I'm guessing this was c. 1970.
This was when storebought Hallowe'en costumes consisted of a mask designed to restrict vision and breathing, and a suit that said "I am a vampire!".
Don't think my brother uncreative because of his paper bag. His homemade costumes were often much better than mine (almost as good as Travis U's). His best was his Triffid costume.
This must be from the early 70's as we are standing in front of "The Church of Christ"'s building, and we didn't attend there in the 60's.

Yvan Cournoyer winning the Conn Smythe
Tony Esposito, the losing goaltender.
Ken Dryden, the winner.Despite the filenames I've given, I think these pix are from 1974, not '73:
