At that time the first log school was known as Temple Hill, Later this was torn down and replaced by a two-story brick building with four large classrooms, one of which had a large stage for plays and speeches, and a large halL This was named Temple Hill High SchooL On January 24, 1948, a fire destroyed Temple Hill High SchooL The remainder of that high school year was finished at Lebanon High SchooL The grades were scattered in the church and the lodge halL With the inspiring natural beauty of Russell County, no better site could have been chosen for our new school than its present location. For this reason, we can especially appreciate the foresight of those older than we. Let us remem- ber that the tax- paying citizens has financially en- abled our school to prosper and expand. Now it is for us to appreciate and to become a part of our great heritage. The past remains a part of us and for the wise the past forms a foundation and a center for the new thoughts and associations which we form. Doubts and questions will arise- but remember that only where questions and doubts arise can learning and intellectual advancement take place. 1963 1923 CONTENTS Introduction 1 Administration 15 Classes 35 Features 67 Activities 85 Sports ]05 Advertisements 115 MAY - 1923 S M T W T F S 12 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 n 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 FORTY YEARS ♦ ♦ ♦ MAY - 1963 s M T W T F S 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 1 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 OB . . . OF PROGRESS AT CASTLEWOOD HIGH The name Castlewood High School was chosen for the new, modern brick building erected in 1949. Being fully accredited and with an enrollment of 670 students, Castle- wood High School is one of the finest schools in Southwest Virginia, There are twenty-seven teachers and one full-time guidance teacher in the high school and nineteen teachers in the elementary school. Thirteen buses transport the students to and from school. The high school and the ele- mentary school have separate cafeterias. The auditorium which was added in 1960 and with a seating capacity of 862 adds much to our enjoyment and appreciation of our school. 7 Vanishing Americana . . . The One-Room School We seldom see one now, but generations of capable, successful Americans learned their three R ' s in schools such as this. We have all read how Abraham Lincoln went to a log school and became President of the United-5utes. Dr. C.C. Fisher graduated from Emory and Henry College, cum laude, with the class of 1880. That following fall he accepted a position at Temple Hill School where he taught for two years. There he met his wife-to-be (Elizabeth Bickley Dickenson) when he obtained lodging at her father’s plantation. He boarded with the Dickensons for $5 a month, which included his room, board, and laundry. In 1886 Dr. Fisher was licensed by the Southern Methodist Church in Pikeville, Tennessee, as a minister. Later an honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred upon him by Kentucky Wes- ley College, Winchester, Kentucky. 8 The First High School This is Temple Hill High School built approximately in 1890. This is the first graduating class of Temple Hill High School (1921). They are Louise Paxton, Robin Dickenson, Stafford Fletcher, and Preston Clay. This is the faculty of Temple Hill High School (1921). FIRST ROW: Virginia Holland, Alise Hol- land, and Bertie Fisher. SECOND ROW: Olive Sho- maker Bolton and Miss Molly Dickenson. 9 Milestones Of Progress In 1920 the first cornerstone was laid for a new wing to be added to Temple Hill High SchooL Perched on the stone are Lena Francisco Harding, who now resides in Castlewood with her son, Pitzer; Max Fields, who later became a doctor (deceased, June 17, 1935); Paul Fletcher, who now resides on his farm in Kinston, North Carolina; Thelma Meade Hancock, who teaches social studies at Castlewood High School; and Everette Harding, who is also a teacher in Virginia. This group made up the ninth grade at that time. Today our ninth grade enroll- ment is 181. The completion of the first wing of Temple Hill High School in 1921. Tragedy Adds A Grave Note This is how Temple Hill High Scho ol looked be- fore it burned in 1948. The old high school building, the original Temple Hill School, faces the main entrance. One would not recognize it from the orig- inal picture on page nine. This main building (Old Temple Hill) is flanked on the southeast side by the gymnasium which took care of all indoor sports, chapel programs, and plays. To the north of the main building is an attrac- tive gable roof-type building which took care of the agricultural, science, and manual training equip- ment. Some sixty high school students assembled there daily for classroom instruction. So one can see that from a small beginning, the record growth and development of Castlewood High School has been a continuous one. 1 1 Through The Years The field day was a big event which was held annually in the spring. The all-important occasion consisted of races such as the potato race, sack race, climbing the greasy pole, and catching the greasy pig. Note the old Model T in the foreground. s c h: o o Xa .

Dr. Fisher was proud that 44 years of his life had been spent as an educator, 29 of which were spent as president of Millersburg College, a boarding school for girls, which he owned and operated in Millers- burg, Kentucky. They finally leased this property to the Millersburg Military Institute, a preparatory school for boys. Dr. and Mrs. Fisher lived a long happy life. He passed away at the age of 97; she, 94. This copy of the closing exercises presented at Abingdon District High in 1883, was obtained through the kindness of Dr. Fisher ' s niece. Miss Felica Dickenson, of New York City. Castlewood was known then as Bickley Mills. The names of those giving orations may reveal to someone an obscure ancestor. ANNUAL Sermon, rev- D- V- Price June 8th, 10 o’clock, A.

T Homecoming School spirit reached what has been termed as an all time high Friday night, October 19, 1962, when the Blue Devils met their Home- coming foe, the Warriors from Chilhowie. Interest began to build up when the dif- ferent clubs began their float making, each one keeping his theme a secret. A feeling one f or all and all for one began to grow Thursday night when the band and its director, Mr. McElwee, the cheer- leaders, students, and some of the teachers met on the ball field for a bonfire rally. School spirit was at its zenith when the array of beautiful floats, the band, and the would- to- be queens came onto the ball field under perfect football weather. Big moment arrives- -Sammy crowns Queen At a Glance The court and escorts: Sharon Lambert, Tommy Salyer- Catherine Bostic; Joyce Linkous-Joe Tomlison; Carolyn Smith-Sammy Gibson; Jorita Prater-Ronnie Milton; Janice Wilson-Larry Ramsey. Happy moment arrives- Bill crowns Queen Various clubs concentrated on beauty, novelty, color, and originality. But as in all contests, not every one can win. The first prize went to the Beta Club; second prize to the Art Club; third prize to the FFA Club. At halftime Janice Wilson was crowned Homecoming Queen, representing the Varsity team, and Jorita Prater, representing the Junior Varsity team. At this time the Castle- wood Band and the Chilhowie Band gave an excellent performance. We went down in defeat but not without a desperate battle. The score was 13-0 in favor of the Warriors. Forgetting our defeat, and the disappoint- ment of the photographer not getting to the game in time to get the pictures of the floats, we assembled in the gym for our Homecoming dance. Everyone reported a most wonderful Homecoming celebration. Our Pretty Janice Wilson, a sophomore, is chosen by the varsity squad to reign as Home- coming Queen for 1962, Larry Ramsey serves as her escort. Jorita Prater, a freshman, is chosen by the junior var- sity squad to reign as their Homecoming Queen for 1962. Ronnie Milton serves as her escort. Queens Homecoming Continued What A Difference A Year Makes We juniors served as ushers for the 1962 baccalaureate sermon. Now since we are seniors, who will serve at our graduation? The girls: Linda Ireson, Delores Sutherland, Sue Mason, Margaret Meadows, Alice Faye Skeens, Lynn Hankins. The boys; James Dickenson, Sammy Glovier, Douglas Skeens, R. N.

On November 21, 1962, the Beta Club held its annual induction ceremony. This year we had a wheel ceremony in which fourteen students joined the club. After each old member had taken part, he pinned his spoke on the wheel. The club members are proud to represent justice, character, honesty, patroitism, service, courage, and leadership. BETA OFFICERS SEATED: Virginia Chafin, president. STANDING: Linda Turner, treasurer; Earnestine Hensdill, vice- president: Jeweldine Hensdill, secretary; Susan Muse, reporter. The Beta Club of- ficers with their sponsor, Mrs. Car- ter, discuss the Beta Journal. Virginia Chafin, president of the Beta Club, calls an impromptu meeting to make plans for the Homecom- ing float. j ’ ( Gail Fields, Earnestine Hensdill, Virginia Chafin, Shirley Dingus, Bobby Joe Woods, and Sue Jessee led the candy sale which was one of the very successful projects o f the Beta Club. The Beta Club float won the first place award for two years in succession. Giving an underpriviledged pupil clothing for Christmas was another project of the Beta Club. Most of the outstanding students of the school belong to the Beta Club. 95 Since every student of our school belongs to the SCA, it is impossible for the entire student body to meet and work out the programs; therefore each room has a representative in this organization, also the class presidents. The SCA sponsored many interesting projects this year, including assemblies, the Christmas pro- gram, Christmas baskets for the needy, and Amer- ican Education Week, which included Senior Day. Patrolling the lunch lines and keeping hall bulle- tin boards up to date were other duties carried out by the SCA. One of the main objectives was to encourage a better school- community relationship. On October 20, 1962, Earnestine Hensdill, Vir- ginia Chafin, and Lynda Powers attended a meeting of the Clinch Valley District SCA at Graham High School, Bluefield, Virginia.

O, Box 129 Abingdon, Virginia REFLECTIONS We pause to turn and take a backward glance at our year past, and we behold a profusion of images of memory. Some are somber and some are very happy. They disappear, and then reappear. There are faces and places and things we knew in passing. There are games we had won and games we had lost. But these are only our memories. The record of the year has been written, and we are proud. We know that the passing of time will fade our memories, but not com- pletely efface them. Then there is only the record, the Castletonian. We are glad that our fortunes let us walk this way. 144 X Bussell County Public 3 1066 1001 3846 4
