broadcaster240 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Thought this might be of interest to Bluebirds fans. Found the pic in the February, 1956 edition of the KHSAA's publication "The Athlete." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broadcaster240 Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 Well phooey; that didn't come out as clearly as I had hoped. Not sure how to clean it up. The script at the bottom of first picture said, "Dedicatory exercises, honoring Mr. Bridges, were held in the Highlands H.S Gym January 15 (1956.) Bottom of the second pic, "The basement recreation room is used for student activities during the day and by the teen-age canteen and other groups on weekends and for special evening programs."

Anybody know what the teen-age canteen was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broadcaster240 Posted July 29, 2017 Author Share Posted July 29, 2017 That's what we used to call a "snack bar" where I come from. Any of you guys know if one this is different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what it was in 50's but in the 80's, the Canteen was moved to the Armory and it was kind of a recreational hall for teens. One part had a DJ and dancing, the rest was fooseball, pool, bowling etc. A place for the students to hang out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldercoach Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Canteen in '60's was simply a hangout for teens, with jukebox, jitterbugging, and sodas. Good memories for this dinosaur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAC Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Side note for Highlands fans! Saw a book on highlands football at Walgreens in Alexandria the other day. It was marked down to $1.50. 2 or 3 were left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FRONT OF THE RIM Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Canteen in '60's was simply a hangout for teens, with jukebox, jitterbugging, and sodas. Good memories for this dinosaur. I remember it was on Friday night and open only to Ft. Thomas residents. BUT, an outsider could get in if they could a resident to "get you in" by going in with you. I think the cost was a quarter. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldercoach Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Yep! I was one of those outsiders that was fortunate to have a dates with one of those Ft. Thomas cheerleaders. She sure could dance. Had a ball with all the guys I knew from competing against them. I always felt welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
