Class of 1968 ~ 40 years ago from 2008

Your school in 1968 was new and "modern". Just look at the equipment in the science labs! Here Willie Edmisten teaches a student how to use a microscope.
Andy Reese demonstrates the use of equipment in his science room. Sliding chalk boards opened to the prep room for the science labs.
Sixteen mm movie projectors were the first AV advancement in classrooms since filmstrip projectors and every teacher had the pleasure of threading film with sprockets and feeders.
Watauga was the first in our region to have closed circuit television with remote connection to ASU. Classroom instruction could be shared, monitored, or directed from the High School or the University. The future was then and now such a relic of the past.
Can you imagine being able to simulcast and broadcast with the college in 1968?
Even our mass communication or PA (public address) system was the newest and best. Here Dr. Andy Miller contemplates the message he will share with the school.
