11 ! REACH THE BEACH What did spring, warm weather, and sunshine mean to Furman students? For many, it meant House Party, and when warm weather rolled around after a cold, snowy winter. Furman students headed for the beach. Some students who made the trip to Myrtle Beach went with social clubs and fraternities that were having the final group function of the year before exams. House Party gave these groups of sisters and brothers the opportunity to socialize in a different and relaxing environment. Beach weekend was also enjoyed by students who went in their own independent groups. Most people arrived at the beach on Friday. It was raining, and some people were a little discouraged, noted Emily Huggins. But Saturday, it was beautiful. And Furman students took advantage of the good weather. Some swam in the surf, some sunbathed, and others threw frisbee or played football on the sand. As one student remarked. “We took over the beach. In the evening, a few groups had organized events. The Brothers in Eternity held a poolside dance at their hotel on Friday night. The brothers of Phi Mu Alpha sang on Saturday night, and the Centaurs had cookouts on both nights. Students also frequented favorite places such as Crazy Zack’s, the amusement park, and some of the many seafood restaurants nearby. Whatever students chose to do at the beach, beach weekend was a wonderful getaway from the daily routine of books, tests, and other school concerns. The weekend allowed students to take a long awaited break before the rigor of final exams. Students delighted in the sunshine, sand, and surf on the beach, as well as being with their friends. The fun and relaxation of the beach weekend left long-lasting impressions and enduring memories in the minds of many Furman students. Brian Black, Zsne Letden, and Jan Ingold fall all over themselves to impress the photographer at TKE House Party. BEACH WEEKEND 13
