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 .
