HOMECOMING FESTIVITIES BRING FAIRY TALES TO LIFE Old friendships are renewed, memories relived and new addresses and telephone numbers exchanged. These are just a few of the features of a Homecoming celebra- tion at lUP. A Homecoming Carnival on the lawn next to Stapleton Library kicked off the Homecoming festivities. Student organiza- tions set up boothes and foodstands to raise money and to promote themselves. Despite steady drizzle and showers, the annual Homecoming Parade continued as scheduled.

The Homecoming King and Queen ceremony also brightened the day. Kathy Opalisky from Shiremanstown and Dana Caruso from Yardley reigned as this year ' s gueen and king. Kathy reflected, I was thrilled with the honor, but I think my dad was even more excited than I was. Dana said, I was excited, thrilled be- cause it was an honor. There ' s only one king a year and I was him. Kittanning ' s king and queen were Brenda Kaschalk from Mineral Point and Michael F. Monach from Levittown. Joe Bernarding from Pittsburgh and Sally Fer- ree from Wernersville were Punxataw- ney ' s king and queen. The highlight of the weekend was lUP ' s football victory against Clarion. The game secured lUP ' s Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Western Divi- sion title and bolstered the Indian ' s hopes for state conference play. But the true meaning of Homecoming is the reunion of old classmates, and the pas- sage of time that brings about new experi- ences and changes. It is the gathering together of generation after generation of lUP ' s alumni to share their love and re- spect for their school. - Angie Fought
