not into fashions i guess 5/10

Oddly enough, when I was in high school from 1970 to 1975 - no I didn't fail a grade - back then the concept of middle schools hadn't yet caught up with all of the educational system in southeastern Virginia, and high schools in some cities began with 8th grade, and finished at 12th grade! So, 5 year high schools were still a "thing" back then.

But, lots of things changed in 1970 and '71 - that was the last year for 5 year high schools then, and the one I went to had been around since at least the 20's, and instead of just taking the 8th grade out, and adding it to the nearest new middle school, leaving the high school with 4 years or even three, they just eliminated it completely! It was the end of an era for Virginia sports too!

Also, 1970 was the very first year that they changed the dress codes and allowed GIRLS to actually wear PANTS👖to school!! No jeans! But dress pants, pant suits, things like that. Jeans came along in a couple more years though! Bell bottoms, here we come!!

Anyway, I think the point I was going to make, was in all those 5 years - and I went to enormous schools - my graduating class in 1975 was well over 600 students, and that's just for the Seniors! 👩‍🎓👨‍🎓 The sophomores were about 1,000 and the Juniors numbered around 800 or so - but the whole time I was in school, I never saw anyone else wear, (or wore myself) any of that garish, gruesome, neon nastiness they showed in those ads! And we ran the gamut from the poorest inner city schools, to the upscale upper middle class schools with every modern amenity. I went to all of them in 5 years! (We moved a lot!) In 7th to 10th grade, I went to a different school each year. Three schools before that for grade school. Then for the last two years, I actually stayed in the same school 2 years in a row! Very strange feeling that was!

But, for such a cross section of East Coast education, it just didn't really get into the gaudy, garish patterns and colors they showed here. I think they found the most eye-blinding colors and styles they could get, and assumed those represented the decade! I have to disagree! I was there, and saw it in innumerable ways, and wore the stuff myself, and it sure didn't look like the things they showed here!/

I've got 12 "correct answers" in green, with checkmarks, but the score says I only got 11 out of 12!🤔What's up with that?
Anyway, this could be challenging, but the language of the questions make it so you should get all the 70's questions right! Anything described as "groovy" or as "bomb threads" is a dead giveaway!!😎

10/12 I did far better than I should have.

7 out of 12

5 out of 12 Too Rough

6/12 was a little difficult lol

7/12

Not into fashion much

7 out of 12

5/12 ouch! I’m just happy to wear my exciting Duluth workwear! LOL !!

Realizing that Black people were not allowed in any ads before the 70s helps...unfortunately.

8/12

6/12. I was always one decade off. 🥵

A few of the ads from the 50’s and 60’s looked a lot a like. They were hard to tell the difference, especially the bug ties ad.

12/12 If the colors hurt your eyes & cause a gag reflex it's the 70s.

11 of 12 no slack , but i cheated my wife gave me the answers , i would not no 1870 from 1970 in fashion

8/12.

I did pretty good, I got a 10/12. I wish fashions from back then would come back. I like all the groovy, bright, happy neon colors. A lot of people don't like that much color in outfits or really anything anymore but I like to pop and stand out.

I’ll take June Cleaver and her pearls any day.
