RECOGNITION Lawmakers, national groups, honor junior, senior students Recognition of groups outside the academic com- munity is earned by numerous AHS students each year. Typical of such awards are those pictured here, and elsewhere in this section. Missing pic- torially is Kim Hughes, congressional page in Washington, D.C. Ex-member of Class of 70, he will be graduated from the Pages School in June. Altus students and teachers consistently are listed in major biographical indexes. Former grad- uates often dominate similar recognition lists on college campuses. HARRISON MOCK, SENIOR, asks Sen. Herchal Crow's opinion on leading legislation. Scott Brantley equally interested listens for answers. They were Sen. Crow's first appointees of the year as legislative pages. BETTY CROCKER Home- makers-of-the-Year award was presented Kathyn Ginn, senior FHA member, by Mrs. Ora Littlejohn, home-ec teacher at request of General Mills.

Each year science leaders of two high schools in each state are chosen by Bell Tele- phone for a trip to Bell Lab- oratories at Murray Hill, New Jersey, and three days in New York City. Altus High's outstanding science teacher, Mrs. R. J. Lockhart, and Pam Avery, Chemistry II senior, were chosen by Southwest- ern Bell Telephone as its 1970 representatives. TUNABLE LIGHT SOURCE, (optical parametric oscillator) is explained at the Bell Lab by Research Scientist Dr. R. G. Smith as Pam Avery and Mrs. R. J. Lockhart watch. Oklahoma Arts and Humanities grant to AHS Varsity Choir made it possible for this group, win- ner of numerous other awards, to secure a stringed ensemble from Midwestern University as accom- panists for the Schubert Mass in G at Christmas. REHEARSAL AFTERNOON preceded the formal dress evening recital. Mr. Kenneth Cox, vocal music director, leads the combined groups, Collette Hill, far left, is soloist.
