[edit] Allen High Alma Mater

I am an 2004 graduate and wanted the words to Allen High (TEXAS) Alma Mater. I have the song but no lyrics. I remeber that at the school there were posters in some rooms with the words and I know we ended it with "...Allen High." help, thanks.

So give a cheer for the Blue and the White, waving forever. Forever proud of our school today, May she live ever. We'll sing a song of our school today, Cheer as we go our way. On to success to stay. Dear Old Allen High

[edit] Lawson Gage

This is a very interesting topic, but is there any lasting worth from this stunt? Would it be more appropriate to stick this in a sex-related article, and not in a high school topic.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 208.190.27.184 (talk • contribs) .

This content has been deleted for lack of notability. — Scm83x hook 'em 19:41, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

The Allen High School page is very raw, and the only current event worth talking about is this incident. Since we don’t have a “sex-related article” section, it should go in the main article. The situation is truly the cause of much debate at school, and many people are only finding out about it through this Wikipedia page. I ask that the Lawson Gage article be reinstated, at least until more noteworthy content is compiled.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by TheBoy765 (talk • contribs) .

This is not an acceptable event to add to the article. It's completely unverifiable and also completeley non-notable. The section will not be replaced. — Scm83x hook 'em 01:09, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately, the youtube video has been deleted and removed from the site after receiving a 4.5/5 rating. --208.190.29.201 16:24, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

It makes you wonder if perhaps the Allen High School administration forced the student to remove that video. This is of course just speculation. Life is good 21:11, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Controversy

What happened to the controversy section which discussed the Allen problem with methamphetamines? Is this too much truth to handle? We are trying to BUILD the page, not deconstruct it. We wish to add both positive and negative information, but we have to start somewhere. Please refrain from deleting entire sections without discussion.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by TheBoy765 (talk • contribs) .

Please refrain from adding unsourced unverifiable information to pages, regardless of its positive or negative nature. Also, always assume good faith. — Scm83x hook 'em 01:07, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Band

Anybody know a source that can confirm if Allen High School has the world's largest high school band/escadrille?

[edit] Football

Okay, I understand getting rid of the Lawson Gage article, but our football team? If it doesn't belong here then were does it belong? If its no good becuase the table is bad that's understandable, I'm terrible at making tables on Wiki. Also, I plan on expanding the athletic section soon, but the schedule is all I got to at once. I assume good faith and all, but this page will never grow if major articles keep getting deleted.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by TheBoy765 (talk • contribs) .

The section was deleted because it was unencyclopedic. Please consider what about this high school is important to a global audience before writing another section. Also, please start signing your comments using ~~~~ at the end. — Scm83x hook 'em 03:03, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Man you're knowlegable. Sorry about the signing thing, I forgot. 24.1.102.232 03:47, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Academics

Xmazo, I wrote the academics section, as well as the extra-curricular section. I agree that the controversy should be included in the article, but apparently Wikipedia is not the place for it. And I am certainly not a member of the Allen High School staff. Why on earth did you delete what little substance we had left? --Life is good 23:34, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alma Mater

So give a cheer for the Blue and the White, waving forever. Forever proud of our school today, May she live ever. We'll sing a song of our school today, Cheer as we go our way. On to success to stay. Dear Old Allen High.

[edit] Pictures

I have taken a picture of the Allen high school exterior entrance and was wondering where it should be placed. Is is violating any privacy and copyright laws since I took it myself? Life is good 19:58, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

The image should replace the image of the eagle logo. The eagle logo should be moved down in the infobox to "mascot image". — Scm83x hook 'em 20:05, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
