MODELS OPEN 11 TO 5 OAIIT Staff photo by Mtl Kenyoit Summerfield 'Harbors9 A Different World: Near, But So Far From City Life Almost everyone harbors a dream to climb about a sailing boat his own sailing boat and sail off to Tahiti or Bora Bora or Pago Pago. For most people It never gets beyond the dreaming stage.

Roughly 50 people living away from the hustle and bustle of Fort Lauderdale have achieved this dream. They live on their boats in the Summerfleld Boat Works. These are people with diverse back-' grounds and political beliefs with only their strong individualism and love of boats in common. Somehow they all live together in harmony. Quiet Haven Is 'Heaven' For Boatsmen secretary of the American Friends Service Committee, a Quaker peace group.

"There are people here who strongly disagree with what I'm doing," Herrick said. "They don't hate me. They understand me. They may think I'm a bid odd." A man who lives at the yard told Herrick, "I don't live in Fort Lauderdale. I live in Summerfield." The statement is accurate.

Sears By STEFFI COOPER Staff Writer Tucked behind a barrier of trees and quiet residential streets off Davie Boulevard is another world. It's as far removed from Fort Lauderdale and ing communities as if it were thousands of miles away. Residents make few forays into "town." They prefer their own world, quiet, simple, relatively free from society's pressures, and a safe harbor. Summerfield Boat Works at 1500 SW 17th Fort Lauderdale, has been around for a long time. Roughly 50 persons live on their boats in the yard people with diverse backgrounds and political beliefs with only their strong individualism and love of boats in common.

IN HARMONY Somehow they all live together in harmony. Scott Herrick has lived in the Summerfield yard for about eight years. For the past five years he has been making trips to Cuba in his efforts to affect world peace and understanding among peoples. This activity is illegal, but Herrick is a man of purpose and principle. He is the Miami Hollywood proudly presents its 1972-73 edition of South Florida 's most prestigious High School Fashion Board They are your personal representatives on Sears fa--mbus Fashion Board.

Visit them in the Young Junior's Shop at your neighborhood Sears Store. They have all the inside information on "what's right" in Teen Fashions for school or dates. Summerfield is nothing like Fort Lauderdale. Besides existing in the physical plane, Summerfield is a state of a mind. "Most people who live on boats are, at heart, consciously or unconsciously, anarchists," Herrick said.

"They want to be their own president and secretary of state." Living on boats simplifies things for many people. There is the assurance that they, as master of their craft, won't be replaced by a couplo of transistors or a computer. Many of the people who work in the yard live aboard their own boats docked there. In the evening after work is through, charcoal cracks in hibachis and the sizzle of meat fills the air, pop tops Sean Coral Gables Mary Hill Not High pop and neighbors stroll by.

MUSIC BLARES From one boat tied up under a shed, rock and roil music blares at the kneecaps of people who walk by. Another boat rocks gently as two men use it as a bridge from their boat to the sea wall. At night the sounds change to cooking and conversation and the twice nightly passing of the Judge Queen. "These people all get along," said Red Koch whose aluminum tug Hero stands near the entrance to Summer-field.

People the yard vary from super-straight to hippy he said. Many of the people who live in the yard also work at Summerfield. "The people who have these boats, for the most part, their occupations are a means to an end," Koch said. "Boating is their life." Many of the live-on sailors take off for a few months each year and cruise the islands, and when they come back their jobs are waiting. "It works out very nicely in the yard," said Koch.

"It's more like a club than a boat yard and it's a pleasant place to work."

In a letter to Supt. William Drainer, CTA President Frank Theriaut said he be-: lieves the committee is an "excellent idea," but also says he feels "you should consider placing a teacher on this committee." Drainer named the committee a week ago and put the following people on it: Dr. Harry McComb, Dr.

William McFatter, Hal Jackson, associate superintendents; Dr. Neil Keaton, area superin-tendent; Wilbur Marshall, director of instruction and curriculum development; Edgar Elder, Middle School principal, and Mrs. G. Harned, president of the Broward County Council of PTAs. Theriault said he believes CTA representation would "allow the group a broader perspective in interviewing."
