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

The AHS Speech Team had a very busy and exciting time this year. The team went to competitions in Leyton, Bridgeport, Gering, and Scottsbluff, just to name a few. By the end of the year, much improvement in the members' public speaking ability could be seen, when compared to the start of the year. Mr. Tom Ross's expert advice made the improvement possible. The speech team was awarded a third place trophy in Scottsbluff for the Sweepstakes category. The Sweep-stakes category is based on team standings and points earned from members placing in the finals. I joined the speech team to overcome my fear of public speaking, said Kathy Green, who placed third in the finals at Scottsbluff. I feel that even if I never place again, I will have accomplished a goal I never could have without speech team. Speech Team 27
