The Raiders featuring Paul Revere and Mark Lindsay? Jackie De Shannon "What the World Needs Now Is Love"... A personal favorite of mine...
Dig the Groovy-ness...

**************Grad Nite 1971 ***************
Welcome to Grad Nite 1971! An interesting cover this year, it’s whimsical? I like the half moon and all those smiling grads crammed on Mark Twain. Hey, where’s Waldo?
Linda "Hurts so Bad" Ronstadt! I was a serious Linda Ronstadt fanatic in the ’70's. I still have all her vinyl LP’s (up to the Nelson Riddle album) and I even have the poster of her that was on my wall for years (the roller skates ones). I bet she rocked the park in 1971! Oh yeah, Smokey Robinson and some other folks performed too.
Check out the sun and the bus! Katella Gate, is this the “70's psychedelica” you where talking about on yesterday's post? Or is this (and the cover) just plain wierd?
The Sound Castle Ltd has the Grads Dancing the night away. Does the "dance floor" still have that same pattern? I think it does have some swooping pattern and circles, I'll have to check on my next visit, unless, Daveland - do you know????

Yay...the Carousel of Progress is visible behind Sound Castle!
By the way, The Sound Castle appears on that 1970 episode of The Wonderful World of Disney...the one with the Osmonds. Kurt Russell even sings "Sugar, Sugar" with them.
The Grad Nite posts are awesome Tim. All that music at DL was the best. Thanks!
Just added a Grad Nite 1970 program to today's post, thank you Matterhorn1959!!!!!
So cool to see how Grad Nite changed over the years. And Linda Ronstadt, that's impressive!
What History! These are great! Thanks Tim!
I keep looking for my high school on these, guess the reason they gave us we couldn't go in our year was true - we were banned from Grad Night :(
Thanks for the post and memories! I have the same paraphernalia somewhere as my high school was there either the 17th or 18th. I was working as a sweeper at the time and actually asked for the night off so I could attend my Grad Night.
Love this stuff! I just put a link to this post from my blog since I'm on vacation in NYC and I think my readers will love it's grooviness.
Thanks for sharing!
1971 was my year for Grad Night. I can still hear Linda Ronstadt singing "Only Momma That'll Walk the Line." Her backup band that night was to shortly become a little more famous as the Eagles!
Thanks for the cool posts!
Class of '71 San Gorgonio HS -- I was there!
