SHIRLIE PHILANESE BARBARA SNEED SOLOMON RALPH STEELY JULIA STYER HERBERT TAYLOR TURNER Foreign Language Business Ed. Math ESL Social Studies Special Ed. FOREIGN LANGUAGES PARLEZ VOUS FRANCAIS? ou HABLA ESPANOL? Tracey Kilcrease studies her French. INTERNATIONAL AC- CENTS? MAIS QUI! and SI, SI! This is the goal of Mrs. Barbara Sneed and her student teacher Melle Martine Sarret. Easton stu- dents have the opportunity to study both French and Spanish this year, and taste the food, and discover the culture of both France and Spain. With all the interna- tional students at Easton, this helps us even more in our study of the world. In the language classes, Easton Eagles are singing foreign songs, giving their versions of for- eign commercials and sampling ethnic dishes in between the vo- cabulary and grammar lessons! Magnifique and magnifico! Ms. Barbara Sneed instructs her classes in both French Spanish. 18

KATHLEEN RIEDUNGER English MARTHA ROSEVALLEY MS. B.J. RUTH Social Studies English—Art WILLIAM OXFORD FANNIE REDDIX Distributive Ed Business Ed Ms. Cimadevilla explains ENGLISH to ESL students Martha Rogge and George Patino as Jacques Favel does individual work. 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

PATRICIA WALKER Special Ed. DORIS WHITE Special Ed. WILLIAM WOODR1CH Special Ed. EVAN WALLE Physical Ed. AUTREY WASHINGTON Home Economics Before you create that original dress, pat terns must be made. HOME ECONOMICS Ms. Washington demonstrates the fine art of sewing. FOOD FOR THOUGHT—what to do if your best coat doesn’t ready go with the new dress? Which fork should you use at the that fancy din- ner you are invited to? And what •would be appropriate to wear? These and other questions are discussed in our Home Economics classes. Mrs. A. Washington and Mrs. G. Washington both teach this course which is more than how to boil an egg! (yet we are told that they do discuss this tricky subject too). Food preparation, cloth- ing. sewing and manners combine with child care to teach those future Homemakers and socialites the ins and outs of life in the future. Students in Ms. G. Washington's class copy recipes from the board. 19
