ENGLISH Students in Ms. Williams English class study Lit- erature and grammar, while Juniors in English III spend a lot of time in composition as well. READIN’ RITIN’! WHO NEEDS IT? You do every day of your life. You can’t drive a car, make deci- sions at the grocery store, read a newspaper unless you can read. And we all enjoy getting letters, but unless you can write, you'll never be able to answer a letter. Easton stu- dents know this of course. We must pass special tests to check our level of reading and writing skills and though we often grumble when it is time for these, we all know their value. Easton students are helped in their reading and writing endeavors by these teachers; Mrs. Kathy Reid- linger, Linda Irwin, Glenn Greiner, Robin McCartt, Cheryl Huckaby, Mrs. Gayn- elle Williams, Ms. Linda El- lis, Ms. Mona Watkins, Ste- ven Costa, Ms. Judy Demarest, Ms. Bonnie Davis, David Gingrich, Ms. B.J. Ruth and Ms. Pattie Harris. Even comic books are used effectively in Eagle English classes. Junior Richard Ro- driguez skims Superman for ideas for his Journal. 16

ENGLISH as a SECOND LANGUAGE UNITED WE STAND. The '82 EAGLE theme—“Put it to- gether and what have you got?”—is probably the best ex- planation of Easton anyone can give. We are a group of very dif- ferent people, of different cul- tures, religions and nationalities. The ESL class is here to help those students who come to us from different lands. English is taught on three levels from be- ginning to advance. Since the program was instituted three years ago, many of our students have improved their English writing and speaking skills. This difficult job is accomplished by Mrs. Julia Styer and her two as- sistants, Mrs. Acosta and Mrs. Cimadevilla, with the additional help of Ms. Vinh Nguyen who speaks Vietnamese. Lourdes Gonzalez and Norma David-Jaime copy ESL assignments. Hung Nguyen finds English, in his ESL class, a strange language! But all of the ESL students work hard. Learning a new language is always difficult but our ESL students find it rewarding. 17
