I graduated about 10 years after you.
Someone who graduated in the 70s posted dozens of pictures from my high school on Facebook once.
Something that stood out was that high schoolers in the 70s looked almost like adults. It wasn’t the style, it was their look. Comparing that to 80s grads, we all looked a little younger. The kids in high school (and even college) now look like children.
Maybe this is a perception from just being older, but my wife and I swear that something (vaccines, preservatives in foods, environment, whatever) is stunting kid’s growth more and more each decade.
Graduated early 70s. Fairly big high school, about ten fat kids out of 800 or so. Also, we were expected to have part time jobs, show up to school on time, every day, and start acting like real adults. We even dressed like adults. There was a dress code in my school and you got sent home if you didn't honor it. No jeans, no shorts, no tee shirts.
