. , And The Winner Is . . , s the hills of Clarion brighten in shades of red and gold, as students begin to steal off into town with a briskness of step and return with a smile in their eyes, as friends and aiumni begin to pour into the town, what else but anoth- er Autumn Leaf Festival could be coming to town?! ALF ' 85 arrived in Clarion with all this autumnal trimming and more. The theme, Clarion Salutes Miss Lib- erty, was sung out by downtown store windows, campus banners, and a multitude of festival memora- bilia. For one October week, ALF became a way of life here in Clarion. As tradition has it, the festival was staged in downtown Clarion. The dozens upon dozens of residents and visitors found Main Street flanked with numerous arts and crafts exhibitions, farmers selling fresh autumn vegetables, and ven- dors cooking everything from the all-American steak sandwich to an assortment of Chinese delights. Further down Main Street, howev- er, was where the heart of the festi- val lay. As the lighted Ferris wheel traveled through the night sky and the aroma of cotton candy filled the air, it was here at the carnival where people of all ages gathered in excitement. The melodies of the carousel rang out above the crowds OS did the ramming of bumper cars. And as is the case with every carnival, there were gomes being played, prizes being won, and lines forming for caramel apples, trench waffles, and warm apple dumplings. 28 Homecoming Kristin Grine smiies as she is crowned Home- coming Queen.

' s own Homecoming, As leaves fell from overhead and eager fans anticipated the day of football to come, thousands of spectators lined Main Street to enjoy the sounds of bands, marvel at the performance of the Zem Zem bike squads, and cheer for their favorite Greek float. The 1985 Homecoming Queen, Kristin Grine, was crowned during the halftime festivities at the foot- ball game against Slippery Rock University. The Homecoming Court included seniors Pom Fin- nerty and Laurie Beightol; juniors Lisa Byrne and Jennifer Faust; sophomores Cathy Weilond, Kelly Kline, and Derita Clark; and fresh- men Christine Recce, Dovie Pow- ell, and Wendy Holowell. The queen and her court were select- ed by the students of C.U.P. Thus, ALF ' 85 offered activities for everyone. Most unique, how- ever, was the atmosphere brought to Clarion by all the Au- tumn Leaf festivities. It was an at- mosphere of fun, excitement, and relaxation. ALF was a time for partying with friends, for families to visit, and for alumni to return and reminisce. ALF was one week out of the year when classes and jobs were temporarily robbed of attention, when the community and its friends let loose and en- joyed. ALF was a time when memories were created — mem- ories which will last a lifetime. -Lisa Dean Donna Uotus
