First year proves successful Being principal is not an easy job and is one that involves long hours, patience, and requires care- ful attention. There has never been a principal so eager and willing to help each individual as Mr. Howard King has done. He has put out a tremendous amount of effort to keep order throughout the school and to help build pride and Bulldog spirit. Mr. King was always concerned with everyone’s academic achievements and future plans. There was never an announcement made or a speech given at an assembly that Mr. King didn’t fail to thank the entire student body for all the time cooperation, and contributions given to Altut High. In reality, we, the student body, should be thankful to Mr. King for his superior guidance, which made the scholastic year, 1977-78, a re warding and enjoyable one for each student.

Teachers get back to basics of learning Cooperation, duty, devotion, and dedication, describe the efforts of the Altus High School faculty as they instruct studies in various specialized fields. Over 1,200 students are individually instructed in the Arts, History, Vocational, English, Math, Science, and Athletic classes. Sixty-three teachers make up the high school faculty. Many teachers are involved directly with sport activities, and give direc- tion and guidance to different clubs throughout the school. During the school day, teachers not only taught students during class hours, but also taught students individually during their own time. Retiring after 29 years of service was Mrs. Virgie Rooker, Spanish teach- er. Altus High School gained much, academically and personally from her services at the high school. Without the instruction and guidance of the faculty, Altus High School would not continually turn out such highly academic and fine caliber students.
