The drive-ins, car hops, drag racing at night across the deserted 3/4 mile two lane road above the huge earth dam outside of town.
I never had a car in HS, I discovered motorcycles...so I was only a passenger in those drag races. Lots of bragging about who's car was tops, etc.
HS sports was a big event.
Canteen was big on Fri. and Sat. nights. Old brick school house converted for dancing (free jukebox). Girls would dance with girls. Only time we guys would dance w/the girls was the last dance - slow dance.
Drinking keg beer was big also.
Only a couple of pregnant HS girls in those days. If so, they left school and usually left town.
