Shine On Shine On Autumn Leaf What is it about Clarion ' s Autumn Leat Festival that tears the University ' s stu- dents from their dorms, apartments, houses, and has them toresaking school- work and normal routine lite on that week- end? Maybe it ' s the crowds, the football game, the crafts and exhibits? Maybe it ' s the knowledge that winter is coming and everyone is grasping for a final chance to enjoy themselves before cold weather turns everyone indoors? Maybe it ' s the ALF parade (after all, everyone loves a parade!)? Whatever it is, the week of Autumn Leaf is sparkled with anticipation and ex- citement. And 1986 ' s was by no means disappointing. It marked the 100th anni- versary of education here in Clarion. ALF was a time for alumni and students, facul- ty, friends, and relatives to set aside what they were doing and marvel at all of the activities; find out that there really was something for everyone during the week of Autumn Leaf. The halftime festivities at Clarion ' s Homecoming saw Lisa Byrne crowned as the new Homecoming Queen. The queen and her court, full of smiling young wom- en, made up the prettiest float in the ALF parade. There were also Greek floats, bands and bike squads, clowns, and many other attractions greeting the thou- sands of people lining Main Street for the event. ALF is a celebrated event that comes along only once a year, but the memories are held fondly until the next — when the fiery leaves and chilling air signal yet an- other year of the Autumn Leaf. -Kelley Broadhurst A day for, perhaps, future Golden Girls to show off their skill before the crowds. Halftime festivities of the Homecom- ing game saw Lisa Byrne crowned 1986 Homecoming Queen; her escort. John Schwerzler. A pretty Homecoming Court en- joyed a slow ride down Mam Street waving to supportive family and friends Paula Huffman 16
