* VagueTimeFrame: The movie is set 15 years after graduation. Assuming it takes place in its release year of 1990,which is supported internally,then Archie and his friends were the Class of 1975. However,a newspaper at one point clearly reads 1987, so if no mistake was made then Archie would’ve been Class of 1972.
