Mr. Larry Shortt is the answer. Mr. Shortt will admit to being a ‘‘redneck” without cracking a smile. Mr. Shortt has served devotedly throughout the years to see that his students gain that edge in life that every high school student will need. He is not only a fine mathematics teacher but also a super person. He is a man that is really involved with his students. Mr. Shortt takes a personal interest in the students here. Besides knowing his work, he seems to always know everything else. Some poeple say that there are three ways to inform someone. These three things are: telephone, telegraph, and tell Mr. Short. This statement is just an example of the closeness that he shares with the students. Everyone thinks of him as a teacher and friend. Mr. Shortt, who is more commonly referred to as Coach Shortt, is always ready to lend a hand. He can be seen throughout the day helping students and teachers as well. Coach Shortt extends this courtesy even after that final bell has rung. He is usuallybusy working with the boy’s track team. He is the Head Coach of track but spends his additional time with the baseball, basketball, wrestling, and football teams. In the past winters, he has been the statistician for the basketball team. During the Sure you did! Coach Shortt appears to be doubting again. Mr. Shortt seems to be trying to decide whether to assign the odd or the even problems. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10... Coach Shortt is busily adding up the basketball statistics. 2 And Dedication spring, when not involved with track, he is the baseball statistician. He plays a great part in the success of our athletics. Coach Shortt is quick to give pointers and helps in devising plans for the eventual success of the other coaches’ strategy, as well as putting his mind to work devising the ultimate prank. Sometimes it is easy to recognize a great coach because his deeds are publicized; but not always. It’s the little things that make a man. Such a man is Coach -Shortt. He does not “make the newspapers” but his deeds are just as well accomplished. Coach Shortt seldom gets the thanks that he deserves. Whether it be helping a student with a problem, lining off the football Quit trying to hide that chew, Coach Shortt! Relaxation ... Mr. Shortt relaxes while giving advice. field, or repairing equipment, he is always ready. This writer cannot always say what’s on his mind; but these next lines are from the heart. Allow us to interject a personal note. Coach Shortt, if being a redneck means that you are kind, devoted, and compassionate, then it is true indeed that you deserve such a fitting title. For Coach Shortt truly exhibits all these qualities. Yes, you are a redneck, and we are glad you are. Because of your great loyalty, we are proud to dedicate the 1981 edition of the Castletonian to Mr. Larry Shortt. Like the famous Greek discus throwers, Coach Shortt demonstrates that championship form. Now is that a guilty face? ... Mr. Shortt is caught in the act. Betty?

Do you honestly believe that any one person could be totally sane by the end of 12 years of school? Well, some people believe they stay on the level by just getting to see and talk to their friends at school. Two of the most common get-together spots are Smoker’s Glory and the hallways. When the bell between classes rings, students file out to Smoker’s Glory to light up and discuss the problems of the day with their friends. They stand around shifting from one foot to the other and quickly go over who was asked out by whom or what that certain teacher put on the “hardest test in the world”. In the mornings and between classes people can also be found wandering around the hallways with friends or loves talking about why someone isn’t here, who will be Miss CHS this year, or just complaining about their next class. Many gather around lockers talking in quiet un- dertones about ‘“‘what happened last weekend” or what will happen during the up and coming one. It’s been the same for years and it will probably be so for many more years to come. Students gather in the hallways to talk, or run out to Smoker’s Glory to puff on a cigarette. Who knows if it will ever change, but if it does, we'd hate to see the state of mind in which stu- dents would be. Stick a tie day? ... No, Mr. Banner's spirit seems to be “‘sticking out.”’ Feet stompin’, voices cheering, hearts pounding, the football team strutted out of the Devil’s Den to the football field in front of their most loyal and devoted fans. This spirit led the football team to district championship and regional playoffs. Fans followed the season right into basketball. The fans went with them everywhere from Honaker, Holston, and Rural Retreat to Floyd County. On selected Fridays, the gym would be packed with students to pep up the teams by screaming and fighting for the spfrit stick. Then each game night, the stands would be jammed with loyal Devil supporters. The cheerleaders, mini-cheerleaders, band, and mini-majorettes boosted the crowd’s and team’s spirit each week. Homecoming week was spirit week. Each day was celebrated in a different way. Monday was “hat day”. Everything was seen — from beanies to cowboy hats. On Tuesday, white shirts were worn and autographed. Wednesday was “Fifties Day” when the greased hair, saddle oxfords, and bobbie socks came back in style. Mix and match day was observed Thursday. This was the “anything goes’ day when combinations of plaid, polka dots, and pinstripes were fashionable. The final day was observed by wearing all blue and white. This is the week when everybody got a chance to show their spirit. The Forensics Team and various clubs and organizations have participated in district, regional, and state competitions. The ecstasy of the student body has followed the teams even when they could not be present to show it. With spring fever came the joyous triumphs of the track, tennis, and baseball teams shared by the entire school. Victory became greater while the agony of defeat became less harsh with the support of fans. Spirit was the common factor of each of these events — from the beginning of school to the end. However; there is something more impor- tant than fans — the participants of the events. The dedication, strife, practice, and spirit the members of all these teams possess made possi- . Pee ble the wonderful victories and even the Pore Pers er MA anes pars defeats, but most of all, the fun had by all.

Athletes are bragging about an easy win. ‘We're go- ing to cream’em” is often heard throughout the halls.

Dedra Wright and Kim Mitchem share a joke while waiting for someone to take their order. Circling parking lots, ordering ham and cheese sandwiches without onions and gossiping with friends, these are only a few examples of the things that happen involv- ing our students. Pizza Hut seems to be the more popular of the local hangouts around the area. It has provided much enjoyment for many of the students and teachers. The Pizza Hut is especially popular after home football and basketball games. Whether there’s been a victory or defeat, the students, parents, faculty and coaches have worked up an appetite either cheer- ing, coaching or playing in the game. Everyone needs a break from the every- day hassles of schoolwork. Always the same routine: algebra, physics, Spanish and even study hall. So, after a hard day, the students head for their favorite hangout. Weekends are the most popular times for the Pizza Hut whether you are there on a date or with a few friends or just because after a busy week of studying and tests you feel you need an evening for yourself to do what you want to do. Although the price of a pizza may rise, the pleasant times at the Pizza Hut will always be the same. With each new class comes new memories. And that’s the way it should be. Serenading ...

For the first time, students began to walk out ona rock band concert. Could it happen here? This was the reaction to the assembly performance of the Chamber Band. However, fortunately, not all our assemblies were received this way. When Menageri played during homecoming week and later in the year, the students were captivated by their musical melodies. In unison, the band and the choir presented a religious and non-religious Christmas concert. The Thanksgiving Choir program was given by the faculty and the choir. Several of the faculty gave recitations that added to the significance of the season. The S.C.A. sponsored the movie ‘The Candidate” and the movie ‘The Fall of the House Usher.”’ The money made off these two movies went to UNICEF for needy children.

Kim Phillips received an outstanding English 8 award. 20 Students waited with anticipation to hear the winners’ names announced. One could feel the dignity and pride fill the auditorium. This was a rare chance during the busy, hectic school year to honor achievers for their accomplishments. Many thoughts crossed the recipient’s mind as he or she traversed the stage to receive his or her award. A look of con- tentment crossed each face. The feeling of success is unique and is needed deeply for all human egos and self-confidence to flourish. The faculty and administrators honored each achiever in every field on this day. Awards given were ranged from the Special Olympics to Vocational to Academic. No matter how great or small the accomplishment these students are excep- tional and great achievers. eer =—sCMr. Spicer presents Pam ; Hamric a certificate for her achievement in Art.

Future Actor ... Benny Mays was most successful with his dramatic poetry reading, ‘We Don’t Do Nothin’ In Here”’. Readin’, Writin’, Spellin’ “Tt’s not thur! It’s their and there!’’, exclaimed Mrs. Miotke. Every word must be perfect when you are speaking in competi- tion. Butterflies in your stomach, cold feet, jitters, having to go to the bathroom, and stuttering were common occurrences for participants. When you got up before a room full of judges star- ing at you, you just wanted to run away — fast. It was a big year for forensics. More people competed in the school contests than ever before. There were more people that placed in district and regional levels than ever before. Krista Robinson placed fifth in district girls’ prose. Pam Hamric was a third place finisher in spelling. Libby Biggerstaff, Mike Bush, and Angie Elkins went to regionals after placing second in the speaking contests. Benny Mays and Becky Riner placed first in district and participated in regionals in boys’ and girls’ poetry. Benny received second place in regional competition and second in state competition. Leading the winners were: Miss Jordan — prose, Mrs. Tardy — Poetry, Mr. Martin — original oratory, Mrs. Miotke — extemporaneous speaking, Ms. Norris — spelling, and Mrs. Clay coordinated all the events. After the hard work, sweat, going to restrooms countless times, and nervousness, a sense of pride was felt when it all came together. Winning made them all want to keep on speak- ing up. 22 Lefty ...

Is it for distinction, popularity, or because you really like it? Emblems have become a part of our life. This is the year of the trends. Just like the fifties were symbolized by bobbie socks, saddle ox- fords, greased hair, and white T-shirts, the eighties are becoming “‘labelized”’. Gloria Vanderbilt designed clothing, Izod and Lacoste, Levis, Nikes, Wranglers, Calvin Klein, and Pierre Cardin are found in almost every store. Is it really normal to pay $50.00 for a pair of signature jeans when you could have had plain jeans for $15.00? It seems as though we buy for names and labels. We h ave been accustomed to being attracted to and even look for labeled products. Could paying more for a dragon emblem be a psychological problem? Well, whatever the reason for this sudden trend, one name for the eighties will definitely be “the decade of the labels”. 25 Gary Fugate receives his trophy for drafting from Mr. Larry Massey, principal of the Vocational School. Blue Collar Education: An Eye Toward The Future Often the students that attend vocational school are left out of many activities here at their home school. We forget that they are just as much a part of it all as those who attend full time. Vocational training is a growing trend among the youth of today. They have prepared themselves for the job market of today upon their completion of their high school careers. This type of training teaches them the job skills they will need. Blue collar workers, as they’re often referred to, are specialized in a trade. These workers make up a large majority of our population. It is with great pleasure that we honor these tradesmen in their specific skills. 26 Kathy Jackson receives a certificate for winning in the opening and clos- Ing ceremonies VICA contest. lI David Hicks receives his trophy for welding from Mr. Massey. a iaarcoremmaune a Cookie Steffey received the HOSA Award.

Sagging streamers, half-burnt candles and swaying figures in the dimmed lights... the effects that came from these sim- ple descriptions of only a small part of our prom sur- roundings were a big part of what made the prom a great SUCCESS. The decorations seemed to spell love. This was a time that everyone could forget about everything else, and have a nice time in what appeared to be a dream-like world. The students and faculty were entertained by Manageri, a popular rock group from Kingspo rt, Tennessee. While most everyone enjoyed at least one dance, others just sat and watched the dancing. It was a common sight to see the students and faculty switching dancing partners. This seemed to add more excitement to the prom. As the candles grew smaller, the excitement which had earlier prevailed over the gym slowly died away into this famous final scene. 29 Curlers, robes, and cosmetic cases are usually seen at a teenage slumber party. But, on April 13, 1981, these items were some of the pre-preparation of fifty-one girls competing for the title of Miss Castlewood High School and Junior Miss Castlewood High School. Prior to the pageants the scene backstage was tense. Several girls were adding the final touches to their hair and make-up, each one showing signs of nervousness in her actions. As the moment approached for each contestant to make her debut on stage, each had her own thoughts in mind. Perhaps some were thinking negative thoughts such as: what if I trip, or what if I place third, or what if my dress falls off? Of course, there must have been some optimistic thoughts too, suchas: I might just have a good chance at this. After each young lady had her turn on stage the case of nerves turned into anxious anticipation for the long awaited moments of the crowning of the queens. As the night ended the scene changed. Now there was ex- citement, happiness, and relief for everyone who par- ticipated. Final Touches ...

Food and the pursuit of food takes up much of the average teenager’s waking hours. The most common words said by any teenager are “I’m hungry” or ‘‘What’s to eat?’’. The cafeteria and vending machines serve as the school’s portion of this teenage ritual. There is much complaining about cafeteria food. Green beans have been compared to shoe leather and cheese sandwiches with cardboard. We must admit though that it is certainly not the cooks’ fault. When lunches go up to $1.40, we'll certainly appreciate the “good ole days’’. The food isn’t that great, but at least “‘it ain’t dog food.”’ LUNCH TIME 33 WE ARE WHAT | lip ee sets monsoon 36 Kk , Up, Up, Up, We go.

What would the famous Boston Pops Orchestra, an Olympic gold medalist, or an Oscar award winner be without hours and hours of practice? Neither would be as successful as they are without all the practice they have put into what they do. Each person or team who wants to be good at what they do, knows he or she must work at it. Every person who has ever played a sport realizes there is a great sacrifice he must make when he becomes a member of that team. After school, when most people go home to relax or do something they enjoy, the sports person has to begin a grueling hard practice.

With such sports offered as football, baseball, and girls and boys basketball, our students are learning the rules and skills of the games in order to prepare themselves for Varsity sports. Eighth grade sports also seem to be exceedingly popular. The Attendance was high for the football team with many players coming in from the seventh grade. The eighth grade basketball team started out with a good year but as the year progressed many of the better players were recruited for the Junior Varsity team. Years to come seem to be very promising for the Varsity sports with the many excellent players on the J.V. teams. So keep it coming and we’re sure to have some great years ahead.

Rain, snow, or sleet doesn’t stop the postman from delivering the mail, nor does it stop the Big Blue from delivering a thrilling performance on the field. The team has become well known for their wacky plays such as the Libian Connection, Muddlehuddle and Star Wars which can be mind boggling. As it takes a stamp to send a letter it also takes guts, determination, and hard work from each of its 43 mem- bers to transform a simple group into a team. Bad luck prevailed for the devils early in the season with injuries and a loss to Saltville. Starting quarter- back, Vance Owens received a shoulder injury, leaving only senior, Frank Wohlford as a backup. Frank had very little game experience at quarterback but led the Devils to six victories. By moving Frank to quarterback this put pr essure on seniors, Tiny Austin and Mike Couch. The Devils did the impossible again by defeating the mighty Clintwood, Green Wave for the second year ina row. Our team showed great playing ability and the fans wore proud smiles. The unbelievable squad had lots of potential. Leon Talford, possessed the ability to contribute to both the team defense and offense. Tiny Austin, a team leader, hampered with injuries throughout the season caught the winning pass in the Clintwood game. Todd Long and Richard Matada, receivers had the ability to come in as substitutes and contribute to the game. Kevin Lowe, a very big part of the team added to the game with his desire to play and the love of the game. Edward Tarr, playing at center at 130 Ibs. had to go against other players weighing as much as 230 Ibs. Edward came through and handled the situation quite well. Darryl Brown and Ronnie Neece, played a big part in our defense and running game. Fate hit the devils with a loss to Chilhowie, the only team which would keep the Devils from clinching the district title. Perhaps fate doesn’t hold all, or that would have seemed to have been the story as the Warriors were disqualified which led the Devils to the playoffs. This came as a surprise not only to the Devils but to Chilhowie as well. However, the fates were not on our side, for when the dust cleared, it was the Floyd County Buffaloes who moved into the regional finals. 42 Front Row: Dwayne Profitt (manager), Randy Dixon, Tony Nahoun, David Phillips, Skip Coffey, David Phillips, Nigel Trent, Kevin Bradley, Scott Prater Second Row: Ray Spenilla (coach), Greg Johnson, Kenny Chafin, Tony Davis, Jeff Kiser, William White, Gary Steele, Danny Williams, Chris Salyer, Ricky Pientka, Jeff Mullins, Jamie Robinson, Larry Shortt (coach) Third Row: Daniel Glass (coach), Mike Frizzel, Greg McReynolds, John Hale, Abo White, Charlie Collins, Mike Bush, David Osborne, Ricky Statzer, Randy Fleming, Allen Christian, Larry Trent, Mark Rose, Tom Allen (coach) Back Row: John Wayne Martin (head coach), Tiny Austin, Leon Talford, Frank Wohlford, Ken Couch, Todd Long, Mike Couch, Edward Tarr, Vance Owens, Darryl Brown, Kevin Lowe, Ronnie Neece, Richard Matda, Richard Jessee, A.C.

With aching muscles but triumphant hearts the wrestling team pulled through the season with the district title, a second in Regional, and twelfth in state. Rather outstanding for a school with wrestling just in its fourth year. Our retiring “pin” pals Todd Long and Edward Tarr were the captains of the team and they made sure that each “Guillotine” and “Bundle Elbow” were practiced to make it the ultimate in perfection. Other helpful veterans such as “Dunlop” Couch, “Zip” Couch, Farrell Kantos and Darryl! Brown all added their knowledge to help aid the beginners. Who could forget that at many of these wonderful “battles of the bodies’’ Coach Burke could be found down on the mat with the best of the grapplers, coaxing out that last bit of strength to make the pin. Without his help maybe people like Stephen Phillips with his record of 11-1 or ‘“Big’”’ John Hale with his tally of 10-2-1 could not have come out of it with such glamorous statistics.

The girls seemed to reach their peak in the district tournament beating rival Chilhowie 15-4, 15-2, but met their match in Rich Valley, who went on to win the district championship. Betty Talford was elected to the all district team for her second consecutive year. She along with several others will be back next year in hopes of an even better season. 3) Danger: Strategy At Work “Too much trouble”... If you ask most people why they would not go into the field of coaching this is probably the answer you would get. After all, who would want to get home so little that you have to leave the family a picture of yourself so that they won’t forget what you look like? It takes a special person to be a coach. A coach has to be someone that their players will respect. Many times they have to be a mother and a father to their kids. Castlewood High School is lucky to have this caliber of coaches. The coaching staff has shown their dedication and love for the athletes. They have always been there when one of their players has a problem. It is the responsibility of a coach to see that his players show good sportsmanship. At our school this responsibility is not overlooked. Good sportsmanship is taught, and more importantly, displayed by all the coaches. This is only one of the many values that the coaches teach. They succeed in teaching the skills of the sport they are coaching and at the same time try to in- still within each athlete the responsible attitudes that make them ladies and gentlemen. As Coach Martin says, “‘I try to teach you the skills of football but more importantly I strive to teach you how to be young men.” This type of at- titude is expressed by all the coaches, no matter what the sport. Many times acoach’s importance is overlooked. Some people do not realize the special kind of understanding and devotion that goes into the making of a great coach. That is why it is so important to point out these qualities. Athletes do not make small of this special person affec- tionately referred to as “Coach.”’ The Italian Stallion!!

There’s a lot more to a cheerleader than pig tails and pom poms. Practice plays a major role in cheerleading as in any other sport. This year’s squad began practicing early in the summer, and continued throughout foot- ball, wrestling, and basketball season. They attended camp at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. Cartwheels, splits and hurkies are always an important part of cheering, but attitude and team work are also very important. Although things didn’t always turn out just as they were planned, by the end of the year the girls seemed to work together very well. Pep rallies were one of the girls’ ways of promoting school spirit. Chants such as “Red Hot” and ‘‘Battle Cry” seemed to arouse stu- dents more than any others. At the games, the girls performed many stunts and an oc- casional pom pom routine. Through pep rallies, pom pom routines, cartwheels, splits, chants and cheers the cheerleaders added a dimension of spirit and pep to our sports program. D5 S-l-i-d-e ... The word echoed across the field. Everyone eyed the third base coaching box as Coach Ray Spenilla did a great head-first slide. Now that is what is known as really being in the game. Ray Spenilla, head coach, worked very hard even during the off season. He was usually busy preparing equipment and trying to come up with new practice devices, anything that he believed would help to make a better baseball team. Practice began in early spring, while most people were busy play- ing in the snow. These practices were hot and one really had to push oneself to stick it out. Finally the weather cleared and the practices moved outside. Soon it was time for that first game and everyone was anxious. After the season began, people began to settle into the roles of players. The baseball team looked forward to a playoff berth. After winning the Hogoheegee District title, the team advanced to the Sub-Regional playoffs where they were beaten by Fries. Coach Spenilla adopted a slogan at the beginning of the season. His slogan was: “Castlewood Baseball, a class apart.’’ His aim was to live up to this motto. His team had received numerous amounts of praise for their class and good sportsmanship. He along with Coach Martin, Coach Glass, Coach Shortt, and Coach Patrick were a credit to coaching. 56 Castlewood Baseball, That's the way to do it!...

We’ve gathered here to watch several athletes compete in events ranging from the 1 lap to the 14 lap distance run.” Although Castlewood has never hosted such an event, they feel they would be very well prepared since the halls and sidewalks serve as their only track. But despite this major in- convenience and accepting this challenge, they, both the girls’ and boys’ track teams, have continued to work hard toward the goals. When the teams assembled to start ‘“‘run- ning the halls’”’ this year, they were each un- der the direction of new coaches: the girls- Coach Tom Allen and the boys-Coach Larry Shortt. As the weather warmed they were able to run outside; the track then became the sidewalk or subdivision. Throughout their seasons both teams were able to see how they could have perhaps benefited if they had an actual track on which to run. But sometimes we have to make the best of what we have, and that’s exactly what they each did. The boys finished 2nd in the district meet and the girls 3rd.

Your typical tennis match to outsiders (and when I say “‘outsiders’’, I mean non-tennis nuts) would probably be pretty boring. But to the players of that match, nothing is on their minds but how their stomach seems to be tied in knots and how apt a player their oppo- nent will turn out to be. Each match was played as if it were for the Wimbledon title when in all reality it was just a regular district match. But district title would mean more to this school than another Wimbledon would mean to Borg. This year the girls almost made it. They missed the district by the skin of their teeth with the decision being made by a defeat from Holston in the tournament. Happiness prevailed though, because this was the first time in the four years of girls’ tennis that they even won a match. In the previous years the boys always walked away with the glory but this year the boys ran out of luck and into competi- tion that put them back into last place. Quite a contradiction from past records. So, they follow the advice given to them by Coach Burke, and they can only hope that this will better the team instead of discouraging it. They run the laps, they do the exercises and they practice for hours on end, all in hopes that with each passing season two district trophies will be displayed in the case. 60 BESS Haase WN OF REN ORNE OG ip) Back it goes ...

The Student Cooperative Association is an organization whose membership contains the entire student body. The S.C.A. works directly with the principal, assistant principal and the students to accom- plish a smooth, efficient government for our school. The S.C.A. organizes fund raising projects to benefit our school and community. Membership on the council is limited to a select few. The students elect a representative from each homeroom at the beginning of the school year. All class and club presidents along with the editors of school publications are automatically members. The council works directly with the officers and sponsors to prepare and inform students of activities. The Student Cooperative Association began the school year assisting all newcomers and transfer students as tour guides. In spring of the year, the S.C.A. provided tours to the area elementary students. The council distributed fire drill posters to each homeroom. After the first few weeks were over and everyone seemed to be adjusted, work began. The S.C.A. planned the homecoming Festivities. They distributed programs to fans and spectators. They organized and gave awards for the float competition. A theme commit tee was organized to coordinate the ac- tivities. The theme was ‘Devils are Conquerors, too.’’ The S.C.A. presented the movie “The Fall of the House of Usher” to the students. From this fund raiser they con- tributed $50.00 to UNICEF. This year, Coach Buddy Poole was the guest speaker for the Veteran’s Day program. An American flag was pre- sented to the students and community. The flag was received from Congressman William C. Wampler by re- quest of the S.C.A. The organization then went right to work on planning the December agenda. The S.C.A. helped with the annual county White Christmas program, where representatives placed boxes in each homeroom. The students contributed non-perishable foods, money and toys. They then began fund raising projects to earn money for the Santa Pal program. The S.C.A. purchased a complete outfit of clothing, several new toys anda small treat for five needy children. The S.C.A. also sponsored a bulletin board and door contest. Many homerooms participated in decorating our school for the holidays. The S.C.A. sold chances on a watch to cover part of the Christmas expenses. 66 Students Create SGA. President Libby Biggerstaff The happy face of this child made all the work seem worthwhile.

The organization held a Sweetheart contest for Valen- tine’s Day. The students had an opportunity to vote for their favorite teacher. Mr. Sword took top honor most graciously. The association annually sponsors two delegates to each Boy’s and Girl’s State. Along with these projects the association was responsi- ble for keeping the marquee up to date with events con- cerning the students and public. The S.C.A. was part of organizing Award Day. This was an assembly honoring out- standing students of the year. They were also responsible for placing articles in the local newspapers about school events. The S.C.A. prepared a monthly calendar, and dis- tributed it to each homeroom of upcoming events. The organization prepared assembly programs and entertain- ment shows for the students. The last year’s council raised money to purchase drapes for the auditorium. This was a big project greatly in need of being tackled. The curtains did not arrive until this year. All these projects take money, determination and a willingness to work. The council sponsored a variety of ac- tivities to raise money. The S.C.A. participated in a magazine drive, and bumper stickers and shaker sales. They have sold posters and held a faculty vs. S.C.A. softball game. The S.C.A. has worked all year to purchase some new water coolers for the school. This was the association’s main project. Rounding off the year is the election of officers. Nominees were interviewed and presented a campaign speech before the students. Officers that are elected began planning the next year’s agenda. Does this sound like an ordinary club? The answer would have to be no. So you see, the S.C.A. is truly more than just a club.

However; it was acceptable on Beta Club initiation day. The newest members are initiated each year into the club. Qualifications of a model member are honesty, leadership, and maintaining a B average. This year, the Beta Club cracked down on qualifications, making it a much smaller club with all new members. There was much need to begin a club. Connie Rynes had to work hard to get registered with the National Beta Club while Georgia Phillips, as treasurer, was busy with money- raising ideas. Ellen Minahan, Vice-President, worked on planning meetings. Jane Hartsock, President, led the club in organizing each club function. The club chose a lonely, leftover Christmas tree for the club to decorate for the school foyer. The club, with bulbs, tinsel, and icicles turned the one-sided tree into a beautiful decoration. The main duty of the club is to have the honor roll published each six weeks. To raise money, the seniors took orders for candies, cookies, pies, and cakes from the faculty. This money was used to buy small gifts for teachers on their birth- days. The clubs combined for an induction ceremony in front of the student body. This publically announced the members for the year. After the ceremony, the members treated the teachers to a tea. Junior Beta members sponsored teachers’ week from March 31-April 3. The president, Dana Robinson, assigned each member a teacher to aide in grading papers, running errands, and washing the blackboard. The club also had a party, celebrating the receiving of Beta pins. Dana was assisted by Vice-President, Lisa Dingus, and secretary, Jill Elkins. Their motto “Let Us Lead by Serving Others,’’ is shown by the willingness to cooperate and by the gratitude that is shown to the faculty. The purpose of the club is to give recognition for positive accomplishments. It is a club for members who “give all they’ve got” and work for highly set goals. Beta Clubs are striving to be the se.

To a stranger the room before them may seem; “messy, disturbing, or even revolting,” but the ac- customed person knows what is happening. A year- book is being put out. It is pictures, captions, copy, and layout work being done. The seemingly con- fused state is just the friendly co-operation and hard work that is being accomplished by each member of the Castletonian Staff. The Yearbook Staff is under the superior leadership of Jane Hartsock. Jane, who was a mem- ber of last year’s staff, is this year’s editor. She is the person responsible for the entire produetion of the ennual and works very hard to help everyone with their assignments. She puts forth a great amount of effort and determination in order to produce the best yearbook possible. Other people who occupy the administrative positions are Sherri Baker, Sheila Osborne, and Donnetta White. Sherri works very hard as the Business Manager for the Yearbook. Sheila is equally busy with her work to be done in copy; and Donnetta is constantly making new layouts. Together with the other members of the Castletonian Staff, these four people try to provide the students of Castlewood High with a yearbook they can be proud of. Many people do not realize the amount of time that goes into the actual creation of an annual. Sometimes the work is tedious, but after careful thinking and planning the Staff seems to always ac- complish it’s goals. This year’s group includes: Copy — Ellen Minahan, Yvonne Ingle, Tiny Austin, Angie Holbrook, Kim White, and Angie Elkins. Layout — Manfred Jessee, Vance Owens, Jennifer Gibson, Bobby Ring, Darryl Brown, Lila Bush, Barry Taylor, and Missy Kiser. Business — Connie Rynes Hall, and Della Rambo. The person who is most responsible for a suc- cessful yearbook is Miss Sandra Norris. She is the key that opens the door to the creation of an out- standing yearbook. Ms. Norris works relentlessly to see that all the parts of the puzzle fall together. She devotes a lot of time to her work and the Castleto- nian Staff. Under her excellent guidance, the Year- book Staff has really come together to produce what they hope will be a masterpiece: THE 1982 EDITION OF THE CASTLETONIAN. Caught!

A Test of Time One-fourth pound of imagination One cup of skill A smidgen of photography ability Five tablespoons of willingness A pinch of typing ability Mix well with lots of elbow grease. These are just some of the essential ingredients for the creation of the Sen- tinel. The responsibility of putting out the school newspaper rests on the shoulders of the thirteen-member English 13 class. These people strive to keep the faculty members and the student body informed on the major news stories in and around the school system. Other than the main objective of informing, the newspaper also includes opinions and commentaries on various world issues as well as an entertainment section. What most people don't realize is all the hard work and effort put forth in making an issue of the Sentinel. The staff members must sell ads to finance the paper in order to sell it to the readers at a reasonable price. After the stories have been assigned and the deadline date is nearing, the tension among the staff begins to build up. Each person knows he or she must do a good job because their grade will reflect this and their sponsor, Mrs. Dolly Wallace is depending upon them. When the deadline has approached each member is doing several different things to prepare the paper for publication. Frank Wohl ford, Jane Hartsock, and Evan Beauchamp may be adding a spur of the moment story to the sports section. Perhaps Sheila Osborne and Ricky Jessee may be creating ads, doing some art work or making titles. In the dark room, Richard Matda could be developing some final prints. Sammy Trent, Vance Owens, and Darry! Brown may possibly be doing some last minute typing for a feature story. With the layout sheets spread out on a table, Ellen Minahan, Chris Brooks, and Ronnie Neece can be found placing the articles, pictures, and ads in just the right places. With a stack of typed articles on her desk Lila Bush may be proofreading them or writing the editorial, Mrs. Wallace is there overseeing the process to make sure it runs smoothly and ready to give helpful hints and advice when needed. 72 The English 13 class would like to express their appreciation to Dolly Wallace, Sentinel spon- sor, for helping them make the publication a SUCCESS, Editor: Lila Bush Feature writers: Darryl Brown, Vance Owens, Art editors: Sheila Osborne, Ricky Jessee SSR CEASA EHR HAAIEEAREHON Photographer: Richard Matda Layout editors: Chris Brooks, Ronnie Neece, Ellen Minahan 73 Recognition is the name of the game.

The Christian Fellowship Club and the Library Club are two of the more distinguished clubs here. The sponsors, Mr. Hodges and Mrs. Elam, are very dedicated and maintain a highly thought of club. The Christian Fellowship Club’s objective is ‘‘to create, maintain and extend to the fullest capacity one’s ability high standards of Christian way of life through involvement, equality, and service”. Each year there has been a steady increase in the enrollment (from eight last year to twenty this year) of the club. With this increase there is less burden on each member, and the club can plan more events. The Library Club’s objective is to serve the student body by learning, experiencing, and performing all phases of the Library criteria. The club is open for students grades 9-12 and now contains approximately thirty members. Both clubs are involved with services to the faculty. The Christian Fellowship Club serve a lunch in honor of the teachers during the week of Easter. The Library Club sponsors an exhibit of new material! and invite the teachers in for TEA TIME ...

Maintaining sportsmanship is the club’s main goal. The Varsity Club has made a name for itself as one of our most active clubs. Early in the year the club challenged the faculty to a flag football game. Proceeds from this game went to Howard Williams, a young man who was stricken with cancer. Though he did not live long, the contribution was well ap- preciated by his family. Members seemed to have an activity planned for every holiday, with carolling at neighborhood nurs- ing homes on Christmas, and an egg hunt for a selected number of children on Easter. As the end of the year drew near members plan- ned a picnic by a neighborhood pool. All members agreed that the Varsity Club had met up to its expectations, and all were proud to have been a member. 78 Kneeling: Marsha House (Chaplain), Lisa Hileman, Hope Honeycutt, Becky Couch, Carmella Collins, Jane Hartsock (Sec.), Dora Jo Mays, Sheila Osborne, Kim White, Ellen Minahan, Second Roll; Lisa Kincaid, Betty Talford, Sammy Smith, Greg Johnson, Barry Powers, Kelly Kincaid, Frank Wohlford, Dedra Powere, Standing: James Brooks, Anthony Dingus, Kent Hartsock, Darryl Brown (Pres.), Kevin Lowe (Vice Pres.), David Osborne, Bobby Ring, Tiny Austin, Evan Beauchamp, John Hale, Vance Owens, Ray Spenilla (Sponsor) Mr. Wells seems to be in hot p ursuit of Anthony Dingus!!!!

Members made “spirit” signs for the halls and spon- sored “Blue Towel Night,’ during which loyal fans waved blue towels. Later in the year a ‘‘Sharp Shooter Contest” was held, and the best basketball shooter was deter- mined. Although the Pep club had a large enrollment, only a few hard workers can account for the success of the club. 79 With the expectant nature of a mother waiting to see her newborn child, he stands watching the image slowly ap- pearing from the depths of the develop- ing tray. Now, with a sense of great ac- complishment, it’s there, his picture, clear, distinct, and beautiful. With the same sense of artistic pride our other ar- tisans watch their creations come to life. We are fortunate enough to have three arts related clubs. One is the Drama Club. Even though the membership is as small as twelve, they’re one of the most active clubs in the school. During the year, they presented three plays for the school and community. One was the forensic one-act play that received an ex- cellent rating. Another of the arts related clubs is the photography club. Their main objective is to learn photography composition and techniques. Because of their creativity, four members who presented portfolios were selected for the county gifted and talented program. The third, the art club, has shown their creativity in another way. Because of their selling ability, they have raised enough money to have the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts’ Artmobile visit the school next year.

When that first bell rings in the morning and everyone is “hurry- ing’’ to their classes, what is usually known as the bandroom is turned into a playground of singing voices. The choir is varitably bursting at the seams with underclassmen. Until this year our school has been without the presence of a choir. Ms. Jane Jordan, who is the instructor and keeper, has done a magnificent job. While looking into the magic mirror, past perfor- mances are seen such as the Christams program that was done for the elementary schools in the community and performances for the student body.

That line’s as crooked as a dog’s hind leg!’’ This was a phrase constantly heard from Mr. Bevins during August band camp. The band began working on their half time show during camp at Southwest Virginia 4-H Center. Each day, the band marched in the hot sun. However, all was not work. A mock wedding, dances, and a “short people dress-up by the majorettes were the main entertainment. Some band members had their unusual underwear run up the flag pole. Of course, there was eighth grade initiation. After band camp, the band began to have successful practices after settling down to school. For the next three months after school practice was a part of everyday life. They performed their half time show each Friday at football games. The homecoming highlight was the entry of a float in com- petition which won a third place award. On band trips, the band would board its own personal yellow limousine. There was everything from talking, screaming, playing cards, telling jokes, and singing to sleeping in the floor. After football season, the band started building enthusiasm for the competitions ahead. Everyone seemed serious for awhile. There was much work, sweat, and tears. Mr. Bevins’ voice became fainter with sayings like: ““You’re flat as a pan- cake!” and “You march like elephants in a strawberry patch!’’ However, they remained sane — for them — and were ready for competition. At Smokey Mountain Invitational Band Festival on October 26, the band and flag corps received an excellent rating and the majorettes a superior rating and speical trophy. A week later, at Alcoa Invitational Band Festival, the band, flag corps, ma- jorettes, and drum majorette received superior ratings. The hard work had paid off! Concert season began after competition. The band had a Christmas concert for the student body as well as a nightly perfor- mance. They marched in Lebanon and Cleveland Christmas parades. Then it was sell-sell-sell. It was everything from cookies and candy to candles and the pop- pop-pop of the popcorn machine at the basketball concession stand. The new year marked section tryouts and all-regional band tryouts. Mike Powers was the third chair trumpet player in all- regionals. The band then had their annual Spring Awards Concert. They were treated to the second annual band banquet where the seniors and director were roasted and toasted. Band is full of hard work, practice, marching, and dedication. However, there is so much fun. It’s like everyone’s second family. When you receive the number one trophy, it makes it all worthwhile. After all, nothing beats the band.

In these days of higher paying jobs, a teacher’s salary is considered very small. According to Mr. Steve Banner, the best thing about teaching is see- ing the students achieve academic success in high school and in their lives. Mr. Banner feels it is very gratifying to find a student that achieves his goals after he graduates. The quality of a stu- dent’s education is tested when he leaves high school and attempts to make his way. Mr. Banner is proud to say that he and the faculty have a part in that success. They attempt to lay a strong foundation for the ad- vanced learning that a high school graduate must achieve either in the job market or in college. Mr. Banner was not always in- terested in being a teacher. When he was in high school, he wanted to become a veterinarian. Then his plans changed when he received a baseball scholarship to Lincoln Memorial. While in college, he became interested in physical education. A short time after graduation, he came to Castlewood and began coaching. His coaching career was quite successful with nine district championships, four regional crowns, four sub-state titles, and one state win. He had a 92.9% win- ning percentage that any coach would be proud to “take to bat.” After eleven years, he decided it was time to leave coaching. He felt that coaching was a young man’s sport and his goals had been achieved. Upon completion of his coaching career, he decided to go into ad- ministration. He became the prin- cipal of Clinch River and even- tually came here. He feels that secondary education is the better of the two. “I enjoy being with teenagers,’’ states Mr. Banner. He feels he can relate to secondary age kids on an individual basis. Mr. Banner further states that our school has some great students to work with. Every school must move ahead and continue to challenge its stu- dents. Mr. Banner is never satisfied. He believes there is a con- tinual need for change. He points out the need for continuing cooperation between the faculty members. ‘‘We at Castlewood have one of the best faculties in the state,’’ says Mr. Banner. This faculty is made up of quality and hard working teachers. Education is a fine field to get into. You really have to enjoy the kids and look forward to a lot of challenges. Mr. Banner says that for eleven years he was probably the best armchair principal in the coun- try; but, after taking the job, he realized it was not as simple as he first thought. Being a principal takes a lot of energy. Mr. Banner is content being the principal here. He feels his job provides just what he wants. Mr. Banner’s future plans are pretty well undecided. ‘‘You must evaluate your life from time to time, and decide just what you want to do,’’ says Mr. Banner. “I want to stay as principal as long as I feel I am in touch with the students. When the principal loses touch with his students, it is time to get out. I just hope I will be able to recognize it when it happens,” he adds. Our school is very lucky to have a man such as Mr. Steve Banner who devotes so much of his time and energy to the education of its stu- dents. 89 The Referees: There When You Tom Allen Physical Education Frances Banner Home Economics Alan Bevins Music Department Mary Lou Bevins Home Economics A.

The law states that transportation to and from school is not mandatory by the school board. C.H.S. has a total of 22 buses. With the rising cost of gas, maintenance and vandalism, buses could become a thing of the past. The cafeteria is not exactly the Pizza Hut or McDonald’s, but the atmosphere is cheerful and loud. When several students were asked what their favorite cafeteria foods were, many replied, spaghetti, French fries, hamburgers, tacos, soup beans, and milk. Cleaning up the halls, classrooms, auditorium and the gym after various events is always taken for granted by the students. But there is someone who has to do it. Our maintenance engineers, more commonly known as janitors, are these peo- ple. These employees are an important part of our school. They should be appreciated for their contributions and help in running our school more efficiently. Front Row: Linda Austin, Bessie Skeens.

After Hours Teachers are people, too. Their lives include activities other than sitting behind a desk or writing ona chalkboard. Many people naturally think that a teacher would go home and grade test papers or prepare lesson plans for the next day. Stu- dents may be surprised to find out how some of their favorite faculty members spend their free time away from school. Several teachers enjoy going home to just spend time with their families. As soon as most teachers get home they take a few minutes to read a chapter of a good book or catch up on the world news by reading the daily paper. Most of the male teachers agree that fishing and refinishing antique furniture is their favorite hobby. While some of the female teachers believe that cooking, gardening, sewing, and watching a good television program is the best way to spend their free time. On weekends when there is snow to be found you may see Sandra Norris or Tom Allen skiing down the slopes. Allen Bevins spends some of his spare time cooking gourmet food. Some teachers ap- pear to be very health conscious and involved in various physical fitness programs. Linda Miotke, Freda Skeens, Charlotte Tarwater, Martha Sykes, Nell Elkins, and Dolly Wallace may be found in several different body contortions two nights a week at their exercise class. Frances Banner can be seen weighing in at her weekly weight watchers meeting. Charles Lowder- milk enjoys running ten or more miles whenever he get a chance. Up... Down... Up, Mrs. Wallace participates in a nightly exercise class. Whether it’s for exercise or just to unwind after a long day, Carolyn Litton loves to go for long walks in the evening. Linda Harris hunts old Indian relics and arrowheads whenever she has time. Various teacher have other ways of spending their time after school. Instead of devoting most of their free time to their hobbies they work at other jobs. Ray Spinilla has his own radio broadcast program every Friday night during football season. He also referees at girls’ volleyball matches just as John Wayne Martin does. Buddy Poole gets out in the early morning hours to deliver newspapers to local subscribers. When not teaching or delivering papers, Mr. Poole has a paint brush in his hand painting houses. Allen Wells, possibly covered with smudges of grease can be found pumping gas or changing oil at a nearby gas station. Farming seems to take up most of Ronnie Milton’s, Sid Johnson’s, and Gary Spicer’s spare time. Other than driving tractors or feeding animals, Mr. Milton helps out in his father’s store and Mr. Spicer gives private art lessons. During Daniel Glass’s spare time he may be help- ing a heart attack victim or applying first aid to an injured person since he devotes his free time to the local rescue squad. Teachers are just like everyone else. They enjoy doing many of the same things the average person does. Before students think their teachers just could not be human, they should remember that most teachers probably spend their free time just as they do. 95 A � 74Gb i va : t Coup, 96 This class I can’t wait till Friday! ... seems to be driving Joe Johnson up the wall. oy Eighth grade class officers: Pres. — Sherri Hileman, Vice Pres. — Tina Ervin, Sec.-Treas. — Mark Salyers.

Getting bopped on the head by a senior’s class ring, taking a variety of aptitude tests, or just lowering in rank from a pro to a rookie could change anyone from a proud seventh grader to a timid eighth grader. Each member of the class adjusts to high school a little differently. Many participate in extracurricular activities. Nelson Hayes started on the Junior Varsity Basketball team. Donna Silcox is a first section trumpet players. Still other eighth graders demonstrate their talents by par- ticipating in activities outside of the school. Gidget Prater, for example, is taking Jazz dance in her free hours. As a class the eighth graders have proved to be a very determined one hundred and forty-two. They had a little trouble getting together to make a float for the homecoming festivities, but after hard work they had an award winning entry. It’s only kick off time for the eighth graders. They have just begun their high school struggle. Though they are gain- ing yardage each day, the whole field lies ahead of them. Eighth graders will be eighth graders! 101 They've rounded first and now they’re heading for second. Just as good baseball re- quires individual effort, so does the freshman class. As rookies, they have applied that in- dividual effort and have excelled in various areas. Varsity teams are often thought of as con- sisting of juniors and seniors, but there are ex- ceptions. Judy Hall, Elaine Mabry, and Missy Robinson are members of the varsity cheerleading squad. David Bratton, Tony Davis, Randy Dixon, Scott Prater, Nigel Trent, William White, and Danny Williams are mem- bers of the varsity football team. As the youngest member of the FFA Forestry Team, Lloyd Phillips contributed to their victory in county competition as well as sixth place in regional. Tommy Baker has also won recognition from an art institute for his drawings. Another talented freshman, Mike Powers, was awarded third place trumpet in all-regional band. Scott Prater and Tom Purkey are members of the St. Paul Swim Team. With dedication, talent, and initiative, the freshman class is on their way to a great vic- tory. By the time they cross home plate, it is hard to tell what all will be mastered. Keep running freshmen, home plate is closer then you think!

On occasions the sophomores may feel like they’re trying to fight to regain an identity.. Sophomores, to many people, don’t have a definite identity since they are no longer the inexperienced eighth graders they once were, but yet haven't ex- perienced those crucial years which are ahead of them as seniors have done and juniors are doing. Inferior? To the contrary, the sophomores feel anything but inferior to their fellow schoolmates. The class along with their leader Deneen Long, who has been their president since the eighth grade, and their trainers, otherwise known as their class sponsors, met in October. It was one week before homecoming parade. With a lot of long, hard work and dedication, they delivered a hard hit, knocking all their oppo- nents out except the seniors. Both the sophomore and senior floats placed first in the competition. On Friday’s, the students would congregate in the gym for pep rallies to show support for their team and school, also to compete for the spirit stick. Each one ended with the sophomores, yelling, screaming and shouting their way to victory to receive the spirit stick. Continue training sophomores. There’s only a few more rounds to go in this important battle in the high school boxing ring. H-e-y ... Castlewood seems to have its own “Fonzie”’ fan club.

Hello readers, this is your action eleven reporter Castle Wood coming to you from the midst of the junior class. It was here where just a short while ago 93 juniors began this challenging race. These deter- mined juniors forged ahead in the junior to senior mile and made great strides toward their ultimate goal, the Senior Cup. This adventurous group par- ticipated in the selling of M M’s and yarndolls. They also staged those difficult events such as a sockhop dance, concession stands, and, what every little sponge loves, a car wash. This enterprising group of young men and women really made the world stand up and take notice. Starting with a treasury containing the exact total of $000.00 they proceeded to raise enough money for a float and the prom. With all of this hard work and a lot of determination, they entered a float in the homecoming activities. The junior class also sponsored the traditional junior and senior prom, as well as burying their class rings. Throughout this entire race these spunky juniors have time after time returned from the hands of defeat to achieve that final victory.

Seniors could easily be compared with race car drivers preparing for their last lap. High school is a crucial pit stop preparing the driver for the race ahead. When the checkered flag of graduation is waved, seniors recognize the race has been won. As they accept their diplo ma and become graduates the winners circle is formed. This is aspecial class full of many talen- ted, young people that will become the leaders of tomorrow. Many will continue their education and become part of the professional class. A lot will become part of the labor force. Several will probably hold jobs that pertain to the heritage of our area. When several seniors were asked about their future plans, many said “‘decisions”’. While several plan to attend college, on the average 70% are turning to other alter- natives. With the rising cost of obtaining a higher education and unemployment ris- ing, many are planning to attend a trade school, enter the military service or get married. The race has been won and the winners will continue to compete and strive toward other finish lines.

Imagine how bor- ing the world would be if we all were! In high school and throughout life, we will meet people who leave an impression on us. They are the people who add color to the dull pages in our lives. Senior superlatives single out students ac- cording to personality, talent, or achievement. Each superlative is chosen by his fellow classmates and each will be remembered as a person who used their special qualities to add determination or laughter to our lives.

There was reminiscing about the good and bad days of high school and some goodbyes, but most tried to enjoy their day they had to themselves. Several seniors were dragged and dumped into mud puddles. It took hours to get mud out of ears, toes, and clothes. Senior day was definitely a gigantic success. Fun brightened the cloudy day and by afternoon no one even realized that it wasn’t a beautiful sunshiny day. There was no way possible to have had better conditions than we had. So much fun was shared by the seniors on their final fling together. When we look back, we will definitely remember the wonderful times shared as close friends. SS Muscle Man ...

It only lasted an hour, but in this short period of time a goodly amount of memories were remembered and created. The invocation was given, the choir sang and the message was given, but more than this, families and friends shed tears, reminisced and shared proud moments. The benediction was given, and it was over. Step one ended, but the walk ahead had just begun. The path forward could be filled with obstructions or it could be free of obstacles, but once the first steps were taken, everything seemed clear to proceed ahead no matter what might be in store.

The class of 1981 presented a portrait of former principal John Tarwater to be hung in the school auditorium. “No!! No!! I don’t want to go!” Could this really be hap- pening? Could this be the same group of students that four years ago wished and wished they were seniors? Well, the time finally arrived. The last days of a twelve year journey came to an end. The books were turned in for the last time and all the seniors began to realize just what a big step forward they were taking. The feeling was one of loneliness and sorrow after the graduating class of 1981 had received their diplomas. The audience sensed the feelings of sadness as each senior ascended the steps. But the thoughts of each individual were something that the people could not see. They could not realize the memories of each senior as they remem- bered some fun time, some wonderful places, or some touching moments from the past days of school. The real great times of being a part of a group and of being at a school you can be proud of, were no more. Yes, it was a frightening experience. Each graduate probably asked himself, “What does the world hold for me?” or “What part will I play?” There seemed to be so many uncertainties, so many paths to choose. What do you do? This is where the twelve years of careful training came in. This is where the responsibilities of being an adult came in. It was quickly, this realization. No longer were they kids playing hide-and-go-seek, or teenagers try- ing to outrun one another, but grown up and maturing young men and women, who held in their. hands the tools to build the worlds of tomorrow. 139 140 a be PEST BY rage resp Ads, Ads, and more ads ...
