8) Dear Moderators and alumni:
Anyway we could refresh this post for new and potential students? It might be a way to better explain what life is like when you are an Owl, and a way to explain our school's history.
Thanks,
McOwl (nee' Proudowl)
I "stickied" this topic…great suggestion!

Re: CAMPUS LIFE - now and then
I moved into the notorious algonquin for my freshman year. I remember the painted sidewalks from the sports teams, clubs, frats, & sororities. The trailer convenient store in the middle of the dorms, ran by Sonny. The landscaping was minimal and I remember the parking lots had tie downs from the old airport runways, always thought it was nice to tie my car down during a storm. Hockey in the parking lots. My entire dorm was put up in a hotel for like 3 months due to asbestos.
Sophomore year I moved into the new student apartments, which were nice because they were new, but horribly built, support columns everywhere to keep the walkways up. I worked at the 5th Ave Shops Publix.
Saw the black eyed peas for the yearly halloween bash before they became big. Violent Femmes concert at the student center, everything got tore up.
My senior year I moved off campus to Deerfield.
Soon after that I know they put in all the palm trees, way more new buildings, major transformation.

I do miss the blocks, as a fraternity guy back then, it was always one of our favorite times of the year, the weekend that everyone got together and painted their block.
Also, that Freakers Ball (with the Black Eyed Peas) was really good, oddly enough, I STILL talk about the guy that won the costume contest that year (scientist/radioactive spill drum/guy?) , still the best halloween costume I've ever seen.

Does anyone remember the Sammy's "secret bus parties" organized by Kurt Federow and his bunch?
Where they would take you on the bus, for a modest fee, to an undisclosed location (with the windows blacked out by garbage bags even sometimes) and a myriad of under age drinkers would guzzle tons of cheap keg beer? Usually Natural Lite, or Busch?
i believe one of them actually was at Spanish River Beach, and that went bust early…
it was kind of silly to make it a secret…once you took a ride on the bus, you knew where it was and could call people and tell them…lol
I went to these in High School. I remember one of them being at what appeared to be an abandoned train station. Quite a good night.
