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.
