Small world: I learned FORTRAN when I was in high school, using TCU's IBM1620.
We used a keypunch and punched cards, though, no terminals or paper tape were
available.
We lived a couple of blocks from the old city golf course which became part of
TCU. TCU was run by my Dad's denomination, Disciples of Christ. I guess he
thought he could save money by sending us there and having us live at home.
(None of us did.)

I thought the paper tape TTYs were called ASR (Automatic Send Receive?)
instead of KSR (Keyboard Send Receive). I remember using one back in high
school at a special program at TCU in Ft. Worth. I was impressed. Not with
the KSR, but with the professor who apologized for being late - he was
trading in his 2 year old Rolls Royce for a new one.
