With yellow ribbons ond Americon flogs very much in evidence, one knew this yeor wos no ordinory opening Convocotion. Certoinly mony of the moin chorocters remoin- ed the some. The foculty wore their ocodemic regolio. Dr. Kingsley spoke. Yotes Medollions were presented. Whot set Opening Convocotion 1985 oport from oll others? The story reolly begon in June when o TWA flight wos hUocked to Beirut, Lebonon, bringing Americo's collec- tive ottention to the hostoge situotion once ogoin. John Testroke, o Richmond notive, piloted the TWA flight ond proved to be o strong leoder ot o time when lesser men would hove been content to merely go with the flow. But Beirut ond Liberty ore foirly distont from eoch other? Why the connection? Why the yellow ribbons remembering the Americons still held coptive overseos? Why the red, white, ond blue flogs woving goily during the ceremony which officiolly begon the 1985-86 ocodemic yeor? The link lies in the person of Coptoin Testroke. Presented with the other honorees, Testroke wos evidence of the vic- tory thot communicotion, understonding ond proyer con hove over oll thot is frightening in the world. Agoin, os in other yeors, Dr. Kingsley set the tone for the yeor in his opening messoge. Inch by inch become com- mon words on compus os students ond foculty olike strove to reoch the stondords set by Williom Jewell. We were helped olong the woy by the red Leorning L's reminding us we ore oll in it together. y - Beth Spicer T 4 , i : i 1 i T i t .

Saturday Morning Review, students remembered hours spent with Winnie or Bugs. This year's quad gomes were highly competitive. Each pair of organizations came together with enthusiasm to battle for the first place honor. Sonya Richardson Thomas, a member of the Homecoming Committee, said, The games on Friday, dur- ing Fall Break, brought the school together as a whole. For campus sing, each team again brought their Cardinal Spirit to the competition. Wearing red and black, the groups sang songs and chants that reminded them of Saturday car- toons. The Lambda Chi's and the Alpha Gam's took first place in Campus sing and first place in Quad games to place them in the top position for the Stocksdale Trophy. The highlight of the week was ofcourse the parade on Satur- day morning. Students, professors, and alumni lined the leaf- littered streets of Liberty tolwatch the colorful floats depicting their favorite Disney characters. Other participants in the parade were the cheerleaders and yell leaders, various com- munity groups, Homecoming Queen candidates and the 1984 queen, Jody Jensen Starner. During half-time of the game, Lori Andersen, senior psychologyfreligion major was crowned 1985 Homecoming Queen. Lori represented the women of Alpha Delta Pi. Also crowned were attendants Gayle Jennings QAISQ and Sheli Petrie CAGDQ. 1 - Beth Spicer A Above: WJC Cheerleaders and Yell leaders throw candy to onlookers in the parade. l 1 'I 'll 1 1 ' 1 :mf l 5 N, qi if ..
