Mr. Cline Provides Able Leadership The 1964-65 session of Altavista High School began the year with an enrollment of 510 pupils, the largest in the history of the school. There were 83 seniors. Prior to this session the largest senior class was in 1960-61 when 65 were graduated. The 47 pupils who enrolled from the New London School and the increased number in the 12th grade accounted for the increased enrollment. The faculty and pupils looked forward to a good session because of the attitude of -the student body and strong student leadership. The school had a good faculty and a large portion of the senior class qualified for college recommendation. The continuing problem and duty of the school is to train new groups of pupils each year to take the places vacated by the classes above and to try to do it better than previously. Duties of a principal include lining up programs for the teachers’ meeting. Here Mr. Cline listens to Mr. S. Thomas Cox explain his talk. Mr. Cline watches intently at a crucial point in the football game with William Campbell. From his desk, Mr. Cline provides us with many in- teresting statistics about Altavista High School and starts us on our tour. 10
