Hey, GrayViners!

High school feels like a lifetime ago—and when we look back, some of it seems almost unbelievable today . From the fashion choices we swore were cool, to the ways we communicated, to the rules (or lack of them!) that wouldn’t fly now… It’s funny how quickly times change.

What parts of your school experience would shock people today? Was it the hairstyles, the music, the school dances—or maybe the fact that you survived without social media?

Bonus points if you share a memory that makes you laugh (like waiting by the landline for a call, sneaking a Walkman into class, or the outfits you can’t believe you wore proudly ).

I’m excited to hear your stories—whether they make you cringe, laugh, or just shake your head at how different things are now.

Here’s to looking back (and realizing just how much the world has changed),
Sophia

Those days are just that memories, oh but we had so much fun with our friends, we gather together on weekends, go down to the basement, play some nice music, play board games, play pool , we made our own brunch. How I miss those days.

Our high school in CT back in the early 70's had a senior smoking lounge.
