Superior equipment plus qualified instruction will make college chem- istry easy for Charles Jeffries, Laura Dobbs and ' Lorraine Allmon shown above as they completed an experi- ment. Many Altus high school graduates win science awards. All are juniors, will take phy- sics next year. These are the Gaynotes, one of many high school entertainment groups ready to perform at com- munity events. Left to right arc: Ann Inglis, Mary Windle, Nancy Ellis, and Celia Moore.

Advanced science and math courses make sense to lucky Altus teens who see their principles applied in such space age feats as the Atlas missile. Convair Astronautics model of the Atlas and its silo was executed by frosh scientists, Peggy Rammc and Becky Spencer. Uene Moore and Roland Whiddon admire the exhibit which won first place at the Science Fair Space age engineering at work is shown above in one of the 12 Atlas missile sites under construction surround- ing Altus. Architects, engineers, and scientists share their knowledge with Altus students as guest speakers. Altus Air Force base arranges many field trips. To Opportunities of the Future Members of Key club, highschool service organization, are learning community service also. Don Hubbard, Larry Cham- bers, Tommy Hickerson, and Terry Grimes help Santa Claus remember un- fortunates. 6 Pep Club members such as Barbara Wiley, below, spend many hours after school preparing displays in promotion of student spirit.
