M facts, Inde endence is the home of Harry S. Truman, the 33rd President of the United States. The Truman Home, built in 1867, has been named a National Historic Place and was opened to the public May 12, 1984. The Tru- man Home is just one of many tourist attrac- tions that bare the Truman name. I think the Truman Home makes Inde endence stand out because it's an attraction Ear tourists. I think that people in Independence should not take it for granted. Everyone should take time to visit the Truman Home, said Sue Ellen Iayne, sen- ior. Vicki Looney, senior, said, The Truman Home is a neat attraction for Independence. It's something tourists want to see when they are sight-seeing and the people who live in In- dependence can be proud to say that President Truman lived here. There are many scenic places that have gone unmentioned. A few include old Fort Osage in Sibley, Missouri, the Truman Library, the Vaille Mansion and the Independence Square. If there is ever a day when one can find nothing to do, one can go and ex lore the legends that have been made andp let this prepare one for legends in the making.

The days included punk rock day, hawaiian day, western day, op- posite sex day, and sportsfred and white day. At the end of the week, those students received awards for the best costume on each designated day at the pep assembly. The parade and bonfire held at 1-ieisler Park in Buckner managed to be an overwhelming experience as decorated cars, trucks, and floats pgourneyed their way down Main bireet.

The enthusiasm and excitement of students radiated down the halls as they raced toward the gym for the pep assembly to watch the Stuffettes perform and to hear the pep talk from Coach Vanarsdall about the game that night. Students left the gym feeling closer and confident of the school spirit. As the night came, one could hear the sound of footballs being kicked, the band playing, and students anx- iously awaiting the kickoff of the game.
