THE BULLDOG ’69 ALLIANCE HIGH SCHOOL ALLIANCE, NEBRASKA VOLUME XXVBronco Lake Area—Alliance, Nebraska 2LOVE SONG TO THE PLAINS Sincere and heartfelt emotions are expressed in all love songs. The plains of Western Nebraska provide the inspiration necessary for such emotional expression. The sky frames the rolling plains and the clouds cast intermittent shadows upon the shifting landscape. Golden sunsets accent the boundless horizons. This is the scene that stimulated writers, such as Mari Sandoz and John Niehardt, to recreate the wild immeasureable power of the plains and the sense of the universal in man. Each Nebraskan possesses his own love song to the plains, whether it be in the form of individual feelings or as a tribute to the hardy pioneers who molded the land. Memories of the pioneers’ struggle remain and results of their efforts are treasured. They cultivated the barren land and they embedded ideas of government and individualism into the hearts and minds of all. Love is never a one-sided relationship. Despite the hardships inflicted by the unpredictable weather and forces of nature, the plains still return the love of their admirers. The staff acknowledges the title. I-ove Song to the Plains, used so effectively by Mari Sandoz in her book published by Harper Brothers. 3North Building Vocational BuildingTABLE OF CONTENTS Campus Highlights ...

In order to survive, these inhabitants found it necessary to develop a type of rugged individualism that still exists in this region. Freedom flourished and these determined pioneers founded an empire of self-sufficient, hospitable individuals. These all-important and enduring qualities still prosper on the Plains of Western Nebraska and are evident in the students of AHS.

Fall Calendar Features A Whirl Of Exciting Events With the first day of school came the inevitable confusion as schedules were compared and greetings between “long-lost friends" were exchanged. Participating in this bewildering maze was Carlos Franzino, our exchange student from Argentina. A temporary Student Council Committee was soon organized and members appointed. Aiming for the betterment of the school, they worked jointly with faculty members in drawing up a school constitution and planning numerous activities. Homecoming festivities provided an exciting climax to fall activities. Spirit reigned high through the traditional burning of the ‘A’, pep rally, parade, and game. Anticipation and suspense mounted to half-time ceremonies, when Rhonda Groskopf was crowned Homecoming Queen. A radiant Rhonda reigned over the dance following 8 the game. Y-Teen member, Billie Jo Jardine, begins the school year by presenting an apple to Mr. Zuspan.Homecoming royalty Jerri Allen. Rhonda Groskopf. and Marsha Trank received the “red carpel” treatment. Exchange student, Carlos Franzino. finds American schools a change from schools in Argentina. Mrs. Neuswanger provides motherly advice. The Senior Class once again won first place for their Homecoming float entitled “Eat ’Em Up." 9Winter Brings Carnival of Festive Activities As the Yuletide season approached, A.H.S. donned a holiday air. A gaily decorated tree, provided by the Student Council, added cheer and color to its hall surroundings. To the delight of the student body, a Christmas program was presented by the high school band, Chamber Singers, and Speech class. Shimmering stars and shades of blue dominated as “The Littlest Angel" descended upon Pep Club Formal. Inspired by the delightful children's story, the dance’s theme was highly successful, adding a treasured memory to many. School resumed all too soon as warmly-clad students settled down for a "long, hard winter" of studying. “Laugh-In," the Y-Teen Orpheum, provided a welcome break to school routine. The annual Christmas tree receives final trim from Max Dcntler and Lee Whitlock. Pep Club Formal royalty includes Pal Brunkow, Chant Leader, Mike Green. First Attendant. Pat Way. Vice-President, Jerry Tolstedt, Pep Club Boyfriend, Shari Minnick, President, Larry Graham, Second Attendant. Sharon Edwards, Secretary, and Penny Yekel, Treasurer. 10Wild stocking patterns prevailed and the plain leg look disappeared as students kept up with the modern trends.

Voice of Democracy contest winner Jim Lorenzini poses with DAR Citizenship award winner Julie Ushio. Students Are Awarded Special Recognition Though students range in their interests as well as their capabilities, there are always those that excel in their particular fields. Whether it be in student government, service, popularity, or scholarship, certain individuals always exert a supreme effort. To those deserving students go recognition. The accompanying rewards, praise, and congratulations serve as inspiration for the honorees to continue their work and to promote an atmosphere of friendly competition as others are spurred to work to the best of their ability. 12Nebraska University Regents Winner Debbie Duerksen discusses Sociology with Alternate Della Rubeck. FFA members placing first in the stubble mulch judging contest are Jim Collins, Dennis Harris, Dan Morrison, and Max Dentler. 13Graduation Hovers As Seniors Face Spring Events With the appearance of the first robin signaling the approach of spring, restlessness invades the classroom. Daydreaming, preoccupation, and window gazing offer a constant challenge to final exams and studies as “spring fever” returns to plague AHS. The arrival of yearbooks soon finds them being circulated throughout the school for signatures. While some students find yearbooks a unique collection of memories, others discover "remembrances” as a year’s accumulation is removed from lockers. For seniors, the end of a high school career is nearing. Focus is centered on the soon-to-be graduates as numerous banquets, Senior Recognition, and Baccalaureate dominate. Graduation looms near, and, though their school year is drawing to a close, “the spirit of ‘69” continues. Graduation has special significance for twins Sherry and Garry Carpenter. Concentration is essential in final exams for Pat Way. Daydreaming provides an escape from school drudgery for Pat Brunkow. 14Arrival of yearbooks is an exciting and much anticipated moment for the student body. Spring cleaning brings surprising results for Linda Rosane. 15Bronco Lake Area, Alliance, NebraskaFACULTY AND CURRICULUM Sturdy wheels carried the covered wagons across rugged, unknown territory. Rolling along winding trails, the pioneers came nearer to realizing their final destination and ultimate goal. The wheels of progress are present today even in our school, for they have turned the administration to the concept of Modular Scheduling. This relatively new type of system serves as a tool to produce a more effective program. With our second year of this system in full progress, there has been a significant increase in the number of teaching teams organized and in teacher involvement in cooperative planning. The aims and objectives of courses have become more evident with this increase in involvement of planning. Students are given more opportunity for individual work and personal initiative. They have become increasingly conscious of themselves as learners rather than “attenders.” Accompanied by continual improvements and adjustments, the wheels of “curriculum progress' will eventually lead Alliance Secondary School closer to its ever-changing goals. 17Administration Promotes Individual Achievement Coordinated action of many individuals and groups is a requisite for Alliance High School’s smooth and efficient operation. Responsibility for this smooth operation is the duty of administrators, teachers, and student body. However, this year, more than ever before, more individuals determine the degree of success of their personal achievements. In conjunction with this philosophy, the faculty is encouraged to allow students more freedom in their actions in order that the student body may realize greater academic and personal maturity while still in high school. Coinciding with the individual approach, all departments recognize the effectiveness of small group presentations. With student function more clearly defined, the students are given more of an opportunity to exchange ideas, increase participation, and discuss their ideas to a logical conclusion. “There is no doubt,” stresses Superintendent Dr. Stanley Wilcox, “that our 1968-69 school system is superior to that of former years.” Assistant Principals—Mr. Don Crowder and Mr. E.

Principal—Mr. Leslie T. Chamberlin. Improvements Unify Secondary System Addition of the most recent textbooks strengthens and enhances the curriculum of each A.H.A. department. A marked increase of audio-visual aids and materials in the resource centers was made possible by government grants. Installation of a new intercom system has helped solve many of the complexities of operating a three building modularly scheduled school system. The intercom ties the buildings together in a vocal link minimizing the traffic between buildings. Also reducing this traffic is the centralization of the ninth grade classes in the South building where all freshman homerooms and lockers are located. In the North building, the centralizing of departments for grades ten through twelve has helped both students and faculty. Under the new system of assigning rooms, a student can find a teacher easier than before and teachers’ offices are located nearer the rooms in which they teach. 19School Personnel Aid in Smooth Operation Working behind the scenes to keep Alliance High running smoothly and efficiently is a group of hardworking and highly qualified personnel. Assisting the teachers in their tasks is a group of paraprofessionals and teachers’ aides. In the office, the secretaries are always on hand to cope with a student’s problems, whether it be a lunch ticket or a transcript of grades. While the janitors keep the building in proper order, the nurse keeps the students in proper health by giving an annual check-up of eyes, ears, throat, height, and weight, as well as being on hand for any emergency that may arise. The cooks also play an important part in keeping the students healthy by supplying them daily with a hot lunch that is both well balanced and palatable. Teachers’ aides Mrs. Rita Smith. Mrs. Sandra Brungard. and Mrs. Linnien Messersmith look on as Mr. Ervin Wilkins repairs a typewriter. School secretaries Mrs. Donna Leach, Miss Dixie Rader. Mrs. Janice Harris, Mrs. Kay Morris, Mrs. Diana Parker, and Mrs. Betty Dietrich are always willing to help students. 20Cafeteria staff includes Mms. Amelia Nnss; Margaret Garrett, Grace Brungard. Alyce liuinnger, hlsa Smith, Pearl Ferbrache. Custodians Red Wilmott, George Janicke, Ray Snell, and Bob Roebuck keep A.H.S. tidy.

Social Science Students Acquire Understanding Knowledge and understanding of national and world affairs are becoming more and more essential as international problems become increasingly intense. Aiding students in this area, teachers seek to relate world happenings to the history of the past. Modular scheduling permits the student to participate more completely. Variety in approach is afforded through team teaching and grouping according to interests. An intense study of past presidential elections was conducted by one group. Similar groups concentrated their study on other aspects. An expanded resource center furnishes more interesting materials for student research. Background material ranging from geography and history to economics and sociology provides the desired information about important world affairs for seeking minds of young high school citizens. "Campaign posters often elect the President " Wilcox. agree Jim Lorenzini and Patti AMERICAN ELECTION POST .3 p c 26Enjoyment of Macbeth is obvious for Dave Fry and Beth Andrews. Communications Utilizes Innovative Approach Innovation seems to be the key for the Communications department for 1968-1969. This year. Project English or Accelerated Project English is encouraged for all who are college bound. In Accelerated Project English, the students study works of more authors and delve even more deeply into the works they study. Nebraska Curriculum materials are used in both of these classes. Practical English is a course devised primarily for those who are vocationally oriented. This year, through government grants, the English Resource Center is enlarged by the addition of many books, records, tapes, and filmstrips. The Communications Department was enriched by a grant of $5,000 to buy books and $1,500 to buy visual aids. The innovative approach is also evident this year in the speech, journalism and foreign language sections. Speech II team teaching stresses individualized forensics. Conversational Spanish and German is presented with the student’s individual need constantly in the foreground. 27 It’s a mad maze of exams for Karen Albright.Geometric models capture the interest of Toni Henkel, Craig Dietrich and Jean Powell. “Math Lab” Provides Additional Services Consumer’s math, a new course offered this year to juniors and seniors in the math field, is a terminal course for the vocationally oriented. The course deals basically with math used in business and everyday life. Although the math lab itself is not new, the equipment is. This year many new books and visual aids were added along with a series of games. The games do not provide a magic formula for learning a difficult subject, but they do provide stimulation in subjects for which a student might have little interest, or even a block, that makes him think he lacks aptitude. The lab is run by instructors again this year. In this way a teacher is readily available to the student who needs individual help. Instruction is enjoyable for Denny Perkins and Mr. Hawk. 28“Ouch, that hurts! (toners cneryl Vogel after a too close inspection of a cactus plant. “Is the big rule pounds or ounces?" wonders Larry Graham as he studies the scale. "What do you mean, it’ll roll up hill?” query Jim Seiler and Cheryl Sutton of Mr. Bill Marchant. Science Unfolds Mysteries of Nature Ever since Aristotle applied the scientific method to the phenomena of his environment, men have had an unquenchable desire to understand the mysteries of nature. Today, science at AHS furthers the pursuit of knowledge by providing incentive and a firm background in modern scientific concepts. In the physics department, students are learning through graphing. The new system is initialed P.S.S.C. and is centered around the graphing of physics problems. Those students interested in biology, the living science, find a full program at Alliance with both biology and advanced biology offered. Chemistry students are also finding a complete course with the addition of many new materials necessary to complete experiments in chemical reactions. 29 “How many more do I have to do. Coach?” worries Rusty Reno. Drivers9 Ed and Physical Ed courses Require Homework Driver’s education students are surprised to find that their course involves more than just getting behind the wheel of one of the driver’s education cars. They are finding that certain techniques of signaling, turning, and the basic operations of the cars must be mastered if all students are to become safe, responsible drivers in the world of today. Physical education students are also finding more homework in their course this year. In addition to regular assignments, each student is assigned a semester report on some sport. This program is designed to give the individual student a spectator knowledge of each sport with some carry-over value for adult life. Physical fitness is stressed as it is essential in this complex civilization. Do you have your insurance paid up?” quips Chcri Reed to Robert Morris.Libraries Develop Diversified Services Working together with the resource centers, the libraries benefit the students more this year than ever before. The card catalogues in both the North and South Libraries contain all books and visual aids in the five resource centers. The cards are color coded, which automatically refers the student to a certain resource center. Under modular scheduling, the student benefits by being able to choose whether he studies in the library or in a resource center which specializes in a certain field. Research captures the interest of David Knoflicek. "Card catalogues provide a treasure chest of information,” says Mrs. Myers to Dick Phillip. Books fascinate Marilyn Mason. 31Playing the saxophone is serious business for Denny Coleman. Fine Arts Stimulate Creativity and Performance Budding young artists and gifted singing prospects are recruited by the art and music departments in order to enhance these skills and to increase the pleasure which can be derived from them. Unscheduled time enables art students to spend more time in areas of special interest. Ceramics, color, and design are studied in the classroom. Band, orchestra, and choir spice the music curriculum. Regular routine class work and unusual outside activities such as concerts and contests make participation enjoyable. Through the speech classes, study is made of the interpretation of poetry, prose, and drama. Performances on special occasions make this phase of drama popular. 32 “There’s no room for mine," protests Jerry Nunes.Vocational Department Expands Its Program Providing a broad base for meeting the demands of earning a living, the Vocational Department meets its major challenge. All courses develop a competence in the students’ chosen area. Secretarial training, vocational agriculture, diversified occupations, and auto mechanics are a few of the courses offered. Rounding out the program this year, distributive education was offered to students interested in learning necessary skills on the job. Other new courses added this year are Woodworking, Metals, Electricity, and Graphic Arts. Developing useful skills, practical arts courses serve their purpose. Students acquire basic skills toward becoming competent homemakers. Working with leather, engineer drawing, hand and power tools and ceramics intrigues those who are involved in industrial arts. ‘What will the teacher say?" quips Carol Pedersen to Karyn Foster. “School courses have never been this exciting before," thinks Roger Bunnell. Speed typing requires the total concentration of Alice Co- valt. 33Pipeline Staff Members Carol Arrants and Mike Dafney discuss a script change. Spud Editorial Staff Members—Sharon Potmesil, Penny Vekel, Jim Lorenzini, and Udona Jones. Journalism Students Tim Nagaki, Carlos Franzino, Rusty Reno, Pat Way, Janelle Todd. Peggy Ward, and Georgia Rinehart prepare another edition of The SpudBulldog Members Della Rubeck. Adviser Mrs. Alice Nelson. Kathee Vallejo. Kathy Shimp. Kathy Smith, and Julie Ushio strain to meet the deadline. Two year members of the annual staff include Gary Christensen, Doug Rusk, Debbie Duerksen, and Jeff Wacker. Publication Staffs Meet High Standards Much time and mental energy is expelled as the Bulldog and Spud staffs strain to meet those final deadlines. For the Spud staff, advised by Barbara Bobbitt, it is a bi-weekly experience as members from the journalism class push to publish another edition of the high school’s only newspaper. Long hours are spent, but all feel the reward as the newspapers are distributed to the student body. Work, work, work is also typical of Bulldog staff members as they strive to meet the goals set down by adviser Alice Nelson. Such goals are necessary if the staff is to maintain the high ratings accredited the book. Another deadline is met in publications as the announcer says “This is the AHS Pipeline." The pipeline is the radio program used to convey school activities to the Alliance community. 35Bronco Lake Area, Alliance, Nebraska 36CAMPUS LIFE Just as our pioneer ancestors viewed the Nebraska prairie horizon with a vision of success, we, too, glimpse demanding and distant horizons. Through active participation in school activities, we gain valuable characteristics. Club work promotes fellowship and service, stimulating an interest in others. Members learn to be leaders as well as followers. Athletics encourage friendly competition, sportsmanship and physical fitness while music and drama develop a greater appreciation and understanding of man’s cultural and material heritage. Armed with these assets and a pioneer spirit, we, too, face with confidence the potential of the future. 37Loyal Pep Club Backs Athletics Pep Club Officers President Shari Minnick; Vice-President Pat Way; Secretary Sharon Edwards; Treasurer Penny Yekel. Homecoming carnations build enthusiasm in Hclga Zobel, Pat Guernsey, and Don Hannah. “Watch my hands; they tell a story, Mr. Maxwell!” admonishes Pat Brunkow. Pep Club is an organization composed of girls who wish to promote spirit and enthusiasm among the student body and throughout the entire school. Aiding in the promotion of spirit are the blue-and-white pom-poms used at the games which are new to the Pep Club this year. Money-making projects included the selling of the blue-and-white pom-poms and two quite successful pop bottle drives. Money collected from these projects were used in making this year’s Pep Club formal a success. A mixture of anticipation and anxiety accompanied the annual “Spring Banquet". An emotional climax was reached when the cheerleaders were announced for the following year. Tears of joy and sorrow flowed freely then.A-Club Membership Is Earned Privilege Being a member of A-Club is not only an honor but also a privilege. Boys who are members must have earned a letter in one sport in the past year. Initiation into A-Club involves many woes. First an oath is taken by all new members, but they are not fully recognized until the A-Club banquet. Eating sour cream and ketchup or measuring the length of Box Butte in wieners are just a few of the woes encountered during the probationary period. Participating in the money projects and selling at the concession stand help boys feel that they are part of the club. However, the greatest satisfaction to each individual is the feeling of achievement when he becomes a member of this honor club. A-Club concession stand is popular with the children.

Believing it is “better to give than to receive." Y-Teens offered various services to the school and community. Annual service projects included an Indian Childrens' Christmas party and the World Brotherhood Service. The club also voted to continue sponsorship of Yue Yan Che, a Chinese orphan whose education and health is supplemented by a yearly donation from the club. Fun, fellowship, and fulfillment were provided in diversified seasonal programs. Activities began with the traditional Pat-teran followed by the Pizza Party where the girls got acquainted. This year the theme of the Orpheum was “Laugh-In." The Or-pheum provided the club with its major money-making project. Spring programs included a Mother-Daughter Banquet, the presentation of a $100 Scholarship to an outstanding senior member, and Senior Dinner honoring the graduating members. Climaxing an effective and constructive year of service and activities was the Easter Sunrise Service. Y-Teen Officers—President. Vicki Miller; Vice-President. Karen Johnson; Secretary.

Hi-Y Gains ‘Know-How’ Through Activities Many a chilled football fan appreciated a streaming cup of coffee during the course of a crisp autumn game, as Hi-Y members continued their operation of the Snack Shack. From the sale of popcorn, pop, coffee and candy, the club obtained funds which added to their treasury. Ten members represented Alliance at the annual Mock Model Legislature held in Lincoln during Thanksgiving vacation. Through active participation in mock legislative work, Hi-Y members gained a deeper understanding and knowledge of the functioning of the state government. Navy Lieutenant-Commander Ron Evans, a member of the recent manned Apollo space flight, addressed the boys. Group activities also included fun projects because "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” Members and their dates held a weiner roast at Box Butte Dam. They also co-sponsored a Valentine’s Dance with the Y-Teens. 41FFA OFFICERS—Secretary Gary Dickinson. Treasurer Bob Leltl, Sentinel DaveSchwaderer, Reporter Don Neafus, Vice-President Max Dentler. Future Farmers of America Serve Their Community Since Alliance is the center of a strong agricultural community, many boys are oriented to future farming. The aim of FFA is to develop competent, aggressive rural and agricultural leadership, which the boys do accomplish during the year. Activities bring out the spirit of the club. This year, the FFA members entered the Area Stubble Mulch Judging Contest, placing first in land judging and second in stubble mulch judging. The members also participated in the Soil and Water Speech Contest, placing third. As part of their community service program, the FFA members collected trash along our highways, and took part in serving at the annual Co-op Banquet Dinner. F'FA Sponsor, Mr. Kenneth Ware, pauses in his discussion of conservation with President Blaine Wilson. 42A persuasive saleslady, Debbie Kramer, shows off the calendar the DECA is selling as a l%9 project. DECA Club Program Organized at AHS This year DECA has been added to our list of many fine organizations for the students of AHS. DECA or Distributive Education Clubs of America is a national organization of Distributive Education students with a local chapter in each state. It is a vital part of the Distributive Education program. The DECA club program is designed to develop future leaders for marketing and distribution, to provide incentive and recognition for the Distributive Education student, and to build status in public-schools for careers in marketing and distribution. One of the main goals that DECA hoped to achieve this year was to attend the State Leadership Conference in Lincoln. A money-making project was needed in order to raise appropriate funds to attend this conference. Therefore DECA club members joined together and sold cloth calendars which proved to be quite a successful project. DECA Officers and Sponsor—Standing —Mr. John Abbott, sponsor: Vicki Miller, treasurer; Della Rubeck, secretary; Seated—Janet Jackson, parliamentarian; and Deb Kramer, president. Not present was Linda Wasner. 43Language Clubs Gain Membership German Club Officers Treasurer Nancy Reddish, Sponsor Miss Hammond. Reporler Jo Anne Smith, President Della Rubcck, Secretary Doug Rusk, Vice-President Debbie Colerick, Only two years old and already growing at a steady pace are the two language clubs. The German Club, headed by Miss DiAnn Hammond, is on its way to becoming a very influential club in AHS. Not to be forgotten is the Spanish Club, headed by Mrs. Semilina McPeek. Through these clubs the student develops a better understanding of the people of far-away countries. The outstanding club project produced by the two clubs was a Christmas-caroling and supper party. The carols were sung in German and Spanish. After the caroling, the group went to a supper consisting of traditional German and Spanish foods. Spanish Club Officers—Treasurer Kathee Vallejo, Secretary Sharon Hagihara. President Chris Wilkinson. Vice-President Sandy Homrighausen. Sponsor Mrs. Semilina McPeek. 44MUSIC AND DRAMA Blaring trumpets, voices blending in harmony, and a moving tear all characterize involvement in the co-curricular activities of music and drama. Each student exercises his prerogative to pursue his own interests. Modular scheduling provides students an opportunity to indulge in music and drama with less restriction, especially during unstructured time. By working together toward a mutual goal, through inspiration and dedication, music and drama can be recognized as a unique discipline necessary in the education of the well-rounded student. 45Taking a break after practice are senior play cast members, STANDING: Mike Dafney.

Miss Barbara Bobbitt. 46 Proves Senior Drama Challenge A striking change from the comedies preceding it, “All the Way Home" by Tad Mosel presented a challenge to the senior class. Based on the book, DEATH IN THE FAMILY by James Agee, the play presented a director’s problem in casting as the play required several young boys to play supporting roles as well as one major role. Music added depth to the performance and a unique effect was introduced by the use of several Negro spirituals. Elaborate setting and lighting added reality to the play, and a complicated set consisting of an up-stairs room as well as a down-stairs on stage at the same time presented the basic construction problem. Presented on April 10 and 11, the play was directed by Miss Barbara Bobbitt and co-directed by seniors Jody Leach and Kathy Shimp.

Thespians Form Nucleus for School Productions Formation of an actors’ organization has sparked interest in the growing field of drama at Alliance High. Troupe 3146 of the National Thespian Society was formed in the spring by several students interested in drama and has since done much to further the dramatic arts program. Along with their production of the Neil Simon comedy, THE ODD COUPLE, the Alliance Thespians have performed before various organizations throughout the year. THE MOUSE THAT ROARED became a reality after only three weeks of practice as the junior class sponsored play was presented to the public on November 14 and 15. The production turned out well and the audience, as well as the crew, were pleased with the performance. Junior Play Cast—STANDING: Malvin Sherlock, Don Brown, Rusty Reno. Charles Wilson. Mike Lewis.

Choir Members Sing Their Way Through a Successful Season “With a Voice of Singing,” Mixed Choir and Chamber Singers made their debut for the season at the annual Winter Concert. While selections from Handel's “Messiah” were of challenging interest, the appearance of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" was also heartily applauded. Being a part of the choral groups required much devotion and time, as evidenced by early morning practices for Chamber Singers. Though not appreciated at the moment, the group received numerous compliments which proved their value. Participating in numerous school and community programs, AHS singers often presented novel musical additions. Proceeding from contemporary selections to Negro Spirituals, they sang their way from Winter and Spring Concerts, District Music Contest, to Baccalaureate and Commencement. In spring, a successful "Music Man” paraded, displaying the full co-operation and participation needed for an all school musical.

AHS Band Presents Superior Performances The shrill whistle commanded AHS marching musicians to “strike up the band” as another half-time show began with a flourishing fan-fare. Then to the sharp tempo of the drum cadence, a kaleidoscope of floating diamonds and geometric patterns was executed. With the appearance of winter, band members exchanged their marching shoes for a bow tie signalling the entrance of concert season. While preparation for Winter and Spring Concerts consumed much rehearsal time, concentration centered on District Music Contest as musicians labored to maintain their Superior rating. Also on the agenda were numerous parades and an exciting, but tiring, trip to University of Nebraska's Band Day. Displaying the energetic versatility of this group was its wide range of activities, including a spirited Pep Band for rallies and games and an impressive concert band which displayed its talent at graduation. 50 Majorettes — Jill Bignell, Peg Ward, and Jackie Hirst.FRONT ROW: Rhonda Chadwick.

Orchestra Presents Seasonal Concerts An ear-piercing shriek characterizes the beginning of each orchestra class. This sound is emitted from the “tuner,” which each music student learns to operate in order to tune his instrument. Rhythm, as well as intonation, is taught and stressed as a basic fundamental. Varied types of classes are conducted by the orchestra’s new director, Mr. John Cundy. Sectionals, consisting of just one instrument section, the whole orchestra, or full orchestra with the accompaniment of select band members, constitute a full practice schedule. Enriching concerts resulted from the variety in each planned program. Christmas festivities were graced with the presentation of a combined concert of the choir and orchestra. The calendar of activities include a Spring Concert, District Music Contest, and Baccalaureate. Concert Mistress, Debbie Ducrksen and Orchestra Conductor, Mr. John Cundy. 52ATHLETICS Straining muscles and pouring sweat reflect the genuine effort exerted in athletics. Long hours of vigorous practice and strategy briefing are spent in preparation for inter-scholastic competition. Discipline and dedication comprise the fundamental basis of athletic activities and enhance the development of the character of each individual.1969 Varsity Football Team—FIRST ROW: Dennis Johnson.

Bulldogs set the charge against the McCook Bisons in the homecoming game. Varsity Gridmen Endure Punishing Season Lack of experience and crucial injuries marked the fighting Bulldogs with a 1-7 season. Starting early with hard practices under the new leadership of Coach Mike Kennedy, the Bulldogs faced some of the strongest football powers in the state. Spirit remained high on the team and among the school and community supporters. Practices and games never saw a resting player. Terrific defensive play brought home the Bulldog’s only victory when Senior Don Roberts blocked a Ger-ing punt and smothered it in the Gering end zone for the only six points of the game. Injuries throughout the season put inexperienced substitutes into first-string action. The game experience received by the substitutes will prove valuable in coming years. Courage and the desire for victory ran ardently through the minds of the team on the practice field and in the games. Recognition was received by the outstanding players of the '68 football squad. Jerry Tolstedt and Randy Borg were honored as members of the All-Western Conference team and the All-West Big Ten Conference team. Dave Best was honored as a member of the All-West Big Ten Conference team. AHS VARSITY FOOTBALL OPP 0 . . . . .... Chadron . . .19 9 .... Kimball . . .19 0 . . . . ....

The reserve squad gave great prospects for varsity squads of the future. The B-gridmen pounded out a 3-2-1 season with decisive victories. Bright prospects from the reserve squad are headed by Don Brown, Cody Davis, Dick Hewitt, and Chip Smith. A.H.S. football fans should be well rewarded for several seasons by this continuing reserve team's spirit and drive. RESERVE FOOTBALL AHS 58 . . . . Bridgeport OPP. 12 6 . . . . Sidney 7 6 . . . .

Bad breaks including crucial penalties and called back touchdowns prevented this young team from landing in the winning column.

It is an annual occurrence for Bulldog harriers to compete in the state meet. This year the harriers were not denied; they have made the trip for seven years in a row since state competition was begun. This year’s young team was the largest ever assembled at A.H.S. The younger members gained valuable experience in area meets as well as the state meet. Earlier in the season, the harriers won the Western Conference for the third straight year. Past records predict a bright future for A.H.S. harriers.

In the previous years volleyball took a back seat in attendarice but this year the school and community gave helpful support. Hopes for a similar season next year ride on the younger team members.

After a dismal start, the Bulldogs caught fire and wound up second in the West Big Ten Conference. Through the latter part of the season, rebounding and fast-breaking seemed to prove most vital to the Bulldog victories. Game after game, fans realized that the Bulldog team work brought home victories. A strong asset to the team’s potential was the depth on the bench. Seniors Don Roberts, Mike Green, Doug Dietrich, Scott Bates, and Jim Seiler showed skill and determined desire in their last year of high school competition. Juniors Randy Borg, Pat Edwards, and Rich Nolda and Sophomore Lonnie Cowher carry the hopes of an even better season next year.

Rick Walker, Brad Barrows, Tim Spencer, Don Failor, and Jerry Seiler represented a strong nucleus for future Bulldog Campaigns.

Bulldogs Are Runner-up in Western Conference Practicing every night after school on one of the finest golf courses in the state, the Bulldog team acquired playing skill and experience. The Alliance High Golf Team, led by Mike Green, Doug Deitrich, and Randy Borg qualified for the trip to state tournament.

To the following persons go our thanks: To our adviser, Mrs. Alice Nelson, for her untiring willingness to help us and her understanding of our individual problems; to Mr. Bernard Becker and Mr. Stan Bedient for their special services; to the staff of Worley Studio for the professional photography; to the faculty and administration for their cooperation; and to the Taylor Publishing Company, the printers of this book. Without all these people working together as one unit, this book would not have been made possible. 124 WORLEY STUDIO"" Solemn moments accompany graduation as students look fondly on the past and hopefully to the future. New horizons will open for many of the graduates and many will leave this area, but all have colored their understanding of mankind by their early years in the plains of Nebraska. 7 i TJ’ J 125TAYLOR PUBLISHING COMPANY "The World's Best Yearbooks Are Taylor-made" .
