We have found through our life ' s travel that there are three major doors that must be opened — the doors of the past, present, and future. The doors of the past hold the knowledge and memories 1 which we have thus far accumulated. Behind, the doors of the present lie the experiences and achievements of today. Through the doors of the future we can see the hopes and dreams of tomorrow. Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Be an opener of doors...” Many of our doors will be tightly closed, but through work and determination, we can open them — the doors of the past, present, and the future. 5 FRIENDSHIP ....

Although the lights were too bright for Bobby Scott, he managed to enjoy himself. Patricia Noe smiles sweetly at Chuck Ring. The juniors and seniors of Castlewood High School, along with their guests, entered the majestic doors of the Martha Washington Inn on May 11, 1968, for a night of gala festivities. Although it was a rainy night, our spirits remained undampened. The music, furnished by the “Blue Chords” from Richlands, added much to our night of splendor. It was a night that will linger in our memories for many years. 21 THE BEAUTY PAGEANT Rita Salyer was chosen “Miss C.H.S.” for 1968. The 1968 Miss Castlewood High School Beauty Contest was held in the high school auditorium, May 18, at 7:30 P.M. Twenty-six beautiful girls vied for the title of Miss Castlewood. Mr. Tim Wood was master of ceremonies and Kathy Cain accompanied the girls on the piano. Entertainment was provided by the Downbeats, Mid-Knights, Susan Barker, and Mr. Tim Wood. Mr. Wood presents to Lorraine Cochran the red roses which symbolizes her title of “Miss Congeniality”. 22 A GOLDEN MOMENT Five finalist were: third-runner-up, Rita Jo Ring; second-runner-up, Mary Jane King; fourth-runner-up, Vickie Thomas, hidden by Queen Rita Salyer; and first-runner-up, Sandy Gibson. Mr. Wood and Susan Barker sang folk songs while the judges made their final decisions. Kathy Cain added to the occasion with her lovely music. 23 HOMECOMING 1968 u 1 [h 1 9 tv . 1 e « ' - L ' l 1 ml f Ij IS ■ m In fB ■ Captain Frank Gillenwater breaks through to success.

SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA 1000— POINT CLUB “A view of power and reserve.” The basketball program at C.H.S. is a solid one headed by Coach Buddy Poole and capable assistants, Verner Auville and Steve Banner. In the present Varsity program, there are only two seniors, eight juniors, and two sophomores. The present squad will return in 1969-70 with experience, depth, and aid from a fine Junior Varsity program. On the present Junior Varsity, there are six sophomores, eight freshmen, and two eight graders. On our eight grade team we have twelve of the finest that we have ever had at C.H.S. During the month of February, our elementary tournament will be played and more fine players will be added to our already solid program. This year’s team has progressed greatly and will bear watching in the county and district tournaments. The team is a well-balanced one led by Terry Cain who is headed for All-County, District, and State honors. He is capably surrounded by Jimmy Hall, Johnny Huff, Mike Poole, Benny Powers, and Frank Gillenwater, the latter two being our seniors. We, the entire athletic program, are deeply appre- ciative of all the spirit and cooperation we get from the student body. Let’s continue to go forward in our athletic program together. Time out for a pep talk from Coach Poole and Coach Auville. 43 J.V. AND EIGHTH GRADE TEAMS FIRST ROW: Arthur Mabry, Tim Hall, Ronald Sluss, Eddie Gillenwater, Jerry Meade.

The cheerleaders’ goal for this 1968-69 season was to boost the spirit of the fans. They have accomplished this under the guidance of Miss Arvena Salyer. Whether away or on their home court, they cheered our team on with a spirit not expressed in words. The CHS cheerleaders have made posters, practiced cheers, yelled, jumped, and even cried for the Blue Devils throughout the year. They faithfully attended each football and basketball game in order to bring victory to the minds of the fans. Junior Varsity Cheerleaders: Becky Banner, Debbie Hard- ing, Rita Jo Ring, Eleanor Baker, Rita Salyer, and Bobbie Jean Porter. 47 Be an Opener of Doors to the Present . . . “Be an opener of doors . . Help us know our todays, And all of our differences and funny kinds of ways. Unclog our minds to work for the now, The what, when, where, why, and how. Reveal today, this hour, this minute, and each second God may give. Open the doors so we may see the present in which we live. 48 • rr • mmMk Wmmtism Ym y ' rmw® ' ’ jmm m $V � «’ ’’jfc JS jafjw ’ Afy ' Vi ' S DEDICATION Few men could ever live up to the standards that Mr. John E. Carter has lived up to in his job as principal at CHS for the past twenty -five years. He has opened more doors for the students than most of us will ever be allowed to see. In his never-ending desire to help, he has taken many students through the doors of knowledge and life. By carrying the heavy responsibilities of keeping a disciplined school, he has given each student at CHS a need to advance, a desire to know, a dream to succeed. We only hope that his needs, desires, and dreams have been fulfilled in his career at CHS; and because of this hope, we dedicate the Castletonian to an outstanding man, Mr. John E. Carter. 50 FOR SERVICE AND LOYALTY 51 ADMINISTRATION Castlewood owes a great deal to Mr. Eugene Campbell, our assistant principal, who has the sole task of judging each student’s excuses. He also patrols the cafeteria during lunch time, and then furthers his job by teaching geography. One of the busiest people at CHS is undoubtedly Miss Linda Sykes. From early morning until late afternoon. Miss Sykes sells pencils and paper, types letters, mimeographs tests, answers the numerous phone calls, and gives cheerful aid to those hundreds who ask for it. It isn’t such an easy job to teach high school students the ABC’s! Mr. William Robinson finds this to be his major problem in teaching his students to type and take shorthand. Nevertheless, he ranks amont the best of teachers at CHS. 52 LANGUAGES CONVEY IDEAS Most of us owe a great deal of our English background to Mrs. J. E. Carter, eighth grade English teacher, as well as the French teach- er. Mrs. Carter strives to make her students well-rounded pupils who do their best. In addition, she spon- sors the Beta Club and works with the forensic participants in the spring of each year. Mrs. Connie Clay has full responsibility in keeping her Latin and English vocabularies sepa- rated as she teaches Latin I and Latin II and English 10. An excellent teacher at CHS, who definitely believes that “Docendo discimus.” “We learn by teaching.” ENGLISH PROVIDES FOUNDATION Scarlet fetter In her sweetest voice, Mrs. Stella Gibson makes it clear to her students that work rewards happi- ness. This is completely verified in her Junior English classes and the annual staff room where she labors patiently in successfully fulfilling her role as a teacher. Mrs. Shirley Dishman, a former student at Castlewood High School, returned to her Alma Mater this year to spread a little of her knowledge in her English classes. f FOR ALL STUDIES Mrs. Nell Jordan, the senior English teacher, has an overweight duty in every class. However, she manages to go in and come out of her classes with a smile and a helping hand as she prepares the seniors for college and life. Mrs. Mary Sutherland is one teacher that won’t easily be forgotten at Castlewood High School. Over the many years she has put forth her best foot in teaching her sophomore English classes that good English indicates a good mind. MATHEMATICS MAKES US No student could ask for a bet- ter math teacher than Miss Gladys Roop. She diligently and complete- ly explains to her algebra, geome- try, and trigonometry classes the importance of a good education. In addition she sponsors the SCA and works closely with the members in making CHS a good place to be. Mr. Earl Bolling, a math teacher at CHS, works with his students in adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. He is truly dedicated to the fundamen- tals of math. I THINK! THINK! THINK! . Joe Spransy often runs into a little confusion in his classes, but he always manages to cope with the toughest em and progress as a fine young teacher. Wf ■ ' ; Z . ' • Mr. Herman Hodges, in his few years at CHS, has become a favorite of the physics and algebra classes, simply because of his humor- ous personality and never-ending interest in his students. “Let us make this statement—” The sun rises and sets in Mr. Hodges. l GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT One of the funniest— yet loveliest teachers at CHS is Miss Margaret Deck, our guidance coun- selor. When a student has a problem, it immedi- ately becomes her problem, and in no time at all, the problem is laughed away. Mr. John Sabo has earned the admiration and respect of CHS students by the interest he has shown in them. As guidance counselor, he im- presses the importance of scholarships and aids each student in acquiring a knowledge which motivates him to use his time wisely and gain as much understanding as possible. KNOWLEDGE OF YESTERDAY AND In order to make it through life with an intelligent view of our government, every citizen should have the opportunity to listen to Mr. Ellis Hopkins in his government classes. He certainly gets his message across! Just ask a few of his students! TODAY Mr. Allen Wells, a newcomer at CHS this year, keeps his history classes laughing and learning. In his spare time, he coaches the eighth grade football team. Mrs. Lynn Ramsey, a new teach- er at CHS this year, is constantly confronted with her past memories of high school years as she works with her history students and the junior varsity cheerleaders, guiding them in all the right paths to knowledge and success. THE SCIENCE OF HOMEMAKING If anything smells good at Castlewood High School, the credit can almost always be given to the Home Economics Department, where Mrs. Frances Banner teaches her girls that the way to a man’s heart is via his stomach. Just ask Mr. Banner! He can verify it! A woman’s job at home is never done. Nevertheless, Mrs. Ruth Wheeler teaches her girls in the home economies classes that a woman must know how to cook, sew, and manage household affairs before she can even begin her job. VOCATION, MUSIC AND DRIVING Coach Steve Banner, the “winningest” coach at CHS, is well-known for his successful baseball teams. He is also successful as a driver education teacher. He hasn’t had a wreck yet! ( Sing Lut (it to, Tim WwjrCTor life can iV� ; anywheMat any Umef Tor those, beware of Mr. Tim detect a flat note His talented ear for mushrsis well made use of at Castlewood ir( bom thVlb|nd and choir where he does the very best job in spreading his love-for imisic to all. Fortunately for the agriculture boys, Mr. Forrest Irving eats his ice cream before he teaches his many boys about farming, masonry, foresting, plowing, ranch- ing, building, and mechanics. COMMERCIAL COURSES BUILD FUTURE In her business classes at CHS, Mrs. Linda Harris works to make her students efficient, prompt, and comprehensive. She also takes special interest in the FBLA Club and its projects and programs. ® 0OGOOQ Need help? Ask Mrs. Mary B. Tardy! She is always fully prepared and anxious to aid anyone and everyone-whether he or she is in her general business, shorthand, and book- keeping classes or not. SCIENCE— HORIZONS OF LEARNING Mr. Ronald Milton, a former graduate of CHS who couldn’t leave his old school, is certainly one of the best-liked teachers at Castlewood. He approaches his science classes in a human way-with friendliness. A better biology teacher than Miss Lexie John- son could not be found. She knows it all-from the tiniest bee’s body to the most complicated pro- cesses of man. The proof can be easily found by just looking at her room! Whether it be distilled water or distilled???, Mr. Charles Burns manages to have all the atoms, molecules, elements, and compounds for a good chemistry and science teacher. READING PROVIDES INFORMATION Mrs. Avera Sparks aids the many students in their reading abilities and skills in her work with the ESEA pro- gram. In addition to the many things in- volved in this program, Mrs. Sparks finds time to further her education by com- muting to Clinch Valley College at Wise, Virginia. Mrs. Nancy Warner, an alumna of CHS of ’53, came back to her old stamping ground as an ESEA assistant in the reading department. By having worked previously, Mrs. Warner is doing an excellent job with her eighth graders. 84 LIBRARY ASSISTS IN RESEARCH A library has long been known as a room of intelligence; and a librarian is the guide to this room. Mrs. Jeroleen Elarn is a perfect guide at CHS as she willingly assists the students in using the library properly and excessively. Wrx.Art ttS A- WXC‘t-i -I ■ I,i 1 W ’HiVOtr- Mrs. Shirley Poole serves as a clerical assistant in the library. Besides her cleri- cal work, Mrs. Poole works at the desk. When checking in their books, the stu- dents have found Mrs. Poole very polite and friendly. PHYSICAL EDUCATION See a friendly smile in the crowded halls at school? Look twice-it’s Coach Buddy Poole. Whether on the football field, the basketball court, or in a classroom, Coach Poole manifests his love for working with teen-agers by observing, teaching, and understanding in a friendly way. Coach Verner Auville, the new football coach at CHS this year, believes in good physical health. He trains his football boys, as well as his physical education boys, for the enduring of all physical strains. PROMOTES FITNESS To assist Miss Salyer, Mrs. Wilma Porter works to keep the physical education girls in top condition. “Fifty jumping jacks, twenty-five push-ups, and ten laps around the gym! Please!” Miss Arvena Salyer really has it rough with the eighth, ninth, and tenth grade girls in her physical education classes. And what about those six big-mouth cheerleaders she takes to every away ballgame? All in the life of a good teacher! SENIORS . . . SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Cathy Cain .

The SCA hopes to cooperate with the PTA in sending out news letters to parents informing them of activities in the school. One of the most important duties of the SCA is to sponsor assembly programs each month for the entire student body and faculty. The memorial plaque, in honor of Douglas Dishman, was presented to CHS by the SCA. The president of the SCA, Carolyn Beauchamp, and the sponsor.

Since its beginning in 1965, the club has been an active, cooperative, and charitable club. This year, however, the thought came to mind that some members may develop enough skill in one or more native crafts to deem it desirable to apply for mem- bership in the Southern Highlands Handicraft Guild, an organization with extremely high standards for admission to membership. Therefore, it planned more serious and more definite efforts in crafts for this year than in previous years. While reaching toward this “hand- icraft star,” they enjoyed such ordinary activities as preparing a homecoming float, having informal get-togethers, visiting Craft Houses and Museums, sending gifts to servicemen in Vietnam, and sharing with needy children and old folks here at home. The officers of the club are Shirley Osborne, Susie Addison, Mary Cromer, Janie Gibson, and Sherry Jordan. 116 THE MUSIC CLUB The Music Club is an organization which is open to students interested in music.

CULTURAL ENRICHMENT The Castlewood High School Band and Choir, under the direction of Mr. Tim Wood, greatly enriches the cultural aspects of our school. Many worthwhile hours of practice produce a sound which wins acclaim for performances, such as the Christmas program. The band enlightens the school spirit by playing at football games.

The members of the Sentinel staff strive to cover the entire school program— classes, clubs, sports, and special events. It is their aim to keep the news current and to publish as many coming events as possible. Realizing that the circulation of the paper is the only source of income, the newspaper staff tries to reach the entire student body with the very best coverage as well as the very best copy it can produce . Because the newspaper is the media between school and home, the members of the staff try to keep the Sentinel as free of grammatical errors as possible. This year the members of the newspaper staff, along with the cooperation of the student body, have launched a printed paper for the first time. This paper provides more space for news and better copy than the mimeographed paper has in previous years. Sue and Karen give the final proofread. Mrs. Jordan explains the importance of a complete layout. 127 “Be an Opener of Doors ...” expresses the many opportunities and challenges with which we high school students are confronted. We nine annual staffers have tried to show these challenges and opportunities throughout the pages of this book. Along with Mrs. Stella Gibson, we have forfeited our study halls, afternoons, and holidays in order to meet the deadlines of the 1969 Castletonian, and make it a good book for the students of CHS. Patricia and Frank design sports layout. Carol and Judy identify pictures. THE CASTLETONIAN DEMANDS 128 MANY HOURS OF HARD WORK Judy and Brenda discover new ideas. Pam and Jenny check final ad receipts. Sandy and Mrs. Gibson select the best pictures. .129 Be an Opener of Doors to the Future . . . “Be an opener of doors . . .” Cast a future glimpse. Break through the tomorrow that looks so dense. Extend a hope, a dream, an aim, That needs work, determination, and skills that take pains. Make us ever mindful of what is to be. Open the doors of tomorrow, and we shall try to see. 130 : t ' Patricia Noe George Mays MOST INTELLECTUAL Douglas Salyer Luanne Dishman BEST DRESSED WHO’S WHO Roger Dishman Brenda Chalin FRIENDLIEST AT C.H.S.
