The Teen Disco


Kwaj080.jpg

This collection depicts the ill-fated "teen disco" that was set up in 1976 using the building next to the Teen Center. It was open only a short time before someone vandalized some of the chair cushions and the facility was shut down. It never reopened, at least not while I was still on-island.
