The benches are a popular place for many between classes. Getting the crowd rowdy are members of the "Dog Pack," Tom Adams, Chris Panwit ., and Tim Manion. Not pictured is Tom Laing. Dave Spencer lifts weights to the familiar sound of "one, two, three, exercise." 2 Opening"Impressions in Time" for Many The tree adds a touch of Christmas spirit to the Butte. Keeping up spirit, the cheerleaders play an important role in the game. This year at AHS was a year just like any other except to those 600 students who were attending classes and participating in extracurricular activities. Day after day, students woke to face the routine grind of seven class periods, play rehearsals, meetings, sports practices, early morning band, and last but not least, the constant grueling task of homework. The year left an everlasting memory in the minds of the 137 seniors who crossed the stage for the last time as a student upon receiving their diplomas at graduation. Not only did this year hold memories for the seniors, but also for the underclassmen, who were striving to maintain their own identities with the ultimate goal of becoming seniors themselves. Many may have been unaware of the fact that the events of the school year, both good and bad, left Impressions in Time on the lives of each individual who was a part of the 1980-81 school year at Alliance High School. Standing at attention, Chris Jesse won't even smile for the camera. Opening 3Spare Time—A Time of Impressions Stuart Green and Tom Lauder get a good laugh out of the final score While jogging, junior John Harris gets his second of their match played at the new courts. wind during his final mile. At lunch, Lisa Krause, Rod Vogel, Jenny Wegner, and Tom Laing catch some rays before returning to class. 4 Spare TimeBetween classes, Vicki Mandelberg and Tom Heimbuch enjoy each other's company. Don Reynolds, Dwight Lamm, and Scott Hudgin display their concert souvenirs. Erin Edwards, inventor of "Bumper Lockers," bumps her way to victory over John Harris. Students always seemed to have an abundance of spare time, and each one spent it differently. Some jogged and some swam. Others waited until "snow time" and then "braized" the slopes. Van Halen, KISS, and Bob Seger got a look at the Alliance crowd when some people preferred "concert time." At school, students lined the rails in front of the school, lingered talking with friends or just burning up time. In addition, students spent their free nights at the movies, at the "hut" and yet others cruised the Butte. When God created spare time, he had working in mind for some. ALCO, Pizza Hut, Jack Jill, Dairy Queen, and Taco Johns are places many people can be found. There is spare time, fair time, fun time, sun time. There are great times, gate times, light times, and night times. But the right time is my time. Spare Time 5Homecoming Week Ends With A Victory First in Five Years The new year brought many changes to the Homecoming activities. Spirit week consisted of Twin Day, Color Day, Hillbilly Day, Crazy Hat and Socks Day and Pride Day. The coronation, put on by FBLA, was held Friday during sixth period. After the coronation, the parade down Box Butte Avenue which was the largest in recent years, took place. The traditional burning of the "A" was not held due to the new track. Highlighting the festivities, the volleyball girls, followed by the football team, downed the Gordon Broncs. The eventful week ended with the Homecoming Dance. Approximately 150 couples danced to the music of the Dynamics. Gaining yardage. Pal Colerick rushes for a Bulldog victory.

Seniors take time off on Sunday to decorate their hall. The band adds homecoming spirit by marching in the parade. On twin day Mr. Steve Nelson and Mr. Wayne Brown get into the homecoming spirit. Homecoming spirit shows through in this poster, telling it like it is. Homecoming 7Faces, Places of Today Will Numerous national events have 'highlighted the lives of the students, either directly or indirectly, as the new decade moved forward. The annual World Series was held in late October. The Philadelphia Phillies returned home with a four to three game victory over the Kansas City Royals. Every four years the Presidential elections bring about stories of promises and scandals to every American. The 1980 election was to be one of the closest running races of its time, but to everyone's surprise, Ronald Reagan won by a landslide. Reagan overwhelmed Jimmy Carter by 51 to 49 per cent at the polls, and 483 to 49 electoral votes, and lead a rising Republican Party to control of the Senate for the first time in generations. Tragedy hit Las Vegas, Nevada, on November 21, as the famous MGM Hotel burst into flames. Eighty-four guests were killed and 700 more were injured. The fire was attributed to an electrical short in the kitchen. It was said to be the second largest hotel fire in U.S. history. At 7:36 p.m. on November 23, the Italian earthquake, Europe's worst in 65 years, began. The tremors shuddered from Sicily to the Alps. The quake, reached 6.8 on the Richter Scale, badly damaging historic ruins that had survived the Pompeii, and demolished a nine-story apartment building in Naples. The death toll was expected to climb to more than 10,000. At Pr0r T0 Y0URStLp I V aJAY. 21— • --- ■ y" c . .

Various campaign buttons and momentoes represent the 1980 Presidential candidates and their respective parties. On December 8, the world was shocked to find that one of America's favorite musicians had been needlessly, fatally shot in front of his home in New York City. John Lennon was known by all ages for his wonderful contributions to music. Fifty-two American hostages were released on January 20. The Iranian militants had been holding them since November 4, 1979. Continuing throughout the year was an occasional eruption set off by Mt. Saint Helens volcano in the state of Washington. After 123 years of deceptive inactivity, the volcano erupted on May 18 with a force 5,000 times greater than the Hiroshima A-bomb. One hundred fifty square miles of Douglas fir forests were flattened; 1.5 cubic miles of rock and dirt from the peak became rivers of boiling mud and towering clouds of deadly ash. Sixty-one persons were dead or missing. Everyone seemed to be keeping a close eye on TV's "Dallas". Well-known oil baron J.R. Ewing (Larry Hagman) was conniving, lecherous, and just plain no good. In fact, when he was gunned down, the list of suspects included almost the whole cast. The culprit, J.R.'s ex-mistress, Kristin Shepard (Mary Crosby), was revealed in a November episode that attracted the largest TV audience ever for a regular series. All in all, the 1980-81 school year was filled with many historical events, which will remain in the minds of many for years to come. Current Events 9DECA Sponsors First Halloween Dance In the jack-o-lantern contest, Geraldine Snyder took first place, while Rod Geist took second with an orange. The Halloween dance was a new addition to this year's school activities. The dance was sponsored by DECA to raise money to go to the state convention. The band LA provided music for the dance which approximately 450 people attended. Costumes were optional, but students were encouraged to wear them for a possible prize in the costume contest. Senior Jan Averna and her date Mark Roberts won watches for the best couple costumes. Individual prize winners were Freshman Angie Moore, winning a camera, and Freshman Jim Penny, who received an electronic game. Siamese triplets Lavon Krejci, Tammie Kistler and Lorraine Bowman "stick together" at the dance. A student's personality shows in his costume. Three unidentified ghosts take a break from their haunting. LA, a local band, provided music for the Halloween dance. 10 Halloween Dance Many students find contentment in simply listening to the music Winners in the singles costume contest are Angie Moore and Jim Penny. A lot of time and hard work make up a good performance. Showing a lighter side of a life of crime are gangsters Kerry Girard and Deb Gonzalez. Loren West and Kris Graff return to their childhood days. Halloween Dance 11Divisio.Being the purest form of expression, fine arts appeal to many at AHS. The band brought to the spectators the half time shows and many other performances, along with the choir classes. Art shows, such as the Spring Art Festival, were a major part of the artist's year. Plays have entertained many in the past nine months; these were performed by actors and actresses of the drama classes. Through these outlets, man has expressed his innermost self throughout the ages. Today's artists will without a doubt leave their Impressions in Time, if not for the multitude of people, for themselves.The Raku firing kiln reaches high temperatures which melts and adheres glaze to pottery.'Creation Dream" gains life in Deb Gonzalez's oil painting. The 1980-81 art year satisfied all levels of interest through the aspects of art. Senior Art IV student, Melanie Marsh, practices throwing a pot on the wheel. Arts I and II, an initial experience in art, dealt with the basic fundamentals of drawing, painting, pottery, sculpturing and crafting. Arts III and IV was interwound closely, with only the best Art III students advancing into Art IV. Both of these classes were highly specialized and individualized for competent young artists. Creative arts was and will continue to be another interest in the field of fine arts. Art Club members and Advisor Larry Mannlein set up a tribute art show to senior artists of past years at the Fall Concert. Ed Heckman paints to the lyrics, "It's like a big fist breaking down my door."Marching Band Travels to Pershing Festival Members of the flag team are Angie Moore, Kim Ushio, Joan Bush, Kay Wildy, Elisa Marshall, Wendy Krause, Dorothy Christie, Teresa Christie, Polly Abbott, Lavon Krejci, Pam Kirchner, and LeAnn Littlejohn. Concluding their season on October 25 with the Pershing Marching Festival, the marching band performs to the theme from "Man of La Mancha ' Highlighting their season with the CSC Band Days and the Pershing Marching Festival in Lincoln, the marching band continued to improve in maneuvering abilities and sound qualities. The band received a II rating at Chadron in field execution and best overall award in parade competition. At the Pershing Festival, a II rating was received. The band took on a new look with the debut of new uniforms. Clad in royal blue pants and tops accented with white trim and Columbia blue piping, the outfit was complemented with double blue sashes displaying the school name. The black aussie-style hat completed the attire. The 1980-81 majorettes are: Kris Graff, Marie Mason, and Senior Head Majorette Voni Simpson.' 16 Marching BandDespite Various Styles, Music is Music Rod Bauer adds his talents to the stage band. Mr. Norm Running looks to perfect a song for Friday night. Despite the many styles and forms of notes and rhythms, several of the bands at AHS proved that music is still music. The more current hits were heard from the pep band, which was often used as a spirit band. Such songs as “NFL Today" and "B.J. McKay" were commonly heard abounding from the auditorium. The stage band, a select group used for public performances, presented music in forms of swinging jazz and ballad blues. Such songs as "5=4=3" and "Cute" were performed. Despite it all, music is music. The brass section is an integral part of the pep band. Stage Band 17Music Department's Split Pictured are.

Following a spirited marching season, the Alliance High School Band pursued an active year with in-, door events. The music classes were divided with the vocal and instrumental departments performing separately at concerts. The band entertained a large audience during the Christmas Concert on December 9. This was followed by the Spring Concert on March 30. Preparations for the District Music Contest, held the week of April 20, were an important part of the band's rehearsals. The band's final performance was for graduation on May 24. Heading the band was Mr. Norman Running. He was assisted by President Dave Christensen, Vice-President John Magdaleno, Treasurer Tom Adams, Secretary Lisa Krause and Librarian Kim Ushio. Resting on the timpano, John Magdaleno takes time to listen to the director, Mr. Norman Running. 18 Concert BandCreates Tedious Performance Schedule Pictured are fifth row: Chris Panwitz, Sparky Pryor, Chris Jesse, Tim Kramer, Lonnie Levi, Mark Waddell, and student teacher Sharia Myers; fourth row: Tom Heimbuch, Jim Langston, Rex Laughlin, Pauline Schance, Roy Schnell, Wendy Lyster, Kirk Peterson, Blake Mahnke, Paul Lauder, Traci Bush; third row: Brad Maze, Tom Lauder, Jeanne Sterner, Brett Maze, Brad Beiber, Bryan Morgan, LeAnn Littlejohn, Theresa Christie; second row: Denise Preble, Darci McLean, Cheryl Hart, Bessie Kochiras, Elissa Marshall, Maria Davis, Ann Langner, Dorothy Christie; first row: Lisa Renteria, Voni Simpson, Kim Ushio, Kay Butzine, Kerri Thompson, Marie Mason, and Peggy Thompson.

Sophomore Lavon Krejci also helps the choir by accompanying at practices. Sopranos prove there is "More than Music" involved in choir. Visiting the Homecoming Parade is the concert choir's float. Hard days' practices, infuriated directors, hyperactive students, and many headaches were characteristics of the AHS Concert Choir's drive to Wayne State. Wayne State Festival was held in Wayne, Nebraska, on March 23 and 24 on the Wayne State Campus. To obtain money for the trip, the choir sold T-sirts and held a sock-hop on February 7, with D.J.'s for entertainment. The choir was able to raise approximately $170.00 on the sock-hop. In the midst of all the preparation for Wayne, the choir gave two concerts and made a choir float for the Homecoming Parade. All in all, it was a busy and successful year for the concert choir.

Although there are many "dos and don'ts" in the music field, exact tone is a must for Don Peaster. The musical swing at AHS was sectioned between two groups. Girls Glee, often called the Choralettes, performed at the Christmas party for Electric Hose and Rubber Company and for various other businesses. Blue Persuasion was more confined to classroom work. However, the group did give three public concerts and attended the Nebraska Wesleyan Workshop in Scottsbluff on March 12. The majority of Mr. Thomas Lauder's personnel this year were underclassmen, so next year looks promising for the swing choirs at Alliance High School. 22 Swing ChoirHelen, Wendy Lyster, and Betty, Traci Bush, take their children to see Santa Claus in their make-believe car.

Theatre Classes Perform Christmas Plays for Students The fifth and seventh hour theatre classes got into the Christmas spirit by writing and producing their own holiday skits. Each class was divided into two groups for the performance of the skits, with three weeks of class time devoted to their preparation. Both aspects of writing and producing earned grades for the students. The subjects ranged from an Iranian Christmas to a spoof of "The Wizard of Oz." The skits provided holiday entertainment for a group of sixth graders and high school students, along with providing a learning experience for the theatre students. The insane Santa Claus, Jim Watson, attempts to strangle the little girl, Betsy Simpson.

Alpha Beta Fraternity Invades the Stage of AHS The La conga line, led by Mrs. Butterworth (Maureen Kelly) is a demonstration of old time dancing. Alpha Beta Fraternity invaded the stage of Alliance High School on the nights of May 1 and 2, in the form of the spring play, "Toga, Toga, Toga!" The zany and wacky ways of the Alpha Beta group and the combined student attitudes of craziness and seriousness allowed the production to be a great success for Director Miss Janet Swarthout and her assistants, Tracy Thies and Bob Maxwell. Almost two months of practices and set construction were needed for the arrival of opening night. With a total cast of twenty-five students and an additional crew of twenty-four ranging from freshman to seniors, the play set a record with the largest company in recent Alliance High School play production history. Kris Rieman makes sure that Kris Graff's makeup is perfect for the opening night performance. 24 All-School PlayMelissa has her ways of finding George's rent money. Phi Zeta Tau snobs.

Bob Maxwell does his frog impression at Happy Joe's during a mime show. A new mime troupe was initiated this year by the theatre department. Miss Janet Swarthout, the drama and speech teacher, was the sponsor of the group. Mime is an art which involves much body action but no talking. Each member of the mime troupe chose his own skit or interpretations to perform. These interpretations by the members ranged from a portrayal of a flower, to a marionette dance to the tune of "It's a Small World." In October the troupe performed at Happy Joe's Pizza Parlor. In between shows, the mimists waited on tables. In November, the troupe helped the Gambles store celebrate their "Grand re-opening 26 Mime TroupeFine Arts Represented Well This Year Juniors Tom Adams, Maureen Kelly, Bob Maxwell, Lisa Renteria and Betsy Simp- Senior Jorene Sutton wins the honored John son receive a superior rating for their Oral Interpretation of Drama at the district Philip Sousa band award, contest held in Scottsbluff.

Fine Arts Achievements 27tiVitiefc Whether it's 8:00, 12:04, or after the 3:14 bell rings, many students headed to a variety of activities other than the normal seven periods a day. These activities include the clubs, which help to bring young people into contact with others who have similar interests. These groups provided many services to the student body as well as the public. The concession stand at every sporting event was opened by the A-Club and FFA. DECA provided many employees to fill the job openings around town. Art Club distributed the senior T-shirts. AFS gave students a chance to see what other countries were like by bringing exchange students to AHS, and Student Council took care of many problems that came from packing 600 students into a building for eight hours a day, and, therefore, made the school year much more pleasant. The impressions that are made in these activities are two-fold; each individual has left his impression on the club of which he has been a part, but the club has provided some worthwhile experiences to the members, which may make an even larger impact on the individual for years to come. FCA Grows with Addition of Girls The Fellowship of Christian Athletes grew into something bigger and better with the addition of a girls' “huddle." The members attended an FCA retreat in Gering, and more youth and adults became involved. Activities at a regular meeting included listening to tapes and viewing films. Meeting topics included: "Christ and Athletics—Do They Mix?", "Dating," and "Good Sportsmanship in Athletics." Occasional meetings were held with boys and girls together. The members hope that next year will be as rewarding as this year has been. During a regular meeting, the members and sponsors pay close attention to points of interest. tP TAL (tn Senior Karrie Rieman listens attentively to an FCA tape.

Dave Christensen uses the new video tape machine to film the games. Despite severe organization problems, A-Club managed to stay alive in the school system. Their main project this year was to raise money to buy the school a new video tape machine for filming athletic events. The machine made it possible for the coaches to play the tape in the presence of their team and explain what problems they had and how they could correct them. Along with their annual initiation of new members and running the concession stand for volleyball and basketball games, they held a football camp for students in grade school. This camp was to provide the players with the basic plays, rules of the game, and prepare them for high school competition. Returning members plan to strengthen the club next year by adding a new variety of activities. Kent Piihl, Chris Panwitz, Brad Beiber and Chad Schlichtemeier find A-Club initiation quite embarrassing. Officers are: Sec-Treas. Darci McLean, Sgt. at Arms Pat Colerick, V-Pres.

Several members help with the young students at the Bicycle Safety Program at the elementary schools. For only its second year in existence, FBLA had a large membership and a successful year. They sold candy grams at Christmas time to help them earn money for the state convention in April. As an out-of-town activity, officers installed the Minatare Chapter and discussed convention plans. For homecoming, FBLA organized the coronation of royalty. With Tedi Smith announcing, Dave Christensen crowned Lilias Smith as queen, and Darci McLean crowned Brad Liggett as king. Members also sold sandwiches at the volleyball tournaments and finally raised enough money for thirteen members and two sponsors to make the trip to Omaha. Taking tests and attending award assemblies were just a few of the activities they engaged in. Karrie Rieman and Cheri Nagaki received honorable mention for their special project on the ASC book. While having a good time on the trip, members also brought back many new ideas for the upcoming year. 32 Future Business Leaders of AmericaDECA Members Honored at State Convention in Omaha Officers: Secretary Joyce Riggs, President Ed Heckman, Treasurer Tory Iossi, Public Relations Clay Fanning, and Historian Lilias Smith. Not pictured are Vice President Melanie Marsh and Junior Vice President Sondie Clutter. Brenda Haller measures, while Joyce Riggs stirs their spectacular dessert in the bake-off. Although DECA was a club that received little recognition in the past, this year's members were determined to change all that. They held a Halloween Costume Dance in the gym for grades nine-twelve. The best costume contest and the jack-o-lantern contest were judged by volunteer teachers. The band LA played from 9-12 p.m. and the dance was an overwhelming success, bringing almost $900 at the door. The money was used to send the top eleven point scoring members to the state convention held in Omaha at the Red Lion Inn. Points were given to members for attending meetings, participating in activities, and dressing up on Wednesdays. Clay Fanning was DECA's top winning participant in Food Marketing at the supervisory level. This enabled him to compete in nationals at Anaheim, California, in early June. Other members winning special recongition were Ina Schultz, Ed Heckman, and Tory Iossi. The members also sponsored a Tennis Tournament in early May with all proceeds going to the March of Dimes to help aid research, studying birth defects. Although everyone was pleased with this year's performance, DECA members are hoping for an even better year in 1982.

With the help of their new sponsor. Miss Janet Swarthout, the Thespians underwent several changes. The fall initiation dinner was held at the Methodist Church, with the club officers conducting the meeting. Initiation for the members consisted of a three to five minute memorized cut of a theatrical play, after which a vote of the members was taken to determine the acceptance of a member. To be a Thespian, one must also have acquired ten points gained from play participtaion, set construction, and theatre class participation.

President Deb Gonzalez completes the painting on the side of the vocational building. With only 14 members, Mr. Larry Mannlein's Art Club kept the saying alive that "big things come in little packages." The club's goal for the 1980-81 year was to promote the visual arts whenever and wherever possible. While working toward their goal, they designed the new art storage cabinets and the painting on the side of the octagon building. They also designed the Bulldog head used in the homecoming parade. The members held a Christmas art exhibit, a retrospective art exhibit, and a spring art festival. Limited to Art IV students. Art Club held social gatherings, such as a barbecue, a taco dinner and the usual student horsing around. Art Club 35AFS, German Club Learn of Foreign Cultures 1980-81 American Field Service President John Harris and Sponsor Mr. Jim Kuehn. The American Field Service at AHS has only been in action three years, but the club has opened many new horizons for its members. Each year, AFS sponsors a foreign exchange student. Sue Powell, from England, was the 1980-81 exchange student. AFS took Sue on a field trip to Scottsbluff and attended out-of-town meetings to meet some other Nebraska exchange students. Senior Karrie Rieman exhibits the German Club's T-shirts, displaying the slogan, "Kiss me, I speak German." Due to small membership, the German Club's activities were somewhat limited; however, the group put their money-making plans into action by selling "ghost-a-grams" for Halloween. They also held a sock-hop after a basketball game. To add spirit, they pur-chased German T-shirts. Mr. Ivan Polyakov was the sponsor. A student was eligible for German Club if they had taken German as a course, or were presently taking German. Sue Powell, AFS foreign exchange student from England, listens closely as seniors make class decisions. Mr. Polyakov explains Germany's geography.

Officers are: President Eric Edwards, Vice-President Brad Liggett, Secretary Kim Green, and Treasurer Lee Walker. Along with a new year came new excited officers for the Student Council. Members found themselves busy sponsoring various activities throughout the year. They wanted to make life at school just a little bit better for everyone. For the teachers, they held a faculty breakfast on Tuesday, Dec. 22, to help speed up the last day before vacation. To keep the students occupied, they held a Necking Dance where they measured the size of one's neck to determine how much he paid for admission. At the dance, they crowned the “Jesters of the Court," a girl and a boy from each class. The "Jesters" were as follows: ninth grade—Theresa Christie and Kenny Erickson; tenth grade—Mary Doherty and Mike Erickson; eleventh grade — Deb Zurn and Scot Parish; and twelfh grade—Brad Liggett and Joan Zurn. Kiss-o-grams, Hershey kisses with a note that the sender wrote, were sold near Valentine's Day to put a little spark in a friend's life. These were just a few of the many ways the Student Council shortened the 180 days from September through May.

Members of the club strived to strengthen the function of the family as the basic unit of society and to become aware of the roles of men and women in today's society.

Although many students did not realize it, Mr. Don Crowder emphasized this point very clearly during the orientation on the first day of school. Throughout the following nine months, between August and May, the classes attended were wide and varied, catering, to an extent, to each individual's likes and dislikes. As the final day approached for the seniors, they came to realize that the last thirteen years had not been spent in vain, but rather preparing them for their futures. Completing daily assignments along with taking tests, was a crucial part of the underclassmen's climb to the top, and without a doubt, all of this work and struggle will leave its impressions on these students forever.j A , lEpW jptyr • UiLRevamping the GED program are Georgia Overstreet, Comm.

Jan Johnson Barb Nansel 68 Administration OfficeAdministration, Office Keep School Running As in past years, the administration was forced to come up with new procedures to handle the increased number of students and the problems that arise with such an increase. One of the major decisions made that was most obviously seen by the student body was the implementation of a new truancy policy. Notification of parents, mandatory testing, and suspension were incorporated, and after twenty-one unexcused period absences, legal procedure and possible expulsion were enacted. Another major change came with the board's decision to withdraw from the Big Ten Conference. The administrators' feelings were that the advantages of the membership in the conference could no longer be justified. Personnel in the office were constantly on the go, keeping the school in an organized manner and Secretaries Barb Nansel and Jan Johnson pause as they near the completion of their day's work. fulfilling many tedious tasks. In addition to controlling the basic functions of the school, secretaries Barb Nansel and a newcomer to the staff, Jan Johnson, had to arrange and rearrange schedules, sell the new eight-lunch meal tickets, and issue makeup and admittance slips. Mr. Dick Boness was also busy during his second year as activities director, supervising various clubs and performing his basic assistant principal duties. Principal Don Crowder was once again in constant demand, helping teachers with discipline problems and simply making sure the school day flowed smoothly in all areas. With the aid of the office personnel and administration, the school was able to function efficiently, thus making school more enjoyable for students and faculty. Present office personnel relieve their tensions by joking with some former staff members. Administration Office 69Vocabulary and Composition Curriculums Most people think of English as being mainly literature. Although students read a variety of books, they were also exposed to many other English-related studies. Basic grammar and vocabulary remained an important part of every English level. With the addition of new workbooks. Vocabulary and Composition Through Pleasurable Reading, students found their work considerably easier. This year more stress was placed on research papers and book reports. These areas could be chosen by the students with the approval of the teacher. With a variety of projects, students learned the various aspects of English. Senior Tom Bourquin completes a workbook exercise on reading comprehension. Mrs. Petersen discusses the aspect of satire in Gulliver's Travels. Breaking from a reading of Romeo and uliel are the freshmen Bernard Becker Lila Fiebig Steve Nelson Eunice Petersen 70 EnglishEnhanced Through "Pleasurable Reading" Seniors in Mrs. Peterson's Project English class find spare time for a good laugh during their discussion on Great Expectations.

Terry Trenkle Patricia Way Sherry Yost Lisa Furrow works on her “Career Planning Booklet" for her sophomore English class. English 71Communications Look for Expansion Oral Communication is an important factor in life. Speech and theatre classes were designed to help the students become communicators by teaching them to organize thoughts and apply them to public speaking. The speech classes touched on parliamentary procedure, broadcasting, story telling, and oral interpretation. The Theatre classes developed characterization, make-up, reader's theatre and writing plays. Languages helped students not only learn a foreign language, but also give them a better understanding of their own. With an increase in enrollment, the main focus was on learning the basics of German and Spanish and the culture of the people. Both the language and drama classes are looking for expansion next year. Ivan Polyokov Lana Hart listens to Mr. Polyokov relfect on his life in Germany. Kay Wildy makes a final check over her German paper before handing it in.

Jenny Wegner works diligently to meet a deadline. Miss Way and John Harris discuss a Fine Arts copy, as Jenny Wegner looks on. Annual Captures The Year's Imprint “Type that copy!" “Who can take a picture at noon?" "Make that layout!" "The deadline is in two days." Those are just a few of the familiar sounds one heard as he walked past the annual room. To help produce a better annual, the staff took part in two workshops. One was in Scottsbluff, where the majority of the new staff members learned some basic yearbook techniques, and one was in Lincoln, where four staff members gathered new ideas from around the country and within the state of Nebraska. Here the annual staff learned the importance of tying in state and local affairs to their school. To raise money for their annual, the staff held a sock-hop and sold old pictures from past years. With the money raised and the knowledge gained, the annual staff was able to produce the 1981 "BULLDOG!" Brenda Powell adds the finishing touches to a page in her underclassmen section. Annual 73 Marie Mason, Betsy Simpson, and Kim Ushio work diligently to meet an upcoming deadline. “Short Sports", holiday puzzles, and columns on alcohol and drugs were just some of the articles included in the Spud. The school newspaper provided the students with the inside story on sports, national issues and the writer's opinion. The Spud staff consisted of: Brenda Appleyard, Jan Averna, Clay Fanning, Lori Griffith, Lori Montague, Terri Mundt, Lilias Smith, Tom Adams, Kim Bedient, Chris Beiber, Kim Beiber, Randy Burkhart, Greg Carter, Lori Clark, Marsha Clark, Sondie Clutter, Lisa Fischer, Deb Gonzalez, Darcy Henderson, Mike Jackson, Dora Kochiras, Jonnie Schultz, and Deb Mosser. The use of talent and hard-work produced AHS's newspaper, the SPUD. The Spud activities didn't end with the editing and publication, as the Journalism I and II students sold ads, researched news issues, and took photographs. Annual Spud Staffs Bring School to Life Tory Iossi and Denise Preble strive for perfection in typing their copy for organizations. The editorial staff included: Brad Brass, Lilias Smith, Mike Jackson, Karen Fillinger, Lori Montague, Lori Griffith, Jan Averna, Brenda Appleyard, Melanie Marsh, and Voni Simpson. 74 Annual SpudCo-Editors Karen Fillinger and Terri Mundt work on a prom layout while Sponsor Mr. Trenkle, gives them some helpful hints.

Kim Bedient concentrates intently on making her final copy perfect copy for press. Spud 75Math is Always Useful, Versatile The math department continued to expand students' use of logic and intuition. After two years of required math, the student could decide whether or not to continue in this field. They chose from Algebra I and II, advanced algebra, everyday math, consumers' math, geometry and math analysis. The knowledge gained in math courses was also very useful. For instance, a strong background in this area will be beneficial in such professions as accounting, engineering, surveying, preparing one's own tax returns, or simply balancing a checkbook. Thus, Alliance High offered a wide variety of math classes for a wide variety of fields, and attempted to prepare students for their future everyday lives. Through a step-by-step demonstration, Nancy Gies gives the class greater understanding. Kay Butzine discovers that help is required when complex algebra problems become difficult to grasp. Mr. Brown's algebra classes find that extra class time is valuable when assignments are due daily. Wayne Brown Jim Hawk Jim Kuehn 76 MathScience Courses Offer Something Different Mr. Stout points out certain structures of the clam to Sarah Lewis and Jill Kirchner. Mr. Marchant and Tom Heimbuch check if any precipitation has collected in the test tube. Michelle Erickson and Brenda Borg compare their clam's anatomy to the diagram in their Modern Biology textbook. Unlike math, English or social studies courses, science classes offered something more. Students in biology or anatomy and physiology, under the guidance of Mr. Bill Stout and Mr. Larry Yost, dissected many things such as crayfish, cats, earthworms, and frogs. This helped individuals learn more about their own bodies. In addition, filmstrips and video tapes added a better understanding of the subject matter. Physical science classes, chemistry, advanced (organic) chemistry, and physics, taught by Mr. Bill Marchant, and earth science, under Mrs. Teresa Nelson, utilized many in-class activities, such as lab work and demonstrations prepared by students. With the wide variety of classes offered by the science department, everyone could add a little bit of science to their schedule. Science 77Social Studies is More Than History History is usually thought of as just the memorization of dates and places. However, the social studies department proved that this assumption is incorrect. Various projects helped the students realize their position in society and cope with problems in which they may be involved. These activities included listening to a presentation on drugs, speaking with Senator Sam Cullen, preparing portfolios that taught them how to buy and sell stocks, speaking with realtors on selling and purchasing a house, and more. Many of these activities were provided by outside sources. To get the entire school involved, the Modern Problems class sponsored a sock hop and used the profits to purchase Christmas gifts for orphans. Dates and places had to be learned also, but teachers made this task more interesting through the use of discussion and video tapes. As a result, students gained knowledge of their past, their government, and the economic systems, while learning to deal with the future. Individualized help is one area the social studies teachers emphasize. Here, Miss Ellen Christensen aids Junior Lori Taylor with American history. Lori Montague, Brenda Appleyard, and Doug Shankland listen intently as Senator Sam Cullen expresses his views on the drinking age and the paraphernalia bill. Ellen Christensen Bill Furman Alice Greve Phil Schweitzer 78 Academics Social StudiesArt: What a Relief A break from the daily grind of school was brought about by several fine arts classes. Mr. Norm Running provided the direction for those seeking self-expression through marching band, pep band, concert band, and stage band. Others who enjoyed expressing themselves vocally could participate in concert choir, Choralettes, or swing choir, in which dancing was integrated. All groups were under the direction of Mr. Thomas Lauder. Mr. Larry Mannlein guided art students through instruction in sculpturing, acrylic and oil painting, perspective drawing, and pottery. Independent study, as well as classroom work, helped students find their best medium. The arts helped students be individuals by permitting them to participate in non-academic classes. Utilizing patience and craftsmanship. Junior Doug Clark works on his clay head sculpture. Maureen Kelly breaks from playing pep band music to convey an important message to Brad Maze. Swing Choir members warm up on their own. Larry Mannlein Norman Running Thomas Lauder Fine Arts 79P.E. Provides Recreation for Everyone P.E. offered various recreation aside from that offered by the athletic department. Some of these included badmitton, table tennis, bowling and soccer. After the rules of these games were learned and the individual's skills were perfected, skills tests, as well as written tests were given. In the spring and fall, physical fitness tests were taken; thus, students could see their improvement. For those students who wanted to continue their physical fitness skills, advanced P.E. was offered. Here, sports with more difficult skills, such as racquetball, were offered. Another alternative to P.E. was weight training. In this course, students learned the various types and methods of lifting weights. Some benefitted by conditioning themselves for athletics. So, by offering all different forms of recreation, students could enjoy themselves while gaining physical fitness. Teamwork is an essential while lifting weights. Clay Fanning concentrates on pushing himself to get through his last squat during weight training. Marcy Edminster keeps a close eye on the ball to prevent her opponent from scoring. Larry Yost Sandra Pilfold Pat Cullen 80 Physical Education Weight TrainingSpecial Education Looks at Potentials Special ed teacher Bev Ackerman aids Tracey Squibb. The Resource Program, under the direction of Clayton Ilian and under the classroom direction of Karen Speck, Beverly Ackerman and Lorraine Boness, strived to develop each student's special skills to their best level. Mr. Ilian promoted the idea of an individual curriculum for each student, as well as the assurance that each student received individual attention. Beginning in 1978, the current special education system was started and since then has expanded to include not only such necessities as cooking, physical education and classroom work, but work study classes, career explorations and the development of occupational skills. With physical education a must, an exciting game of "hoops" is appealing to Richie Shimp. Special Education 81Vocational Courses Provide Useful With a large and well-equipped vocational department, students were able to benefit greatly from the various courses offered. The skills obtained from these programs will be extremely helpful in the future. For instance, the knowledge learned in such areas as bookkeeping, typing, shorthand, office procedures and distributive education should be adventageous to students in a future business career or college. Classes such as woods, drafting, welding, electricity and auto-tech taught students many useful skills that could lead to a possible mechanical profession. The home economics department also taught enjoyable, useful skills which prepare students for life after graduation. With a wide range of courses to choose from, everyone can benefit from this department. Co-operation is found to be the needed key to success in woodworking. Adult living students express their personal views on a filmstrip concerning early child care. Through continuous drills. Junior Lorna Therrien improves her secretarial skills.

Librarian assistant Mrs. Helen Maxwell helps the li brary run more efficiently. The library made available many resources to help students in their academic endeavors. Mrs. Running was promoted to head librarian and Mrs. Maxwell became the librarian's aide. Mr. McCall was in charge of all AV materials. In compliance with the new truancy policy, a time clock was installed to punch student passes. The Guidance Team helped students with test registrations, college applications and scholarships, career choices, and personal problems. Peer dynamics, a class in peer communication and self awareness, was successfully completed by approximately twenty students. Guidance Team members include: Counselor Bill Reno, Bruce Rockey, Ellen Christensen, and Eunice Petersen.

After lunch, janitors Rafous Turbough and Esmeragdo Nunez mop the cafeteria floor. Cooks are Dixie Simpson, Joyce Lauer, Joyce Lawrence, Max Culton, Elsa Smith, Nancy Smith, Sandy Waldron, and Margaret Garret. Providing the school with the necessary services of cleaning and maintenance were the custodians Rafous Turbough and Esmeragdo Nunez. Also helping out part-time was Robert "Red" Wilmott. They all spent many long hours keeping the school in good clean working condition. Also spending many hours at school were the cooks. While cooking for the high school students, they also prepared the meals for the middle school and the grade schools. While attempting to carry out her duties, school nurse Thelma Merritt jokingly expressed, "I'm getting sick and tired of this game of chasing students!" But the students knew she liked the fun just as much as they did. All efforts of the staff members helped the school run more efficiently and were greatly appreciated by students, teachers, and administrators. School Nurse Thelma Merritt reveals the shocking news of Marie Mason's height. Staff 85Awards, Standing Ovations Many individuals were recognized as they received various awards at the May 18 Honors Convocation. Several were recognized for outstanding academic achievement.

Each grade had their own “closeness," but when all together, everyone got along and made up AHS. Many students felt they were just here, but they didn't realize each and every one of them had left an Impression in Time within the halls of AHS. r •; + sf 7 - Division 9 136 Seniors Take Final Steps to Graduation After many hours of studying, listening to class room lectures and completing school assignments, the senior year finally arrived for the Class of '81. Along with the arrival of their final ye; r came many traditional activities, such as ordering caps and gowns, signing classmate's memory books, and attending some rather controversial class meetings, particularly concerning their class song. The year also consisted of making a homecoming float and wearing the class T-shirt designed by the Art Club, "I Survived AHS, Barely." A committee of Jody Nelson, Bruce Suetsugu, Lilias Smith, Deb Gonzalez, and Jorene Sutton was elected to pick out the senior announcements, to set up the class meetings, and to plan the class' ten year reunion. The happy times the seniors have shared together in high school are now only reflections in time. These are reflections of lasting friendships and lingering memories, which are special to every senior in their own way.

Tracy Thies and Brad Liggett are elected by their fellow classmates to be senior class speakers. Thoughts of graduation bring a smile to Tracy Bush. Melanie Marsh seems relieved to receive her diploma. Seniors make last minute prepartions for graduation. Graduation 105Juniors Honor Seniors As They Brenda Appleyard, Dora Kochiras and their dates Mario Flores and Randy Yost enjoy conversation between dances. After the work comes the reward, as shown by many who forget their problems and have a good time. Patience and time are necessary to create the chosen theme of “London Town." The money set aside for the junior-senior prom this year was creatively used. Approximately 100 couples took the subway over a bridge to "London Town." This theme was carried out with a park, decorated with hedges, a fountain and parachutes overhead to create the feeling of a cloudy night, and an outside cafe. The band, "Flirtin", from Lincoln, was set up in a palace. A fog machine was used to create a romantic setting. Junior class officers Kay Butzine, Brenda Vandeventer and Marie Mason were in charge of the decorating committees, collecting dues, and were instrumental in making "London Town" a memorable evening. 106 PromBoard Subway to "London Town" 1981 Prom Royalty are 1st attendants Pat Colerick and Kim Ushio, King Tom Wildy and Queen Kim Beiber, 2nd attendants Kim Green and Tom Laing.

Prom, ACT tests and preparing for college kept the junior class constantly busy. Prom is traditionally arranged by the juniors. Choosing a theme, forming committees, and decorating are just a few of the duties faced by the group. To raise money, the class of '82 sponsored a sock-hop and a bake sale, and received donations from various groups. Looking toward college, the class started making preparations by visiting with school representatives and taking ACT tests to help them make important decisions on their future destinations.

The class also organized early enough in the year to take part in the Homecoming parade and hall decorating. As a sophomore, many students took the opportunity to get some of the required classes out of the way. Academic classes required were their second year of math, P.E., science, and English. Along with school subjects, many sophomores turned 16, enabling them to get their driver's license. For some, a driver's license added more fun and an important phase of their lives.

Melanee Petersen Janice Pierce Kent Piihl Kevin Piihl Mike Pritchard Garry Rasmussen Melodie Reeve Tannya Reeve Molly Reilly Carol Renteria Cecilia Requejo Living in a rat-race world where everybody is constantly on the move, we often find ourselves running out of time. On these days, we find our luck has turned against us, and things happen, over which we have no control. An example is like the day one has a "flat-tire" or a "dead battery". Although these excuses sound reasonable, there are some, one would have to question. The office receives many questionable excuses throughout the year, some being; "I was in jail"; my dog was having pups"; and "I was on my honeymoon." No matter how many excuses the office got for being late, most students blamed it on somebody else. "I was late because my mom didn't get me up", or "I had to wait on my sister." Whether one blames it on the rat-race world or something else, the office will continue to receive plenty of excuses for being late.

Without the support of the community, many of the school activities would not be possible. Even as inflation reached the double digit figure of twelve per cent, the patrons of Alliance were eager to finance many activities around school. Through this extra funding, more activities were made available to the student body. 128 Ads Division Ads Division 129Bruce Furniture West 3rd 762-6980 Free Parking Free Delivery Credit Available Where Quality Brand Name Furniture Is Sold For Less Catch that Pepsi Spirit.

Throughout this book, an attempt was made to capture the events that have left an impression on every individual. Many of these occurrences, such as the assassination attempt on President Reagan's life, the many natural disasters, and the new truancy policy, left most people shocked and confused. This year was also filled with many happy moments: the return of the hos- tages, the unusually mild winter weather and the competing of the Alliance Spikers and wrestlers in State competition. In the years to come, by looking back through this record of memories, one will be able to recall times that were significant and others of a more trivial nature. No matter which category one's recollections fall into, they will undoubtedly become Impressions in Time.
