In the mid 1970's, Northglenn, Colorado was nondescript suburb of Denver Colorado with a large, one might say, overflowing high school of mostly white, middle class students.

On the last day of his senior year at NGHS, Sam Klemke took his super 8 movie camera and reel to reel tape recorder to school and filmed sound bites of the teachers as they came and went from the faculty lounge.

The lighting was largely overexposed, the sound was problematic at times, but you can still get a feel for the giddiness that the whole school was feeling as summer vacation erupted on the class of '75, as well as the entire student body of 2700, and certainly even the faculty were ready to vamos from the "Open Campus" of those loose days near the end of the counter culture.

Some of my favorites of the day were Walt Parker, Jim Studholme, Marty Gorce, Clarence Kruger, Roger Harding, and Larry Smith. They were the real individuals, the distinct personalities that stood out on that massive campus.

Where are they now? 35 years later, Most are gone.

Speak up if you knew any of these seminal characters in the lives of a sprawling suburban High School. What is your story?

  • NGHS... Class of '82... Loved this vid, even if it was a bit ahead of my peak at the school... still... lots of familiar faculty and locations. I'd love to see the Northglenn Mall stuff... we could post a link to the Facebook NG Mall Fan page! Thanks for the post of this film/vid.

  • Holy crap!  I still recognize some of these people!

    Class '76, Go Norse!

  • This should have been my sister Mona's sophomore year at Northglenn. I'll double check with her. I recognized at least 3 faculty faces from my years at Northglenn, '78 - '81. Another former student who I believe graduated from NGHS in '82 was just promoted to Brigadier General in the U.S. Army.

  • @ultimessence Thanks man, looking forward to it, I subscribed to your channel, thanks for all the fun videos!
