Doors Open to the Future New door after new door was unlocked this year. Each door opened to find a new room full of enthusiasm, anticipation, activities, and individuals. Many old faces and some new faces filled the halls at Alliance High. New classrooms, teachers and students became the keys to new doors. Everyone adjusted to being all together in one building. As the year continued, some entrances to the present were opened farther, letting new thoughts and experiences enter. Other past openings were closed, locked away like a closet full of memories. More new doors led to the future with the keys being found inside one's self. The front doors closed at the end of the year, locked once again. Although they were locked, throughout the year if one looked hard enough, one could have found many keys to unlock new doors. Varsity cheerleader Keri Taylor is busy designing a victory sign for an upcoming footba J game. Spirit signs are one of many methods used to promote Bulldog pride.

Extra! Extra! Read All About It! Nebraskans Elect Lady Governor Nebraska began a new era of history when it elected Kay Orr as its new governor on November 4, 1986. Mrs. Orr, 47, was the first woman to become governor of Nebraska and the first lady Republican to win the title of governor in the United States. Kay Orr's opponent was also a woman. Mrs. HeJen Boosalis, 67, former two-term mayor of Lincoln and a iong-time political figure in Washington, D.C., represented the Democrats in this race for the governorship. Mrs. Orr's victory was statewide. She was the popular choice everywhere from Scotts Bluff County east to the Missouri River, and she carried seventy-seven of the ninty-three counties in the state. She had this to say about the election results in an Associated Press interview, I knew we had the people and the organization, and I am very gratified that the Nebraskans responded so positively to our message.” Kay Orr took a strong stand against abortion and LB662, a bill to consolidate school districts and to increase the state sales tax. Orr and her running mate, the new lieutenant governor, William Nichol, started off an historical term in Nebraska's government, with the respect of Nebraska's citizens. Mikfi Borquin and Donny Taylor are proud to be seen with Kay Orr during her campaign for governor. Orr attended the Box Butte Coun ty Fair and successfully swayed volers her way. Dick Slephens welcomes Wendy Fierslein to Alliance High School as a part of National Educalion Week.
