A.H.S. VIDEO YEARBOOK FIRST EVER IN THE WORLD! Alton High School had the distinct honor of being the first High School in the world to have a video yearbook. Sue Wilson and Claudia Walters of Copy Cat Video created the 90 minute videotape which featured highlights of the 1983-1984 school year including plays, sports, awards, and graduation. Perhaps the most Valuable portion of the tape was the optional personal interview which a student could have included on his or her tape. Sue and Claudia were interviewed on “Good Morning America as well as numerous other T.V. programs and newspapers. A second Copy Cat Video Yearbook is in production for the 1984-1985 School Year.

Ninety percent of the proceeds will go to Africa and ten percent will stay in the U.S. It is hoped that 250 million dollars will be raised through the single and album titled “We are the World. Unreleased songs from various artists were donated to fill the double album. A full length video of the artists working on “We are the World will be released also. There comes a time when we heed a certain call When the world must come together as one There are people dying And it's time to lend a hand to life The greatest gift of all We can't go on pretending day by day That someone, somewhere will soon make a change We are all a part of God's great big family And the truth, you know, Love is all we need CHORUS: We are the workworld, we are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day Just you and me Send them your heart so they'll know that someone cares And their lives will be stronger and free As God has shown us by turning stones into bread So we all must lend a helping hand REPEAT CHORUS: When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all But if you just believe there's no way we can fall Let us realize that a change can only come When we stand together as one REPEAT CHORUS: FEATURES 5
