My sister graduated from a traditional, small town (Franklin) high school in 1974.  Yet if you look at her yearbook you would a lot of the class was headed to a commune.

Just like all the "gangstas" we see roaming the malls.

My sister also graduated in 1974 and I can identify with what you are describing with the dress at that time. But the world had changed quite a bit by 1974. The Pentagon Papers were published and the Watergate trial was underway. I'm focusing on six years earlier, when Nixon won the largest landslide election ever. It was almost a totally different world at that time.
