 AlburnAfe Houseparty, Auburn's rites of spring, had become one of the University’s most loved traditions. The 1987 celebration was no exception. In May students converged on the sometimes not-so-sunny beaches of Panama City, Florida for a fun filled weekend of pure party. Greeks and independents alike headed to Panama City beach for three days filled with beer and bathing suits. Students spent the hours playing on the beach. Whether it was renting a watercyle, sailing on the ocean, parasailing, or just socalizing with friends, everyone had a blast. The afternoons usually found some of the more rambuntious students in the beachside bars participating in such events as wet tee-shirt or best tan contests. While the early evenings were generally the more tamer times as many of the sunburned crowd were resting up for the events to come. The real party started after dark as thousands flocked down from their hotel rooms to the beach in front of the Holiday Inn to party the night away. Houseparty was the one event that you would never forget. Whether it was the friends you went with or the ones that you made there, you would always be able to laugh over all those Panama City memories, often times some of the most embarassing of your life. Houseparty provided students with a spring get away before it was time to buckle down for exams. For others it was a way to get away from the sometimes boring nightlife of Auburn. Whether it was a freshman’s first major roadtrip or the final blowout for a graduating senior, houseparty definitly lived up to everyone’s expectations HOUSE PARTY Even Aubic enjoyed the rest and relaxation at Panama City during House Party. He and hundreds of students traveled lour hours to take part in the weekend of parties.
