Although Montebello high school seems like a far cry today from the era shown in this film
can you name any high school that is? This was almost a half century ago. Demographics
changed, as has America in general. My family went there in the 60's and my
nephew a few years back. It is not a bad school despite the negative press many of the students created for themselves a few years ago. But was that much different than the walk outs of the 1970's? The era of Ozzie and Harriet just a memory
I graduated Eastmont Jr. High in 1964 and Montebellon High in 1967. To look at it now...all fenced in because of stupidity!!! Gone are the good ol days and I'm glad I'm far away from it!!
Nothing lasts forever.Amerika had it's Golden Era--the late Nineteen-Forties;gone by the late Seventies.Yeah,Amerika was once a great nation.Our borders were closed--and the Amerikan-Race ruled.But the Communist One-World-Globalists are growing impatient.Why do you think the jew-Globalists have given this Country over to the roll-a-tacos,and the watermelon-suckers?The inferior,failed Marxist races will be ruled easily;once the Blue-n-Blonde intelligent races of Earth have been exterminated.
sides, kuz years from now wen r kids r in high school there still gonna experience this crap n for that reason this wold that we live in today, will b the same as tomorrows!
I grew up in the same late 50s era, and I wish this generation had the same opportunities as we did. Things were so much simple and easy-going during that period.
I'm Mexican too!! But it doesn't mean I have to agree with all the atrocities my fellow paisas commit, nor do I feel I should support either side regardless of color, gender or belief.. Well maybe color, if you happend to be purple or green.. Gotta draw the line somewhere.. :)
so many racist fucks i swear,mexicans arnt the only race who go to montebello theres asians,white trash,armenians and all sorts of latinos not just mexicans so all u guys need to stfu already.hating because were dominating haha :)
@jooseVV What's with the "u guys, bullshit?" We're Americans, asshole! And by-the-way,...copping an attitude isn't going to get you anywhere. Instead, it'll forever keep you down and second-class. You need to clean up your act, Homie! Oh yeah, one more thing,...learn to spell before you come on here and make a fool of yourself.
@ sheep5654, don't be an ediot, it's you! People like you that feel they deserve respect or some kind of prize, or right, just because it's you. Don't be foolish, wasn't it some Mexican kids not long ago that took over that school, took down the American flag, and raised the Mexican flag on top the upsidedown american flag? Google it.. Not all mexicans or south Americans are bad, just you and those like you..
@inertiadrft haha youre an "idiot"(learn your language before you use it) you really have no idea what happened that day, and neither do i because i wasnt in that school back then i was at the intermediate school. i dont want a reward, do you see me asking for one? i dont want respect for anything. im not from an immigrant family my family was here way before yours was. and i hope you can recall when youre people where pushing your culture here. remember that? or is that just a blur to everyone?
@sheep5654 haha, No! you are the ediot here.. Look, Im not sure what you mean by "my people" in fact, I dont think you know who "my people" are. So your people have been here before my people huh? well, Im not sure what you want, a prize? recognition? like I said, always wanting something.. And I know my language well thank you very much, but do you know you're language yourself? My people pushing culture? all I know is "mi gente" crusaron el oceano atlantico y conquistaron America. u Ediot!
@inertiadrft learn to spell idiot, then you can use the word, if you dont try to take it out of context. im not mexican by the way, im mostly native american, and yes your people pushed your culture in the americas.
@sheep5654 Look, you should read one of "you're" comments below, and notice that you should learn hot to spell "you're" self! IDIOT! Take what out of context? That I'm calling you out? You replied to my comment, you did not have to, but the shoe fit did it not? So you are not Mexican but "mostly" native American?? So what's the other half? So my people pushed my culture in the Americas? You're people should have defended it better, get over it, grow up, stop feeling and acting victimised.
looks like a great time to grow up, especially in CA. I am still trying to figure out what the cause that changed the 1950's into the nation we still call USA
This seemed like a great era to grow up in, especially in CA. ( I am only 44 yearsold). I don't know whats going on with all the chicanos, yeah they were there before "Americans" but the native Americans were there before them. The chicanos are only causing others to HATE mexican people and want to kill them, they have a bad way of protesting
Wow, this is great footage. My aunt is MexicanAmerican, she graduated from this school in '67 and she herself cannot believe how it has turned into a SHIT HOLE infested with illegal if not mexican trash and what not.......sad.
@hiphopbaby83 wow that is sad i can tell you are racist. thats sad how ignorant you are. you do know that not all Mexicans are illegal, most are legal citizens since the manifest destiny (or should i say hostile takeover by the united states). its sad what people would do for land. the conquistadores in the 1400's, the English in the 1600's and the americans during the manifest destiny
Im a senior and i wish i had attent all my high school yrs,because that high school is very well diciplined starting by the teachers,everything about it is so awesome,too bad im new,such a lonely senior.dammit, and i can hardly recognize the places,from today.dude the school is 100yrs old
I went to Montebello Junior and Senior High school with Kathy. She was an honor student and cheerleader. I never dated her but we talked on the phone once or twice a week. She was a down to earth nice girl.
Yes it has but its not that bad. Worse that goes on is all the drug deals. U gotta go to the L.A. schools where they have random searchings in classes. They have those for a reason. (Those are the ones you can get shot at)
@piercedbydave um no you wouldnt, actually have you seen any reports of a shooting in that school? its actually a good school. i love it, i have a lot of friends from many ethnic backgrounds. dont be blinded by what happens in the news or the stereotypes that are spread like wildfire. you should be more open minded about the world. get out of your little bubble and explore, or is that too much to ask? we dont have metal detectors, or random searches, we have great teachers though? shocker right?
I clicked on the link in the upper right hand corner of this page, and really enjoyed watching that Video Tribute to Kathy Kersh. I'm just old enough to remember her, and how beautiful she was. Hey, she still looks great.
MHS class of 91 representing...This video is cool. Love the fashion back then, I too bet it was a fun era. My mom was class of 68, uncle class of 69 and my other uncle class of 73. Thanks for taking us back. The school has changed a lot, even from the time I went.
This sure is a complete opposite of the video I just saw where the Mexican flag was raised on the Montebello HS flag pole and the American flag below it upside down.
I'm a freshman at MHS. It looks like that would have been a great time to go to MHS, now it's filled with wannabie cholos and almost every desk has some sort of tagging on it, except for the new buildings. I love MHS though. Great film, finally a REAL film on YouTube.
that was amazing. my dad went to montebello high-class of 66. i've been going crazy looking for his senior picture or something to suprise him with can't fing anything!
It was the best time in the world to be a Teenager. The late 50s gave us Hotrods, Malt Shops, Car-Hops, Drive-In Theaters, Classic Cars, Classic Rock n' Roll, and Classic "B" Movies. It was a time of innocense, before Assascinations, the Vietnam War, Drugged-out Hippies, and Watergate. We had Two-Parent Families with Stay-At-Home Moms, and the ability to speak our mind, without the Political-Correctness Police slamming us for it. A wonderful Era, never to be seen again. What a shame!
@mrbeaverman08: "and the ability to speak our mind, without the Political-Correctness Police slamming us for it."
Well..................not exactly. I'll be honest; parts of that decade were during the McCarthy Era{certain viewpoints weren't exactly tolerated by the news media}, and not to mention it was still hard to get a word in favor of Civil Rights, especially in the South{I live in TX}..........so yeah, PC can go both ways you know.
dam i wish i went to mhs back in those days... now all u c at mhs are stupid fucking cholo wannabies trying too look for fights cus they have nuthing els to do. GO MHS CLASS OF 09
omg ths almost made me cry. i went to montebello for 1 yr, and i wish i would have NEVER left there. i see the campus was so beautiful back then and it is still till this day. i miss u montebello
What great memories !! You did a great job matching the music to the film also ! I graduated from Montebello in 1960 - went to Montebello Jr high and Washington Elementary !I recognized some of the girls - Kathy Kersh !! Wow! She was so pretty ! She went on to marry Vince Edwards (Ben Casey) and Robin ( Burt Ward ) and I saw her as Miss Beverly Hills on The Beverly Hillbillies ! Thanks for the memories !
What a great film, but pretty sad discussion. Now I remember why I couldn't wait to get out of Montebello. I'm white, but had many wonderful friends with diverse cultural backgrounds and different religions. At reunions, it's nice to see that some of those who were not white and in the honors classes still made it to college and grad school. The theme song of the film was "Venus" so I assume the film maker was finding and filming girls he thought were his dream of Venus. CMc Class of '65
Actually, I picked "Venus" because it was number one on the charts in 1960. And yes, I was very much into girls. And except for 3 buddys I hung around with, I couldn't care less about the guys.
Wow the people on this video should be somewhere around 56 years old. I could ony imagine what they would say if they themselves would see these particular piece of 8MM film. Great memories I would assume.
This is a great video! Though it's impossible not to see the obvious demographic change that has occurred. There are good reasons for this, not all of them related to "open borders" either. Notice the date on the video? The birth control pill was introduced in 1960, followed by abortion being legalized in 1973. And thus began the self-genocide of a once great people...All the while to the south, Catholic Mexico grew and grew. Not really all that hard to figure out.
@inertiadrft yeah dont you remember manifest destiny? dont be so ignorant though its not good for you, and you guys left when a few minorities came. what? scared of a few Mexicans, Asians, and Armenians??
Spain was here first. Not the Mexicans. The Mexicans were only here for 26 years, their flag that is. Spain who build the Spanish missions colonized the southwest for I believe over 300 years. The Mexicans like incorporating Spanish history as their own as they know it helps their cause. Don't believe it.
The American Hispanics were half breed American Indians/Spanish. Notice how different they look from Mexicans today? The Mexicans are Spanish and half Mexican Indian.
Don't be so quick to blame open borders and illegals. Look back to the start of the bilingual/multilingual era that started in the 70's. You can blame the liberal academics (most of whom were non-minorities at that time) for that. In the end assimilation into the mainstream American culture was severely discouraged.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
THis vidio shows how wonderfull life is without mexicans. No trash. no graffiti,No gangs,no ugly grean mexican flags.any where mexicans go it turns to shit thats why whites leave and make wonderfull citys like OC and simivalley/santa clarita
Yes, I shot this film when I was 16-17 with an old Kodak fixed-focus key-wind 8mm Home Movie Camera, given to me by an Aunt who bought a new and better Movie Camera. As a sideline business, I transfer Home Movies to DVD. I also edit videos on my computer. "Montebello High" is located in a suburb of Los Angeles, Montebello California.
Who taught you how to spoke? Lol its (I did enjoy the video) idiot.
And you have to be the most mentally challenged person to believe that there were no Mexican's in Montebello back then. Just because somebody posted a 2:22 min video with mostly blond people in it, you think there was "No single Mexican's or Cholo's".
Wow I bet you were heart broken when you were 15 years old and found out that Santa Claus wasn't real. =-(
Amazing..class of 98 here. You noticed something? Montebello High School then had no cholos and not one single Mexican around! LOL!! I bet those were really good times. And those ladies are gorgeous...man I wish I lived back then
Cool video, my Mom graduated in 1958 from Montebello High ......I was born the same year, oops....She and her old school buddies will get a kick out of this...
wow I am grad 04, and wow I miss MHS. I actually meet two from this class period, it looks like such a different school, yet it seems like not much has changed.
Quite the contrary, Rich -- not boring at all. We see movies from 1959 all the time, but it's interesting to see real people in their real clothes just being themselves. Thanks for posting this.
This is an amazing film... I lived and worked in the area for most of my life and it is interesting to see how the school has changed. PLEASE post more (if you have 'em)!

At reunions, it's nice to see that some of those who were not white and in the honors classes still made it to college and grad school. The theme song of the film was "Venus" so I assume the film maker was finding and filming girls he thought were his dream of Venus. CMc Class of '65

Actually, I picked "Venus" because it was number one on the charts in 1960. And yes, I was very much into girls. And except for 3 buddys I hung around with, I couldn't care less about the guys.

Wow the people on this video should be somewhere around 56 years old. I could ony imagine what they would say if they themselves would see these particular piece of 8MM film. Great memories I would assume.

No my friend,...try more like 64 to 65 years old at present. Many of my fellow classmates HAVE seen this film, including those who are in it.

Hi Rich..
Were you in the class of '59 or '60??
I was in the class of 1960. I forwarded the link to another classmate and she loved it also.

This is a great video! Though it's impossible not to see the obvious demographic change that has occurred. There are good reasons for this, not all of them related to "open borders" either. Notice the date on the video? The birth control pill was introduced in 1960, followed by abortion being legalized in 1973. And thus began the self-genocide of a once great people...All the while to the south, Catholic Mexico grew and grew. Not really all that hard to figure out.

Originally Named Newmark in 1899, the town was renamed Montebello or Beautiful Hills in Italian at the urging of William Mulholland in 1900.

sheep5654 1 year ago
Spain was here first. Not the Mexicans. The Mexicans were only here for 26 years, their flag that is. Spain who build the Spanish missions colonized the southwest for I believe over 300 years. The Mexicans like incorporating Spanish history as their own as they know it helps their cause. Don't believe it.
The American Hispanics were half breed American Indians/Spanish. Notice how different they look from Mexicans today? The Mexicans are Spanish and half Mexican Indian.
They are not us!

Don't be so quick to blame open borders and illegals. Look back to the start of the bilingual/multilingual era that started in the 70's. You can blame the liberal academics (most of whom were non-minorities at that time) for that. In the end assimilation into the mainstream American culture was severely discouraged.

Yes, I shot this film when I was 16-17 with an old Kodak fixed-focus key-wind 8mm Home Movie Camera, given to me by an Aunt who bought a new and better Movie Camera. As a sideline business, I transfer Home Movies to DVD. I also edit videos on my computer. "Montebello High" is located in a suburb of Los Angeles, Montebello California.

Who taught you how to spoke? Lol its (I did enjoy the video) idiot.
And you have to be the most mentally challenged person to believe that there were no Mexican's in Montebello back then. Just because somebody posted a 2:22 min video with mostly blond people in it, you think there was "No single Mexican's or Cholo's".
Wow I bet you were heart broken when you were 15 years old and found out that Santa Claus wasn't real. =-(
