Friday, April 27, 1962: 'Where The Boys Went'

Nearly a year and a half after the movie "Where The Boys Are" helped made Florida beaches a spring break destination for thousands of college students, the NBC network broadcasts a half-hour report about Daytona Beach. Said NBC newsman Chet Huntley: "Our crew, after spending two weeks with them, found they drank prodigious amounts of beer and danced the Twist interminably day and night. Neither of these appeals to older eyes as a particularly aesthetic activity but neither is especially shocking."
