The "computer" in the photo is appears not to be a computer, but a
terminal.
It appears to be a Southwest Technical Products CT-64 terminal.

This device was probably connected either to some form of microcomputer
(e.g., Altair, IMSAI, etc.), or potentially some home-built machine, or
was connected via modem to a remote timesharing service, as was common
in schools during the timeframe.
