Three Teachers
Enlarge Faculty
Three new faculty members.
Mrs. Patricia Wiles, Mrs. Jewell

been welcomed into ASHS this
year.
Mrs. Patricia Wiles, a grad
uate of High Point College, for
merly taught seventh grade at
AJHS and will teach English
here at this school. When inter
viewed, she stated, “English has
always been a favorite subject of
mine, and I have found that it is
fun at ASHS teaching material I
enjoy to pupils I like.”
Certainly Mrs. Jewell Lee is
no stranger to the faculty mem
bers or students of ASHS. Prior
to her graduation from Pfeiffer
College last year, Mrs. Lee was
a practice teacher here. This
year, she will be busy teaching
typing and bookkeeping. In ad
dition to this, she will be faculty
advisor to the annual staff.
Mrs. Lee thinks “It is an honor
to teach in a nice school such as
this where everyone is willing to
help.”
Mrs. Carter, a former teacher
of ASHS, stated: “I certainly
missed working with students
last year." This year Mrs. Car
ter is teaching Typing I, Short
hand. Office Practice, and Busi
ness Math. Besides all of this,
in her homeroom two days a
week she teaches personal typ
ing.
Mrs. Lee and Mrs. Carter are
serving as faculty co-sponsors of
the FBLA.

ganda into the minds of the
