VIDEO: Class of 1981

This week's flashbacks goes back 31 years.

As the school year inches toward the end, high school seniors are waiting for their yearbooks.

Well, a video on YouTube -- which was apparently uploaded by a mystery person called "rvaillancourt" -- has a slideshow of the 1981 yearbook. So of course, it had to be shared on Patch.

Ronald Reagan was the nation's new president, almost as popular as Pac-Man. Microsoft released a new thing called DOS. Olivia Newton-John got physical, David Bowie was under a lot of pressure and there were rumblings about a new thing called MTV. And these students got ready to graduate.
