Clairemont High School. TV 8 Action News was on campus to talk to students about a raid that occurred on November 9th. 27 students were arrested-most of them students-on drug charges. San Diego police officers involved in the raid said it was in reaction to numerous complaints from neighbors about “blatant marijuana smoking and malicious vandalism.” A student Gene Gleeson spoke to said “if the police would have come out here and asked the people nicely if they were hurting peoples’ property, and said just to leave you know, we’re not making any arrests-just leave the property and go somewhere else to get stoned, and then maybe the people would have done it.”
Cameron Crowe's debut screenwriting effort, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, grew out of a book he wrote while posing for one year undercover as a student at Clairemont High School in San Diego, California.
I was there... I can be seen at 38 seconds in a red plaid shirt and red T-shirt. The twins at the start of the video (one being interviewed) were my close friends, and still are today. Thanks CBS 8 for posting this, really conjures up some memories!
Awesome to see you all looking so young again. If only we could step back in time for just one day!
Class of ‘88 alum here! Now I can definitely see why Cameron Crowe chose CHS to go to for Fast Times book research! 🤙🏻 💨
2022: Watching this while sitting on my back porch, tokin' on a pre-roll, feeling grateful for having the freedom to toke while sitting on my back porch.
I was a paid member of NORML for years, you are welcome.
@@DiogenesOfCa Thank you! Saved my life. Seriously. I found out I am allergic and sensitive to many foods and chemicals. One being otc and pharmaceuticals. Then medical marijuana became legal. I got off of my handful of toxins (for me) and lit up the flower. The first time I ate because I wanted to, not because I had to (for the pills), felt so amazing. My health is so much better. I still have health issues due to allergies and sensitivities, but I'm no longer wishing I was dead because of pain or feeling so exhausted and sick all the time. The healing is so much easier.
For me, you and everyone throughout history that made this happen are heroes. Saved my life. Thank you
One of the biggest scams ever perpetrated. That a plant is dangerous. Yet let’s cook down these potatoes and get people addicted to booze 🤭.
@@steveb804 Make a better argument than implying that a plant can't be dangerous. If it can't be dangerous just because it's a plant, then go across the street from Clairemont High, down the canyon, and pick some Poison Oak and roll that up and smoke it.
Clairemont never changes, graduated in 2012 and can't say the numerous stories I have going to school there, I could litteraly write a book about it.
Too late Fast Times at Ridgemont High already came out..c’mon Spicoli!
I went to Clairemont High in the 80's💞🌟I'm a Cheiftan for life! Love this video! Thank You for making this.
Great 1973 Fast Times at Clairemont High video!!
My great grandfather Vic Fuentes attended Clairemont!
😭😭
*"All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine."*
I don't recognize anyone in the video.
Are we sure it was 1973?
Yup!
No they got it wrong, it was 1974!
@@ginawest5079 No it's not wrong--see the exact date on the script.
@@ginawest5079 It was the graduating class of June, 1974. But it was in November of that school year, so happened in 1973.
That was my graduating class. The incident was called the Modoc Street Massacre in the school newspaper.
I remember this, graduated 1975, Hoover.
They called it the *Modoc Street Massacre* in the school newspaper the next day.
November, 1973. Class of '74.
My older sister's Velina Fuentes, Lucinda Fuentes and Victoria Fuentes went to Clmt High in the 70's, so did my bother Eddie Tellez after them.
I knew Vicky she was married to Scott Martinez R. I. P.
@@lucianolorenzo8395 Yes, that's my sister💗✨️. Scott was my brother in law(RIP💖), so sad that he's gone. I have a beautiful niece, Scott and Vicky's daughter Angelina💗✨️, who I love w/all my heart.
Ritchie Valens made a visit to Clairemont High the year it opened and he played some songs
I love clips like these that show what was going on years ago. Another one a guy filmed his drive from Portland to 164th in Vancouver WA. Back in the 80s nothing but farmland. Today its all built up
Years ago? Decades LOL
Ah yes, Spicolli is born, many times over it appears...
1:26 wait for it, wait for it, BOOM
This happened 6 years before Cameron Crowe attended Clairemont, kind of strange to connect the two events.
@Clinton Davis I also went to Marston and Clairemont🌟Sounds like you were a few years or so ahead of me.
I got hit and ran over by a truck on Clairemont Mesa Blvd four and a half yrs ago. I've been clean and sober since that day and although the accident left me paralyzed, I walk w/the Lord now🙌✝️.
I guess growing up in Clairemont "the party" never wants to end for some of us. There comes a time when we have to say no to drugs and alcohol. It almost killed me a few times over again. Great news is my left leg is starting to move and doc is putting me back into therapy next week. I'm not givin up the fight! I want to walk again and run at the beach again down there by Diamond and Law St. It will be a blessed day to run and dive right into the ocean again down at Mission, tower 13 by the Plunge or up a bit by Cystal pier🏖💯All God Willing of course🙏
Nostalgic!
Hornets are here ready to cheer!
Alright, alright, alright!
I wish I could have been born during these times
Yeah the economy was way better back then especially in California.
@@julianG1212 And the culture and music was outright beautiful

The Modoc Massacre...
I was wondering if anyone would remember that phrase - The Modoc Massacre... At the time I was going to Madison - because the "Narc's" at Clairmont were disguised as students, the next day...all the new students at Madison were under suspicion of being Narc's...
@@johng4078 I was supposed to go to Madison but got kicked out of Hale and ended up at Marston, which would have fed me into Clairemont High. I ended up at Midway instead so I missed it all. We had two type4s of students at Midway, the smart and artsy that were bored at regular schools, and the hardcore that had been kicked out of every school. I think after Midway was Snyder. Then County jail or state prison. We didn't have to worry about narcs. They knew we were already beyond help. In fact, one field trip we were openly smoking weed on the bus and the teachers didn't say anything...
@@johng4078 My late husband went to Madison. Tony Cornejo Castellano(RIP💗). He was the youngest of ten. Maybe you knew some of his older brothers n sisters..
@@KALComm I went to Marston 1984-86 for 7th n 8th grade then to Clmt since they moved 9th grade to Clmt High that year.
I totally remember Hale Junior High. That's taking it back for sure! I had a some friends that went there. Gdtimes..
I remember hearing about Midway back then too.
I wonder if that place still exist. I know they turned Hale into a Christian Church called Horizon.
@@ChristinaMacDonald777 I believe the Midway campus is still there but the last I saw it was doing extension courses. The good old days...
I work in Clairemont, and most of the locals sound the same, just add forty years and take away the feathered hair lol
Clairemont is a cooky neighborhood, but it’s one of the few that I think still feel almost the same as they did 30-40 years ago. Can’t say the same about places like OB, Golden Hill, Barrio or PB.
PROOF that people aged faster years ago - these high school students look late 20s to me.
But not an overweight person in sight. It could be the preference for long hair and facial hair on men, and the usage of blouses and layers by women. I also feel kids- particularly girls- nowadays, use a lot more skincare and cosmetics than at any other time except perhaps the 1980s.
No wonder we are nostalgic, everyone looked gorgeous, skinny and HIGH. HA! (I was out there 4 years later from CT.)
I can't believe so many poeple watched this!!!
I'm thinking about running for President of The United States of America.
My ASB staff at Clairemont High was pretty darn good if imight say so myself. I'm sure we'd do a much better job than our past Presidents.
Let me know what you think? It's not too late to run.
I endorse this promotion.
You'd have my vote, Bob! :)
And it was all downhill from there.
Funny part was when the newscaster asked about smoking before class. But I can say I always got an AAA grade after lunch when I was in High School. Even better my teachers had an idea, and, a few asked. My answer was notice how quiet I was 😂😂😂😂😂
I remember the district wide drug bust in the 80s..
The games we played.
I watched this go down from across the street at Marston Jr high.I actually became a cop.And found more important things
to do than MJ calls.Sorry facts of life and taxpayers money.
CAUSE I WAS SAVING MYSELF FOR YOU~
hi
Class of '76
The incident (the Modoc Street Massacre) was class of '74.
should have expelled all the spicollis. getting stoned before school starts, just drop out and go to the beach.
How come high schooler back then look wayyyyyy older. Like mid to late 20s???? Must be the food and all that free sex and drugs.
1973,, that's crazy. Weird to see that people were more or less the same as today.. perhaps even a bit more articulate and sharper? I take it this was when life was good and technology hadn't ruined everything. lol.
