Test Your Chronological Acumen



This YouTube clip (thanks Adam) contains fairly ancient Super 8mm footage of the high school where I work . . . and the question is this: using only hairstyles, cars, and clothing . . . what year was it shot?

    1974?

    I think I saw Randy Floyd in one of the football sequences.

    It looks like 1975 to me, but god only knows what goes on in central Jersey. It could be 2005.

    I vote 1976 based on my hairstyles and technology of the camera.

    Crowd-source for the answer can be a good idea. Too bad for you this crowd is clueless.

    I think the guy in the "Michigan 75" jersey has the answer.
