Students at AHS Creatively Show Their Art students were enlightened in the areas of study such as perspective, painting, pottery and other various units involving the subject of art. To many of the students, art was a unique, emotional outlet in which they could express themselves freely. Over 130 students were enrolled in either Freshmen Art, General Art, Advanced Art I, or Advanced Art II, with most of them being in the freshmen and general art classes. Reflecting on his various art classes, Mr. Larry Mannlein, instructor, said, There were more students in my classes this year than I have had in any other year I have taught here. I like to see the talent that students walk in with every year, especially the new students, and I like to make them aware of it so that they may continue working on that talent. The things that I like to teach the most are projects that bring out the creative qualities of students, but then I also like to work with drawing assignments, not only because it is fun, but because it is a fundamental of art as well.” Mr. Mannlein also likes to paint and make pottery in his spare time. Art has affected the attitudes of many students at AHS. Some of the things they did were challenging, some were very basic, but art was one of the classes that provided students with the opportunity to be the most creative and expressive.

Happiness Is ... Charlie Brown You're a good man, Charlie Brown ... the lights dim and sixteen children formed a picture around Charlie Brown. When the lights were raised once again, the children, including their pet dog, take their final bow. On May 9,10,11 and 12, Alliance High performed the spring play, You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. The play was an uplifting, colorful play, full of music, comedy, and a lot of action. For four nights, the Alliance High stage was turned into the land of comic strips and children. Through each scene throughout the play, Peanuts members are shown in various situations through the day, handling their problems with humor and wit. The play ended in a total success. Besides the satisfaction of this success, cast members felt something deeper. Play pianist Vesta Curtiss smiled a little as she commented, When the play started, we were just a group with a common goal, but during the two months of rehearsals, we got to know each other better. We supported each other and shared many special moments, which united us and gave us strength to do our four great performances! With the last lingering notes of the piano. Alliance High theatre settled down to rest for the summer, saying its final good-bye to many of its faces,but yet welcoming into its presence, many new faces.
