can’t get enough of looking at a camera
😂😂😂
It’s called narcissism
Because the world is now consumed with love of self instead of love for others.
Tennyson High, class of 1987.

this is so weird this is my high school! It looks pretty much the same now haha...except the lockers are all new.
And they're teaching y'all how to be drag queens and hate your own skin color.
Bunch of 50 year olds now :P
I was 10 good times man
That thumb is naugh-tay...also, super cute teach.
Bruce is a legend
1988. Still a twinkle in my dad's eye before a year later. Still weird that Canadians call 9th grade Grade 9. But hey, it's all good.

2:35 I like Bruce. That was me. Nerdy looking, but will flip you off. hahaha
what camera is this Rob ? if u dont mind me asking
Отлично)
Time when girls look like girls (all are cute) and boys look like boys.
Everybody socialized.
World change for worse.
Actually a lot of the guys had long hair back then. And some girls had shorter mullet hair styles
You’ve got that right!
Thank RACIST DEMONcrats for that. They have ruined this country
