Dur- ing summer, students flocked to the beaches led to the subconscious divisions of the beach into three separate re- gions: Way Up North Beach The area up north past Mandaly Towers S eparate | hores each regions provide individual atmospheres to maintain a healthy suntan and socialize. However, not all areas of the beach looked the same. The various crowds that patronized the beach eventually to Carlouel Yacht Club wasn’t exactly an abundance of activity. In between the handful of homeowners and se- nior citizens scattered along the area, a few 1 4 Beach student sunbathers could be found. These students preferred to avoid the crowds, noise, and small chil- dren feeding seagulls that came along with the more southern beaches. North Beach Traveling south to the Palm Pavillion area, one would en- counter North Beach. This area contained a great deal more people than the Way Up North Beach region; however, North Beach crowds consisted primarily of tourists and their chil- dren. Teens who fre- quented the area en- joyed the convenience of nearby concession stands and parking fa- cilities. North Beach was particularly beau- tiful at sunset after crowds departed leav- ing the shores practi- cally empty and ideal for early evening pic- nics. Skim-boarders preferred the scene for its low, flat water sur- face and made practice a ritual throughout summer. “It’s not too crowded, but there’s just about always enough people there that you’ll know some- one,” said Jody Carden. South Beach If loud music and loads of familiar faces tickled one’s fancy, chances are he’d in- habit South Beach. The strip of land in front of the Holiday Inn Surf- side down past Pier 60 not only attracted tour- ists from nearby hotels but also drew an im- mense high school crowd. During spring break, the area was crawling with college students. By far the most active region of the beach, balls from the paddle game, Ka- dima, whirled through the air, radios blared, and students socialized around the pier. “It’s a social event in itself,” said Jennifer Traum. In a strange sort of way, the regions of the beach reflected the personality or mood of the students that pa- tronized them. While the radically modest tended to head way up north, the socialites preferred the south beach. To prevent any monotony, many vis- ited different areas and spent a majority of their time walking the beach. Whichever re- gion one chose to soak up the sun in, he could be sure to enjoy one ol the most beautifu beaches in Florida.

by Carrie McLaren T he last place anyone wanted to be on a Fri- day afternoon was sit- ting behind a wooden desk listening to a slowly greying, knowl- edgeable adult carrying on endlessly about the importance of the mito- chondrion in the organ- ic world. But when the 2:34 bell finally rang, its music enticed the school-sick into a chal- lenge of a different sort: how to spend their evening. During their seasons, football and basketball games drew a huge crowd who came to re- lieve themselves from the stress of classroom silence and move the ground below with their roars. After games, the crowds tended towards the beach. Groups as- sembled in front of the Holiday Inn Surfside and north along Man- dalay Ave. to Crystal Palace to socialize and meet others. “It could be a lot better if there weren’t police officers around arresting ev- eryone,” observed Paul Lowes. Often times, stu- dents preferred to do something aside from the generic evening ac- tivities. During fall, a group of upperclass- men including Scott Flesch, John Marshall, Andy Burwell, Brad Long, Tony Simotes, Canon Coleman, and Danny Martucci jour- neyed to Tampa airport to greet incoming trav- elers, ride trams, and annoy ticket clerks. Paul Larson, an airport fanatic, has also found the site to be a place for amusement. “I love it when you go through the metal detector and the beeper goes off,” said Paul. “Everyone looks at you like you ' re a communist hijacker.” Those who preferred to spend their evening hours dancing often pa- tronized Skyfeathers, a local teen nightclub. The three room ware- house attracted mainly a new wave crowd who congregated primarily due to similar interests. Students who opted to dance but disliked the atmosphere at Sky- feathers were left with few outlets. Occasion- ally, dance bands per- formed nearby con- certs, but teens couldn’t depend on them as a regular activ- ity. As a result, they de- pended on school dances, parties, and their own innovations. “Some girlfriends and I were coming back across the causeway from the beach,” relat- ed Wendy Marich, when we decided that we HAD to dance. It was too late to go any- where so we pulled movies, and restau- rants, played an impor- tant part in nightlife for the students. Most agreed, however, that the most memorable times were spontane- As the sun goes down, the quest for fun begins into the Maas Brothers parking lot, blared the radio, and danced on the car through several songs. We must have looked ridiculous, but I had a great time.” As usual, parties, ous and unique ones. “After a great week- end, I depended on the weekdays to relax, M said Julie Case. And, after all, isn’t that the way it should have been? During football games, the crowds are famous for their rowdiness, particularly at the south end of the stadium. M You can see the E section all the way from the opposite end of the field, said one band auxiliary. T. Deifell Nightlife 13 As the night progresses, stu- dents often migrate to the beach. Scott Powell and Paul Dombrowski gather in front of Crystal Palace with friends. For musical enjoyment, dancing, or both, concerts provide popular evening en- tertainment.
