Class of 1965… According to Billboard Magazine, there were 107 number one hits from the day after Labor Day 1960 through Friday, June 23, 1965...the end of our time at RHS.
The top group of the 1960's was the Beatles. Elvis was #2 and the Supremes #3. Elvis' "It's Now or Never"was #1 when we first walked through the RHS's "secondary doors”. The Byrds' "Mr. Tambourine Man" was #1, the last time we walked out the "main door" and down the "Senior Steps" as RHS Seniors.
The biggest hit of our graduation summer of '65 were The Rolling Stones' "I Can't Get NoSatisfaction." It topped the chart for four weeks until Herman's Hermits' "I'm Henry VIII" knocked it off the top slot. It was followed by number #1's in The Four Tops' "I Can't Help Myself," Sonny & Cher's "I Got You Babe," and the Beatles' "Help!"
In September of 1965, we went off to work, college or into the military to Barry McGuire's #1 hit, "Eve of Destruction." All that protesting stuff eventually led to the Kent State University massacre...the subject of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young's" (Four Dead in) in “Ohio."The lyric began with "Tin soldiers and Nixon's coming...”
