 MUSIC EDUCATION building, with year round air condition- ing is in constant use except during five days in August between summer beginners band and fall band and vocal practice. Gleaming white new sidewalks were laid at that time. LAZY AUGUST afternoon two days before enrollment began in the cafeteria gives little indication of the long lines of students awaiting computer card section assignments 48 hours later. COMPUTER SEVENTIES Best-of-the-old retained Best-of-the-new acquired Enrollment by computer, vocational courses, computer programming, college level science, mathematics, new communications, and respon- sible student leadership characterized the first year of the space oriented seventies at Altus High. With chemurgy on the farm, and C-5A's in the air, need for more and more education became graphically apparent to each student. WHEN MAIN building of the 58-acre Altus High School campus was built four decades ago, this was the city limits.

YEAR ROUND SCHOOL Summer session offers extra credit opportunities, transfer “catch up” aids This was the year new students arrived too late for the spring session, but in time for summer classes. They joined long time Altus students in getting extra classes to leave time for activity hours dur- ing the winter, or part-time work later. Most in- coming sophomore boys, too young for employ- ment, take driver education, science or history during their first senior high summer. PROJECT WICHITA FALLS, they called the final highway driving test for these summer driver ed students. Each morning for two weeks groups left at 7 a.m., DST, to make a round trip drive to Wichita Falls, Texas. Mr. Art Young, left, gives final instructions. EARLY FALL formal fashions are worn by Pat Orr and member, Carol Weaver. Each designed her outfit for the Future Homemakers sub-district September meeting. RIGHT BELOW: SUMMER BIOLOGY classes meet continuously all morning making it possible for complicated experiments to be completed in a single day. Mack McKeaver assembles equipment for one such project. 3
