MODERN FACILITIES for language instruction at Altus High make rapid advancement possible in French, Spanish and Latin. Two years of each lan- guage are offered. In 1962 a completely new language wing was added, containing five classrooms and a language lab- oratory of 48 individual booths, each with earphones, micro- phone, tape recorder and two way communication. French club officers Nanette Bilyeu, president; John Bowen, vice president and Mary Hill, secre- tary, listen to a new tape. They take an active part in all activi- ties of the club. All language teachers at Altus have had at least one National Science Foundation course in linguistics, and are able to utilize the labo- ratory facilities to the fullest LABORATORIES Facilities Provide Practical Opportunities Home Economics spacious, and beautiful labora- tories occupy space that once was an .auditorium wing.
