PHOENIX — 1984 1662 RUGBY AVENUE COLLEGE PARK, GEORGIA VOLUME FIFTEEN Wi oodward Academy ' s Upper School, occupying Brewster and McKay Halls, is the central focal point for the Academy ' s programs. An Upper School student is exposed to an extensive cur- riculum which expands the student ' s creativity and individ- uality. The Upper School teachers strive to help each stu- dent reach his full potential by instilling in each student a sense of excellence. In grades nine through twelve, the students begin to form the basis of their college education by choosing the direction their education will take. The Upper School not only gives the students the academic foundation that is needed for college, but also gives them the sense of responsibility needed for adulthood. The Mid- dle School, located in R.L. Brand Hall, bridges the gap between the Lower Schools and the Middle School. The purpose of the Middle School is to prepare students aca- demically, athletically and emotionally for the new exper- iences of the Upper School. The Middle School is success- ful in this endeavor as the school meets the needs of the student as a whole person. The key to this success is a dedicated faculty working together to bring out the best in each student. Because of this obvious concern, the Middle School is a place of unbounding excitement and enthusi- asm where each student can form those skills and talents necessary to be successful in the Upper School. 1. Senior Selh Cushman takes his turn as monitor in the Upper School. 2. Chuck Martino and Chris Smith use their time wisely in Mr. Howick ' s Oceanography class. 3. Mark Elias reads his test carefully before answering the questions. 4. Middle School student Scott Zimmerman was required to take Computer Science as an eighth grader. S.

Active debaters, David Strickland, Brett Mizelle and Meft Miller relax during a debate team meeting. S 2 INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION 3 4 INTRODUCTION A t the Lower School, which is locat- ed in Tucker and Rutland Halls, a Woodward Academy student ' s education begins. The school pre- pares the younger students by coordinating its curriculum with the Middle and Upper Schools. The faculty insures that its curriculum gives the students the foundation nec- essary for a strong education. By exposing the students to all concepts of learning, the Lower School is able to instill a sense of responsibility and citizenship in its students. As students move from one level of accomplishment to the next, they are expected to be progressively more responsi- bile for tfiemselves. The Lower School students are encour- aged to become involved in other school activities such as intramural sports, performing groups, and special interest groups. By doing so, they can develop their talents and interests, always striving to be the best students they can be. The Busey School, located in Riverdale, is very much an intregal part of Woodward Academy. Located on 23 beauti- fully wooded acres, Busey School lays the foundation for the continued education of Woodward students. Because of its size and location, the school has the advantage of being an active community school as most of the Busey School students live in the surrounding areas of Fayette and Clayton counties. Like the Lower School of main campus, Busey gives each student co nfidence in order to success- fully make the transition not to the Middle School, but main campus as well. 1. The Lower School has students who participate in an active scouting program. 2. The Busey School has students in kindergarten through grade six. 3. An art student in the Lower School finds many methods to perfect her drawing. 4. Lauren Rawlins is fascinated by an interesting book. 5. The Pre-School students enjoy the natural setting of Busey. 6. Students are taught early to appreciate art. 7. Lower School students take a break for lunch. 8. The Busey School is fortunate to have dedicated teachers such as Mrs. Kalher- ine Young. lNTRODUCTION 5 w ith the advancement of time, all as- pects of life changes. In 1900, Georgia Military Academy was founded by Colonel John Charles Woodward as a military school for young men. Since that time the small boys school has grown into a prominent, flourishing co-educational academy. There have been many physical changes at the Academy; however, the focus on maintaining high academic standards still remains as constant as it was in 1900. In 1932, Colonel Woodward turned over ownership of Georgia Military Academy by deeding it to a self-perpetuating Board of Govenors. Today GMA Woodward Academy has an all-time record enroll- ment of over 1700 students. Regardless of the number of students, one thing that has remained constant for 84 years is the Academy motto: Every Opportunity for Every Stu- dent. This will be the standard banner of the Academy as it begins its next 84 years of excellence. 1. In 1961, these two CMA cadets had a brief conversation before class in front of the old entrance to Brewster Hall. 2. A 1963 CMA cadet is decorated with a medal during Sunday exercises on the parade grounds. 3. Maria Castellanos helps a young cadet check out books in the library. 4.

I t the beginning of this century, 1 1 1 I Woodward Academy, then Geor- gia Military Academy, was found- ed. In 1932, Colonel and Mrs. John Charles Woodward transferred ownership of Georgia Mili- tary Academy to a special B oard of Govenors. Afterwards, the State of Georgia granted a new charter to the school as a non-profit institution. Since that time Woodward Acade- my has retained the tradition of a Board of Govenors. Members are individuals who are recognized leaders in their professions and in their communities. Through the Board of Govenors, the Academy continues to offer every opportunity for every student. Members of the board in- clude Ben Johnson, Chairman, Ray Crocker, Ray Woodall, Anne Rivers Siddons, C.W. Dukeheart, Charles Pyke, Byron Harper, Thomas Lyons, Gene Milner, Ben Jenkins, Emeri- tus, Robert Tucker, J.W. Jones, Edward Andrews, Paul Heard, Robert Brand, James Colquitt, John McDonough, William Allison, A. A. Malazia, William Clark, John Ran- dolph, Thomas Busey, Michael Carlos, W.

INTRODUCTION 13 w oodward Academy ' s Parents Club is the official organization for par- ents to help support the Acade- my ' s academic, athletic and artistic programs. The Parents Club consists of the Executive Com- mittee, Individual School Officers, the Committees-At- Large, and the Standing Committees. The Executive Com- mittee meets monthly to transact general business and to coordinate activities. Each school has individual officers that work on projects for that school. The Committees-At- Large have responsibility for certain projects of service and fund raising. The Standing Committees meet with adminis- trators, teachers, and students to communicate the pro- gress and interest of certain areas. The general projects of the Parents Club include the Academy Calendar, the Acad- emy Directory, football programs, the football concession stand, and other programs for each school. Executive Offi- cers of the Parents Club include Allen and Sue Adams, Alice and Hugh Weaver, Jan and John Wood, Alan and Sally Stith, and Sandy and Bob Thomas. 1.

Taught by Mr. Tom Hovyick, the class instructed land- locked students in the ageless questions of the oceans and to re- vere its beauty and serenity. Stu- dents were taught concepts of navi- gation and chart-reading. Field trips were offered to beach locations so that students could master and per- fect information learned in the class- room. The course provided another avenue of development of the stu- dent ' s ability to question, compre- hend and appreciate. JEWELRY DESIGN The Jewelry Design class began in 1981, when Mr. Chris Greenway of the Visual Arts Department began teaching at Woodward. In this class, students design and create their own jewelry masterpiece whether it be a ring or other form. The students can work with various materials such as brass, copper, and sterling silver. The class is equipped with all materi- als and machinery needed so that each student has the opportunity to express his creativity. LAW For several years, students have had the opportunity to study Law at Woodward. Taught by Mr. Wal- ter Monti, students receive in- sight into the American court sys- tem untangling many of the legal questions surrounding court cases. The students learn about how a case is readied for court. They become familiar with briefs, depositions, interrogatories and judgments. The students then practice their legal knowledge by preparing and participating in several mock court cases. TRIPS For the Lower School students, lessons can sometimes be very confusing. It is hard to understand information about places or to- pics when the student cannot visualize the concept. The student has a jumble of infor- mation and no way to straighten out the mess. It is like pieces of a puzzle. The student is better able to understand when he can see the actual place where an event happened or how something works. Field trips help the pieces of the educational puzzles fall into place and fit together bvery year many Woodward Academy Lower School students visit different parts of the country. This year in April, the fourth grade class visited several historical sites in Georgia including a tour of Savannah, first ,city of Georgia, the main attraction of the expedition. In Savannah, they were able to learn more about Savannah ' s defenses as they crawled in and over Ft. Pulaski on Cock- spur Island located in the middle of the Sa- vannah River. Also in April, the fifth grade visited Hunts- ville, Alabama, where they toured the Space Center rocket base and learned of the tech- nological advances made in the space field. They also went to Williamsburg, Virginia, where they watched actual colonial crafts being demonstrated, observed a military reinactment and walked through the Capital, home of the first Virginia House of Bur- gesses. They also toured colonial Jamestown, first permanent English settlement, and Busch Gardens. The sixth grade students visited Dahlon- ega, Georgia in September, where they were igiven the chance to pan for gold and explore the surroundings on nature walks. They also visited the nation ' s capital in March, where they toured all of the important attractions of the city. This included the White Flouse, Lincoln Memorial, the Jefferson Memorial j and spent long hours touring the Smithson ian Institute. 1. John Sheffield and Stephen Faddock enjoy the rides at the space center in Huntsville. 2. Chuck Creen at- tempts to make friends with ; mule in Huntsville. Alabama. 3.

Previous Woodward sixth graders pose with Georgia Senator Sam Nunn in Washington, D.C. i) 11 1 V 20 TRIPS During Spring quarter. Woodward Academy art students have the oppor- tunity to exhibit their talents and skills. This special event, held in May, is Ex- perience the Arts Day, held on the steps and plaza of Richardson Hall. De- veloped by Mrs. Lane Fristoe, Visual Arts Department Chairman and other art department faculty, art students demonstrated various art forms includ- ing button-making, face-painting, sculpture, photography, painting, ce- ramics and jewelry design. Students watched designs in weaving and pot- tery develop as the artists exhibited their skills. The art department sold T- shirts with the 1983 Experience the Arts logo which had been designed by an art student. The Experience the Arts Day festival gave students the oppor- tunity to admire the talents of Wood- ward art students and were encour- aged to join in the fun. This celebration of art is Woodward ' s way of exhibiting the creativity and talents of a very se- lect group of students. 1. Keith Cilstrap uses wood and linoleum blocks as a method for printing pictures. 2. David Hen- derson explains his paintings to a fellow student. 3. Matt Fischman ' s sculpture began as a big block of plaster only to be revealed later in its final form. 4. For the art of face painting to be effec- tive, Carrie Marxmiiier must maintain a steady hand. 5. Glen Burgess, like other students, takes time to write a short message on the community drawing board. 6. Aionso Duralde helped with Experience the Arts Day by selling cookies. 7. Mrs. Lane Fristoe, department head of visual arts, looks on as students enjoy the day and ex- perience the arts. 5,- 1 IIS r i 22 EXPERIENCE THE ARTS EXPERIENCE THE ARTS 23 Sfc sJ i. ' r ' .. - Tt i onnuriicotion Under the sponsorship of English Department Chairman, Mrs. Bobby Al- ford, The Blade, the Upper School newspaper, continued its excellent coverage of Woodward Academy ' s events. The dedicated staff of writers, editors, artists and photographers pro- vided varied features on sports, student issues, musical groups and all other in- formation of concern to the Wood- ward community. Alonso Duralde, Sen- ior Editor, and The Blade staff pro- duced six issues of the newspaper, in- cluding the last issue being the Senior issue. Another means of communication, is Woodward ' s WATV. The only school with a closed-circuit television station, WATV is one of the major sources of information on campus. Each morning WATV presents a student written, pro- duced and directed show. Students write skits, interview celebrities, and film campus events. Then they edit all the available information, add special effects and sound and have it ready to go by 8:15 every school morning. An excellent learning opportunity, stu- dents are involved in every facet of television production. For students in- terested in a television career. Wood- ward provides another opportunity to get a head start. The Woodward Academy literary magazine, under the sponsorship of English Department members Mrs. Carolyn Haldeman and Mr. Kevin Har- key, represents the creative efforts of the Upper School student body. The title. Silent Voices, based on Tenny- son ' s poem, The Silent Voices speaks of one ' s attempt to rise from momen- tary fears and despair. The literary magazine provides an opportunity for students to express their inner thoughts and feelings through the use of poetry, songs, short stories, and art work. The 1984 Silent Voices was Woodward ' s first literary magazine to be entered in national competition. Long hours, determina- tion and dedication were the by-words of co-editors Ann Askew and Nancy Howard and the twenty-one member staff as they produced another excel- lent and creative magazine. The 1984 Phoenix staff lead by Advi- sor Susan Sentell, worked to produce a yearbook that covered all aspects of the school. There was a new addition to the Book — the use of second color in the introductory section. The yearbook is the largest public re- lations document of the Academy and unless one has been involved in the production of a yearbook, it is hard to understand the complexity of such work. Copy must be written and then rewritten, layouts must be designed and drawn, pictures chosen and cap- tions written. The staff began learning all these intracasies when they attend- ed summer camp at the University of Georgia. For the past two years. The Phoenix has proven to be an outstanding year- book. The 1982 Phoenix won the de- sign award for layout given by the Printing industries of America, the first for any high school yearbook in Geor- gia. The 1983 Phoenix is in competition and will prove to be another award winning book. The 1984 Phoenix, un- der the direction of Editor Debbie Newman and Assistant Editor Phenizee McElroy will continue the winning Woodward tradition.

Doss or 1994 I I I I Many times teachers are seen as those people who delight in giving lectures, tests and detentions. Stu- dents do not realize that Woodward Academy teachers have varied and in- teresting lives outside the classroom. Woodward has a distinct advantage in that several of its teachers have inter- ests that go Beyond the Black- board. Runners are one of the most familiar sights in College Park. Woodward can claim four very dedicated runners who are frequently seen running the streets of College Park. One of these runners is Cross Coun- try coach Errol Big E Sanders of the Upper School English Department. A veteran runner, Coach Sanders has been running for 13 years. Coach Sand- ers has run in several races including the College Park April Fool ' s Day Race, the Griffin 10K Run, the Peachtree Road Race where he finished in the top 10,000 runners and his signature race, the Maggie Valley 10K Moonlight Race. Another fast moving sight is Slim Jim Donovan, principal of the Middle School. Dr. Donovan is also a veteran of 13 years when he began running for medical reasons. One of Atlanta ' s few seeded runners. Dr. Donovan has com- peted in the Boston Marathon, the At- lanta Marathon and the Peachtree Road Race where he finished in the top 500 racers in the 1983 race. Staying with the pack is Dave the Rave Chandler, assistant principal of the Lower School. Mr. Chandler start- ed running when he found that run- ning helped him stay in shape for bas- ketball. Although Mr. Chandler runs as a hobby and not as a competitor, he has run in several local races including the College Park April Fool ' s Day Race and has competed in several Peachtree Road Races. Another hard-working Woodward runner is Ail Pro Al Wendt, principal of the Lower School. Like others who run, Mr. Wendt began to run as a means of staying in shape. Mr. Wendt has participated in several races includ- ing the Atlanta Marathon and the Peachtree Road Race. Someday he hopes to run in the Boston Marathon. Woodward math teacher, Mrs. Nan- cy Bunker is an avid soccer player. Mrs. Bunker plays on the Decatur DeKalb YWCA team and serves on the board of the DeKalb Soccer Association. She plays the halfback position and has played for three years. To Mrs. Bunker, the best thing about playing soccer is getting out into the fresh air and having fun with people who enjoy the same sport. Woodward ' s Tom Howick, a science teacher, is an avid scuba diver. Mr. Howick, who grew up in a beachside city, was curious about what was under the surface of the ocean. This curiosity sparked his interest in scuba diving. He belongs to several diving clubs and is noted for founding Atlanta Oceans. Mrs. Susan Patterson, a teacher in the kindergarten enjoys beekeeping as a hobby. Her father. Captain William R. Brewster, kept bees as a hobby so natu- rally Mrs. Patterson became interested as she assisted her father. Because of time and disance, Mrs. Patterson is only able to tend to her hives on JekyI Island four times a year. Kevin Harkey of the Upper School English Department serves his commu- nity in many ways. Not only is Mr. Har- key an instructor at Woodward Acade- my, but he is also an ordained minister. Because of his school involvement, he ministers on a part time basis. Mr. Har- key began preaching because he felt the need to serve both God and man and he felt God called upon him to take up this task. He receives his satisfaction from knowing that he is able to share his love of God and the eternal truth. Mrs. Arline Deacon, Upper School science teacher does not look like a construction worker, but in reality, she is! Mrs. Deacon has been personally contracting the building of her new home. She decided to attend the Geor- gia Institute for Home Builders to learn more about building her own home. The house, begun in May, 1983, and completed in November, 1983, re- quired a great deal of time. Regardless of the time, she received a great deal of satisfaction seeing her home built to her quality specifications. I ' ve always been a performer, stat- ed Ted Jones, Upper School History teacher, That ' s why I ' m a teacher. I ' ve got five captive audiences a day. Mr. Jones receives great satisfaction out of a good performance and he enjoys being able to work with others who are inter- ested in acting and learning about the total theatre environment. Since com- ing to Atlanta, Mr. Jones has performed in three plays, The Remers of El- dreith, The Alladin and The Con- gress Woman . Teachers After Hours ' ' 1. Both preacher as well as teacher, Mr. Har- key finds both professions rewarding. 2. Run- ning between the lines, the four horsemen trot the last mile. 3. An avid soccer player, Mrs. Bunker thoroughly enjoys the outdoors. 4. Mrs. Patterson finds beekeeping as easy as ABC. 5, While exploring the depths of the ocean, Mr. Howick encounters many strange creatures. 6. Mr. lones flies through the air with the greatest of ease. 7. Mrs. Deacon ' s diverse talents allow her to teach yet find time to contract her own house. CURRICULAR 29 Coun+rv Cousins An X r poHvif Pflir-I ' of 4iie FdMily Woodward ' s Country Cous- ins, The Busey School, is located away from the main campus in Ri- verdale, Georgia. Although apart from main campus, Busey is an im- portant part of the Woodward family. As a small school, Busey has the advantage of having a family at- mosphere within the school. Many of the students and faculty members live in the community immediately around the school. Because of its compact size, Busey is able to provide more individ- ualized attention for each stu- dent, continuing the Woodward tradition of excellence. This closeness also promotes friend- ships among students of all grades and age groups. Each Busey stu- dent has the opportunity to de- velop his own identity and plays an important role in the school ' s life. The Busey School has the same curriculum as the main campus Lower School, yet because of its location, Busey offers other unique learning experiences such as horseback riding lessons. Also its country atmosphere and peaceful surroundings help create Busey ' s serene environment. Although The Busey School is not located in College Park, Busey students are included in all the ac- tivities of the Academy. Busey stu- dents attend sporting events, plays, musicals and of course. Su- per Goober Day. Busey even has its own designated special night when the Busey faculty and stu- dents are warmly welcomed to the main campus. Even though Cousin Busey is located in the Country , it is still a very important and vital part of the Woodward family.

In these times to be completely literate, you must be computer literate. b Now in its second year, the Computer Science Department has met the goals it had planned for its second operational year. Due to the over- whelming response to the new department, a new computer lab was set up in the Lower School this year. Directed by Dr. Charles Hixon, the Up- per School Computer Department contains ap- proximately 36 computers of various brands and models. Computer Science is a mandatory re- quirement for completion of eighth grade, al- though Computer Science still remains an elec- tive in the Upper School. With the growing awareness and usage of the computer and its po- tential for the future, the Computer Science course at Woodward offers students a solid foun- dation in understanding and successfully using computer technology. 1. The Apple is one of the most popular home computers. 2. Mrs. Ann Askew instructs the Lower School children in the new Lower School computer lab. 3.

' . ' : ,., The Adventures of . , _, ; Huckleberry Finn ■ ' The English Department, chaired by Mrs. Bobby W. Alford, believes that the mastery of communi- cation skills — listening, reading, speaking and writing — develops through a correlated study of language, literature and composition. Instruction in the proper usage of English grammar begins in the third grade and continues through the ninth grade. In the Upper School, main emphasis is placed on the study of litera ture and composition. Because the discipline of composition provides the student with the opportunity for organizing thought and expressing it effectively in writing, every class is geared to develop and refine English skills. As the Woodward student completes his senior year, he will have a mastery of all verbal and written communication skills. 1. All 10th graders study The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn winter quarter. 2. To write a term paper, Heather Huber spends long research hours in the library. 3. Lauren Rawlins is captivated by the suspense in her book. 4. Mrs. Cleo Hudson listens as a student gives his version of Chaucer ' s, The Miller ' s Tale. 5. Most Seniors like Chip Ezell and Nancy LeBey find their last year of English to be their longest. 6. Mr. Kevin Harkey sadly learns that many Juniors did not do their summer reading. 7. Mrs. Bobby Alford ' s composition class writes sev- eral themes a quarter. 62 ENCLISH Fine A RTS ' Deep from within our fiery existence comes the musical essence of man. Art is that in which the hand, the head and the heart go together. John Ruskin In addition to providing a strong academic background for students. Woodward Academy gives students wide exposure to the fine arts: visu- al and performing. The Visual Arts Department, headed by Mrs. Lane Fristoe, strives to gives stu- dents exposure to and experience in drawing, painting, fabric design, jewelry design, printmak- ing, ceramics, photography and television pro- duction. The Performing Arts Department, chaired by Mr. Alan McClung, provides an oppor- tunity to participate in various activities where students can display their talents in choral, band, dance and theater groups. By understanding and striving to meet the needs of each student, the Woodward Fine Arts Department is a stepping stone to the expanding visual and performing me- dias of the future. 1.

' ' To learn a foreign language is to discover, at the same time, a country, a history, a civilisation. With English as the native language, the Foreign Language Department, headed by Mrs. Jean Ol- stin, strives to expose students to a wide variety of foreign languages. The department not only pro- vides instruction in formal language communica- tion skills, but also places special emphasis on the cultures of the countries where the languages are spoken, in order to graduate, students must com- plete two years of French, Latin, German, or Span- ish. For students who enjoy and excell in a lan- guage, upper level courses are available in French and Spanish. The Foreign language curriculum permits students to expand their knowledge and usage of the languages of the world. 1. To properly learn a foreign language a student must concen- trate. 2. Kevin Brumlow has found that Spanish requires a great deal of verbal repetition. 3. Even a French essay requires careful researcltas Susan Kim has discovered. 4. Miss Richard- son gives detailed directions for a difficult Spanish test. 5. Mrs. Olstin allows only French to be spoken in class. 6. Mrs. Olstin ' s French class watches as she shows the difference between feminine and masculine gender of nouns. 7. Mrs. O ' Neill listens as a student conjugates a verb in Spanish. 66 FOREIGN LANGUAGE FOREIGN LANGUACE 67 M ATHEMATICS Mathematics is a creation of the human mind concerned primarily with ideas, processes, and reasoning. Mathematics encompasses the language of symbols and relations: the study of shape. size and space; the study of change, limits and infinity. Mathematics is an essential element for success in the world. The Woodward Academy Math- ematics Department, directed by Mrs. Mary H. Walker, instructs students to recognize and suc- cessfully complete various computations. There are many courses offered by the department with Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Algebra II and Geometry being the core curriculum courses. Additional courses available for interested and qualified stu- dents include Advanced Algebra, Finite and Dis- crete Math, Pre-Calculus and Calculus. The de- partment seeks to stimulate a curiosity into math- ematics so that the student will enjoy exploring new ideas, learning mathematics and is motivated to continue this learning. 1. The two major loois of mathematics — a pencil and a calculator. 2. Jeff Wood works his math problem with the aid of a calculator and an eraser. 3. Many times Mr. Paul Myers will design on the computer math problems to be worked by his math team. 4. Mrs. Sandy Adamek shows her students that fractions are not as difficult as they seem. 5. Mr. Jeff Floyd uses his chalk to place emphasis on the concept he is explaining. 6. In tutorial, valuable extra help is given to Maria Brown and Stacy Feldmar by Mrs. Mary Walker, department chairman. 7. Renowed for his explanations that make word problems easy, Mr. Steve Reed takes his class slowly through a problem. 68 MATHEMATICS !J« C3P ' MATHEMATICS 69 CIENCE ' Teaching science, and more importantly, learning science, requires of teachers and students that application of mind that P.W. Bridgman described as ' ' using one ' s mind, no holds barred. ' From the laboratory to the library, through classroom discussion, to work at home, success at science requires the best of one ' s thought. The advances of science and scientific research have afforded the student the opportunity to tru- ly study the world around him. The Woodward Academy Science Department, directed by Mr. Gus Dearolph, gives students an opportunity to develop their investigative skills and think ratio- nally through the use of experimentation. Begin- ning in Kindergarten, simple science skills are in- troduced and enhanced as the student progresses through each grade level. The core curriculum of the Upper School requires students to take a year of biology and a year of chemistry in addition to one year of either physics, anatomy and physiol- ogy, earth and space science or oceanography. By providing students with such a wide range of con- cepts to consider, the department enables stu- dents to form strong scientific awareness of them- selves and their environment. 1. Science is the study of all the experiences of the world. 2. To successfully understand the complexities of physics, Adam Gibson must take extensive notes. 3. Oceanography requires that students be proficient in correctly reading navigation charts and maps. 4. Miss Laura Babcock explains a complicated Physics question. 5. In order to comprehend a pre-chemistry concept, Tonya Williams asks Mrs. Gibson to clarify a point. 6. One of the South ' s foremost physicists, department chairman Gus Dearolph ponders the question of Chris Smith, David Malizia and Jeff Linch. 7. Walter Ernest concentrates on a difficult test question. iisics . OCIAL STUDIES ' History is a glimpse of times and ages gone by, providing information so that the generations of the future may learn from the events of the past. ' Everything that happens becomes history and is relevant to the understanding of society. The Woodward Academy Social Studies Department, headed by Mr. Bill Lineberry, provides students w ith the opportunity to study past events and to discuss history as it is presently being made. In the Low er and Middle Schools, students are given a basic understanding of peoples and their soci- eties. The Upper School provides students with an in-depth study of political and social history in the core curriculum courses of Modern European and American History. Social Studies electives in- clude Business Law, Economics, Psychology, and Accounting. The Social Studies Department strives to provide the student with a background with which to understand the forces which mold the modern world. T. One of the most exciting classes at Woodward is Mr. Walter Monti ' s Law course. 2. Fran Tyler, Richie Tyler, and Mike Mason watch as students prepare to try a case in Mr. Monti ' s Law class. 3. Stephanie Lea, Kari Arnson, Erin Brody, and Courtland Atkins study American government in the Lower School. 4. In Mr. Bill Lineberry ' s class, students learn the impact of political movements on American history. 5. Jeff O ' Hara uses a map as resource material as he writes a theme on American westward expansion. 6. In European History, Stacey Ficzko studies the dawn of the history of man. 7. Mr. Doug Fleming and Keith Cilstrap work together answering ques- tions concening the Embargo Act. 72 SOCIAL STUDIES SOCIAL STUDIES 73 NDIVIDUALIZED OTUDY PROGRAM ' To the questions of your life, you are the only answer. To the problems of your life, you are the only solution. The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it. ' I A unique facet of Woodward Academy ' s aca- demic program offerings is the Individualized Study Program, directed by Mrs. Selma Ridgway. The program is implemented in all three schools and gives certain students specific and special aca- demic attention. The Lower School classes are very small and select which enables teachers to place a special and concentrated emphasis on phonetics, reading and mathematical skills. The Middle School classes, also small, center on strengthening the student ' s learned skills of orga- nization and note-taking. The Upper School ISP classes focus on completely remediating the stu- dent ' s learning disabilities which enable students to attend regular classes by their junior year. The ISP program is recognized as one of the foremost in the nation and continues to emphasize the ex- cellence of the opportunities offered at Wood- ward. 1. In ISP Support, Miss Belsy Box spends many hours providing extra help. 2. Freshman Scott Curry learns that writing a theme will be much easier if he first makes out an outline. 3. Mrs. Susan Sanders answers a question Percy Stock had concerning a period of American History. 74 INDIVIDUALIZFD STUDY PROGRAM hysical tducation Lite produces endless competitions that demand the supreme physical effort. If you can set your heart upon the goal, not on the prize, and are motivated and willing to struggle, sweat and strive. you can succeed and win at all you attempt. This is the challenge, the pain — the joy of being ?i « ;. 3;sv:v The Physical Education Department, directed by Coach Johnny Stallings, aims to give all stu- dents a chance to participate in various physical activities. All students are required to take P.E. courses throughout their years at the Academy. They may become involved in the intramural sports that are coordinated throughout the Acad- emy or participate in the structured program of P.E. classes. The department aims at all times to give each student a chance to participate in var- ious physical activities which not only aid in the physical development of a student, but also allows him to perfect his talents in physical endeavors. The department also teaches the student to ap- preciate the efforts required for team and individ- ual sports and the necessary quality of good sportsmanship. By providing an outlet for physical aggression, the department helps students devel- op mental capabilities as well as physical aware- ness. 1. Because physical education is a required course, Billy McCarroll decided to take his P.E. classes his freshman year. 2. Coach johnny Stallings explains exactly how he wants his P.E. class to run laps. 3. Intramurals at The Busey School involve ail kinds of activities and all kinds of students.

Striving to better last year ' s performance, the senior Class of 1984 flew to victory with their float, The Eagle of 1984. The production of the winning float was a long, hard and complicated process. The eagle itself required a group effort to put it together. The float not only proved to be challenging, but gave seniors a chance to be together in a group activity that would represent the whole class. Great memories of the time spent working on the float will always be recalled — memories such as driving the float down Main Street in College Park at 5 miles per hour, hoping it wouldn ' t blow off the back of the truck, or what about money? . . . who has a power saw.

The 1984 Senior Class Pays Tribute To Mr. David Ron McCollum Each year the Senior Class selects the faculty or staff member who has contributed the most to the Senior Class. The members of the Class of 1984 selected Mr. David Ron McCollum to receive the Senior Tribute. Chaplain McCol- lum has been at Woodward Academy since 1979, serving as an Upper School Counselor as well as Chaplain for the entire Academy. Chaplain McCollum has played a significant role in the growth and maturity of the Senior Class, not only as a teacher and counselor, but also as a friend, spending an extensive amount of time with each of the 171 seniors. The Class of 1984 will always remember Rev. McCoUum ' s meet- ings to discuss college plans, his advice on what was cool and uncool , and the celebration with the seniors after winning the spirit stick at the pep rally. Most importantly, the seniors will remember Rev. McCollum as someone who cared, listened, and encouraged, making the Class of 1984 the best they could be. In response to his devotion and care, the Class of 1984 proudly expresses its love and gratitude to Chaplain Ron McCollum — the 1984 Senior Tribute. 96 SKNKW TRIBUTE J 1 i r Eleventh Grade Ceci Aaron Troy Abies Freddy Achecar Brooke Adamek Ted Amy Mitch Applebaum Chris Bailey Jordon Bales Beverly Banks Wayne Barber Steve Barton William Baum Tammy Behrens Leanne Berry Lori Black Andrew Blake Otis Blake Brent Boston Paul Brady Scott Bridges Mark Boooks 1.

O cy i A ' d . . . The 1983 Homecoming Weekend proved to be an event full of excite- ment. Four weeks in advance, the four classes in the Upper School began pre- paring their Homecoming floats. On the Thursday night before Homecom- ing, each class assembled their floats near the front gate. Stude nts then par- ticipated in a spirit-rallying bon fire held on the baseball field. On Friday, the Founder ' s Day Convocation was held, followed by the Varsity Football game against Troup County. During the pre-game show it was announced that the Seniors captured the trophy for the float contest with their Bury the Tigers theme. At halftime, repre- sentatives from each class were escort- ed onto the field to participate in the crowning of the Homecoming queen. The girls were dressed in costumes representing those dresses that were popular at Georgia Military Academy homecomings. The 1983 Homecom- ing Queen was Missy Brantley and the Maid of Honor was Jennie Oliver. The War Eagles went on to shut out Troup County 29-0 and gained first place in Region 3-AAA competition. 1 1983 Homecoming Court and escorts 2. Ju nior Class Homecoming Float, 3.

In the same location for 84 years, Chez Young has delighted epicurean palates with creative- ly prepared meals. Always an artist in the kitchen, the Chez Young is well known for certain specialities that keep those familiar with his skills returning daily to partake of his feasts. The Chez Young is reknowed for dishes such as the mouth watering date-nut bars, fine assorted breads, spaghetti, lightly seasoned with just a pinch of garlic, and a beautifully appointed salad bar. The Chez Young is open seven days a week, serving break- fast and luncheon. However, the greatest glory of the Chez Young is expressed at dinner when he serves a smaller, select crowd of food connoisseurs. The Chez Young is available for banquet services and the main feature of each gathering is his ice sculpture surrounded by delecta- ble seafood. Always popular and always crowded, the Chez Young will remain a beloved memory of those fortunate enough to spend time in a very special place in College Park. r ' 168 CHEZ YOUNG 1 Lower School students receive a nourishing cafeteria helper Barbara 2 Food Service Director Fred Younghas ided excellent meal service for over thirty years 3, Buffet tables, laden with a variety of foods and decorated with ice carvings ha a favorite at Academy banquets 4.

Music was provided by The Surf, a local band, who kept prom go- ers dancing until midnight. Then Juniors, John Moss and Dodd Davis, were the MC ' s for the tra- ditional senior walk. At this oc- casion, Woodward seniors and their escorts are introduced by couple, with each girl being pre- sented with a long-stemmed rose. The Junior Senior Prom is always an anticipated event which begins the Seniors final week as students of Woodward Academy. The Class of 1983 graduated 170 seniors on May 21, 1983. Twenty-two of these seniors had been at Woodward Academy since first grade and each received the Ferguson Award. The Seniors of 1983 were lead by Steve McCune, Valedictorian and recipient of the Graham Award and the Journal Cup. Julie Anne Probert, Salutor- ian. was awarded the Master Stu- dent Award. In addition to the above awards, there were 14 other awards given to select members of the Senior Class. The awards were for academic, athletic, artistic, citi- zenship and religious abilities. The Class of 1983 served as proud ex- ample of the accomplishments of Woodward Academy students. RADUATION BOARDING I am not scheduled for monitor during this time.

Resident students represent many states and for- eign nations and their life-styles tend to be somewhat different from the average day student. The Resident program saw many changes this year especially with the appointment of Mr. Howard Janke as Director of Resident Life. Woodward Hall dorm rooms were refurbished nd Weltner Evans courtyard was re-lands- caped. Many weekend activities were planned by Mr. Janke and the dorm par- ents. Their activities included trips to Stone Mountain, the Atlanta Greek Festi- val. Octoberfest in Helen and Woodward sports events which took place off cam- pus. The Resident life is made up of per- mits, study hours, signing in for breakfast, lights-out and messy rooms. It is a differ- ent existence from that of the 8 to 3 students, but it is a tradition fondly car- ried on by students willing to accept re- sponsibility for their own actions and dai- ly lives. BOARDERS 173 One of the highlights of fall quarter was 50 ' s Day Originally, 50 ' s Day was planned as a theme for a pep rally, but as the idea spread, students and faculty planned to participate. Everyone cam? dressed in their version of everyday 50 ' s wearing apparel, most of which had to be dug out ' of the backs of closets. The day was highlighted by a spirited pep rally reminiscent of 1955. The proceeds of the day went to the student activities fund which is used to help finance homecoming floats, buy special equf - ment for cheerleaders and pay for ' Student dartces held during the year. 176 SPORTS . mm WOODWARD VKAMEACi-ES GO S. SPORTS 177 FOOTRAI .1 ■ Woodward 14, Westminster 7 In the 1983 opener, the Woodward Acad- emy War Eagles met the Westminster Wild- cats in their yearly matchup. Attempting to avenge their loss last season, the War Eagles played extremely well, showing signs of a promising season. The War Eagle defense held the Wilcat offense to very few yards, allowing the offense to take advantage of Westminster mistakes. Woodward 21, Marist 31 The annual matchup between the Wood- ward War Eagles and the Marist War Eagles was a well fought battle; however. Wood- ward fell to a bigger, more experienced team. Jesse Spears got Woodward on the board by making a long 55 yard run late in the first half, making the score 21-7. Wood- ward pulled closer to 21-13 only to have fumbles cause the offensive attack to fall apart. The Woodward War Eagles closed the game with a valiant three yard touch- down run by Jimmy Witherspoon in the last 23 seconds of the game. Woodward 7, Fulton 12 The War Eagles met the Fulton Red Birds at Colquitt Stadium in hopes of avenging their loss last year. Fulton was able to capita- lize on Woodward ' s mistakes and take a 12- lead until late in the fourth quarter. At this point the War Eagles gained momentum when Ricky Lane scored from 2 yards out. Woodward recovered an on-side kick giving them good field position. The War Eagles drove to the 6 yard line where Fulton tight- ened up and Woodward ' s hopes of a come- back win were foiled. Woodward 14, George 7 Jumping to a 7-0 lead in the first quarter, George obtained the only points that the Woodward defense would yield. An inter- cepted pass by Jesse Spears late in the fourth quarter enabled the War Eagles to take the lead that would never change. Jim- my Witherspoon continued his roll by again adding many yards to Woodward ' s total of- fense. All good things must come to an end, and our team was definitely a good thing. Will Jones 178 VARSlTY FOOTBALL Woodward 7, Lovett 10 Woodward Academy fell 2-3 on the sea- son by losing to the Lovett Lions 10-7 in the last non-region game of the year. Costly fumbles and turnovers enabled the Lions to take a 10-0 lead at the half. The War Eagles once again retaliated late in the game only to be stopped 15 yards shy of victory. Woodward 14, Harris Co. 7 In Woodward Academy ' s 4-AAA West opener, Woodward defeated Harris County 14 to 7 in a hotly contested battle. Jim Witherspoon scored on a pass from Quarter- back Will Jones early in the second quarter to give the War Eagles a 7-0 halftime lead. Midway through the fourth period Chris Turner returned a punt 65 yards for the touchdown to secure the win. 1 Before the game Coach Hixon gives some last minute instructions. 2 FRONT ROW: Coach Hixon.

The War Eagles were, however, able to capitalize on the Cougar ' s mistakes. The defense continued to hold back the Collins offense attack. Jim- my Witherspoon continued to run excep- tionally well, tightening the strong hold of Woodward ' s offensive effort. Woodward 12, Mcintosh 16 After the defiant victory the week before, the War Eagles took the field confident of victory. The defense and offense worked together as one unit against the Mcintosh Chiefs. The War Eagles turned the Chiefs back from the one yard line with outstanding defensive efforts of Jeff Miller, Will Jones and Chip Ezell. The offense was able to score in critical times by excellent blocking from offensive stronghold Chip Ezell and Cliff Daniels. Jimmy Witherspoon and Chris Turner both had interceptions in the victory. Woodward 28, Troup In the deciding game of the 4-AAA South division, the War Eagles soundly defeated the Troup Tigers before an excited Home- coming crowd. Three interceptions by Jeff Miller enabled the offense to score points. Clinching the sub-region, the War Eagles would now look toward Woodland and the playoffs in hopes of their goal to be state champions. Woodward 21, Woodland 14 In the last regular season game, the War Eagles faced the Woodland Warriors in preparation for the next week ' s playoff game. The Warriors came well prepared with a very effective rushing attack. They combined the pass with the run to find holes in the Warriors defense. However in the end, defensive efforts of Jeff Miller as well as Will Jones combined to shut down the Warriors. Ricky Lane had a great night run- ning the ball and accounted for many of Woodward ' s total yards. Jesse Spears had runs of 63 yards and 20 yards adding to the total offensive efforts. 180 VARSITY FOOTBALL VARSITY FOOTBALL 181 F OOTBALL Woodward 41, Stockbridge In the first round of the playoffs, the War Eagles faced Stockbridge in what was sight- ed to be a close game. The War Eagles, however, had different ideas about the out- come. The defense continued to shut down all offensive drives of Stockbridge and soundly defeated them 41-0. Woodward ' s best offensive game yet enabled the War Eagles to advance to the region finals. Woodward 10, Lithonia After destroying Stockbridge, the War Ea- gles faced the Lithonia Bulldogs. The de- fense demonstrated power by allowing Lith- onia less than 10 yards . During the whole first half neither team was able to score. A field goal by Brian Witkofsky late in the game, clinched the region championship for the second year in a row. Woodward 10, Glen Hills 14 Closer to state but not able to reach it, the Woodward War Eagles fell short of their goal, losing to the Glenn Hills Spartans. The game was an offensive and defensive battle with neither team gaining an edge over the other. All through the game, the War Eagles came close to scoring another touchdown. With time running out, they were not able to penetrate the goal line for victory. 1. Looking toward the sideline, Jeff Miller gets the signal for the next defensive play, 2.

This successful season included a second place finish in the prestigious War Eagle Invita- tional and third place team titles in the South Metro and Area 3-AAA tournaments. The grapplers only losses were to the number one and two ranked state AAA teams — Troup and Fitzgerald, respectively. The War Eagles were led by seniors Chuck Martino (28-1), Mark Linder (25-0), and Brian Russo (14-10); juniors Jeff Miller (22-3), Lee Miles (13-7) and Chris Smith (8- 6); sophomores Cliff Daniel (22-8), William Woodall (12-9-1) and Sean Knight (10-10-1), and freshmen Todd Browning (11-10) and Mike Shenk (6-6). Martino and Linder were crowned South Metero, War Eagle Invita- tional and Area 3-AAA champions, while Miller was Area 3-AAA champion and run- ner-up at the South Metro and War Eagle Invitational. Cliff Daniel placed second in the Area 3-AAA and War Eagle Invitational, and joined Lee Miles as a fourth place finisher at the South Metro tournament. Todd Brown- ing placed fourth at Area 3-AAA and quali- fied for state along with Martino, Miller, Linder, Daniel and Miles. Chuck Martino was injured in practice pri- or to the state tournament and had to with- draw. The loss of this potential state champi- on and upset defeats against Area 3-AAA champions Mark Linder and Jeff Miller pre- vented the grapplers from placing at this year ' s state meet.

An audi- tioned group of 100 singers in grades nine through twelve, the Festival Chorale was formed for the purpose of making and learn- ing about music. Because of the excellence of their abilities, the Chorale was selected to perform for the Southern division of The American Chorale Directors Association. The highlight of the Christmas season was the group ' s acclaimed performance of Men- otti ' s operetta, Amahl and the Night Visi- tors. The Chorale begins their year with a working retreat. This year at the retreat the Chorale was presented with new robes and st oles. The Chorale also participated in Dis- trict Choral Festival, Spring Tour and the Spring Concert. The Chorale was adminis- tered by a Chorale Council headed by Presi- dent Jeff Spratlin and Vice Presidents Jay Tedder and Jeff Higgins. Festival Singers Directed by Mr. Alan McClung, the Festi- val Singers performed music from various eras. This auditioned group was made up of 31 advanced musicians in grades ten through twelve, and performed music on a more difficult level than the schools other choral groups. 1 FESTIVAL CHORALE: FIRST ROW - Amy Wendt.

Amahl And The Night Visitors Three-Act and Christinas operetta This year ' s Three Act Play, Ah Wilder- ness!, directed by Scott Perkins, was a pro- duction of Eugene O ' Neil ' s comedy of home and family life set in 1906 Connecticut, with a sympathetic look towards the follies of mankind. Members of the cast included Da- vid Epps as Nat Miller, Mary Smith as the Mother, Essie Miller, Arthur was played by sophomore Tim Holt, the character Richard was portrayed by Greg Kaiser. For the first time, the Woodward Acade- my Performing Arts Department presented Menotti ' s Christmas operetta, Amahl and the Night Visitors. To begin the evening, the concert band and the string ensemble per- formed, followed by intermission in which small choral groups which sang Christmas carols in the gallery as the audience drank hot wassail. The part of Amahl was played by eighth grader Wayne Bunker and Senior Marie Dalton as a dual role. The roles of the three kings and the page were played by Jay Tedder, Jeff Higgins. Randy Geohagan and Kevin Brumlow. Zanice Muckler, a private voice instructor and parent at Woodward Academy, played the part of Amahl ' s moth- er. Members of the dance ensemble also performed as village people. The perfor- mance of the operetta this year served as a fitting opening of the Christmas season for students, faculty and parents. 1 David Epps as Nat Miiier explains his ideas to his wife Essie Miller 2 Mary Smith and Ted Challenger make some last minute preparations before the play begins 3 Members of the cast of Ah Wilderness. gather around the dinner table 4 Wayne Bunker as Amahl describes his day to his mother, played by Zan- ice Muckler. 5, The kings and their page spent the night at Amahl ' s house while on their journey following the Star 6 Amahl hesitantly goes to bed after a scold ing from his mother 7 Nat Miller lounges in his living room 8 Ah WlldernessI focused on the life of a family in 1906 Conneticut 2fa2 DRAMA A Thurber Carnival Godspell A Thurber Carnival The Theater Division of the Woodward Academy Department of Performing Arts won statewide acclaim and praise during the 1983-1984 school year. Thurber Carnival, Woodward ' s entry in the Region 4AAA One-Act Play competition, won first place honors above ten other regional contestants. The Best Actor and Actress awards for Re- gion 4AAA also went to Thurber cast members Harrison Long and Lisa Shatterly. Under the direction of Linda P. Wise, the Thurber Carnival cast (Harrison Long, Ron Bertram, Chris Dietrich, Stacey Holt, Lisa Shatterly, Tina Garuin, Christine Burrell, and Karyn Gimbel) adapted the full length play for a compact thirty-five minute perfor- mance for competition purposes. Through the improvisational acting method, the com- pany developed its own creative movement, characterization, and choreography shaping the familiar James Thurber short stories into a unique and exciting piece of ensemble the- ater. In January of 1984, the Thurber group traveled to Americus to compete in the State AAA finals and proudly brought home to Woodward Academy the State Championship trophy. Godspell The 1984 musical cast of Godspell de- lighted its audience in a lively celebration of the Gospel as told in St. Matthew. The famil- iar parables and teachings of Jesus were told with humor, love, and delight by the cast of clowns in improvised costumes. Many the- atrical devices such as pantomime, chil- dren ' s role playing games, charades, pup- pets and varied dance styles were used to share the Biblical stories with the simplicity and exuberance of children. Because the en- tire cast remained on stage for the full show and since all the scenes, characters, and transitions were developed by the cast through creative improvisation, Godspell would have been a challenge for the most advanced theater troupe. The Woodward Academy Godspell cast also under the direc- tion of Linda P. Wise, shared with its audi- ence through laughter and tears the love, respect, joy, and sacrifice which must be in the heart of each man in order to release his spirit into the larger heart of mankind. Through wonderful songs and jubilant an- tics, the Godspell cast and audience joined together to sing about love. 1 The cast of Godspell perform one of the many stirring musical compositions of the show. 2. Stacey Holt played the lead in the Academy musical Godspell. 3. Lisa Shatterly takes on the characterization of a bearskin rug in A Thurber Carnival 4.

Woodward Academy Parents Club 1983 84 316 ADS John Charles Ferguson November 20, 1966 To December 14, 1983 Life and death are not tangible objects. We are here one minute and gone the next. While we are alive, life seems like an eternity. Yet, when death occurs, life becomes a minute piece of that eternity. One never knows the hold another has over him until it is too late. That a certain person will always be there seems inevitable, especially when that person has not even begun to live his life. John Ferguson died on December 14, 1983, a victim of an automobile accident. The sorrow among the students and faculty could be felt everywhere. John ' s death was not fair, but whoever said life was fair? John ' s memory remained constant in our minds and hearts on that December day. John Ferguson was an outstanding student and athlete who served as a vital part of the Academy. We can remember his smile and the day he came to school with a shaved head. And now, we must remember John as a part of us who has gone, even though his memory still remains. BLACKFORD HOMES 6095 Lake Forrest Dr. N.W.

In 1971 a grateful senior class, in dedicating the yearbook to him, stressed an even greater role which he has consistently played: a friend. Following his discharge from the Navy, Mr. Ballentine obtained an ABJ from the University of Georgia and continued gra- duate study at UGA, Emory and Jackson- ville University. Mr. Ballentine was responsi- ble for the introduction and development of Woodward ' s successful AP Program in Eng- lish. Former students associate Captain Ballentine with an inveterate attraction to a certain white whale and his love for that monumental work — Moby Dick: an unsur- passed ability to deliver interesting class lec- tures; the regularity with which his debate teams won state tournaments; and the ex- pertise which he contributed during the years that he served as yearbook advisor. The Ballentine affinity for the white whale and his enthusiasm for excellence in teaching remain undiminished. Fueled, one is almost certain, by the ever-present cup of black coffee. Mr. Ballentine has brought an old- fashioned devotion to each of his positions at the academy. It is to all of these qualities that the 1984 PHOENIX proudly and grate- fully pays tribute to Captain Bob Ballen- tine. (Reprinted in part from The Academy In Review) Quiet, with an underlying Irish twinkle; cooperative, without words but with intense loyalty; thoughtful, but never reticent in good judgement; One superlative cannot say it all. Captain Bob will be missed by all As Tevye said to Golde After twenty- five years its nice to know. We love you — Dr. Gary M. Jones A master teacher with a flare for literature person oriented in decision making for twenty-five years of transition and change in the life of our school, Mr. B has stood like a rock of calm and positive influ- ence toward lasting policy and procedure. His loyalty and dedication is unequal and we can truly say he has always provided Every opportunity for every student. - Don A. Woolf Although former students and present colleagues invariably associate you, Cap- tain Ballentine, with an inveterate attrac- tion to a certain white whale, you once told me, in a moment of reflection, that perhaps the work of literature which you have most enjoyed reading and teaching is Paradise Lost. With no apology to Milton, may I say. Dear Friend, that by pursuing boldly and successfully things (previously) unattempt- ed in the programs and progress of GMA- Woodward, you have been able to bring forth infinite goodness to both stu- dents and staff of the Academy. Some nat- ural tears (we) dropp ' d at news of your retirement, knowing full well that Day and Night, Seed-time and Harvest, Heat and Hoary Frost Shall hold their course before we see your like again. - Bobby W. Alford An interesting metaphor for human rela- tionships occurs in Chapter 72 of Moby Dick, my least favorite classic until Bob Bal- lentine taught me to appreciate its power and magnitude. In this chapter, entitled The Monkey-Rope , Queequeg, the har- pooneer, dangles over the side of the ship as he strips the dead whale of its blubber. Around his waist is a rope which is attached at the other end to the waist of Ishmael. The welfare of each man depends upon the faith- fulness and vigilance of the other. As Bob finds his own well-deserved insular Tahiti, those of us left aboard ship are humbly grateful to have been tied to his monkey- rope. — Carolyn Haldeman Compassionate supportive un- derstanding personal concern for my well being easy to talk with A true friend — not just my boss. I ' ll truly miss Bob — he ' s like a second right hand to me. — Mary Walker Robert D. Ballentine retires in 1984 after 25 years of imparting in liberal doses liberal education to thousands of students and scores of teachers. Yes, his intellect is a clear cold, logic engine which is daunted and inspired English students as well as nov- ice debaters. Certainly, his mind is stored with a knowledge of the great and funda- mental truths of the universe — How could it be otherwise for a man who has traveled and traveled countless times in the splendid passages of Paradise Lost and the beloved Moby Dick. But the essence of the man and the imperative under which, I believe, he has lived his life, under which he has sought to educate liberally (abhors a split infinitive) his fortunate charges, and under which he has related to students and colleagues alike is, stated simply, to be kind always. Patience piled on patience and a benign smile, when others would be justified in their railing — these are the graces of the man. Mr. Ballen- tine, Captain Ballentine if you prefer, has always been the servant of a tender con- science. _ lee Vincent In a day when it ' s hard to find heroes and perhpas even harder to keep them, I ' m glad to say I ' ve got one. All too often, it seems to me, those whom we put on a pedestal end up having some major flaws which ultimately cause us to lose respect for them. Bob Bal- lentine, however, is a notable exception as he has maintained hero status with me for more than ten years. Certainly, just as we all do, Mr. Ballentine has a few imperfections; he invariably keeps his office too hot; his articles for the parents ' club newsletter are usually a day or so late; and, frankly, he smokes too much. The key word with Bob, however, is few; the Good Captain has pre- cious eiv imperfections. Furthermore, I sus- pect that Mr. B. displays those minor vices out of a form of graciousness to allow the rest of us to feel less inferior by comparison. Both as a teacher and later as a colleague, I ' ve come to appreciate the amiable nature and scholarly abilities of Captain Bob Ballen- tine, one of the South ' s true gentlemen, - R.L. Slider Some years ago — never mind how long — I met a man in love with whales and students and things — but ideas mainly. For- tunate students knew well this mariner — I never sailed his course — only a lubber in his mind. Now while I luff — he reefs — his mark recorded. Gus Dearolph 1984 PHOENIX 1 ' % Deborah A.

As editor of the 1984 Phoenix, I, as well as others, have sacrificed many days, weeks and months to produce this Book. Needless to say, all that we experienced — long hours, endless nights, fatigue, depression and what seemed to be an inconceivable goal — became irrelevant when the first box of yearbooks was opened. Seeing, for the first time, the object that has been an integral part of your life for the past ten months is indescribable. That moment, one brief second, cancels every scream and every tear which stemmed from the frustration of producing this year- book. Afterwards, three words, It looks good, makes the time we have spent on this Book priceless. Being editor of a book such as the 1984 Phoenix has, by all means, proven to be a challenge. Many of my day- dreams and nightmares have revolved around this Book. There were times when I wondered if it was really worth it. An editor ' s job consists of 90% emo- tion and 10% skill. Through the pages of this Book you can see the 10% skill; what you cannot see is what it took to get it there. I have been very happy, very angry, very frustrated and most importantly very determined. My sen- ior quote states, Success is not mea- sured by heights attained, but by obsta- cles overcome. I have faced many ob- stacles this year — some were easily overcome, yet others took everything I had to overcome. Through it all I have had my determination; without it 1 would have never made it. Then, I go back to the question, Was it really worth it? YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT!! The production of this Book has in- cluded many, many contributions from various people, some of which are ob- vious, and some of which are less obvi- ous; yet, each contribution from each person has played an important part in creating the Book you see before you. First and foremost, I would like to thank Susan Sanders, my advisor, and Phen McElroy, my assistant editor, for their help and dedication. Without them, the Book would have never gotten fin- ished. To Susan, thanks for believing in me; to Phen, thanks for the support. To Sandra Pounds, I would like to say thanks for everything — your ideas, and most of all, the time you gave up for the Book. To Marshall Eubanks, thank you; your expertise and encour- agement made my job worthwhile. To my parents, thanks for understanding why I spent so much time in the year- book room. To Bev Buhl and Sheila Childers, thanks for listening; I don ' t know what I would have done without you. To Lisa McDonough, thank you for caring so much; I tried to make the most of it! To Jeff Wood, Scott Shaffer, Pam Coleson, Jeff Higgins, Anna Mathis, Walter Ernest, Dixon Soracco and Scott Ward, thanks for the help. To everyone who encouraged me, I say thank you; you gave me hope when everything began to seem hopeless. I hope you enjoy the Book. 348 PHOENlX ]OSTENt
