Senior Week, Day 1

The Surf, Nantasket Beach, was a regular, including for Senior Week 1968. Sub Turri photo

Today was the first day of Senior “Week” in 1968. Classmates kicked off the festivities on that Thursday at the Surf Ballroom in Nantasket. Three musical groups — “The Nine Lords,” “The Happenings,” and Dick Madison’s “Tijuana Brass Band” — entertained.

Tickets for the event, which ran from 8 pm to 1 am, were $5 a couple.

Did you go? Any memories, recollections?

Here’s a gallery of photos taken at the Surf and published in the spring supplement to the 1968 Sub Turri. If you have identifications for people in the photos, please let me know.
