However, one of South Rowan's teachers has chosen teaching as his avoca- tion, or hobby. Mr. Lance Middleton is not only a social studies teacher, he is also a very successful businessman. Mr. Middleton owns an oil company as well as a trophy and jewelry shop. One may wonder if Mr. Middleton can manage to devote an appropriate amount oftime to each of hisjobs, but this seems to cause no problem for him. Mr. Middleton does not allow his business to interfere with his teaching in any way. He admits that sociology and world history are not his specialty areas, and that he enjoys teaching economics the most. Perhaps this is due to the fact that his business know-how gives him an insight into this area that other teachers may not have. No matter why he teaches here, we are glad we have Mr. Middleton on South's faculty. By Carol Blume Now what if Matilda . . . : Mr. Middleton illustrates his point. 28 I Focus On Faculty Mr. John A.
