Mrs. Arthur Edwards Vocal Music CSC, AJC Faculty members Cortis Martin, Richard Davis, Earl Newberry, and Anton Edmonson agree that all work makes life dull indeed, and prove their philosophy by pausing for mid-morning coffee, served by Stephanie Stevens and Patsy Miller. This group of men are more than just custodians. They take a personal interest in student welfare and comfort and work with faculty members on many projects. They are Pete Tidwell, Charlie Derr, E. V. Cupp, James Turner, C. M. Holleman, and L. L. Burgan. Mrs. Weldon Ferris Journalism, Public Relations OCW, OU A large campus and splendid physical facilities merely provide the basic ingredients for educational opportunities. The nucleus must be a well-prepared and dedicated faculty and a student body eager to learn. Altus High School’s 33 faculty members have spent more than 175 years in institutions of higher learning. As a result of their up-to-date instruction, AHS graduates matriculate in the world’s greatest colleges. Mrs. Paul Flippin English SWSC, OU Leads Student Learning Mrs. Alfred Goucher J. C.
