Students’ Unique Pastime Activities Angie Moore displays one of her cases of insects. Everyone knows what AHS students did while they were in school this past year, but how did they have fun when they weren't busy with academic work? The main activity for teens on weekends was Crusin’ the Butte” as it has been for many generations. Although most parents have always thought this a waste of gas, they did it too! On weekends, during the school year, one may have seen Kathy Bainter riding her horse, Misty, at Laing Lake Park. Barrel racing has been a specialty of the two. She has had Misty for nearly two years. Entomology has been a longtime activity of Angie Moore. She has entered her insects in the county fair for eight years and usually placed pretty high. Kathy Bainter and Misty go for a brisk winter ride. Speed skating became a new interest in Eric Schafer's life. Up until last September, he was the typical roller skater, out to boogie with the beat of the music; as of the past year, he’s out for blood. He and 12 others have completed in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Part time jobs also have been in the focus of AHS students. The many eating places have provided work for many people. McDonald's has seemed to be the main spot for jobs. Other extracurricular activities included playing racquetball and participating in 4-H. These took place throughout the year. Even without all of the fancy malls and things of big cities. Alliance's youth somehow always found things to preoccupy themselves. Pastimes 9

Totally Awesome; This past year seemed to be marked with new words, such as ter sherr” and tubular. However, one old word, awesome, became a real biggie. There were several connotations of this word. The dictionary defined it as causing terror; weird.” The Valley Girls, a group in southern California, have a very unique language, which has spread to many parts of the U.S. The definition was “thoroughly incredible , which many AHS students related to. Awesome has described the students and school year at AHS. Sophomore Terri Rowe displays her comical reaction to what ten years of school can do to a student, both physically and mentally. At the new students' dinner in September, sponsored by the Student Council, many council members and students new to Alliance High seem to be all wrapped up in having fun.
