Most certainly Woodward is unique in its heritage. Having existed for eighty years. it provides a stability for its people that is difficult to find elsewhere. Throughout the Woodward community, heri- tage is especially evident in its campus. Buildings from many different time periods come together harmonious- ly to form a campus unlike any other. With the passing years, the heritage of Woodward grows, as each genera- tion adds its own important touches to the school com- munity. In addition. Woodward is also unique in its attitude, that special pride that is found in all the people who are a part of the Academy. The special relation- ships found among students, staff, and parents insure the smooth operation of the school. Hardworking, dedi- cated people are behind every aspect of Woodward life, making their often unrecognized contributions. Further- more, because they value the uniqueness of Woodward, people come to the Academy from many different states, as well as several foreign countries. Woodwards people have their own specicd look; a look which has nothing to do with wearing the Academy uniform. Final- ly, the atmosphere Woodward provides is unequalled. A twenty-four hour school. Woodward has activities occur- ring around the clock and through these many activities, students have the freedom to develop in the areas that interest them. These many unique aspects of Woodward Academy come together to make the school what it is. a fine educational institution-proud of its heritage, sure of its future. PROLOGUE 3 THE ENVIRONMENT One of the many unique aspects of Woodward is its cam- pus. Unlike other area schools, the campus is located on thirty- six acres in College Park, a part of the metro-Atlanta area. A variety of buildings dating from various stages of the Acade- my ' s eighty-one-year history enables the people of Woodward to say proudly that they are a part of an institution unparal- leled anywhere else. Probably one of the most outstanding aspects of Wood- ward ' s campus is Richardson Hall, the fine arts center. Locat- ed in this large building is a three-hundred and fifty seat performing arts auditorium which provides the perfect setting for the many plays, musicals, and concerts performed by Woodward students. Also located in this building is Wood- ward ' s own television studio where interested students study television journalism technique through WATV productions. In addition, facilities arc available for students to sculpt, paint, and work with pottery. Finally, the Fine Arts Center houses Woodward ' s dance and band studios. The heritage of GMA-Woodward shows in its campus, giv- ing it an unusual sense of timelessness. To those on campus, the best known example of Woodward ' s heritage is the front gate. Constructed in 1935, the front gate has been a symbol of Woodward ' s quality and stability for many years. The impres- sive monuments are familiar features which both testify to Woodward ' s heritage and add beauty to the campus. Woodward ' s campus also contains many impressive stu- dent-oriented facilities. The student lounge, Colquitt Hall, is one of these facilities and provides a place for the students of Woodward to relax, enjoy a snack, study in groups, watch television, or play games such as table tennis or pocket bil- liards. Another favorite spot on campus is the courtyard. Located in the center of Brewster Hall, the courtyard provides the students with an outside area in which to talk with friends or study. Through its many student-oriented facilities, Wood- ward creates an enjoyable place to work and grow. 4 CAMPUS CAMPUS 5 Heritage Having existed for eighty-one years, Woodward Academy has a special heritage, one that its peo- ple are proud of. Founded as Georgia Military Academy, Woodward has come a long way from its early days to the modern college preparatory school it is today. Woodward, because of its stable heritage, can expect an even brighter future. Woodward Academy owes John Charles Wood- ward deeply for many of its great qualities. Colo- nel Woodward, his wife, and one other teacher established the school in 1900 on a campus com- prised of only one building. With $1,500 to orga- nize an enrollment of thirty cadets, Woodward established Georgia Military Academy. His forty years of dedicated service, as the school ' s first president, transformed GMA from its humble be- ginnings into one of the South ' s finest military academies. When formal military training ended in 1966, the Academy was renamed in honor of Colonel Woodward. The Academy ' s development has been aided, as well, by other great men. Colo- nel William R. Brewster, Sr. succeeded Colonel Woodward, and provided commendable leader- ship for some twenty years. His son. Captain Wil- liam R. Brewster, Jr. followed in his father ' s foot- steps and became the institution ' s third president. It was Captain Brewster ' s leadership that allowed Woodward to change with the times. During his term, the male military school, GMA, became an outstanding co-educational college preparatory school. In 1978, Dr. Gary M. Jones became the fourth president and, with the Board of Gover- nors, has further aided the continuous growth of the Academy. Their guidance has helped Wood- ward Academy develop into an exceptional institu- tion. Woodward Academy has a long, successful heri- tage. The people of Woodward are proud of the military school of the past which laid the founda- tions for the Woodward Academy of today • 6 HERITAGE WAR EAGLE PRIDE A unique aspect of the Woodward personality is pride. There are numerous opportunities for students and faculty to get involved in school functions, and both groups actively participate. What is unique, though, is that students participate for the school as well as for themselves. Students gain valuable exper- ience while proudly bringing recognition to the Acad- emy. The War Eagles teams make tremendous time and physical commitments, and these have paid off great- ly. Their spectacular records have made the whole Woodward community proud of them. The service clubs at Woodward are something else to be proud of. The Key, Interact, and Junior Civitan clubs do admirable works for the community. The Hunger Task Force, a newer organization, has done outstanding work for the poor in the community. Those unselfish activities are also deserving of pride. Woodward ' s academic excellence is known far and wide. Students gain recognition on city, state, and national levels for themselves and the Academy. The artistic contributions of Woodward ' s Fine Arts departments cannot be ignored. The Drama Club has consistently received rave reviews, the Art Club has exhibited works at impressive places such as Harts- field Terminal. The Festival Chorale has sung with well-known celebrities such as Barry Manilow. We can definitely be proud of their acievement. Generally speaking, even after only one year at Woodward, most students and faculty members would unashamedly say that they share a more than normal partiality to the colors of red and white and swell with intense pride when they hear a song which begins with the words, Standing here in reverent prayer. The Woodward community realizes the Academy tradition of greatness and most feel fortunate to be a part of that living tradition. Woodward pride is a driving force behind the institution, and will continue to be an integral aspect of the Woodward personality in years to come. 8 PRlDE PRIDE 9 r Oince coming to the Academy in 1950, Mrs. Betty Hays has watched literally thousands of students begin their first timid days of school life, grow into energetic Upper Schoolers and finally mature into the successful adults she always knew they would become. In addition to her usual Low- er School secretarial duties such as typing and filing, Mrs. Hays skillfully bandages scraped knees and doctors hurt egos with a kind of common sense psychology that every child needs at some- time or another. Being the versatile person that she is, Mrs. Hays has taught kindergarten and typing, monitored the student lounge, and acted as secretary to six lower school principals. Having watched the institution ' s development over the past thirty years, Mrs. Hays maintains that each year, the Academy gets better and better. We feel the same holds true for Mrs. Betty Hays. iVlrs. TonI Wallace is one of those in the Woodward community that keeps phenomenally busy. If you walk past her desk in the Upper School counseling of- fice, she is always working on a project, getting grade reports together, or making counselor appointments. Besides her quality of staying busy, perhaps the most noticeable characteristic about Mrs. Wal- lace is the fact that she is always incredi- bly nice to everyone. Students, teachers, and parents are all greeted and treated in the same friendly and competent manner that has effectively become Toni Wallace ' s trademark. Having to visit the counseling office to discuss a deficiency or something of like nature is never a situation that one looks forward to, but knowing that Mrs. Wallace is the first person that you ' ll deal with makes the experience not quite so frightening. Smiles and kind words come easily to Toni Wallace. For that, we can all be grateful. C ill Largin, a 12th grade student has at- tended Woodward since 6th grade. Begin- ning in his first year here, he has worked on the upper and lower school television crews and in 1978, he began working with the Fine Arts Department in technical drama, on the play Don ' t Drink the Water. Since then, he has been involved in all of the school ' s dramatic productions, including being tech- nical director for two one-act plays, the school musical in 1979, and producer of the lower and middle school production of The Wizard of Oz. Bill feels that Woodward has helped develop his interest in electronics, and because of his experience here, he plans a career in telecommunications. Known for his persistent attitude. Bil l was elected Most Industrious Senior by the members of his class. Kr Lnown to almost everyone at Woodward, Mrs. Joan Jones fulfils her role at the Academy in a quiet and friendly manner. As the President ' s wife, she is often called on to assist with a multitude of Academy projects which range from helping with Parent ' s Day to acting as hostess at Alumni Homecoming activities. Evident from ones first meeting with Mrs. Jones is her genuine warmth and positive attitude. Although Woodward functions keep her busy, Mrs. Jones always finds time for one of her favorite hobbies-gardening. Students leaving campus in the afternoon can often see Mrs. Jones working in her yard or gathering vegetables from the garden next to the President ' s Home. Mrs. Jones is certainly one of Wood- ward ' s most likeable personalities; we are fortunate to have such a gracious lady in our midst. lO PERSONALITY PROFILES PERSONALITY PROFILES Tc o many students she is affec tionately known as Mom. And for nine years, Mrs. Margaret Finch has Indeed acted as surrogate parent, psychologist, teacher, sometime disciplinarian, but always friend to the hundreds of Wood- ward students who venture in to the Colquitt Student Center to study, pass some time away at the pool tables, or simply talk. About Wood- ward, Mrs. Finch says, I love this place and the kids, they ' re are my life: they keep me going. Mrs. Finch ' s devotion to the school and its students is eveident in her pro- Academy attude. As she criss- crosses the campus each day, stu- dents seeming compete for her at- tention; Mrs. Finch never disap- points them as she greets each one by name. If ever there could be a Mrs. Chips, she would most cer- tainly be personified in our Mrs. Finch. T he word involved ' ■ ' ,;-:-.. j is the best one to descrioii Miss Debbi English. Since coming to Woodward three years ago, she has taught both second and third grades in the Academy ' s Lower School. Miss English also eissists Mr McClung with Festival Chorale pro- ductions, helps Dean Krueger as the faculty coordinator of resident life activities, and Is the Academy ' s assistant swimming coach. Her magnetic personality literally draws people to her. Often, at the end of conversations. Miss English tells students that she Is glad that they had an opportunity to see her. In fact, we arc fortunate to see her and to work with someone with so much energy and such a positive approach toward students. ' ■ ■ % J V PERSONALITY PROHLES 11 I The people of W.A. share a unique sense of closeness, of belong- ing to a family composed of Wood- ward ' s administratiors, teachers, counselors, and students. In this fam- ily, relationships exist between ail sectors of the Woodward communi- ty. At the Academy, students see ad- ministrators, teachers, and counsel- ors as truly interested people, not just as persons with authority. Many of the relationships at W.A. naturally involved the students who make up the majority of the commu- nity. A unique relationship exists be- tween Woodward students and ad- ministrators because students are en- couraged to go to them with ideas and problems: administrators do not live behind closed doors out of the student ' s reach. The teacher-student relationships aie very specied also be- cause Woodwcird teachers put forth an extra effort to help the student achieve his goals. The tutorial period probably exemplifies this effort best because during this time, teachers give students one-to-one instruction, going beyond their classroom duties to help the student succeed. Another of the unique relation- ships at Woodward Academy, is the student-counselor relationship. The counselors act not only as advisors, helping students plan schedules, make college amd career choices, but are friends listening to students ' problems and trying to help them. Probably the most important as- pect of Woodward ' s many unique re- lationships is the fact that Woodward students see teachers as real peo- ple . Teachers at the Academy inter- act with students as coaches and club advisors, cis chaperones for interest- ing field trips and dorm parents for resident students. Through participa- tion, the faculty show the students that teachers do other things , too. Administrators, also, involve them- selves in all aspects of school life, giving wholehecirted support to the many eind diverse activities which contribute to the unique quality that distinguishes Woodward Academy. 12 RELATIONSHIPS Relationships! RELATIONSHIPS 13 iWOODWARDi T he Front Gate is perhaps the most recognized structure of the Academy. Over the years it has symbol- ized the stability and honor associated with the history of our institution. Interestingly, the Front Gate has not always existed in the same form it docs today. Photo- graphs in early yearbooks indicate that a simple iron fence connecting two brick pillars was the first predeces- sor of the Front Gate. The Senior Class of 1929-30 honored the Academy with the second Front Gate which closely resembles the structure of today. In 1935, the Senior Class presented the Academy with a cast eagle which had a seven foot wingspread and weighed over eight hundred pounds. The gift was a memorial to facul- ty member Sergeant A.T.Johnson who has suddenly died in October of 1934. The eagle was erected on top of the archway over the entrance to the campus, but because of the great weight of the eagle, it was neces- sary to raze the second Front Gate and construct a third gate similar in appearance to the present structure. The only real change between the 1935 edition and the current gate is that, in the late sixties, the entrance and exit ways were moved from under the arch to either side of it, and the passage way under the archway was per- manently blocked with an iron fence. - f inm Sfm tti In the late 1800 ' s, College Park, then called Manchester, was just being laid out. Citizens of the town felt the need for a strong academic program for young men; a military school seemed the best option. Some influencial townspeople located a large tract of land, bought it, and built Founder ' s Hall to house Southern Military Academy. The school operated for about three years until a se- vere small-pox epidemic caused the school to close. Founder ' s Hall remained unused for several years. Colonel John Charles Woodward was then Superintendent of Schools at Newnan, Georgia. In 1900, eight influencial citizens contacted Wood- ward about moving to College Park to re-establish a school. After considerable thought, Woodward decided to make the move. Later that year, he founded Georgia Military Academy on the first school ' s grounds. Today, Woodward Academy continues to per- petuate those principles established by its founders: opportunity for each student, a stuc- I tured, disciplined atmosphere, the pursuit of aca- I demic excellence, a regard for moral rightness and I integrity, and the love of country. 14 WOODWARD TRIVIA iTRIVIAi r Oix times in the Academy ' s history a marching unit and the band engulfed Washington, D.C. to help bring in a new Presi- dent of the United States of America. In the photo above, the Academy ' s cadets are shown participating in the 1961 Inau- gral Parade of John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Georgia Military cadets have also marched in the parades for Teddy Roosevelt, Taft, Wilson, Eisenhower, and Johnson. 1907 1920 1928 1937 1950 1964 1965 1967 1969 1971 1972 1973 1975 1978 1979 Trivia Briefs First dance held at GMA First Senior Dance Georgia Military Academy became the first school to offer a course in aviation First year that girls served ais GMA cheerleaders They were called the Red Peppers and were from Commercial High School.

That monument marks what was once a line of Confederate Fortifications built for the defense of Atlanta during the Civil War. It was this line that was broken by Sherman when he captured Atlanta on his march to the sea. The monument stands a silent witness of the war which swept over our land in the 1860 ' s. The stone marker was erected on the campus by the Daughters of the Confederacy to commemorate the events that took place during the War Between the States. The marker reads: Site of Atlanta Breast Works and Rifle Pits used for the Defense of Atlanta during the Battle July 1864 erected by Robert Edward Lee Chapter United Daughters of the Confederacy Another of the interesting markers on the cam- pus is the Korean War Monument. Given by the Class of ' 61, it honors those alumni who lost their lives in the Korean War. WOODWARD TRIVlA 15 CHANGE AT WOODWARDACADEMY As progress changes everything, so it has changed Woodward Academy, and like any lasting, successful insti- tution. Woodward has constantly tried new ideas in a con- tinous attempt to improve itself. The school year 1980-81 saw many changes in administration, curriculum and the physical structure of the campus. The administrative changes set up a new, triangular ad- ministration. Mr. Don Woolf, appointed Vice-President of Curriculum, will be in charge of the student aspects of Woodward, giving Dr. Jones the freedom to concentrate on alumni relations, development, and fund raising. Mr. Jim Chandler will act as Vice-President of Finance. Another administrative change has taken place with Mr. Paul Stock- hammer becoming Director of Admissions and Mr. Ira P. Sanderson taking on the responsibility of Development. In the area of curriculum, the emphasis in 1980-81, is on quality instead of quantity, giving students a deeper knowl- edge in essential areas. The school day has been shortened to six periods each lasting 50 minutes. Teachers have been asked to set higher standards for student work. Dr. Jones expresses this approach by saying I would rather a student take four or five challenging subjects and do well, than be spread so thin over many subjects. Renovations have been made in the physical structure of Woodward ' s campus. Classrooms have been added in Tucker Hall of the Lower School, and Upper School class- rooms have been remodeled. Resident life has been made more pleasant with the remodeling of Weltner I and II, Evans, and Woodward Halls. Rutland Hall, now the pre- school center, has also been remodeled, and a new pre- school wing has been added at the Busey School. In the student parking lot, a separate entrance and exit have been constructed, so traffic will flow in one direction, and park- ing spaces are now slanted, minimizing confusion and mak- ing parking easier. These many changes have been made because of Wood- ward ' s special attitude of always striving to do better. Because of this willingness to change and thereby improve. Woodward Academy again proves that it is a school com- mitted to being the best and to making a significant difference in the education of its students 16 CHANGES Woodward: 24 Hours In Brewster Hall, the Student Informa- tion Centej remains busy until 10:30 p.m. on weeknights and until 12:00 on week- ends. The T.I.C. office is the hub of all campus activities when classes are not in session. All boarding students must re- port there to pick up mail, sign in and out, or report for Monitor Duty. The Sen- ior Monitor is responsible for opening the school in the morning, raising the flag, collecting class roles, and locking the gates at night. The Teacher-In-Charge also stays until the Student Information Center closes and is accountable for all on-campus activities after the school day is over. On Sunday through Thursday nights, Night Study Hall is conducted in Brewster Hall from 7:30 until 9:30. Night Study Hall provides students who are having difficulty in academics an opportunity to receive additional help. The gym, stadium, and natatorium are other areas of seemingly constant activ- ity. During the summer, many of the ath- letic teams begin early preparation for the coming season. During the school year, most teams hold practice after classes until 6:00 p.m. and schedule games throughout the week. Some teams such as Woodward ' s swimmers, also have morning practices which start at 6:30 a.m. in order to better prepare them- selves for competition. Most students at Woodward participate in athletics and, as a result, develop school spirit and the ability to work as a team. People make Woodward Academy a truly twenty-four hour school. The non- stop activity of the Woodward communi- 18 W.A.: 24 HOURS ty binds us together and makes our cam- pus special. It creates a unique setting in which students, faculty, and staff can work and learn. Woodward is similar to many of the Atlanta area schools in some respects. Yet, the one aspect that makes Wood- ward a truly unique school is the fact that events are taking place on campus almost every day and night including weekends and holidays. The Academy does not close its doors or lock its gates at 6:00 p.m. as many other schools do. On the contrary, in the gym, the dining hall. Stu- dent Information Center, and residence halls activities continue virtually around the clock. It is the incessant movement of the faculty, staff and students that pro- duces that unique experience that is Woodward Academy. One of the main reasons for this non- stop activity is the existence of a resident community comprized of boarding stu- dents and on-campus faculty members and their families. Dorm life is cin ex- perience which most high school students are not exposed to. Although they may feel restricted at times. Woodward boarders seem to agree that after living on campus, they are better prepctfed than many other students to deal with the type of lifestyle encountered at college. Even though living with dorm peirents and hav- ing to sign out on weekends is not quite like living with Mom and Dad, the resi- dent students adapt quickly and become an integral part of life at the Academy. Because of the on-campus housing of teachers and students, the Robert W. Woodruff Dining Hall is used not only for school lunches and assemblies, but also for breakfast and dinner. The dining hall staff reports to work at 5:30 a.m. each day. By nightfall they will have served over two thousemd meals. Additionedly, the dining hall is used by local civic groups for their evening meetings. W.A.: 24 HOURS 19 FREE TIME A unique aspect of the program at Woodward is that the students are al- lowed and encouraged, to work to- ward goals which they set for them- selves. The free time allowed Wood- ward students exists because, at the Academy, students learn not only ba- sic subjects, but also the management of their own time. Students use this free time for studying, earning extra money, and, of course, relaxing be- tween what most students and teach- ers agree is a strenuous curriculum. Because of the rigourous courses that Woodward offers, many students utilize their free time as an opportuni- ty to study. Unlike many other schools. Woodward ' s library is out- standing for both study and research. Students looking for a quiet place to study that tough chemistry assisn- ment, complete their Spanish home- work, or finish reading Hamlet find that place in the McKay Library. The excellent reference aids in the library are more readily available to the stu- dent because he can make use of them during free periods. Besides individual study in the library, many students uti- lize the lounge for group study. Addi- tionally, for those who prefer studying outdoors, benches, located all over the campus, are available. In good weath- er, it is not unusual to see students in the courtyard during the lunch hour doing some last minute cramming. FREE TIME 21 CAMPUS SCENES 22 CAMPUS SCENES TO RESPOND CAMPUS SCENES 23 CAMPUS SCENES 24 CAMPUS SCENES TO REFLECT CAMPUS SCENES 25 STRIVING TOWARD SUCCESS 26 STRIVlNG v H j Studying . . . Working . . Practicing Success is an integral part of life at Woodward Academy. Experience has shown, however, that success is not something that comes easily. Through eighty-one years of diligent effort, the Academy has accomplished much and is considered a successful institution by anyone ' s standards. Like their prede- cessors, those in the Academy community of today still com- mit themselves to the ideal of success in every facet of school life. Striving to achieve is an almost universal characteri stic of students, faculty members, and administrators at Woodward. The attitude of maximum and consistent effort explains why members of the Woodward Academy community are consis- tently viewed as worthy opponents in athletic cind academic endeavors. Because of their compelling drive to succeed, the people of Woodward willingly go the proverbial second mile. Perhaps Winston Churchill best verbalized the attitude at Woodward when he described a winner as someone who never, never, never, never gave up. That kind of thinking is what has made Woodward the top-notch college preparatory school that it is today; that kind of thinking «,ill keep it that way. STRlVING 27 SENSATIONAL SUCCESS Winning . . . The Woodward Way Success, the special ideal on which our institution is built, describes Woodward well. The Academy ' s eighty -one years of successful operation is a result of high expectations combined with considerable hard work. For that reason. Woodward is noted for its achievement in the areas of academics, athletics and fine arts. Academically, Woodward has proved its high standards. The fact that ninety-nine per cent of Woodward graduates attend college and that our students consistently perform above the national average on exams such as the NEDT and the SAT, attest to the overall excellence of faculty members, the student body and the curriculum. Not only excellent in academics. Woodward also exhibits a high degree of achievement in its athletic programs as well. The Academy enjoys a statewide reputation as having excel- lent football, wrestling, swimming and tennis teams. Recently begun on a large scale basis. Woodward ' s fine arts program has quickly risen to the same high standcird of excel- lence found in the academic and athletic programs. Partic i- pants in the Academy ' s Festival Chorale, the drama division. dance and visual arts programs, are regularly commended for their high degree of expertise and talent. Although other successful schools do exist, few. if any. can point to the overall degree of excellence eveident in virtually every level of operation at Woodward Academy. In short, because of its winning ways. Woodward and suc- cess are two words which-in effect-are synonymous. SUCCESS 29 Academics Dr. Gary M. Jones PRESIDENT Maintaining The Tradition Of Leadership Arriving at W.A. in 1978, Dr. Gary M. Jones has been president of Woodward for the past three years. With the appointment of Mr. Don Woolf as Headmaster, Dr. Jones is now able to place a greater emphasis on alumni relations, development, and public relations. Dr. Jones believes that these areas are essential to Wood- ward Academy because the future of all private institutions will depend on how successfully the school is at obtaining support from the outside community. The quality of the education received at a school determines the quality of the school as a whole, and Dr. Jones has worked to ensure that a Woodward education is of the finest quality. He feels that the individual should be exposed to as much of what lies ahead in the academic world as is possible and that a student should be challenged to understand the difference be- tween the shoddy and quality aspects of the world. Dr. Gary Jones strives to make every phase of Woodward first rate, and in this way, gives every student the best education possible. 32 PRESIDENT Don A. Woolf HEADMASTER Ensuring Excellence In The Academy Newly appointed Vice President of Cur- riculum and Headnnaster, Don A. Woolf ex- emplifies the characteristics of the ideal ad- ministrator. Having come to Woodward Academy in 1963, Mr. Woolf has served in many areas of Woodward life as assistant principal of the Lower School, founding principal of the Busey School, principal of the Lower School, dormitory parent, and now in his present role of Headmaster. His new duties include regulaing the curriculum, academic instruction, personnel, and extra- currcular activities of all four schools. Mr. Woolf will surely make the positive impact in these areas that he has made in his past positions. Mr. Woolf has a distinct idea of what a good education should be. He feels the well- educated person must have a good balance of academics, athletics, and sociail skills and be able to gel along with people. Exjjertise in just one of these areas is not enough for the person planning to go to college. The student must be prepared mentally, phys- ically, and socially to be successful in college as well as to be successful in life. With leaders such as Mr. Woolf at the Academy, Woodward is sure to fulfill its goaa of achieving excellence in all areas. HEADMASTER 33 Dr. Gary M Jones President Mr. Don A. Woolf Headmaster Mr. Ira P. Sanderson Director of Development Mr. Paul Stockhammer Director of Admissions Mr. Robert D. Ballentine Upper School Principal Administration The Administration of Woodward Acade- my, under the direction of Dr. Gary M. Jones, is responsible for all academic, athle- tic, and financial activities on the Woodward campus. Each administrator is responsible for a certain facet of the total operation of the school. During the 1980-81 school year, several changes were made in the administrative staff which were of m?jor importance to faculty and students. Mr. Don A. Woolf, who had served at the Lower arid Busey Schools since 1963, became the new Headmaster, and now assists Dr. Jones in the areas of academic instruction, personnel, and extra curricular activities. Mr. Alvin G. Wendt re- placed Mr. Woolf as Principal of the Lower School, and Mr. David Chandler was added to the staff as Assistant Principal of the Low- er School. Also new on the administrative staff was Mr. Russell Logan Slider. A 1975 graduate of Woodward, Mr. Slider began work in June as the school ' s Alumni Direc- tor. He also supervises Academy publica- Mr James C Donovan Middle School Principal tions, and is advisor to the yearbook staff. Other changes in the administration were the appointment of Mr. Paul Stockhammer to Admissions Director and Mr. Ira Sander- son as the new Director of Development. Together, the sixteen members of the Academy ' s administrative staff work to in- sure smooth and effective operation of the school. Always available to assist students, parents, and faculty, they are a valuable asset to the institution, and provide impor- tant leadership qualities. 4 ADMINISTRATION Mr. Alvm G Wendt Mr Lindell E Polk Lower School Principal Busey School Principal Mr. Arthcr F.

Always friendly and cooperative they maintain offices, answer phones, type keep financial matters straight and, in gener al, make the lives of students, faculty, ad ministrators, and parents considerably ea sier. In the Lower and Busey Schools, mem bers of the staff not only act as office person nel but are also fill-in parent, nurse, and advisor to students. The staff in the Upper and Middle Schools also assist students in daily details which must be performed. New to the staff in 1980, was Mrs. Christine Ste- phens. She assists Dean Krueger and Dean Bell with discipline and attendance records for each Upper School student. Other changes in the staff included the appoint- ments of Mrs. June Geiger as Admissions Secretary and Mrs. Shirley Hanline as Devel- opment Sccretciry. In great part, the success of the 1980- 81 academic year was due to the dedicated and efficient work of the Woodward Academy Staff. The Phoenix wishes to express appre- ciation to these hard working members of the Woodwcird community, whose work is often not officially recognized- - ' a According to Mrs. Bobby Alford, curricu- lum coordinator, the aim of the English De- partment at Woodward Academy is to give the student a mastery of communication skills. Proficiency in these skills is developed through a correlated study of language, lit- erature, and composition. Particularly unique to Woodward ' s English Department is its emphasis on composition. Writing skills, often not taught in high school, are necessary to the success of individuals on the college level. The student who develops a good use of langLage and an appreciation and understanding of the great literature of the world should be able to meet the de- English mands of both the college curriculum and the business world. The ultimate goal of the Language Pro- gram of the Lower School is to ensure that each student reaches his optimum level of proficiency in three main areas: reading, English, and composition. Formal English in- struction is begun in the third grade. Prior to that time, emphasis is placed on oral com- munication. The English Language Arts Pro- gram of the Middle School is designed pri- marilly to review and refine basic skills in grammar usage and to develop competancy in writing effective sentences and unified, coherent expository paragraphs, based on the literature studied. English is taught on the regular and honors levels in the seventh and eighth grades with special classes for the student with particular learning disabilities. The Upper School English Program is de- signed to develop in students a mastery of communication skills and to emphasize com- petency in reading and critical thought. Cur- riculum for the ninth through the eleventh grades is locked-in , but in the twelth grade, students are given some elective choices. Seniors must take one quarter of grammar and vocabulary review and two quarters of literature. Four years of English are required for graduation. 38 CURRlCULUM CURRKXILUM 39 40 CURRlCULUM Mathematics Mrs. Mary Walker is the curriculum coor- diantor for the Academy ' s math depart- ment. The primary goal of the mathematics faculty is to prepare students to such a high degree that they will be successful in college level math courses. Other areas of emphasis include maximizing each student ' s potential, and keeping the curriculum updated by con- sistently reviewing new texts and college course offerings. In teaching math, the facul- ty feels it essential to relate the subject mat- ter to the world around the student. In this basic context, the student can better appre- ciate the significance of mathematics in his life. On the Lower School level, students in grades one through three are evaluated on achievement of specific basic skills such as counting, knowledge of number systems, and the four basic principles of arithmatic. In the fourth through sixth grades, addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication skills are refined and students begin to work with word problems. In the Middle School, math students are encouraged the develop analyt- ic skills and to think through problems in logical sequence. The Middle School curricu- lum and teaching methods significantly in- creases the students performance in later courses. Upper School classes continue to develop the pupils mathematic ability with classes such as pre-algebra. Algebra I and 11 and geometry. For individuals who vv.n. ' Ji fur- ther study. Advanced Placement and Calcu- lus are options made available to the rr.oro skilled math students. CURRICULUM, 41 The Science Department at Woodward Academy is headed by Mr. Gus Dearolph. Like others in the department, Mr. Dearolph feels that scientific study enables a student to better understand the world around him, encourages development of investigative skills, and promotes rational thought. Un- doubtedly, any student who applies himself in scientific study at the Academy will find himself better able to deal with the chal- lenges and demand 3 of life. Students at the Academy begin the study of science in kindergarten and, up through ninth grade, are taught basic scientific con- cepts. The Lower School program involves investigation of phenomena that can be seen, smelled, touched, tasted, or heard. In the seventh and eighth grades, students are exposed to more abstract ideas such as the concepts of energy and atomic structure through actual experiments in the laborato- ry. While in the Upper School, all ninth grade students are required to take biology. Additionally, all students enrolled at Wood- ward Academy must take at least one more year of science after completion of biology. The department prides itself on the wide variety of offerings available to students. Some options include: chemistry, physics, astronomy, anatomy, and environmental sci- ence, which are available as one and two quarter electives, or as full year courses. 42 CURRICULUM CLTRRICLTLLJM 44 CURRICULUM Mr. Bill Lincbcrry directs the Social Stud- ies curriculum at the Academy. The primary goal of the department is to teach an appre- ciation of historical events and their impact on civilization. If students can grasp the im- plication of history on society, they will be better prepared to analyze and solve the problems of the future. Additionally, a knowledge of past events may prevent re- peated mistakes. Expanding on the main goal, the social studies faculty develops the students ability to organise his thoughts and write coherently through the regular admin- istering of essay type tests. Many classes require pupils to write term papers and out- side reports. Encouraging good citizenship by overcoming apathy and ignorance is an- other departmental objective. Social studies is begun in the Lower School. Students in the first through the third grades are taught about basic social concepts. Fourth through sixth graders learn more concrete ideas and are introduced brif- ly to American History. In the Middle School, geography is emphasized in addition to the study of Eastern cultures. Students in the Upper School Social studies program learn about political systems. Modem Euro- pean History, and American History. Sen- iors may choose from a wide selection of electivcs including business law. economics, psychology, accounting, and European His- tory. Presently, two years of social studies are required for graduation. CURRICULUM 45 Foreign Language Department chairman, Jean Olstin, co- ordinates the curriculum for Woodward ' s Foreign Language Department. The Basic goal of the program is to teach students to communicate effectively in some other than their native language. Additionally, partici- pants in the Foreign Language classes are taught, not only to accept other cultures, but to appreciate them as well. Beginning in the seventh grade, selected students arc enrolled in Latin I and, after successfully completing the first year, are assigned to Latin II in their eighth grade year. In the Upper School, the Foreign Lan- guage Department offers students numerous options to complete the two year require ment for graduation. Possible choices in elude: Latin, French, Spanish, and German After completing graduation requirements many students continue their study by en rolling in third and forth year French or Spanish. Special programs exist for outstanding students in French and Spanish. Mrs. Bunny Renkin sponsors the French Honor Society and Mrs. Jill Nunez-Mason advises the Span- ish Honor Society. In order to be a member of either club, a student must display excep- tional language proficiency and be enrolled in upper level courses. 46 CURRICULUM CURRICULLIM 47 SMk, ' PKj tI mkI H D ' •, x fl S b !; iN fM 1 1 9i ., .

The purpose of Woodward Academy ' s physical education department is to instruct the student in movement and physical fit- ness. Curriculum coordinator for the depart- ment, Mr. Johnny O. Stallings, works with the coaches and the principals of the four schools to plan athletic activities that will best benefit students in their physical matu- ration. Students take physical education classes in the Lower, Busey, and Middle school as part of their requii d curriculum. In the Upper School, two yea - of physical education is required. The Lower and Busey Schools physical education program con- sists of games which teach the students basic physical skills, as well as develop their co- ordination and strength. Activities in the Middle School consist of more organized sports, such as Softball, basketball, soccer, and track. The Upper School students who take classes in physical education compete in similar activities, and occasionally chal- lenge coaches and faculty members to a game of softball or basketball. Students in the Upper School who participate in an after-school intramural or interscholastic sport may exempt their P.E. requirement during the quarter in which they participate in the extra-curricular sports. Students in the Upper, Middle, and Lower Schools are also involved in swimming activities in the Kenne- dy Pool, in all four schools, the physical education program is emphasized as an inte- gral part of the curriculum to develop stu- dents who are prepared physically as well a s mentally. 50 CURRICULUM Media .uy. The Media Department at Woodward is a combination of two distinct areas: the Li- Drary Division and the Television Studio. Both facilities are impressive and have as a sasic goal to be student-oriented in their operation. The Middle and Upper School Library is ocated in McKay Hall and contains some 18,000 volumes. In 1977, the facility was ' enovated and enlarged and now includes conference rooms, reading areas, study car- rols, and seating space for two hundred for- ty students. Head Librarian Joanne Heath, assistant Sara Crockawell, and clerk Shirley Satterfield strive to assist students with needed information in an atmosphere con- dusive to learning. In addition to the McKay Library, Woodward also maintains libraries at the Lower and Busey Schools where ele- mentary students are taught the basics of reference work and encouraged to develop good reading skills. Perhaps one of the most unique aspects about Woodward is the existence of the closed circuit television station. Coordinated by Ms. Suzanne Greer. WATV has studios in the Richardson Fine Arts Center. Aside from taping of T.V. specials, the WATV crew also produces three weekly homeroom shows. Writing scripts, operating cameras, and di- recting are some of the skills devloped by student workers. Communications and tech- nical methodology are several of the courses.

The members fought to a region championship and placed in the State. Outstanding affirmative debater for the team was Paul Raines, while out- standing negative debaters were Marc Bessho and Rex Reeves. Besides being outstanding debaters the team members were also successful in individual events. Rex Reeves captured several championships in extemporane- ous speaking while Bessho, Raines, and Frank Gomez placed in the same compe- tition. Warren Smith excelled in original oratory. Under the knowledgeable guidance of Mrs. Cleo Hudson, this year ' s debate group matched the record of Woodweird Academy ' s championship team of 1969.

Blade The Woodward Academy Blade is a bimonthly newspaper written oy Wood- ward students for the Academy commu- nity. This year, a new approach was ap- plied to producing the newspaper A smaller staff insured that each member would understand how to produce a newspaper as well as all the work in- volved. Each staff member worked harder and had more responsibility than in previous years. Also, new layout de- signs were introduced this year. Besides producing the newspaper, the Blade staff studied general journalistic style dur- ing their class 6th period. The senior editor wais Marya Nuss, and the junior editor was Alan Brown. Other staff positions included Melody Watts, news editor; Steve Smith, insights editor; Maria Meade and Leslie Upchurch, fea- tures editor; David Langford, editorial editor; and Stuart Smith, sports editor. Festival Chorale For Woodward students interested in choral music, being a member of the Fes- tival Chorale is the highest achievement they can attain. Through voice tests, Mr. Alan McClung, Director of the Chorale, chooses Upper School students who pos- sess exceptional ability in the vocal area. This year ' s Festival Chorale continued the tradition of excellence established in past years. In the Fall, they performed a backup with the pops singer Barry Mani- low on stage at the Omni. Also in the Fall, the chorale performed a concert with the composer Jean Berger. At Christmas time, the chorale held the third annual Madrigal dinner, an authentic medieval feast, in order to raise money for their summer concert tour. In the Spring, cho- rale members performed in the District V Choral Festival, and, as in the past, re- ceived a superior rating. The annual Spring Concert was another of the cho- rale ' s many activities. The hard work of chorale members throughout the year however, was directed at very unique goal: a summer concert in Europe. In June, chorale members travelled in Bel- gium, Holland, Germany, and France to present concerts in those countries. The 1980-81 succe ss of the chorale was due in part to its officers: President, Len Sa- vini; Vice-President, Burnie Berry; Secre- tary, Pam Wilson; and Deanna Nichols. These officers along with Kenneth Walk- er, Jipaum Askew, Martha Woodward, and Wiley Cain made up the chorale council which helps direct activities of the group.

The Derby Choir, directed by Mr. Alan McClung, is composed of Upper School students interested in choral music. With aspirations toward being in the Festival Chorale, members of the Derby Choir worked hard throughout the year to per- fect their musical abilities. Besides en- hancing their skills, the Derby Choir also performed in many concerts throughout the year. In the Fall, they worked to per- fect their pieces for the annual Winter Concert. After performing the concert, the Derby Choir began working on their part in the annual Spring Concert. The members of the choir wTOte their own one-act musical and performed it during the Spring of 1981. Derby Choir CHORALE 65 Band Interested students at Woodward Academy have the opportunity to partici- pate in the Symphonic, Jci2z, and Robert W. Woodruff Marching Bands. These three bands worked together and sepa- rately throughout the 1981 school year to perfect their performances and rise money for their various activities. Fund raising activities for this year in- cluded selling carnations at Homecoming and sponsoring the annual Happy Days Hop in February. The band ' s perfor- mances this year included participating in football halftime shows, playing at pep rallies, and competing in the Cetinial Band Festival In Douglasville, Georgia. Additionally, the Band played in the An- nual Spring Concert and at the 1981 graduation exercises. In the Spring of the year, the band members played in the Thomasville Rose Festival and then trav- eled to Disneyworld. The success of the band was in part due to their hard-working officers: Jimmy Nunn, Captain; Jerry Finegan, Field Commander; Brad Martin, Leiutenant Field Commander; Bernie Berry, First Lieutenant; James Kelly, Second Lieu- tenant; Edgar Ulloa, Sergeant Major; Mike McBrayer, Command Sergeant; Carol McGee, Master Sergeant; John McGaughey, First Sergeant; and Jennifer Kwech, Staff Sergeant. The band, during the 1980-81 season, was under the able directorship of Mr. Ron Rodman. Band Officers Intermediate Band 66 BAND - . Taiii JAZZ BAND: Steve McCune.

Waylon Yong Carol McGee Beginning Band Our Town Woodward Academy opened their the- atre season with Thornton Wilder ' s American classic Our Town. This play won the Pulitizer Prize in 1938 and fea- tures a unique staging with an almost bare stage to emphasize its message that sim- ple, everyday things in life are what really matter. The main role is that of the Stage Manager, who is a sort of narra- tor and related the bits of action directly to the audience. The massive and chal- lenging role of the stage manager was effectively played by Jeff Stepakoff . Oth- er actors with major roles were: Janita Poe, Robin Porter, Chris Uberto, Mark Barron, Ria Smith, and Todd Shaw. Mr. Mike Heck directed the cast of more than 40 students in this highly suc- cessful production. Lighting and technical direction was supervised by Woodward Academy senior David Hicks. The suc- cess of the play drew large crowds each night. After all the long and dedicated practices, cast members were rewarded with experiences that they may benifit from in the future. The Woodward Academy Fine Arts de- partment ' s second production of the year was The Effects of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds. The suc- cess of Paul Zindel ' s play was due to the hard work of the director, Mr. Mike Heck, and a small but brilliant cast. Missy Brantley played the part of Tillie, and it is through her eyes that the audience viewed the story. Martha Woodward played the role of Beatrice and represent- ed the personality of a psychotic getting rapidly worse as the play proceeded. Also in the cast were Anne Morgan who played Ruth, Maria Luke who portrayed Nanny, and Melody Watts who acted out the role of Janice. The excellent acting of the cast and the exceptional work of the production crew insured the success of the staging of Marigolds. After the two performances at Wood- ward, the cast entered the Region AAA play contest and won second place hon- ors in the competition. Although this production was Missy Brantley ' s first chance at the stage, she displayed outstanding talent and compre- hension of her role. Marigolds 68 DRAMA Bye, Bye Birdie On March 26, 27, and 28, the Fine Arts department presented the musical Bye, Bye. Birdie. Birdie is a satirical and funny look at the rock and roll world of 1960. The Musical revolves around the chaos that is created when an Elvis Pres- ley type rock idol named Conrad Birdie is drafted into the army. Playing the leads in this production were: David King as Birdie ' s manager, Albert Peterson; Mar- tha Woodward as his secretary fiance. Rose Alvcrez; and David Lowry as Birdie. Playing other key roles were: Gordon Scott, Virginia Shapard. Leanne Koon, George Carley, Janita Poe, and Lisa Frost. The production was directed by Mr. Heck. Musical direction was by Mr. Ron Rodman, and choral supervision was by Mr. Alan McClung. More than 55 stu- dents from the Upper, Middle, and Lower Schools were involved with the produc- tion of Bye, Bye, Birdie. MUSICAL 69 Dance TeJented dzinccrs at Woodward Acade- my have the opportunity to become members of the Woodward Dance En- semble. Other students who are still working on perfecting their abilities may work as apprentices to the company. The major project of the Woodward Dance Ensemble was their Spring Dance Concert held on April 23, 1981. Throughout the 1980-81 school year, the members practiced to perfect their skills and produce routines for the concert. Other activities included participating in school and community activities, exhibi- tions, and workshops. Also during the year, the Dance Ensemble invited guest teachers to work with the group. Partici- pating in the guest teacher program were: Hal Linter who conducted a folk dance workshop, Lali Bail who held a ballet session, and Mari Kajawara who conducted a modern dance class. Several dedicated and experienced members of the dance group served as officers. Those students leading the group were: Beth Brown, President; Jeff Johnson, Vice President; Patricia Saker, Secretary; and Glynis Elliot, Treasurer. The Dance Ensemble ' s faculty sponsor was Ms. Milne Bail. LEFT TO RIGHT: Dana Tructman, Whitney Troope, Mary Alexander, Cheryl Merideth.

M Su- zanne Greer, the Woodward Academy T.V, crew developed a successful pro- gram of television journalism. Crew mem- bers began working during the summer by checking equipment and making re- pairs in preparation for the beginning of the 1980-81 school year. From Septem- ber through June, the crew ' s main re- sponsibility was the production of home- room shows for the Upper and Lower Schools. Additionally, the WATV crew also made special presentations such as the interviews of SGA and service club officers. The crew was aided by the addition of several new pieces of equipment such as the two JVC cameras. With the new equipment, the students were able to im- prove the quality of WATV productiorvs. 1 W.A.T.V. 71 Homecoming: Queen Paige Reigns As tension mounted and both fans and representatives eagerly waited for the announcement, Paige Goldsmith was crowned 1980 Homecoming Queen, and Robin Hall recieved the Maid of Honor.

Bryan Turner scored WA ' s first touchdown with a 18 yard pass from Bill Archer. Woodward ended the game with 344 yards total offense. The first offensive drive of WA ate ten minutes off the clock. When Jonesboro finally got the ball, the great Woodward defense shut out all of Jonesboro offensive drives. Marist 14-20 Throughout the whole game. Woodward led the Marist War Eagles, and going into the fourth quarter, WA had a 14-7 lead. Costly fumbles at crucial times ruined a Woodward victory. The Final score was 14-20, Marist. Westminister 17-2 In the third game, against Westminister, Howard Delashmit stole the show with two 1 yard touchdown runs to conclude two 61 and 63 yard drives of WA. Mike Chance was another familiar face in this game as he led the rushers with 94 yards. Charlie McNash put the icing on the cake with a 31 yard field goal to make the final score 17-0.

I Heritage 23-0 The Woodward Academy War Eagles went for it ' s third victory in the fourth regular season game against Heritage and came out on top with a fincJ score of 23- 0. During the first half of the ganne. Woodward ' s score was restricted to a fieldgoal by Charlie McNash. However, the second half proved very successful for the War Eagles as both Bill Archer and Mike Chance rushed for Woodward Academy touchdowns. Charlie McNash ended the game with a 27 yard fieldgoal Rockdale 10-7 After a totally defensive game, the War Eagles were able to chalk up another Woodward Academy victory against Rockdale County. Tremendous defensive accomplishments by Howard Delashmit and Jerome Rossetti restricted Rockdale County to only one touchdown. Another crucial turning point late in the fourth quarter was an awesome sack by Gerald Browner which prevented a Bulldog score. Scoring for Woodward Academy were Mike Chance with a 1-yard run and Charlie McNash with a 37-yard fieldgoal. Walter F. George 31-0 Both the offense and defense proved outstanding during the sixth regular season game against the Walter F. George Falcons. Woodward .Academy ammasscd 268 total yards with four touchdown runs by Bill Archer. Duane Carter, and John Pemberton. Adding to the Woodward Academy offensive attack was a fieldgoal made by Charlie McNash. The Woodward defense limited the Falcon offense to only 114 yards. Harris 47-6 On October 17th, the War Eagles played against Harris County in thei r first sub-region game. Unlike other War Eagle victories, this contest was not very exciting. As Coach Hixon commented after the game, We dressed out 35 players and played them all. On the defensive side of the game, John Bazemore, Thomas Cooper, Howard Delashmit and Jerome Rossetti all played outstandingly which limited Harris County to only six points. Offensively, Duane Carter, Mike Chance, Roger McFarlin, and Bill Archer each ran for one touchdown. Leading scorer was Geoffrey Rhue who ran for two touchdowns. Adding to the score was Jim Olsen who threw a touchdown pass to Bryan Turner. Last but not least, kickers Thomas Cooper and Charlie McNash added three and two points respectively. Henry 49-0 By halftime in this totally offensive game. Woodward Academy led 21-0. Scoring in the first half were Bill Archer and Bryan Turner. In the second half, the flying War Eagles could not be stopped as John Pemberton, Tim Murry, Roger McFarlin and Jim Olsen all scored, making the total and final score 49-0. However, the awesome Woodward defense played as well, if not better than the offense, destroying every hope of a Warhawk score. Troup 28-0 Coach Hixon expected a much harder contest than that which he received at Troup County. The 28-0 Woodward Academy victory could be called a complete shutout. Scoring that night were Bill Archer, Duane Carter, and John Pemberton. Not much can be said about this lopsided Woodward Academy victory except that it provided a vacation for the Eagles. M.D. Collins 26-11 In the first quarter of play, Woodward Academy started the game off right when quarterback. Bill Archer, scored on a four-yard run. The extra point, attempted by Charlie McNash, however, was missed. Duane Carter scored during the second quarter on a three yard run. Afterwards, a two point play was tried, but the attempt failed. At that time the score stood 12-0. Bill Archer scored in the next quarter on a one yard run, and the extra point was good Meanwhile, M.D. Collins had kicked a fieldgoal to make the score 19-3. In the last quarter of play, Howard Dclashmit scored on a one yard run. The final score was 26-11. Overall, Woodward Academy had 300 yards rushing. Defensively, the Collins running game was completely stopped, but they gained over 200 yards passing. Walker 24-22 Unlike the last Woodward Academy victory, the game against Walker was very exciting. On the War Eagles ' first scoring drive, quarterback Bill Archer marched 67 yards downfield, and Howard Delashmit ended the drive with a 1-yard touchdown run. The next score of Woodward Academy resulted from a costly mistake made by Walker. Micheal Bebee, Walker ' s quarterback, fumbled in Walker territory, and Thomas Cooper ran the ball in for another War Eagle score. Walker reduced the Woodward lead on their next drive, and a costly fumble in Woodward territory set up another Warhawk score. With the last score, the game was tied up. However, before the half was over. Charlie McNash kicked a fieldgoal to make the score 17- 14. Woodward Academy ' s first drive was rewarded with another touchdown and extra point to set the score at 24- 14. Walker did score another touchdown, but they were not able to defeat the War Birds, as Woodward Academy chalked up another victory. Besides the outstamding performances of the offense, the offensive line also contributed greatly. Specifically, Jeff Ramey, Tim Murray, and Joe Minor threw awesome blocks which, without a doubt, saved the offense. The final score in this close contest was 24-22, in favor of the War Eagles. Lithonia 17-14 Woodward defeated Lithonia 17-14 to clinch the Region 4-AAA championship. Key turnovers and strong defense paired with strong rushing and passing games enabled the War Eagles to keep their State Championship hopes alive. Howard Delashmit, Tim Murray, and Bryan Turner had excellent games offensively. The foot of Chcirlie McNash proved to be a deciding factor in game as he kicked two extra points and a field goal. Defensive stars for the state bound War Eagles were Greg Carlson. Thomas Cooper. Bryan Turner, and Gerald Browner. Crisp County 12-7 In the quarter final playoff game against the Crisp County Cougars, Woodward Academy again emerged victorious. The awesome War Eagle Defense proved to be the contributing factor to the Woodward Academy win. Though the Woodward offense made three costly fumbles, the Cougars were able to capitalize o n only one of these mistakes. If not for the excellent play by the defensive front of John Bazemore, Thomas Cooper and Gerald Browner, this game would probably have ended all hopes of a State Championship. The winning touchdowns were made by Mike Chance, who ran in from the 5-yard line and John Pemberton, who also had an excellent run. With this victory, the War Eagles increased their winning streak to eleven consecutive games. Early County 17-3 They just beat the heck out of us, said Early County coach Sam Williams after Woodward ' s 17-3 stomping of the Bobcats. He was right; the War Eagles and their fans didn ' t travel 200 miles to taste defeat. Through awesome play by both the defensive and offensive teams. Woodward completed the semi-final portion of the playoffs and continued on to meet Marist for the State-Championship. The Bobcats actually hurt themselves as quarterback Trey Woolf threw six interceptions with two of these landing in the hands of Bryan Turner. John Pemberton ran 20 times for 78 yards to lead Woodward ' s 213 offensive total. Bill Archer ran eight times for 57 yards. The first touchdown for Woodward came with 9:09 left in the third quarter when Pemberton took the ball into the endzone after a 31- yard carry. Charlie McNash added the first of two PAT ' s. On the next series, McNash kicked a 32-yard field goal after an interception by Freddie Blackmon. With 8:22 left in the fourth quarter. Archer completed a 7-yard touchdown pass to Bryan Turner. Woodward had 152 yards rushing and Archer was 4 of 7 passing for another 62 yards. Marist 14-10 Unlucky breaks at the start of this class AAA state football championship game were to blame for Marists 10-0 lead late in the first half. During the third quarter, Woodward Academy had taken the lead, and Marist was given possession of the football. With possesion, Marist drove to the Woodward 3 and gained a first and goal. At this point, the Marist War Eagles moved the ball to the 1 yard line, but were not able to score. Woodward Academy took over at the 1 yard line at the start of the fourth quarter, but was unable to score. One last possesion of Marist was doomed when a Marist fumble was recovered by Greg Carlson. With 1:50 left to play, Marist knew the end was near. We did want it as much as they did! .J 2 . 1 gm ii. Ik ft 8X yH i Ll ' - .Mi J.V. Football: F uture All-Americans The Junior Varsity Football team ended the season with a very impressive record of 6-1. Teams the War Eagles opposed included: Marist, Westminster, Heritage, Troup County, Harris County, and St. Pius. The J.V. won against all of these teams except Westminster. Long hours of practice proved successful because the team showed vast improvement over the last year. Their record improved from four wins and three loses last year to six wins and one loss this year. Under the leadership of coaches Jay King and Don Cardell, the Junior Varsity War Eagles showed determination and initiative to be winners. Throughout the rough season, the entire team displayed dedication to keep their season a winning one. All promise excellence on the future Varsity team. BOTTOM ROW; Coach King. R Duncan. D Cooper. E.

Even with such outstanding starters as David Lowry, Cory Eubanks, Tommy Kammerer, Chuck Hoffman, and Steve Cunningham, the team did not achieve the success it had hoped for. Most of the games, however, were lost by only small margins; four games were lost by only one point. Though no one player stood out as a super star, the individuals on the 1980-81 squad worked well together as a team. The combination of Lowry, Eubanks and Cunningham proved successful as the three scored approximately sixty percent of the team ' s total points. FIRST ROW.

The young team faced many experienced teams such as Briarwood, Greater Atlanta Christian Academy, Troup County, and Westminister yet performed admirably. The lady War Eagles defeated Stockbridge twice, M.D. Collins once and Lakeshore once to end the season with a good record. A major obstacle the lady War Eagles faced this season was the fact that only two starters, Paige Goldsmith, and Beth Hale returned from last year ' s team.

The most valuable players for the team were Susan Mullins and Rhonda Goldsmith. Coach Carroll provided constructive leadership and put in much time with the girls.

Led by starters Mike Johnson, Will Jones, Barham Cook. Jimmy Witherspoon, and John Brooks, the team ' s primary asset was consistency. Another helping factor was excellent play by Chip Ezell. Eric Archer, and Josh Thorpe, who came off the bench to help pull the Eagles through the tight spots. An extra meaning was added to the winning record as it was Coach McKanes final season coaching at Woodward. The entire team is to be commended for their hard work, dedication, and spirit throughout the year.

The team ' s record for the 1980-81 year was 5 wins and 7 losses. Woodward ' s biggest challenge came from the teams of J.C. Booth and Newton County. Woodward ' s team seemed almost evenly matched with the rivals such as Marist, St. Pius, and Crestwood. Woodward ' s War Eagles defeated Westminister twice during the season. Perhaps the strongest aspect of the Woodward Ninth Grade team was their defense. Most players were fast and proved successful in their defense endeavors. Although the team lost more games than it won, several young, talented players gained valuable experience and will undeniably be great assets to the Junior Varsity squad in the coming season. 8 s niMUffiitiii i Building For The Future Although the boy ' s varsity swimming team had very few seniors, they exhibited surprising depth in the 1980-81 swimming season.

One reason for the overall success was the fact that both teams were fortunate to have many returning lettermen from last year. Additionally, the members displayed admirable team work and related well to Coaches Vincent and Boyer. Also impressive was the high degree of individual dedication to the sport. As Coach Vincent stated, I would rather have seven dedicated athletes on the team than fifty people who don ' t care. Members of the Girls team included: Darlene Lee, Margaret Eberhart, DeSales Rosctti, Leslie Hutcheson, Jamie Dinnerstein, Nancy Randolph, and Euodia Ranbo. Outstanding members of the Boys team were Robert Ross and Spider Maxwell. Both were among the top all-around gymnasts in the state of Georgia.

Grapplers Hit The Mats This year ' s varsity wrestling team had an outstanding year primarily due to consistency. Wrestlers such as Pete Fritts, Charlie McNash, John McMillian, Joe Leyva, Clint Stallmgs, Charles Bouvctte, Daryl Post and Jerome Rossetti continously provided winning performances to lead the team to a 5-2 record. In the opening tri-match, the War Eagles defeated Westminister by a score of 58-13 but fell to Marist 13-43. By defeating North Springs and Parkview by socres of 42-25 and 51-21 respectively the War Eagles proved that they were a team to be reckoned with. The War Eagles qualified ten wrestlers in Region 4-AAA for the state AAA tournament held at Woodward. Pete Fritts and Charlie McNash placed first, while Clint Stallings, John McMillian, Joe Leyva and Jerome Rosetti finished second place. Woodward placed 12th out of 53 teams at the State AAA finals.

Among the 22 man varsity team. 16 players were Seniors and provided exceptional leadership. Under the coaching of Mr. Mike Carpenter, and co-captains David Barnett and Jim Keener, the team blended skill and innate ability to achieve notable success. Realizing the need to always be grooming new talent. Coach Carpenter worked with the Junior Varsity coach, Mr. Tom Faber and the Ninth Grade coach, Mr. George Dietz, in developing the skills of younger players. Based on the results of the 1980-81 season. Woodward can reasonably expect to be a powerful soccer opponent in the State of Georgia. FIRST ROW: Pop Talaiak, Danny D ' Amico. Mike Carlos.

' ' ' ----, Long Practices And Long Miles The 1981 Girls Varsity Track Team, coached by Mrs. Lindy Hale, gained both experience and leadership in their successful season. Most of the girls involved were sophomores and juniors with several seniors taking key roles in organizing the group. There are two discouraging factors, however. First, the fact that many of the girls were inexperienced runners and secondly, the opposition they faced was tough. Although faced with many problems, the runners were still able to win many meets, and put up notable competion. Outstanding members of the track team included Louis Murphy and Freddie Blackman. r 7 nWL f IWKtl li mm 1 Hk ' ' m KSm : L -% - % • • -A m m FIRST ROW: Billy Linz, Geoffrey Rhue, Patrick Albequerque, Coach Marion Blume.

JK m: Double And Deuces Both the Girls and Boys Varsity Tennis Team were under the direction of new coaches for the 1980-81 season. Assuming coaching responsibility for the Girls team was Mr. Jeff Sanders. The new coach for the Boys team was Mr. Jack Bennett. Both men were new to the faculty in 1980 and proved to be not only excellent teachers but superior coaches as well. The Girls team had many returning lettermen from the 1979-80 season. Among the strong players were Daphne Bryson, Leslie Blatchford, and Bitsy Smith. A new member to the team, Lisa Frost, proved to be a welcome asset in developing a winning season. The Boys team also had many returning lettermen. Valuable players for the 1980-81 season included: Cliff Hilderbrand, Richard Johnston, Wade Johnston, and Billy Jones.

With such starters as Paige Goldsmith, Robin Hall, Ann Timmons, and Laura Harris, the team dominated their opponents. Playing good, basic, smart softball was Coach Carroll ' s goal, and the Woodward girls followed through in true W.A. style. With many returning lettermen, the 1981- 82 season will more than likely also be a winning one. Hlis Golf 1981 A Successful Season Under the coaching of Mr. Lee Vincent, the Woodward Academy golf team displayed a great deal of talent. Traveling to different golf courses in the area, the group established themselves as out- standing athcletes who not only played well but also understood the strategy behind the game- Much of the success of the 1980-81 season was due to the fact that nearly all of the team members were returning lettcrmen. Outstanding players were Kathe Kingston and Clau-kc Spratlin. LEFT TO RIGHT: Cathy Kingston, Steve Naylor, Coach Vincent, Clark Spratlin.

It seems that sixteen is the magical number the age which represents freedom. Gone are the carpools and being taken with your date by your mom to the movies or a school dance. At sixteen you get the ever anticipated dri- ver ' s license! Being sixteen is not all fun; however, with the freedom, comes added responsibility. Since parents are not always there now, you must learn to evaluate situations and make decisions on your own. The real catch, how- ever, comes in having to accept the conse- quences of your decisions but that ' s all part of growing up.

Perhaps that collective characteristic was best dis- played in the class ' s preparation for the Ju- nior-Senior Prom. Having begun fund raising during their sophomore year, the class col- lected over four hundred dollars to get the project started. During their junior year, class members conducted vcirious fund rais- ing events such as the sponsoring of conces- sion stcinds at the ninth grade football games, conducting Spirit Days, and the pro- moting of Academy bake sales.

Specifically, the five Middle Schoolers were chosen for roles in the Woodward Fine Arts department ' s musical. Bye, Bye, Birdie which was presented in March of 1981. Additionally, because of their early stage experience and the opportunity of being coached by professionals such as Mr. Mike Heck, Mr. Alan McClung, and Mr. Ron Rodman, certainly Ellison, Stith, Graham, Alexander, and Hig- gins can well expect to expand their capabilities.

Under the coaching of Mr. Ed Notestine, the Middle School Track Team established for itself a reputation of being winners. Practicing in the afternoon after school, the seventh and eighth graders ran along side of their counterparts in the Upper School.

Dearolph as this year ' s outstanding member of the Woodward community. Known to most students by reputation if not personally, Mr. Dearolph since his arrival in 1965, has established himself as a great gentleman as well as a distinguisged scholar. An avid reader, he is knowledgable not only in his chosen field of physics, but also in numerous other academic disci- plines. Ever present in his conversations and teach- ings are a quick wit and an earnest desire to develop the positive aspect of every situation. As chairman of the Science Department, he has influenced the building of a curriculum that has its major goal making science understandable and appli- cable to everyday life. That honest and worthy ap - proach is indicative of Gus Dearolph a man of infinate compassion, insight and humanity. PHOENIX TRIB ' TE 31 The Eighties-A Premier Decade To go along with the beginning of a new decade a series of firsts occured across the board. In sports, poli- tics, fashion trends, and other categories, giant steps were taken in startling new directions. Georgia sports fans enjoyed peak performances from their athelctes as the Atlanta Falcons captured the NFC Western Division Championship, the Georgia Bulldogs finished the season as the number one team in college football, and closer to home, our own Woodward War Eagles swept the 3-AAA division and won the state championship title. On the other side of the coin, the Atlanta Hawks, plagued by injury, had one of their worst seasons ever. Atlanta ' s budding soccer team, however, played an outstanding indoor season and won the Cen- teral Division NASL Championship. The beginning of the eighties heralded great political change. Ronald Reagan ' s landslide presidental defeat of Jimmy Carter, and the simultaneous election of several Republican officials represented a clear voice of the American electorate making its wishes known. The dra- matic and emotional rescue of the fifty-two U.S. citizens held hostage in Iran drew the American people closer together, while debates on the economy divided them. New and drastic policy changes institued under the new administrtion included sweeping government spending cuts, hiring freezes and oil price decontrols. Fashion, too, underwent a shocking transformation. The new wave look hit the scene and featured avant- garde combinations of color, texture, and length. Also popular was the prep look in fashion. New musical groups with mames like the Boomtown Rats, Devo, and the Split Ends, grew in popularity as people enjoyed the mix of rock-n-roll and electronic sound effects. The eighties dawned as an era that com- bined the best of the old and new. Scientific breakthroughs were an integral part of soci- ety as the eighties began. Machines were developed that allowed the deaf to use the telephone, built in computers became standard energy conservation equipment on American cars and programs were developed that taught infants to read and to do simple mathematic problems. In all fields of study, and in virtually all aspects of life, incredible progress was made. The giant steps that were made transend the boundaries of race, sex, color, and religion and benifited all Americans. 318 EPlLOGUE ■ fcm,F ' Woodward Academy: 81 Years Of Growth, Success, And Memories. The academic year 1981 brought a great deal of joy to everyone at Woodward Academy. We welcomed a new Headmaster, produced a state championship foot- ball team, enjoyed a redesigned student parking lot. and congratulated several faculty newlyweds. A class period change in schedule and new rules in the student lounge made studying ein easier tzisk for many of us. Additional- ly in 1981, the Woodward student body made significant contributions to the community ' s hungry and needy through numerous philanthropic projects such as the Yellow Ribbon Day collection and Hunger Task Force Days. In 1981, students became aware of Woodward ' s committment to its community and to its students as the school offered generous programs to encourage zmd develop success. A little sadness was a part of 1981, too. We hated to say good-bye to Mr. Tim McKcine. Mrs. Ellen Mock. Dr. John Oliver and others, yet at the same time we wel- comed with open cirms the new faculty members who joined us. 1981 was a good year a time of growth, success, and of memories. As we conclude this eighty-first year of the Academy, we do so with understandable sadness in that it is all over, but also, we feel great pride in our accomplishments and a high expectation for the future of Woodward Academy and her people.
