the Most Necessary Slice of Life Does Alliance High have a new dress code? Is this a new fashion trend? No--Stacie Woodside is dressed as Olga Katrina. She played this part in the fall play 'You Can't Take It With You. Help I'm falling! exclaims Mike Bourquin as he loses his balance Clowning around in the prop room was a common sight after a tough fall play rehearsal. Many students have discovered that study hall is a tempting place for daydreaming. Dawn Sutton decides to give in to the temptation and begins dreaming. Go Big Blue!! The band plays the school fight song in hopes of firing up the people at a pep rally before a game. O pening 3

tudents at Alliance High are School life is like a pizza ... a wild conglomeration of articles thrown together that form a surprisingly pleasant whole. Each year the basic ingredients remain the same, but the toppings vary slightly, making every year unique. Sports, jobs, friends, classes, dances, clubs, plays--each was a special part of life at AHS, and all managed to fit together to make up the whole. Some students were voracious eaters, taking large bites out of each and every slice of school life. Others were more moderate, picking and choosing parts that they were most talented at or interested in. Finally, a few students barely nibbled at the crust, appearing only to attend classes, and then disappearing to pursue their special outside interests. Whatever their special contributions or benefits, each student, each class, each activity met to make up the school year. For every participant, the 1985-86 school year at AHS was a unique and special SLICE OF LIFE. I really wish you wouldn't take my picture!!! says Kelley Yost as the click of the camera makes her realize it is too late. Her picture has already been taken. Passing time between classes provides a quick minute of conversation and relaxation before students are forced to hurry on to their next class. A pass? Hm. well, let's see, is what Jeff Gasseling appears to be thinking as he is caught strolling' the halls on his crutches. 2 O pening

Halley's Comet was seen in our sky. It is not known how long Halley's Comet has been making it's 76 year tour of the Solar System. Comet Halley made a spectacular appearance in 1910 when it was large and bright, easily visible from any city. Despite excitement about the return of Halley's Comet, this year's appearance was a poor one. The comet didn't get as close to the earth this time as it had previously. Although conditions weren't great for viewing, everyone interested was still able to see the comet with a little research and a pair of binoculars.lt was possible to watch Halley wander through the stars from night to night. Halley's Comet allowed people to forget their troubles and gaze into space to be reminded that we share a small place in space and time. This beautiful wanderer will return once again in 2062. 4 World Events
