1974

I was over at my parents house today, helping them clean out closets and I found my senior year book from 1974 when I graduated from Newark Senior High school (I know I do not look that old).

It must be something I must have bought or got because the book has no pictures of anything from the school, just generic places to record things. Some of the interesting things I wrote down:

  • A coke costs $0.20
  • A hamburger = $0.28
  • Large pizza = $2.90
  • movie = $2.25
  • Gasoline = $0.45 per gallon!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Rock concert = $5
  • Record = $4 (who remembers those?)
  • Tapes = $5 (Who else remembers these?)
  • 4 year goal = have a Bachelor of Science degree = complete, even though it took 5 years
  • Long Term goal -= married and get a good job = Success on both counts
  • After school hangouts - Gym, Frischs and Lums
  • Best half hour program = "Happy Days"
  • Best 1 hour program = "Banacek, Kojak, Kung Fu"
  • Best new show = "All in the family"
  • Best new commentator = Jon Chancellor - NBC news
  • Best sports coverage = 1972 Olympics
  • Worst commercial= Mrs. Olsen Folgers coffee
  • Favorite album = Seals and Crofts - Diamond Girl
  • Favorite songs = American band, Diamond Girl, Jesus is just alright with me.
  • Pet = Susie, my poodle, who bit Angela the 1st time she came to our house!
