Three Former Teachers and Six New
Ones Join Faculty, Making Total of 26
Nine new teachers have been ad
ded to the faculty this year—four
more than last year. This increase
is because of the large number of
twelfth graders and returning vet
erans.
Mrs. George 0. Stovall, Mrs. D.
H. Peiffer, and M. J. DeLotto, for
mer teachers of A. H. S., have re
sumed their teaching posts here.
New teachers are D. H. Peiffer and
Misses Alice Blanchard, Betty Max
well, Emily Teague, Lillian Misen-
heinier, and Dorothy Spears.
Due to the large number of stu
dents taking commercial subjects,
Mrs. Stovall is teaching typing to
first year typists. She spent last
winter with her husband in Fort
Crook, Nebraska.
Mrs. Peiffer, who spent last year
in Scotland, Pa., where her hus
band was in service, is back again.

and coaching dramatics. . . „
M J. DeLotto is back at A. H.
S. and “is just the handy mp. He
is teaching physical education and
coaching the football team. He
spent 40 months in service, as sen
ior grade lieutenant, in Boston,
New York, Norfolk, London, 1 ly-
mouth, and San Diego. , , ^
Miss Alice Blancnard, from

eighth grade. After graduation
from W. C. U. N. C., she taught at

pression of A. H. S., she replied
“A fine place.” To be her ideal
student, ^‘You must use your time
wisely” and “don’t be inconsiderate
°^Take a peep into room 86 and you
will find Miss Misenheimer, teach
er of ninth and tenth grade Eng
lish. She taught at Granite Quar
ry, Rockwell, and Oakboro, after
her graduation from Lenoir Rhyne
College. She thinks A. H. S. is
“one of the best high schools in the
state.” She dislikes “laziness, in
difference, anl lack of interest in a
student,” while a person who is
“interested, attentive, con.scien-
tious and does his be.st on all his
assignments” rates high with her.
Miss Spears says A. H. S. “is
great!” If you are in her sociolo
gy or eleventh grade English class,
you had better try, because that’s
the type of student .she likes. She
graduated from W. C. U. N. C. and
attended Carolina. Her home town
is Fayetteville, N. C.
“It’s big! My high school had a
hundred pupils,” is Miss Maxwell’s
answer when asked her impression
of A. H. S. She is from Davidson
N. C., and attended W. C. U. N. C.
