The first of September, in 1917, eighty-two badly frightened, knowledge seeking wanderers strayed up the hill to A. H. S. We entered with mouths open, fearing even the kindly looks of Mr. Pate and Mr. Crawford. We soon recovered our fright and after regaining our usual self composure elected our class officers. President .............................................John Shreiner Vice President .....................................William Cotant Secretary and Treasurer......................Fima Calder Spud Rep.....................................Marie Howe Sponsor .....................................Miss Canfield In all enterprises which we entered we were very successful hut we were certainly glad when our first year of A. H. S. was completed. ACT TWO. The next year we came back smaller in numbers but more determined to gain the rest of the knowledge of A. H. S. in one year, that we might rest the last two years. We elected the following class officers who successfully filled their offices: President ...................................Wanda Adams Vice President ..............................James Fowler Secretary and Treasurer......................William Cotant Spud Rep..................................Helen Anderson Sponsor .....................:............Mr. Messersmith At the close of this year we felt the hardest part of school life successfully over. ACT THREE. In 1919 only 48 of us entered A. H. S. but we were so filled with knowledge that we successfully occupied the Junior rows. We however, did not feel as we did at the close of our Sophomore career, that we knew everything. We were only beginning to realize how much de did not know. Our offfficers were: President ...................................Mary W ool is Vice President ..............................Helen Young Secretary and Treasurer.........................Marie Howe Spud Rep..................................W’illiam Cotant Sponsor ..................................Mr. Messersmith Our banquet was one of the most elaborate A. H. S. had ever given and we will alwavs remember it. ACT FOUR. The curtain now rises on 36 Seniors who are duly proud of their position in the honored two north rows in the A. II. S. assembly. After electing these officers:— President .......................................Tom Miller Vice President............................William Williams Secretary and Treasurer ..................Dorothy Reynolds Spud Rep..................................Elizabeth Wilson Sponsor ..................................Mr. Cunningham —we were ready to settle down to rest, but our rest has been interrupted. A picnic at Harris grove and a parly in the gymnasium for the Sidney boys first broke our rest. In all A. H. S. activities the class of ’21 has been well represented and these interrupted our rest. Our class plays both as Juniors and Seniors were very successful. Although we will soon leave the stage of Alliance school life we will never forget four of the happiest years of our lives. May those who follow enjoy it as we have. CURTAIN.The Sped Pace 21 wAt the End of the Rainbou?

The Spud Junior Notes Pace 26 The Freshman class of 1919 entered the A. H. S. with the same feeling as most of the Freshman. We were enrolled with 60 members hut our numbers made up for the lack of courage. Vie had a class meeting in the assembly (a room willed to the Freshies) and elected Miss Beal sponsor and the following officers: President, W ard Joder; Vice President, Lee Strong; Secretary and Treasur- er, Helen Siedell: Spud Reporter. Edward Morrow. Since the Seniors were our guardian angels we did not make many mistakes. After becoming sufficiently acquainted it was decided we have a masquerade box social in the high school gymnasium. The upper-classmen tried to break it up but since they could not we had a very enjoyable time. After nearly a year’s hard work was over the Freshmen then decided to have a weinee roast out six miles from town. We toasted our supper, fingers, and faces, then played games until a late hour. Finally our Freshman year ended and we passed on as dignified Sophomores. We entered the Sophomore year with some new members and some old ones missing. This year our class officers were as follows: President Elsie Gillis; Vice President, Vera Smith; Secretary and Treasurer, Mariellen Beagle; Athletic Reporter, Cecil Beal; Spud Reporter, Oral Edwards. We held a party in the “Gym" which was counted as one of the good times of the A. H. S. We spent a very happy year on the south side of the assembly. Our last Sophomore party was held in company with the Freshmen where numbers made us have a very good time This year we took up the responsibilities as Juniors with the smallest class in High school only 25. Being small in numbers we had to work all the harder to keep even with the other classes. Wre chose the play “Patty Makes Things Hum” and gave it April 15 at the Imperial theater. W e succeeded in getting enough money from our play to give the Seniors a banquet and will do our best to make as good a success of it as the play but we will let the Seniors judge us as they are our 66 • 9 superiors. Mr. Prince, impressively—“The money must go through Mr. Pate’s office first.” Excited student—“I’ll carry it through.” Mrs. Frank C. P.—“I saved the money to buy this dress, darling.” Mr. F. C. P.—“How did you do it, precious?” Mrs. F. C. P.—“Why I bought it with the money you gave me to pay the grocery bill and charged the grocery bill.” Chas. C.—“Would you like to hear me sing ‘All Through the Lovely Night’?” Katy H.—“No thanks. All callers leave at midnight.” « ft • “W hat makes history so hard. Miss White?” “Why, you see, first there was the stone age, then the bronze, then the iron and now' there’s the hard-boiled.” Mrs. Dotson—“Clement, don’t you know I told you not to play with your soldiers on Sunday?” Doc—“Yes, mamma. But today they’re the Salvation Army.”ThkSpvd J unioT Sen.ior Banquet Pace 27 The Junior-Senior banquet was held in the Fern room of the Alliance hotel, on the evening of May 9th. The room was made to represent a Japanese tea garden, carrying out the colors of pink and green. The tables were profusely decorated with pink roses, the Senior’s flower. Promptly at 8 o’clock the programme began which was as follows: Toastmaster ..... Greetings to 1921 Reply ........... Current Opinion The Spectator ... Success ......... World’s W ork The Outlook ..... Edward Morrow Mariellen Beagle ......Tom Miller .....Leota Becker Mr. Pate ....Mary Wool is Mr. Cunningham ...Sterling Harris During the programme the banquet was served which consisted of Fruit Cocktail Fried Spring Chicken Mashed Potatoes Celery Hearts Tiny Peas in Cases Hot Rolls Head Lettuce with Thousand Island Dressing Fruit Sundae Maccroons Coffee Mints Tell me not in mournful numbers Life is but an empty dream, When you wake from peaceful slumbers And curse the pickles and ice cream. Little bits of satin Half an ounce or less, W ith a pair of slippers Makes an evening dress.The Spud Pace 28 V f fJ ii fH r?p »h-» i The Sm Pace 29The Spud Page 30The Spld Pace 31 Class of 1923 Chapter One. W hen we started in high school we were as all other Freshmen, polite, scared, and green. When the dear Seniors patted us on the head we rejoiced for weeks. When the all wise Juniors bestowed upon us a smile or the Sophies gave us advice as to the exact location of the classrooms we felt that we were indeed a part of the big high school family. But gradually we discovered that the Seniors were not so awesome. When the Juniors addressed us with sarcasm, we learned to give back their sarcasm, doubled. The Sophomores, we regarded as beings beneath our recognition. We were all very excited about our first party, held at Purington’s grove. Despite the unsuccessful efforts of the upper classmen to leave us stranded in the grove with the eats among the absentees we had a very enoyable time. About Christmas we presented in front of a grinning assembly a program enjoyed by all. Christmas presents were fittingly distributed among the spectators and a large powder puff was donated to Mr. Prince. Near the end of the year we gave another program in which the kitchen Syniphony rendered a few beautiful musical numbers. Our second party was held in the gymnasium and was also a decided success. We now realized with gravity, that the time was approaching when we would no longer be Freshmen. W hen we must throw off our childish ways and deport ourselves in the manner of all dignified Sohphomores. Chapter Two. The time has come when we must add the second chapter to our class chronicle. How long it seems since we were mere Freshmen. With solemn manner we first sought our places in the assembly, no longer as Freshies hut as upperclassmen. Our first classmeeting, Miss White was elected sponsor and the following officers chosen: Frances Schott ......................................President Flora Spencer ................................. Vice President Josephine Wilson......................Secretary and Treasurer Rowland Threlkeld .........................Spud Representative Seth Joder ............................Athletic Representative Only one party was held this year in the gymnasium. Mr. Prince took all the prizes simply because he could argue the winners out of them. Not all of our class has stayed with us. Several, we regret to say, so loved the life of a Freshman that they remained, and are now members of the class of '24. Said Prof. Chase to a waitress bold. “See here young woman, my cocoa’s cold" She scornfully answered, “I can’t help that. If the darned things chilly, put on your hat. ' One hundred years ago When wilderness was king With powder in his gun, the man Went out to hunt a deer. But nowf the thing is changed And on another plan, With powder on her face, the dear Goes out to hunt a man. Fred—“I’m going to kiss you when I leave.’’ Verna (angrily)—“How dare you! Leave this house at once!”The Spud Pace 32FRESHMAN CLASS The Spud Page 33The Spud Freshmen Holes Page 34 With the spring comes the close of another school year, a year filled with work and pleasure, with lessons learned and friendships made stronger. This is how we, the Freshmen feel about the year just passed. Our first in the A. H. S. and we are eagerly looking forward to the next three years of high school life as upper classmen to he equally if not more enjoyable. Why do we have to go to school? f rom the little boy in the thrid grade who would rather stay home and fly his kite to the young man in high school who thinks he would he better working with his hands and earning money, ail make the same complaint: “I don’t see what good school will do me. I’ll never have any use for Latin or Geometerv, or Algebra after graduating.” But they are wrong. It has been proved that our minds need the training derived from studying these given tasks and our brains need the development. We might compare school life to the foundation of a building. The beginning, and everything depends upon the beginning. Our lessons are the bricks, each good lesson a good brick and each bad lesson a bad brick. Every one knows what happens if a foundation gets too many bad bricks. It caves in, and no matter how strongly built the top of the building is, it falls with the caving in of the foundation. So it is with our lives. Of course as is customary to all Freshmen, when we made our first appearance at the door of the school of higher learning, we were a trifle frightened but curious to find out for ourselves how truly different this life was going to be from that of the grade schools. All things were not as great as our dreams had pictured them for it is never so. The first few days it seemed as if everything we did was wrong so Mr. Prince kept us in one night after school and told us when, where, how', why. which, etc., our classes would be. After that we got along famously. We held a class meeting shortly after school opened and elected as our class officers: Charles Cross, President; Lucille Butler, Vice President; William Bick- nell, Secretary and Treasurer; Ralph Garvin. Atheletic Representative; Katherine Flarris, Spud Editor; and Miss Bishop, Sponsor. The first high school party we attended was the High School Mixer. Hallowe’en we had a party of our own in the gym entertaining the Sidney and local football boys. The Freshmen girls gave a short program in front of the assembly April 7th and the boys are now planning one at the time of this write-up. What is the matter, Miriam? Can’t you speak louder? Be more enthusiastic. Open your mouth and throw yourself into it! We editors may dig and toil. Till our finger tips are sore. But some poor fool is sure to say “I’ve heard that joke before.” Mark A.—“What is life anyway? Ruth A.—“Just one darned thing after another.” M. A.—“Well then, what is love?” R. A.—“Two darned things after each other.”The Spud Page 35 Editorials WHAT ARE YOU? Have you ever stopped to consider the many types or classes of students there ii in your high school? Did you ever classify the students who seemed to he tin most popular? Did you ever consider how you might be classified? There ,ire five main classes of students—the would be sports, the “I won’t works” the dumb-bells, the grinds, and the all round students. Of these the most objectable are the would-be sports. The class includes the boys who smoke- not because they enjoy it but because this is the proper way to lx- “hard.” The boys and girls who try to entertain the assembly but shake with fear when sent to the office belong in this class. There is also the girl who boasts of her dates, says she is tired of getting boxes of candy and is always talking of the dances and parties she attends and is presumably the leading attraction. The loafers need not take much time. They are simply the students who are too lazy to work although they could do passing work if they applied themselves. They are fit subjects for the poison ivy club and are a trial not only to the faculty but the other students. We wonder they come to school if they refuse to work. The dumb-bells are those who are not only stupid but lazy. “Nuf Sed.” Another class is the “grinds.” This does not mean that people who study-blit the people who study only and refuse to take part in any student activity. They are usually at their best when equipped with 14 books and a high brow air. They are offensively self-satisfied and fail to realize that there is anything to a high school but classes. Football, basketball, track, tennis, programs, and plays do not interest but simply bore them. Because of their supercilious air they are usual Iv the least popular people in school. The last type and we are glad to say that this includes the majority of the students is known as the all-round student. This person does good school work, doesn’t try to bluff his wav through, goes out for athletics if he or she has any abilitv' and is willing to take part in all school activities. These people are not deadly enemies of the faculty and get as many E. S. H. honors as anyone else. They are popular with the students and with the faculty and are a credit to the high school. Now that you have read this—think! if the process is not painful. See in what class you belong. While of course we realize that it is practically impossible for you to be out of the last class—but then you know how: women are. —Anonvmous. STOLEN M0RALIZ1NGS There are twenty overloafers to one overworker. A pessimist knows the world is full of liars; an optimist only suspects it. One who can “do about anything” usually can do about nothing well. A successful man thinks through a problem; a failure only thinks at it. It is better to take a chance and go broke than never to take a chance and go broke. Love, of course, makes the world go ’round, but what is more important is for it to make the world go square. Don’t advertise your faults nor your virtues. Your enemies will attend to the former and your friends to the latter. The difference between being and doing Is the difference between an oyster. And a whirlwind: The oyster is—and that’s all; The whirlwind does—and that is a-plenty. Don’t lie about your neighbors—they might lie about you. And don’t tell the truth about them—they might tell the truth about you.The Spud Alumni Rotes Page 36 The members of the Alumni wish to welcome the graduating class into the organization and to congratulate each one upon your success.

It was sounded louder and louder and more men were attracted. The first game was with the “North Platte Huskies.” When the season ended there were two small but good teams, both fighting to the finish. The second team is worthy of mention because it took many hard knocks from its superiors. Mr. Prince was successful at organizing two of the snappiest teams in the west.

The first night the Seniors were victorious over the Juniors. The next game between the Freshmen and Sophomore class and the Freshmen resulted in a victory for the Sophs. Ihe final play between the two classes was ended. The Seniors being H. S. Champs. Next was to pick out the two teams and the first league game was played with Bayard on Jan. 1 1. Alliance girls went over the top with a score of 28 to 10. The second game, with Crawford ended with a score of 31-22 in our favor. The Gering-Alliance game at Gering was more of a scrap than a game, the score being 31-22 in favor of Alliance. The next game was with Scottsbluff and was a scrap from beginning to end. The teams tied several times during the course of the evening. The final score 31-25 resulted in a defeat for Scottsbluff. The following game with Gering was played here. When the whistle blew at the end of a hard fought battle the score was 23-12 in favor of Alliance. Our next game, w ith Scottsbluff was the only one lost by Alliance during the season. It was a hard fought game but fate was against us. The score was 27-17. The last game was played with Bayard at Bayard. Alliance come out on top with a score of 28-22. The girls showed good team work and careful forethought in all the games, having lost only one. The effect of their work resulted in the Western Championship for Alliance. We had a Girl’s Second Basket ball team this year and although it played only with Antioch, it showed good material for future use. Alliance won both games. We hope the second team will aid in helping to make as good a first team as possible next year so that Alliance may gain another championship.

At the state contest at Lincoln the team won first debate while upholding the affirmative side. The next debate, in which they also took the affirmative, they lost to the state champions. Those who made the team were Tom Miller, Edward Morrow and Ruth Stanton. Rowland Threlkeld was chosen alternate. Both Edward Morrow and Ruth Stanton were on last year’s team. Besides the four named above there were Harold Clark, Charles Cross, Margaret Schill, Mary Woolis and Chester Yount in the preliminary contest. Miss Keith, who has coached the Alliance teams for three years, deserves the greater part of the credit for the successful year, and a great loss will be felt when she does not take the reins next year. At the beginning of the year eight teams had signified their intention of entering the district contests. But a number changed their minds so Alliance debated only twice, winning each time, therefore becoming district champions. The debates were with Chadron and Sidney. From the tenth to the twelfth of May the team was in Lincoln at the state contest. At the drawing they found they were to compete with Fairbury first, and had the affirmative. Alliance won by a two to one decision. The next debate was with Cathedral High of Lincoln, Alliance again drew the affirmative. Cathedral High won by a two to one decision. The next day they became state champions by winning from Wayne, this time unanimously. This makes the fifth consecutive year that an Alliance team has won the district championship. The state is divided into eleven districts. Alliance being in the Northwestern district . In the eleven years the championship has gone to other teams but twice. —R. T. Miss White—“Stop bluffing and answer Yes or No. Who was Charles 8th?” Janice—“Is my skirt too short?” Bright listener—“No. Man wants but little here below, nor wants that little long.” Mr. Cunningham—“How does it happen you didn't name the baby ‘Warren Harding’ as was your intention?” Mr. Prince—“We named it Doris.” Frank and Lester Beal were discussing Raymond Brown. Lester—“I’m thin and you’re thin but he’s thinner than both of us put together.” • • • Sterling—“What kind of stone do you suppose I'll have when I die?"’ Marie—“Brimstone.” Mariellen—“I thought you took Latin last year.” I,ee—“I did but the faculty encored me.”The Spin Declamatory Pace 54 The preliminary declamatory contest, for the purpose of selecting three from each class to compete in the final local contest, was held March 7th at the High School auditorium, sixteen taking part. Since only two had originally entered the oratorical contest, these were not heard, but selections were made from the other two classes. The selection included Lois Boyer, Mildred Pate and Violette Walker of the dramatic class, and Eula Bar-ranger, Frances Fletcher and Margaret Schill of the humorous class. I hose who entered the dramatic class were Evangeline Acheson, Mary Becker, Lois Boyer, Elyse Harris. Edna Hiles, Mildred Pate, Ruth Stanton. Violette Walker and Helen Young. In the humorous class the entrants were Eula Barranger, Eva Beal, Lorea Edson, Frances Fletcher, Miriam Harris, Margaret Schill and Vera Scott. The contestants of the oratorical class, who appeared at the Imperial theater only, were Sterling Harris and Robert Lawrence. The final local contest was held at the Imperial theater a few weeks later. The three selected from the dramatic class and the humorous class, and the two of the oratorical class contested for first places and representation in the district contest. Of these Violette Walker, Francis Fletcher and Sterling Harris were chosen. Their selections were “Mistress Penelope.” “Coming Out of Miss Cummings,” and “Liberty or Death,” respectively. The ■convention of this district of the State Teachers' Association was held here the first of April, and the district declamatory contest was held then. There were nearly a dozen towns entered, and Alliance won first in two classes—the dramatic and the oratorical. Both winners represented Alliance at the State contests the second week in May. The best speakers in the state gathered at Cozad for the dramatic contest and at Stanton for the oratorical. Our representatives made a very fine showing, hut lost in both cases. Our disappointment, however, was modified by the district championships which they won. Both are Seniors and will not be back next September, but with several thriving classes in expression there should be the best of representation in all three classes at next year’s contests. Interest was the greatest of any year during the past season and many more will undoubtedly compete next year and carry off even greater honors for Alliance. We are very proud of the showing made by all contestants and wish to tend our heartiest thanks to those who made it possible. —Rowland Threlkeld.The Spud Latin Club Tlotes Pace 56 A meeting of ail Latin students was called during the chapel period October 29, and under the supervision of Miss Keith, a Latin Club was organized. About fifty-six responded, making the enrollment larger than in recent years. The following officers were elected for the year: Frances Grassman....................................President Edward Morrow.................................Vice-President Royal I rwin..........................Secretary and Treasurer Jennie Hilton............................................Spud Representative Three entertainment committees were appointed and three meetings were planned for this year, two of which have been given. The first meeting of the Latin Club was held Friday, November 5th, at the home of Irma and Ethelyn Ellis. The usual Latin games and music afforded a very enjoyable time to those present. Dainty refreshments were served at a late hour. The second meeting was held at the home of our president, Frances Grassman. There was a large attendance, including several Alumni members and the faculty. The greater part of the evening was spent in playing the Latin card games of Verbs and Anagrams. A short program was given and some new games were introduced which caused a great deal of amusement, after which refreshments were served. A very pleasant and sociable evening was reported. Since the organization in '08 the Latin Club has been an exceptionally enthusiastic body, and we hope it will continue to be larger and better each year. Rome Rursiuq and Phujsioloqu] One of the new studies adopted this semester was Home Nursing and Physiology as the Home Economics Smith-Hughes course is being taught for the first time this year. The course is based on Franklin’s idea that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. With this idea in mind we have taken up a study of preventative measures as are most ignored. First among these came the attempt to attain the right weight for the individual pupil as based on her height and age. Each person was measured and weighed and then we decided what we were going to do. Those that were over weight were to take exercise and have the right kind of diet. Since weight is a direct indication of the state of health, we are aiming to attain the correct weight. Here are some of the results of three weeks’ effort: 1 132 lbs. 24 lbs. 2 131 lbs. 23 lbs. 3 121 lbs. 13 lbs. 4 Ini lbs. 14 lbs. 5 10iy2 lbs. 21 , lbs. 6 95 lbs. 32 lbs. over weight, lost 21 g lbs over weight, lost 3 lbs. over weight, lost 2 lbs. lbs lbs lbs. We are very fortunate in having Miss Steekleberg with us again next year. She has been a very good instructor and we are sure she will be next vear. —F. S.The Sped Ttlanual Training Page 57 The Manual Training classes, nine and ten recite the first two periods in the morning. The reason for the two classes meeting at the same time is due to the small number enrolled in each class. f or the first two weeks of school the class met at the high school, where they learned how to make working drawings. Each class had a different set of drawings to make. Two class periods out of each six weeks’ period the class would have book work at the high school, where they would study the different tools used in the shop. They studied the different kinds of wood and different joints used in furniture making. W hen reporting at the shop the boys would make the different joints they had studied. Some of the things made by the Manual Training class are smoking stands, pedestals, handkerchief boxes, book racks, fruit and nut bowls, piano benches, candle stands, tool and medicine chests, card and library tables. Manual training is an interesting subject to take and more boys in school should enroll and help make it a worth while subject. It will help to build up a boy physically, mentally and also teach him to be accurate. It helps a great many boys to choose their life work. Commercial Department Up to the present term, the Commercial Course has covered a period of two years, but now in order to graduate, the work must be taken up in the Freshman year. Our commercial course is one of the most complete in Western Nebraska. It thoroughly prepares its graduates for positions and for this reason so many subjects are required in order to give the student a broader knowledge for the work. The required subjects are: Shorthand, Typewriting, Commercial Arithmetic, English, Bookkeeping. Penmanship and Spelling. The advanced class of Shorthand is also taking a course of “Office Practice,” which is beneficial to those who expect to work this summer. Miss Bishop, Instructor of this Department has a larger class enrolled than any previous year. Thirtv-two Freshmen took up Commercial work in September. Those who have received diplomas from this course under Miss Wilson are: 1915 Lora Nason, Dorothy Pederson. 1916 W alter Anderson. Carl kaester, Otto Snyder, Ralph W’atteyne. 1917 La Veta Boyden. 1918 Helen Lore, Annie Reeves, Bessie Younkin. 1919 Marie Reeves, and Pearl Trabert under Miss Bargey. Those who receive diplomas this year are: Alice Harris, Mabel Garrett. Clara Garrett. Ethel Trabert. Marjorie Harmer and Thelma Zobel. —T. M. Z.The Sped Paue 58 .11, !
