The format of the 1986 Stespean is similiar to that of the previous year. We have attempted to present coverage of events according to the yearly calendar. Therefore, the book is divided into sections for Fall, Winter and Spring. Above: Valerie Shields gets ready to aim and fire! The Egg Water Balloon Tossing Contest, one of the opening events before classes began this fall, proved to be a splashing success. At right: Eric Life gets serious about not getting wet.

To get an A in this class, you almost have to be able to rewrite the King James Version of the Bible! These ominous words greeted one student when he walked into his first English class with Dr. Lester G. Woody. Although Dr. Woody ' s ( Doc to his friends) bark may seem like fair warning to his bite, those close to him know that underneath his gruff exterior is an affectionate and witty man. Not many professors receive an anonymous Christmas poem and stocking labeled only from elves ! For each day of the twelve days of Christmas some little elf snuck into the C wing of Stevenson Hall and placed a present in Dr. Wood ' s stocking. Dr. Woody is still trying to figure that one out! Again, on Valentine ' s Day someone snuck in C wing and left poetry for Dr. Woody to identify. It ' s no surprise that Dr. Woody is the beneficiary of such pranks. He has taught English at Union College for over twelve years and made many friends. Dr. Woody came to Union College in 1974 as Assistant Professor of English, promoted to Associate Professor of English in 1976 and in 1980 tenure was granted. In 1982, he was promoted to the rank of full Professor of English. For ten years Dr. Woody was the advisor for Gamma Beta Phi, a national honor society, and in 1984 was awarded a plaque for outstanding services to Gamma Beta Phi. Among other honors, he was named truly a man for all seasons as the Homecoming Honoree in 1985. He also received the Student Senate Distinguished Professor Award for the 1975-76 academic year as well as for 1982-83. Before coming to Union College, Dr. Woody taught at St. Christopher ' s School in Richmond, Virginia and at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He worked many years as the Director of Advertising Copy at Miller Rhoads Department Store in Richmond. He served as Instructor of noncredit courses in Modern Poetry and Music Appreciation at the University of Virginia Extension in Richmond and as Instructor of Graduate Seminar of Retail Advertising at Virginia Commonwealth University. Dr. Woody came to Union College with a diverse background and has shared his knowledge with students and faculty over the last twelve years as a professor at Union. Part of sharing his knowledge has included being the advisor to the Union College annual, the Stespean yearbook. Dr. Woody has been the advisor for four years. During the 1986-87 academic year. Dr. Woody will be teaching part-time before retiring. His bark will certainly be missed at Union. In recognition of Dr. Woody ' s devotion to Union College and students, the Stespean staff respectfully dedicates this 1986 edition to him.
