We dedicate it to you not as a gesture of good will but as a token of our thanks. Your interest in us, the students, your willingness to co-operate and your friendly personality have made you one of our favorites. Under your guidance, Alliance High's Science Department has been strengthened and our facilities have been improved. We appreciate all you have given to our school and to the students. "Just a little more and you'll have it!” 3Browsing through a senior English literature book is enjoyable, agree Linda York, Rich Cowles, Pat Colburn, and Janice Phillip. They pause a moment to look at one of the scenes from "Macbeth.” WE LEARN . . . to communicate, so that we Modern education stresses academics ... to the AHS student this means a new interpretation of his communication courses. In the English department, literature classes explore the vast realm of English and American modern and classical writings. Composing original essays and reviewing many topics in composition teaches students to exp'ress what they comprehend. Courses in speech and debate outline for students the qualities of a good speaker. Informal debates, lengthy discussions and formal speeches help each to develop the poise, confidence and voice techniques necessary for speaking to an audience. Courses in journalism acquaint students with newspaper and feature writing as they work on the Spud" and "Bulldog" staffs every day. Here they learn teamwork along with self-expression and the many aspects of publications. When Marilyn Koester think of her future, she realizes how important English grammar is to everyone.Lorraine Evans finds thai, although English is interesting, English tests are difficult. may understand ourselves and others Dianne Sundermeier is finding that library books are very helpful, although Mary Lou Reno Jerry Cu p and Judy Bush-nell think she may be overdoing it a little. 5Terry Hahn and Donna Shetler, typical American Government students, signify our interest in the future of the United Nations. WE LIVE. . . for world peace tomorrow We become aware of responsibility as citizens . . . through the study of social sciences. Students must take American history, American problems and government, and they may elect to take World history also. We gain an appreciation of the past as well as an understanding of present conditions. Film strips, movies, charts, and other visual aids, along with lively discussion periods, make these courses fun as well as worthwhile. While American history stresses our country's background and world history stresses the past happenings of our world, both assist students in understanding present national and international difficulties. 6Newspapers inform students of the changes talcing place in our world. Diana Smaha. Betty Lurvey and Linda Munger are reading about the trouble in Cuba and Russia. American history students are interested in where events in our history toolc place. In this case. Karen Schnurr shows Susi Johnson and Paul Lepard the location of our nation’s capital. 7Diclt Graham and Arnold Jensen seem to approve of the way Jane Gorder is measuring water for a chemistry experiment. Anyway they will have to admit measuring water is simpler than figuring out the meaning of HIOAg. "a -ab 2ab-fb equals . . . explains Jan Ashby to the students in advanced algebra. WE LEARN ... so that The field of science and mathematics lies before us like thousands of unopened doors .•. . biology and geometry are the first steps in exploring what lies beyond. For AHS scientists, biology opens the door to man s origin and evolution and to the world of plants and animals. To the AHS chemist and physicist, the recent developments in atomic and nuclear energy give new meaning to complex chemical .formulas and physics problems. In chemistry, too, the use of modern technical equipment aids students in solving difficult problems in the lab. General math, algebra, and plane geometry introduce AHS mathematicians to the problems facing a person interested in this field. Advanced courses in algebra, trigonometry, and analytic geometry use this experience to develop a more exact knowledge of modern mathematics and its applications. 8"Now let me see," thinks Nancy Chamberlain, "how much heavier is water than air?" we may create, not destroy Claudia McNertney. Janice Merrill, Jett Ward and Fred Lawrence look on as Tom Anderson explains a geometry problem in Mr. Hunt's class. 9If he could just stop eating a moment, Paul Nelson would be sure to say he thinks Roso Lee Cornette's cookies are tops. WE LABOR ... to acquire skills for tomorrow's job Students taking the practical courses offered at AHS find themselves . . . gaining skills for future employment. AHS boys become "Jacks-of-all-trades" in the industrial arts classes. In both shop and drafting courses, they discover natural abilities along their respective lines, and, with a sense of accomplishment, develop them. The commercial department develops practical skills which are usable on the job and in everyday life. From our curriculum, students may choose Typing I, Typing II, Shorthand I, Shorthand II or Bookkeeping I, according to their need. Students taking home economics are given a better chance to prepare themselves as future homemakers. Courses ranging from cooking and sewing to child care are offered. Vocational Agriculture, with its intra-curricular activity, the Future Farmers of America, is another one of the courses offered in practical skills at AHS. Vocational Agriculture has four phases: agriculture science, shop, F.F.A. and supervised farming 10 program. vy i "Practice makes perfect" is a true statement in regard to the use of the adding machine. Janet Hitchcock points out the merits of the machine to Curtis Ginn, Sharon Schwaderer and Anita Allen. Gary Jordan is pleased to see that the contour of his mahogany bowl is the proper smoothness. F.F.A. students have an opportunity to make demonstrations $nd compete against each other. Jack Brixius and Floyd Marsh get ready to compete against Grover Thompson, Terry Baker and Rich Loomis.

Marilyn Koester and Jane Gorder. WE LAUGH ... as we participate Barbara Stewart winds up. ready to pitch. For AHS students there is a greater breadth of living in belonging . . . in being part of their school and its teams and organizations. All who belong find friends, fun, and fellowship as they broaden their span of interests and activities. Each becomes a part of the pattern of life which predominates at our school. Those who take an active part in supporting AHS directly or indirectly associate themselves with school athletics. There is satisfaction in belonging as part of a crowd cheering the team or as part of a team itself, playing the game. Each becomes a loyal partisan for his school's honor. The same is true for the supporters of Alliance High’s music and drama groups and nine organizations. Yes, AHS offers more than the "3 R's." It offers an added "A" for activities. 12"Her© is another three dollars toward the prom," reports Barbara Ferguson to Debbie Cheney as she turns in her candy money. Being sociable with a Pepsi at our new pop machine are Don McCune. Bob Seiler. Lorry Stinnette and Arnold Burnham 13The office assistants and the library assistants offer valuable help not only to faculty members they assist but also to the entire student body.

He directs the administration of tests in the school system, assists in the interpretation of tests, records, and other information for teachers and students, and helps students register for courses, select post high school training, and understand themselves as they relate to their school record. Our school nurse provides many services to the students of A.H.S. Mrs. Theima Merritt takes Kay Reitz's temperature. Kay seems to be a little perplexed. 14The school board Is the policy making body of Alliance Public Schools. The administration could well be classified as a machine, each part working in cooperation with all others to achieve the one desired result of better education for our students. As a result of their combined efforts, the citizens of Alliance can be proud of the teachers, students, and facilities of the Alliance Public School System. Principal Leslie Chamberlin fakes time for a phone call whi!e discussing an administrative problem with Superintendent of Schools L. E. Morrison and Assistant Superintendent Mr. Norval Trout.

These performances are the result of long hours of practice, practice, practice—both during and after school hours. The A Cappella Choir sings representative literature from all the major periods of composition. Their repertoire includes over forty compositions ranging from Johann Sebastian Bach to contemporary music.
