 You Can't Take It With You was the fall theatre production at AHS. The cast included some of the school's most talented actors as well as ♦some new faces. Even a new director was added to the theatre department, Mr. Peter Henderson. With the rehearsals being long and tiring, the cast's end result was a well performed comedy about the daily life of the crazy Sycamore family. Alice, the daughter of Paul and Penny Sycamore, is a normal, common, every day secretary who works for Kirby Co.. The vice president of the business, Tony Kirby, is in love with Alice. She fears that a marriage between her and Tony would not work because of the social differences between their families. The Sycamore family is not what one would consider to be the normal everyday family. For eight years. Penny has been writing plays that do not make any sense. Essie, Alice's sister, has been dancing for eight years and has made no noticeable progress. Then there is Grandpa, who quit his job many years ago to enjoy the more simply pleasures of life. He collects snakes and goes to commencement exercises. These are just a few of the crazy members of the Sycamore family. Tony and Alice conduct an experiment. They decide that they will invite Tony's parents to Alice's parents' house for dinner. Tony surprises Alice by coming over a day early. Alice is very embarrassed. Penny, however, is so persistent on having them stay that Alice has no choice but to go along with it. Eventually, Penny makes the Kirbies so mad that they leave. Alice is furious, but this proves to Alice that a marriage between she and Tony wouldn't work. The next day Alice prepares to go off to the mountain and let off some steam. Tony tries to talk her out of leaving, while Mr. Kirby tries to talk Tony out of getting Alice to stay. Grandpa saves the day by telling Mr. Kirby that he should let Tony make his own decisions and enjoy life a little bit more. Mr. Kirby changes his mind and Tony talks Alice into staying. The fall play performances were held on November 22 and 23. Plans changed a little for the cast when Mr. Tom Ross oversaw the final production of the play. The cast pulled together, and the end result was a well done comedy at Alliance High School. So Miss Alice is going to leave us for sure? inquires Donald to Rheba as she sets the table for dinner. Donald and Rheba are the family's household help. Whaddya mean, that light broke? I want it fixed nowl exclaims assistant Stage Manager Kent Meyer during a set construction. This just shgws another’interesting side to a play production-- being .the boss. After the performance is the best time to take a crazy picture such as this one. Kay Wilson and Stacie Woodside happily say cheese for the camera. 24 Fall Play

MS 1 MIS, The officers leading the Music Parents are Delma Turgeon, president; Kathy Graff, secretary; Sondra Peterson, treasurer; and Vice president Rachel Vaughn (not pictured). Serving a soup supper in the multi-purpose room can be an excellent fund raiser. The soup supper held by the band raised over $2000. The AHS Music Parents provided much needed support to students involved in band and choir classes. The music classes had a busy year, so there were many responsibilities resting on the music parents' shoulders. Mr. Rischling is busily taking notes at a Music Parents meeting to discuss the band's trip to Kansas City. The trip will cost each student $125. Some of this will come from fund raisers. To help raise money for the band's trip to Kansas City, Missouri, in April, the Music Parents organized and served a soup supper in the multi-purpose room. The supper was a successful event due to the basketball games against Chadron being played in the Alliance High gymnasium. The soup supper raised $2000 to help cover the costs of transportation and rooms for the band while in Kansas City. The Music Parents met the second Tuesday of every month to decide things such as fund raisers, choir and band events, and budgets for music trips. Leaders of the Music Parents were Delma Turgeon, president; Rachel Vaughn, vicepresident; Kathy Graff, secretary; and Sondra Peterson, treasurer. These four led Music Parents successfully through a very hectic year. 26 Music Parents
