Lunchtime offers sophomores Kathy Rhodes and Edwina Shaffer a chance to get in a few extra minutes of study. Friday night may not have always brought a win, but the game brought much excitement. As the game nears its final seconds, Bettilou Bryce an- ticipates the outcome. As the football team leaves for its bout against Pampa, Ms. Bulldog raises a cheer to send them off fighting. Kim DeWeese, as mascot, attended every game along with the cheerleaders. Opening

4 Pride Solid Thru and Thru i i p eing a senior at Altus High School is D an awesome experience. I wouldn’t want to be a senior anywhere else.” said Sherry Murphy. Pride for Sherry and other students was something they took for granted. Saying I'm from Altus” was something they did readily and felt com- passion for those who hailed from less lofty portals. The pride showed in the way that students reacted to hearing that That Altus Band had gotten another superior ranking at a contest, or that a student had been elected to a state office in an organization, or that Greg Russell was a National Merit semi-finalist. It was expected. They should excel — they were from Altus. Even when the football team lost its first six games, the pride did not falter. Cheers were no less supportive and no fewer students showed up for games. Pride was solid thru and thru. Opening

6 Taking It In With the unspent heat of mid-August still beaming down, students pulled themselves away from summer activities or inactivities and trudged back to school. Moans and groans may have gone before, but it was an eager group of students that appeared for registration. Who would have wanted to miss out on all the excitement of rushing from class to class, or try- ing to do algebra homework in Spanish class, or of sneaking peeks at the seniors’ hall decorations during Spirit Week? Who could have stayed away when the Bulldogs beat Putnam City North 28-19? No one would have wanted to miss Beverly Garrison being crowned Homecoming Queen or seeing Mrs. Ruth Ferris put in jail by an unrelenting Mr. Jack Diltz at the Halloween carnival. It was a year filled solid thru and thru with wonderful memories. Opening
