The Linton Drive In opened in 1948. Sound was provided by two very large speakers on each side of the screen. In 1950 a tornado destroyed the screen and a new one was built. In 1952 the two large speakers were replaced with individual in the car speakers.
The drive In was operated for half a century by the same man and at the time of closing it was the oldest and longest running Drive In Theater in Indiana.

Comment: Are there any pictures of the Canteen around????
We have 2 or 3 which are not of good quaility, we'll publish them if we can find them.
2 were taken after you graduated but the people working may be the same which was Margie Riley & Pops Fitzpatrick.
We are looking for pics of the old Klusmeier's Drive-in or when it was still Ziglers Drive-in If anyone has one. Admin.

Comment: Wow!! This is just wonderful to have. I went to College Hill School grades 1 thru 6. Wonder if there is ever a College Hill reunion? I can not remember the (9)Southern Hotel or (5)Bowling Alley between Murphy's and Briggs Buick. Again, THANKS
Not knowing where the Southern Hotel was is a good thing...it didn't have the best of reputations. The Bowling Ally was upstairs across from Mullis's Barber shop near the Cozy Corner Tavern. Never heard of a College Hill Reunion but if we do we'll let you know
