As a colleague, Miss Eason was dedicated to a high standard of achievement, she always preformed each task with diligence and with utmost care. These were qualities that she instilled in her students. She refused to compromise excellence for mediocrity; yet, she was fair, compassionate, and understanding. Her effectiveness as a teacher is evident in the fact that many of her former students are now instructors of mathematics because of her inspiration and motivation. Miss Eason was a mathematics teacher for 36 years, the last 12 years at Wilson. Her dedication and devotion touched most of our lives and will be remembered by students and faculty alike at Woodrow Wilson.
