Students use this info in every class at EASTON. SOCIAL STUDIES From Men and Nations to Free Enterprise the idea behind studying Social Studies is to acquaint the students of today with the lives and cultures of the past, and promises of potential success in the future. Families governments, religions, business practices and philosophies are discussed. Our students are helped with these studies by the members of the Social Studies de- partment: H. Taylor, P. Edwards, J. Larkin, Ms. S. Crier, A. Athas, Ms. M. Rosevalley, and C. Montalbano. Mrs. Rosevalley teaches Free Enterprise to sen- iors. Though a mandatory course, most students seem to enjoy the course.

SCIENCE The science department is moving out into new and exciting fields. With the renewed interest in the space program and the ever increasing need for comput- ers and scientific data, the field of science is opening more door- ways to more people. Our Eagle students won’t be left behind ei- ther. Ms. Arizona Moore, Ms. Jean Demas, Lawrence Blan- chard, Sam Mondello will make sure of that. From general Sci- ence to Physics, they offer our students the newest in scientific ideas. Students in Ms. Demas’ class find the discus- sion on weather too hot to handle in September. Ms. Moore works hard with her students to prove those scientific problems can be solved. Here she checks a problem ... ... and here she questions the answer to that problem ... ... Somehow we get the idea she doesn't quite believe that the answer was found so simply! 24
