With john Edgell teaching as he had done for the last six years, no two days were alike. It's fthe classj intimidating until you get used to it. - Kevin Gillian Along with endless Verbal Skills Warmups Wocabulary quizzesi, Edgell was famous for his composition assign- ments. From wondering Who am I to deciding Who or What Makes Us Learn , studentsrackedtheirbrainsto write a good paper. An 'A' paper included specifics and a good OP fopening para- graphl. When papers were returned, students usually found the length of theirs had grown. He writes more on our papers than we do -Shelley Cary Reading and grading each paper was not the easiest job Edgell had. Some students' handwriting was, as he put it, as bad as mine. He asked me if I speak English at home -David Leavitt From Greek fairy tales to Latin vocabulary, to local geography quizzes, classtime was different almost every day. Many students noticed that nothing seemed to fluster Edgell. Sometimes I feel like he is reading my mind -jill Williams Edgell often threw out a pun or two in his lectures. You can never catch his jokes because they're in reference to Greek Myths. You have to laugh because you feel stupid if you don't. -jenny Sherman Besides teaching English, Edgell had two other duties. One was advising seniors about colleges. Students often found their choice for R.T.P. john Edgell constantly emphasized the importance of Reading the problem before beginning an essay to his Senior English class higher education didn't match Edgell's choice for them. If you are going to tU.ofA.j Fayetteville, don't tell him. - Sara Kremer Seniors would often stop in his office to discuss their future with him. You get stuck in his office. You can't just drop in for a short visit. -Sara Burton His other task was holding the leash on a seventh grade study hall. It is my punishment for my sins on Earth. -john Edgell No matter what he was doing-walking his dog, teaching English, plugging a college or keepingthe lid on a class of rambunctious youths, Iohn Edgell was always himself. is in ...:,:1i 1'.:-my 2- ': W' f 1 440People
