— Mrs. Tyler I want to help somebody. Mrs. Sarah Paulling, math teacher: here at JKA, the students have to work for what they get. I believe this builds character and discipline. Because of the smallness, everyone here is extremely close. I want my students to love math; I'm trying to prepare them for col- lege . Math teacher, Miss Deborah Lynn: I think the good qualities of the school are the small classes and the fact that the administration is so close to the classroom. In my classes this year, I think the students have gotten a good background in a certain course, and I have tried to get them to the point where they don't hate math. In the future, I want to be doing more than classroom activities; I would like to become involved with Jk IB a Mrs. Paulling Typing teacher, Mrs. Sylvia Little: I've been at JKA for a long time. I helped start the school, and I love teaching. The school is a family-type thing. The students have a lot of enthusiasm and they love the school. Everybody cares for each other. As for my course, I hope my students now have a knowledge of the typewriter and will be able to use it for their own personal use. 22

English teacher, Miss Sarah Jo Mclnnis: This year, 1 would like to see literature and drama come alive on all levels, 9-12. Here at J.K.A., 1 think everybody loves each other, and we've got the greatest students in the world. In the future, 1 would like to keep growing, and letting my students teach me more than I could ever teach them.11 History teacher, Mrs. Karen Miller: 1 '1 would like to establish a relationship between my students, so I can enjoy them, and they can enjoy my classroom. 1 hope the students will learn to gather information so that I can be a helpful guide and not a dispenser of facts.'' 21

Mrs. Catherine Tyler, sci- ence teacher: The friendliness and eagerness of the students to learn has impressed me. This year, in my classes, I hope I have taught everyone that the scientific way of thinking is something that can be applied to everyday life. In the future, if I'm not teaching, I would like to work with the environment in one way or another. Mrs. Candi Kekelis, physical education teacher: I feel the ma- jority of the students here demon- strate a loyalty for the school which is hard to find these days. They have a lot of enthusiasm and it makes my job easier when they enjoy participating in activities. I hope I can improve the physical education program here at JKA. Science teacher, Mrs. Joyce Matthews: The students are re- sponsible, motivated, and the parents seem concerned about the school. All age groups of students are together and it's so nice to see the little ones having some- thing to do with the older students. I don't want my students to think that science is something just out of the book. I want them to feel that it touches their every- day lives. And Now A Word From Our Sponsors 23
