As we board the Pacific Prin¬ cess for our ten year reunion, it is evident that every member of the Class of ’82 has changed and each has made a different lifestyle for himself. As we sit around the dinner ta¬ ble and chat, each person tells the rest of the class about his achieve¬ ments during the last decade. We find out that Tammy Adams is the proud owner of a combina¬ tion Veterinary Hospital and Res¬ taurant. Mary Beth Ashley and Rhonda Sheppard tell us of how they combined their talents and are now traveling make-up consul¬ tants. Marty Baucom used the prac¬ tice he got his Senior year in high school to open his own travel agency. He is also a singing evan¬ gelist on the side. Our tour guide, Donna Berry, has made use of her gift of gab and is busy making plans for our trip. Kim Biggs commands a tank division in Biloxi, Mississippi, and Scott Boyer became a botanist. He not only talks to plants — he reasons with them. On down the table, Scott Brown is humming his hit song called “Fifty Ways to Junk your Mazda.” Dewey Cecile kind of feels at home on the Princess because he is first mate on a banana boat to Brazil. Carrie Combs won her fame as a country and western singer. Due to her interest in money and automobiles, Tammy Combs is now a highly paid diesel me¬ chanic. Brian Cook never left home. He is currently a Professor of Law at Wake Forest University. Sherri Frye, however, ventured out and became an actress in martial arts films such as “Kung Fu.” The stylish Mark Fulp and Kim Roberts went into business to¬ gether as designers. Their latest line of jeans is called “Le Blah”! Kelly Gambill is seen stuffing tomatoes into her purse to take home to Detroit, Michigan, for her Class Prophecy venus fly trap farm. Sharon Gray and Kaye Hol¬ land share the responsibilities of running the Rah! Rah! Home for Aged Cheerleaders. Teresa Hart- ness owns a goat rodeo in Wyo¬ ming. Following in his father’s foot¬ steps, Danny Hawks now owns his own business, but instead of a flower shop, he runs a charm school. David Hawks is cur¬ rently a politician running for U.S. Senate. Jaymi Huff is married to a rich old man that is living much longer than she expected. Sabrina King, however, married the King of Eng¬ land and became Queen. Billy Ray Liles now owns a feed company called “Billy Ray’s Hay” I The world’s leading consultant in eyebrow styling is none other than Steve Loos. Ben Mabe’s commercial for tennis shoes became a hit and Ben is now a teen idol. The roller derby star from our class is, of course, Teresa Minton. Dale Mitchell currently drag races U-Haul trucks. Also a pro, is Scott Nations, a wrestler who is sometimes called “Strong Arm.” After graduating with a degree in political science, Jeff Orvin be¬ came dictator of a small, unknown South American country. Dawn Perry is confined to a wheelchair for no obvious reason. Maybe it is because of Jeff Rhyne, who is now employed by the CIA for his deadly accuracy in throwing newspapers. Michael Rock is a political leader. His followers are called pet rocks.” Jimmy Sams is the very proud owner of Curly’s Speedway and Barbeque. Rick Sapp shares a business with Steve Loos and cuts hair in the shape of the state of Alabama. Sitting next to Rick is Tim Schuyler, now owner of a combi¬ nation mortuary and health spa in California. Scott Sechler travels world¬ wide, selling Tupperware. Poor Ruth Ann Sidden fell into a Xerox machine and was dupli¬ cated many times. Jay Stephen¬ son relies on his comic ability for a living. He is currently unemployed and living in a one-room shack. Lisa Styers is happily married and has three children named Grumpy, Sleepy, and Daffy. She never could match anything. Dana Utt is now left winger for the Winston-Salem Thunderbirds. Animals always interested Barry Walker, who became a professional aardvark bounty hunter. His cousin Susan Walker is an elementary school teacher in Tunisia. Ronald White, always known for his “brawn,” is employed as Slim Whitman’s bodyguard. Nan Willard became matador in Tere¬ sa Hartness’ rodeo. Tim Wilson finally spoke up and told us that he is a reclusive hermit that only comes out to wax cars. As our dinner is finally served, we find out that it was prepared by none other than Ward Wishon, the famous SHORT order cook. Dressed in an expensive busi¬ ness suit, Sammy Wood reveals to us that he is a lawyer for the deaf. Waiting her turn at the end of the table is the calm, cool, and col¬ lected Laura Wooten, who be¬ came a neurologist at the Bowman Gray School of Medicine. As we push back our chairs from the table after we have filled our stomachs, we reminesce about the good ole days when life was young and always full of surprises. We talk about the Senior Rock-A- Thon, Play and our trip to Florida. It seems like only yesterday that we walked down the aisle together to receive our diplomas. Now, ten years later, after being scattered miles apart in every direction, we are reunited. We look forward to our week aboard the Pacific Princess and wonder what the next reunion has in store for us. Kim Biggs Jimmy Sams Barry Walker

Class History It ail started back in 1969. Woodland Christian School was taking on a new principal, Mr. Ed Stevens. Although this was a big addition, there were quite a few smaller ones — namely the new kindergarten students. Even though our class is as one now, we began with five separate classes. Among these we had Mary Beth Ashley, Scott Boyer, Dewey Cecile, Carrie Combs, Sherri Frye, Teresa Hartness, Da¬ vid Hawks, Jeff Orvin, Jimmy Sams, Rick Sapp, Tim Schuyler, Ruth Ann Sidden, Lisa Styers, Dana Utt, Barry Walker, Susan Walker, Ronald White, Nan Wil¬ lard, and Ward Wishon. We were very proud as we marched down the aisle to get our diplomas; but on to bigger and better things. As first-graders, we added Tammy Combs, Mark Fulp, Billy Ray Liles, and Rhonda Sheppard. With these gained, we lost Dewey, Carrie, and Lisa; but life goes on. In the second grade, we had only one new classmate — Shar¬ on Gray. It was now that we real¬ ized that there was more to school than telling time, three-letter words, and recess. When we returned in the fall as third-graders, we found that we again had only one new arrival — Sabrina King. This year, in a sense, we added a doctor to our staff. Mr. Stevens had received his Ph.D. in Religious Psychology and was now to be called Dr. Stevens. In the fourth grade, we gained Danny Hawks, Dawn Perry, and Jeff Rhyne. Lisa Styers also decid¬ ed to rejoin us. At the beginning of our fifth grade year, Teresa Minton, Scott Nations, and Laura Wooten joined us and Carrie Combs returned. Around the middle of the year, Steve Loos arrived and became one of us; better late than never. In the sixth grade, we picked up Kim Biggs and Brian Cook, but lost Danny Hawks. This was our year to be honored at the Fifth and Sixth Grade Banquet. As we left elementary school and joined Junior High, we gained Kaye Holland, and later in the year, Jaymi Huff. During our eighth grade year we had no one new, but Kim Biggs left around the middle of the year. Her absence was short, be¬ cause Kim was back as we began our Freshman year. We also added Ben Mabe and Scott Sechler but lost Sherri Frye. This year, we all got our Learner’s Permits and took to the highways. As Sophomores, Tammy Ad¬ ams and and Michael Rock joined us and Dana Utt returned at the beginning, but it wasn’t until April that Kelly Gambill and Kim Rob¬ erts arrived in our class. As we all got our license, the world would never be the same again. In the eleventh grade, Sherri Frye and Danny Hawks came back, and we added Donna Berry, Dale Mitchell, and Tim Wilson as Juniors. About halfway through the year, Scott Brown also joined us. We really became excited as the time came to order class rings and prepare to put on the Junior- Senior Banquet. As we prepared for our Senior year, our additions were Marty Baucom, Jay Stephenson, and Sammy Wood. Soon, Dewey Ce¬ cile also returned. Marty had to leave for a few weeks, but came back at the end of first semester. We were both happy and sad about the year. Happy to be on our own, but sad to part from friends. We planned for our Senior trip to Florida, which required lots of fund-raising, and rehearsed the Senior Play. We also ordered invi¬ tations and were measured for caps and gowns in preparation for graduation. The year flew by, but it had been a long time in coming. After all of this, we ended up with forty-nine Seniors. We leave saying, “We love you, Woodland, but we must be moving on.’’ Nan Willard 100 Class History
