10 Hom 0? ,Zuni gimme, s Homecoming 1985. Remembering back, Fort Osage had many memories. Memories that could be considered special, outrageous, spirited and at times sorrowful. Memories are not just good feelings, such as the first kiss or the smile on the face of that special someone. It could just as well be the feeling of the tragic loss against Park Hill. Among these memories the Indians ex- perienced was one event: Homecoming, an event that will stay in the minds of everyone that experienced that weekend. Remembering back, memories didn't have to be good, they just had to be shared. , Festivities began at the pep assembly on Friday, October 4, 1985. As a senior, I'll never forget the performance of the 1985-86 Stuffettes, said Sissy Goddard. I think the way Coach Cummings spoke, it made us feel like we could beat Liberty. His speech made Homecoming special, which put everyone in the spirit to win, said Stephanie Kempf, junior. As the parade got underway, people began to step out of the crowd and into the already busy street. FBLA was the winner of a hand-knit blanket. After the hour-long parade, it was off to an early lunch and a 2:00 appointment-the main event--the game. The thought of winning was hoped for by many but expected by few. To win would mean a first in nine years. Halftime added another touch to Homecoming. The candidates were Lisa Fisher, Beth Harrison, Carmen Garrison, jennifer Davis, Leah Griffey, Liz Bolles, Liv Berghagen, Tracy Gorham, Princesses were Missy Holder, Paula Gregory, Michele McGee, Karri Parish. Miss Iennifer Davis was crowned Homecoming Queen for 1985. Also a homecoming princess her freshmen year, Davis plans to attend Northwest Univer- sity in Maryville and major in fashion merchandising. I want to get into a fashion store, buying and selling, said Davis. At 8:00 p.m. the junior high cafeteria doors opened to present a ballroom filled with burundy, pink, white streamers. just enough class to support the needs of ecoming lDawn Lityma dv , fi A the Indians. One and all witnessed a great weekend. The theme for the dance eventually turned into the theme for the whole weekend. A memory was made the weekend of October 5, 1985. That memory will be Cher- ished forever. - All photos that appear on the three preceding pages, courtesy Carmen Garrison, Cliff Carver, Ran- dy Carver, Richi Campbell, Steph- anie Kempf. .Ig L.
