Was it Kathleen Quinlan? I'm pretty sure that was her first credited movie role. She was one of girls at the dance hop. I always had a crush on her. I was surprised somewhat when she was in The Doors movie and did a quick topless scene.
What was neat about AG was it had multiple plot lines. You had Richard Dreyfuss, which this film help launch his career, trying to remember the good times before he goes off to college and is sidetracked by the blonde in the T-Bird (who was Suzanne Somers in one of her early roles). That was obviously the main story, but there was many other things going on during the night, it was more than just a buddy film.
What gets overlooked is the band playing at the school hop, Flash Cadillac who went to have a fairly successful career keeping this music alive. I believe they are still playing shows to this day.
