Remember this? Not too long ago, this was the northside view of AHS while land surveying for the new building was being done. Some of the builders are photographed while laying down the foundation on the northwest side of the building. Thousands of bricks were used to form the new addition which was added on to the high school and also to the elementary schools. The outside back lawn of the high school seems to have a different view now. and the teachers and students are very excited about it, The addition means no more being late for class or walking in the cold snowy days of western winter. Future Halls of Success. Construction was well underway for the halls which would soon be filled with students. Finished rooms are a good sign of the final completion of the addition. This is the science room which will be used by the biology and earth science classes throughout the day. These rooms help in making it easier to perform experiments and dissection. It will also be a lot easier to clean up from class to class. Opening 9

Additions Build Future Success It was growing like a monster! What was it? No one knew for sure, but they knew it was not going to stop. It was beginning to take over. For a long time, the administration of AHS had been trying to convince other people of Alliance that our school was growing, and that it was time for an addition. Some students believed that the school was not big enough. So their excuse for skipping classes was, There was no room for me; I had to leave.” Finally in 1985, full permission, through town voters and school board members, was given to start the building of the school additions. The most exciting addition for the seniors was the new COOP class. It allowed seniors to work at jobs in the afternoon instead of having a full schedule. The neatest thing about it was that they received school credits for it. Has the monster attacked? If it hasn't, it probably will...But what was the monster? Alliance High School and its student body, of course! fio Ihe right) Traci )ohns is practicing at pom pon practice for the teams next performance. She seems shorter than she reafiy is here, but fortunately it is just a bending move. The addition of the pom squad makes new room for those girls who have talent in dancing and pom pons, but would rather not be a cheerleader. Freshmen cheerleaders Heather West and Carrie Nason are practicing just one of their many moves to improve their cheering interest and pyramid building qualities. They have found even at the Frosh level that they are expected to attend many games with only four freshmen cheerleaders. They attend football, volleyball, and basketball games. In the meantime, the students and teachers found new ways to add on” and get more students involved in activities. One way was the addition of four boy cheerleaders and four frosh cheerleaders. The boys included Chris Contonis, Dan Carnine, fas on Minnick, and Chris Stoddard. The frosh girls included Charity Chandler, Chris Fenicle, Carri Nason, and Heather West. They were a great asset to the cheerleading squad because they helped arouse the crowd and make everyone stand up and take note that they were there. The boys also helped the girls in being able to yell louder and to hold and make pyramids. A second addition was the pom pon squad under the direction of Mrs. Diane Marx and Miss Leha Uehling. They added a new sparkle and pom excitement to the entire school. Ranae Reynolds, fason Minnick, Kelly Stark, Dan Carnine, Stacey Razo, Chris Contonis, Natalie Green, Tonja Maben, Tori Hoxworth, and Chris Stoddard concentrate on building a pyramid for greater enjoyment of their performances. 8 Opening

It's Hard to Be a Trendsetter Before, it was Michael and then it was Janet, Miss Jackson, if you’re nasty.” It used to be parachute pants and Nike tennis-shoes, but in 1987 at AHS, the trendsetters chose shaker sweaters, nerd shoes, Levi and Rocky Mountain Jeans. Then, of course, sweatshirts, ”Guess” clothing, swatch watches and boot shoes were added. Perhaps the neatest and easiest way for a girl to do her hair was the famous banana comb. And does anyone remember their mother talking about wearing mini skirts? Well, somebody thought it was an inconspicuous way to show off girls' legs. So even at AHS, history repeated itself. What other ways could one have thought of to make new fads or even help history repeat itself? Who knows. But to AHS, they'll always know that they also went down in history as some of the greatest trendsetters of the times. Mark Behm and Mike Weston seem to be looking for something. Maybe they are looking for someone el so who is crazy enough to do a weird thing like shaving one's class year into his hair and then coloring it blue. This is definitely an example of class and school spirit. Anonymous arms show the watch Swatch watches-they come in colors. Some of these crazy scents of perfumes and fruit flavors. To kn sure what time it is, these anonymous arms two. three, and even four Swatch watches at Danielle Reeves seems to be working hard in Mrs. Jones’ class while the camera catches a glimpse of her wearing a fashionable jean jacket. Phil Guthrie and Missy Reynolds seem quite interested in studying for the upcoming exam. Mrs. Dimmitt’s shorthand class take a few minutes out of class to show off the shoe variety that students of AHS choose to wear.
