Uh, yes we were. It would depend on who we were talking to. If that had been a jock or preppie behind the camera, we probably wouldn't have spoken. There were exceptions though.
@Jeffrey Smith Nerds were nice kids. There were multiple groups. Nerds would be ignored by the cool kids, but the elite group was small. At my school, I campaigned to have one of the nerds voted most popular. He won! The most popular girl was upset. To this day, I love seeing the picture of the most popular girl with the most popular nerd. Totally bitchin’
Facts, as someone who went to public highschool from 2010-2014 I can confirm this hat social media did infact ruin public schools.. made everybody into self absorbed assholes
Good to see a bunch of happy kids. Now, the last day of school is about who is going to kick whose ass, shootings, etc. This is priceless even though I didn't go to school here. I'm from South Texas.
It was amazing times and we didn't even know it. I graduated in 1991. Nobody knew the future was going to be so crappy. I wish my kids would of known life in America back then.
Arlington? I have family there. And back then too. We lived in Grand Prairie. Valley View Apartments. Directly across the street from the High School. My aunt and uncle lived on the other side of the school in Oak Hill Apartments. 1984. The music was a non stop party.
9:58 It's great to see Mr. J early on at the school. He retired in 2004 from teaching, and just retired from conducting the Arlington Master Chorale this year. And to see him threaten Sopranos with a driver... nothing has really changed.😂
Wonder how these folks are doing today? Wonder how many are married/single? How many has their dreams fulfilled? How many have passed on to the other side? How many wish they could go back in time? Anyways, I'm outta here!! Have a great day!
It's really interesting isn't it?? Thanks for the comment. Just recently I attended the 50th birthday of an individual who is in this video... A few folks from this video attended the party. One is a City Council Member of Arlington, Tx. Another person in this video is a District Attorney who has been in some court cases that were national news. And, of course, there are some in this video who I know that are now living month to month. One person in this video was injured on the job a few years ago and now has to use a wheel chair. When I recorded this, I was "that kid" who always walked around with a camera or, in this one case, brought a video camera to school. Remember, that at this time, a video camera was about 8 pounds, could record only about an hour of footage before it needed recharging, and it was about 6 inches wide by 1 1/2 feet long... Huge... But I am so happy to have captured these moments. I hope you saw my other video from the movie theater I used to work at. Same thing... A moment in time. I love those friends... I know that one of the guys in the movie theater passed away about 5 years ago which caused a few of us old friends to reach out to each other and reconnect.
I graduated from Lamar that same year. Was hoping to see some people I may have known from Six Flags or All-City Band or Orchestra. And I did! Jennifer Wiggin in the white t-shirt at 17:17.
2:12, cute girl. Where are you now? 4:58, Do you still have that photo you took? I graduated in 1988, it's cool to see these videos of other high schools around the same time.
I met a girl from Martin in 1986 or 87 can't remember but she had family in Duncanville and would visit in the summer and we'd mess around when she'd come to visit. Man for the life of me I can't remember her name but she was a little brunette and I remember she was beautiful.
High school was a difficult time for me I was a foot shorter than the girls 40 lbs overweight with crooked yellow teeth and a bad case of gas the ugliest girl in school would not give me the time of day so predictably I played with myself a lot and over time went blind
The good ole days when you went to school and didn’t have to worry if some kid that played to many violent video games came in your school and shot the place up!

Hey, this was the last day of my senior year. I’m not in this video but thanks for posting it. From me and all my friends of the class of 89.
Glad you liked it! Did you and I know each other????
I graduated in ‘89! Wish I could go back in time. Best times of my life. 🤘🏽
I’m currently in Martin High School. It’s a nice school, but it doesn’t really have the same atmosphere that this video has. You know?
The days when people could get along and have fun!
Not everyone got along. Believe me, we had lots of issues back then too.
@@ScottSigrist I guess even worse
@@ScottSigristThey look popular 😂.
Social media destroyed everything. Even the nerds weren't socially awkward back then.
zepps88 people use to be cool back in the day now people are so rude and care about they themselves

It's another thing that's the opposite of what its name implies.

Lol! Kids settled scores back then, too!!
Graduated at AHS in 2020 i loved to see how things were in the 80s. Times seemed way better and different in this era.
stupid kid. lol
Oh my gosh! I think I bolted after AP English that day! I was off to Falls Creek and then College! Love the memories!
Thanks for the reply! Sorry I didn't respond sooner! I hope you are doing well! Did we know each other from any classes??
@@ScottSigrist I'm not sure. I was in Orchestra and knew of you from friends. Were you in choir?
I hope these people got a good life and future after this day.
I just graduated this year. It's funny how it looks the same now as it did then but at the same time so so different
WOW! Fun to see some old faces, and see the old school. Thanks for the memories!
Hope life turned out good for them!!
There are current city council members in this video! Still stay in touch with a lot of folks in this video
@@ScottSigrist who are the council members? i love seeing things like this
Love the music at the end! I was 12 yrs old then and l loved that song! Rock steady!
This is SO AMAZING. Just graduating last year, I love seeing what it was like back then. It's amazing
It was amazing times and we didn't even know it. I graduated in 1991. Nobody knew the future was going to be so crappy. I wish my kids would of known life in America back then.

Less swearing I observed
Yes I never cussed back then
*It's only a matter of time before this footage ends up in a lo-fi house or vapor wave video.*
I went to this highschool but graduated somewhere else. I would have been class of '07 fun years :)
Why do we have to get older. Someone please reverse aging!!
man i wish i was born in the 80s
No discrimination No Consent No offensive rasism No Toxic Internet to ruin peoples lives
Wonder how these folks are doing today?
Wonder how many are married/single?
How many has their dreams fulfilled?
How many have passed on to the other side?
How many wish they could go back in time?
Anyways, I'm outta here!!
Have a great day!

Most of us wish we could go back. No mortgage, no run away inflation, etc. Life was good.
Graduated the same year 1989 from Mosley High Panama City, Fl. No cells, social media just kids interacting with each other.
I was in H.S. at this time. I haven't smelled Aqua-Net in 30 years, but I thought of the smell while watching this,....lmao!
10:53 have a nice life.
Then, if you kept in touch it was being a pen pal. Letter, envelope and stamp. This the 80s vibe I remember and miss.
i wonder where these people are now, if they will even see this video?? definitely a simpler time
I graduated from Lamar that same year. Was hoping to see some people I may have known from Six Flags or All-City Band or Orchestra. And I did! Jennifer Wiggin in the white t-shirt at 17:17.
Class of '89 here....thank you.
That's my wife!
Great video. I graduated from Martin 89. Sure brings back memories.
this is so weird, i remember finding this my freshman year at martin and now im a senior and im back here.
I bet none of them realized at the time, they'd never see 90% of these people ever again.
YES.But don t bet it in a small community,like this shit.
I didn’t go to this school, but it reminds me of my school.
The school looks a lot different then it is now I graduated there in 2017
In 89 my mom was 9 years old and my dad was 13 years old
my man is listening to the whispers in the car at 17:41. you have good music taste my dude
So fun to watch! Class 06' I miss those hallways and the courtyard
I graduated in '88 from RL Turner in Carrollton/Farmers Branch. Good, good times.
O zamanın olgun ve samimi insanları.
Sosyal medya ve internetin de bunda payı var...🤔

Back then it was awkward to get filmed 😂felt like one was already going live and everyone was watching you😂 but it was fun!
absolutely fascinating.
15:44 Ok I'm in love, what's her name chief?
Was this what is now workman jr high. ?
First it was Martin high school
Then they built a new Martin and this became workman ?
Martin high is still the same building. There just added on to it.
High school was a difficult time for me I was a foot shorter than the girls 40 lbs overweight with crooked yellow teeth and a bad case of gas the ugliest girl in school would not give me the time of day so predictably I played with myself a lot and over time went blind
Hanging around somewhere in that school is future baseball draft bust Todd Van Poppel.
I saw Wendy Anderson and Christie Bristow this time! Oh! Brian Moose!
It’s so weird to see this school so old in a weird way?
Awwwwwwwwww
We was suh yong
We didn't ree-oh-lize
Just what we'd duh-un
Awwwww
We was too-ooh yong
The crazy. Things. We did. The. Good times.
Probably all going to the Premonition show later that night
Cool to have The Proclaimers in your class.

@@ScottSigrist The two brothers @ 0.41ish.
You have to speak Spanish now at that school .
What?😂😂 no you don’t
@@M77245 maybe he meant you have to take the class
Jeez... Nerds use to be so fuckin' cool... What happened?
Same now as it was then.
@@ScottSigrist After two years since I wrote this comment... I think you're right!
high school already had several types of people and of course times were different
It’s always been that way.
The good ole days when you went to school and didn’t have to worry if some kid that played to many violent video games came in your school and shot the place up!
We had our worries. Things were far from perfect.
Where is tayk
A UNIQUE DAY !
Is it just me or do some UA-cam videos pixelate? I can't see the video!
It works now but still happens
