What really goes on behind the scenes? There is a red brick building that stands ona hill in which there is always something going on. The average onlooker saw yellow school buses pull up to the school every morning from 8:00 until 8:45 A.M. Students got off these buses and went inside. But what went on after that? Capturing that inside story is just a matter of turning that building Inside-Out. Walking up and down the hall, sometimes as many as fifty times, awaiting the bell which signals the beginning of the day was a tradition carried on by almost every student. Of course, there were the others who just stood at the ends of the halls watching the others making their daily trek. One could deduce a variety of things by just watching. Who was in love with who that week, who had a test, and the shy one who walked without saying a word. There was another group of students who auto- matically went to their class when they arrived and studied or just had a rap session. Then there was the 8:45 bell, all went to their first period classes, some slower than others, but other than one or two, everyone made it sooner or later. After all were settled in, the principal delivered the announcements for the day. Another bell, another class, another subject and so the day went. As if programmed by time, students went on doing what the bell commanded. At the ring of the final bell, the students dispersed and gathered together again before it sounded once more to signal the end of the day. As in any school, reading, writing, and arithmetic were not the only things buzzing around in the brains of the students. The sounds of Michael Jackson, Boy George and the Culture Club, Van Halen, Huey Lewis and the News, and Lionel Richie rever- berated in their minds as they made their way to and from school. Dancing, in every form and fashion, came alive as people moon-walked (originated by Michael Jackson), popped, locked, and Breakdanced, which originated in ghetto street fighting. The movies; Footloose, Romancing the Stone, Police Academy, Greystroke; The Legend of Tarzan, and Sixteen Candles; were smash successes as well as the television movie, The Day After. George Orwell's book, 1984, became popular as the year finally came to pass. Many tried to draw correlations between his book and what was happening in world events.

Inside Out 3 Breaking Out The Inside Story Fashions and fads went into full swing as the students turned to mini-skirts, cropped pants, walking shorts, camouflage cloth- ing, and plastic shoes. There were some more conventional students who chose to don their blue jeans, tennis shoes, t- shirts, and oxford cloth shirts. A few of the boys turned to wearing an earring, while the girls gave themselves anywhere from two to five earrings per ear. In these holes were bright, large and colorful earrings. Hairstyles went to an over the ear, short, punk style on boys and girls alike. As you, the reader, go behind the scenes at Castlewood High School, do not let any special moments in the school year go uncovered. Capture the inside story. With the aid of this book, turn Castlewood High School “Inside-Out’”’ and see what it is that makes us so special. 4 Inside-Out Sy Always a teacher ...

There is one mind, in particular, that is hard to ex- plain. One area of this mind is hilar- iously funny. From imitations of the great bee killer complete with horn- rimmed glasses and bucket to jokes and comments about any subject at hand, this branch of this mind is con- tinually ticking. Let’s go on to another area, where all of the thoughts of car- ing and thoughtfulness go on. There is not a moment that this part of the mind is not functioning. It always has a task to perfect. Then we come to the serious part of the brain, it’s always working to make out tests, work sheets and those dreaded income tax forms. After investigating each part of this mind, it becomes apparent that this personality is very special, the mind of Mr. Jeff Sword. In order to be a good teacher, one must first care about what he or she is doing, and Mr. Sword does just that. Government class is not just some- thing considered by the students as one of the necessary evils of life. Mr. Sword makes sure of that. His class is like watching a combination comedy- information show where the star comedian is Mr. Sword who is giving out information on government and its intricate workings. None of the valu- able information is lost through his shenanegans, though. In fact, the stu- dents are able to learn more. Mr. Sword places everyone in a more re- laxed state, not necessarily talking and being rowdy, but students feel that they aren’t in a classroom where all they can do is sit and listen. They can 6 Mr. Jeff Sword get into the subject at hand by either enjoying the antics that go along with his teaching, or letting their view- points be known. Mr. Sword ts always ready to listen to how the students feel on a particular issue and heatedly discuss it. This personality doesn’t stay within the walls of 201, though. Mr. Sword takes on the monumental task of being one of the Senior Class Sponsors. He lends a helping hand when it comes to planning the events that come during this special year. Ordering caps and gowns, planning the annual Senior Ban- quet, and getting everyone down the aisle on graduation night are just a few of the responsibilities that he tackles. Perhaps his greatest offering in help- ing the Senior Class was when he donned a dress for the Mr. Senior con- The time is ... Mr. Sword keeps a close eye on the time at the Model U.N.

The reigning Mr. Senior was unable to attend, so “Ramona” took his place and crowned the new winner. He was eligible for this honor since he was first runner-up to Mr. Senior of 1970 at Lebanon High. Mr. Sword was also the sponsor for the annual Model United Nations. The personality expands itself even further. Teaching college government classes, taking care of the newcomer in his family, C.J., and raising a garden every year are a few of his enter- prises. Mr. Sword brings his special self In- side-Out, so that all can enjoy his nota- ble individuality. With laughter in our eyes and love in our hearts we dedi- cate the 1984 edition of the Castleton- ian to our own “Big Daddy Sword”. Hey, hey, hey! ...

Deep in thought of the past year the most vivid image on our minds were probably the faces. The faces represented so many different personalities, emotions, feelings, indifferences, ac- complishments, hopes and dreams, each one reflecting a differ- ent aspect in that special year. A new student walking in the halls, unaccustomed to the new teachers and unfamiliar surroundings may have used the many faces as a guide to the inner person. Of the many faces that existed was the face of tension of the young boy knowing the next exam decided if he would wrestle or not. A stunned and happy look was represented by the girl winning the regional award in forensics. The nervous faces of band members, standing on the side line with the anticipation and determination of a good performance during the half time show. The joyous and thankful face of the young woman who has just been crowned Miss Castlewood High School 1983-84 and had a year long reign to look forward to. The satisfied look of the girl who had just finished her Majorette or Cheerleader tryout and was pleased with her performance. The face of enthusiasm which was portrayed on each team members face as they sat quietly in the locker room planning their strategies for victory. The shocked and sad face of a senior who had realized that his or her high school years were coming to an end; and was facing the vast goals and winding paths of their future. And finally the smiling face of the new student who had just made a friend. All the many faces contributed something of great impor- tance to our high school careers. They turned the school Inside Out to show all the many emotions and feelings that represent- ed its people. The inside value of the faces was brought out so that we might use them to recall memories as the years pass.

If it wasn’t constructing a float for the Homecoming festivities, it was setting up the gym for a dance that they had spon- sored.

Eighth Grade 1I5 Of Buccaneers And Buried Gold As the sea rocked the ship, the pirate fiercely struggled with the treasure chest. When he heard the lock snap, he threw open the lid and what he saw astounded him. There in the chest were boundless treasures that would help him to conquer new worlds. The golden treasure was as important to the pirate as edu- cation was to the ninth grad- ers. When the ninth graders set forth to conquer their freshman year, they resem- bled the buccaneer of old. For the first time, electives were opened to them. Foreign lan- guages, world history, geogra- phy, and attending the voca- tional school were their new Bobby Allen Jeff Amos Robin Austin William Banner Missy Bise Sammy Bise Kathy Breeding Mark Bryan Lee Buckles Becky Burke David Castle Jeff Castle Johnny Clark Wendy Clark Eugene Collins Julie Collins Kevin Combs Keena Cooley David Couch Carolyn Deskins I6 Ninth Grade worlds to be conquered. And conquer them they did. The freshmen achieved com- plete control and advance fi- nancial preparations for the prom in their junior year. They took full advantage of their classes. At the end of the year, the foreign language stu- dents were speaking like French and Spanish pirates. Geography students were mapping out strategic plans to conquer any and all worlds. And the vocational students used the many skills they learned, by creating for- tresses in the mind to help conquer their opponents of ig- norance and poverty.

They come in a vari- ety of colors and sizes. Not one lifesaver is like a an- other. There isn’t one per- son alive who has not been involved with a lifesaver of one kind or another. The freshmen acknowl- edge their importance when they participated ina course in CPR (Cardio-pul- monary resusatation). Learning CPR was not an easy task but the students learned the techniques of how to revive the victim step by step.

Moments after the bell rang, an excited sophomore girl hurried out of the biology room, and down the hall where she stopped at a locker. She grabbed her Drivers Ed. note- book and turned to one of her friends. “Boy, my schedule really has begun to fill up this year. | have to reserve two hours tonight to get ready for my date. Then Monday, | have to order my class ring, and oh!, here he comes | hope he doesn’t notice all this icky for- maldehyde on my hands!” At the beginning of the year a new world opened up to the Lisa Adams Earnie Addington Jennifer Allen Sonja Amos Jay Austin David Bailey Jeff Baker Jeff Bellamy Jennifer Bise Lisa Bise Michael Blackson Patricia Boothe David Bradley Maggie Bradley Shelia Breeding Patty Brown Darrell Browning Eric Bryant Tammy Buchanan David Burke Sam Burke Robbie Cassell Rhonda Castle Sandy Castle Shane Castle 22 Tenth Grade sophomore class. Some were “finally” I6 and were going out on dates. Others were excited about varsity sports, and still others enjoyed the fields of education that opened up to them, such as Biology and Dri- vers Education. They really started to get that feeling of importance, but most of all, they began to realize the im- portance of their class and what it took to make a class. Each one had to put forth an effort to work toward the highest goals that made the sophomore class the best it could be. uN wy Finger-licken’ good ... David Gibson displays his enjoyment of food.

There was not a hint of motion. After due contempla- tion, the boy’s body made a ninety degree turn. Finally one lid squinted and opened slightly only to snap shut after a flood of light gushed in. When the boy had finally been convinced to obey, all that he saw was an overturned alarm clock. His eyes blinked shut again. That hidden force pushed until the boy reached for the timepiece. It read elev- en o'clock. He jerked the sheet over his head and tried to block out the grim realiza- tion that it was the first day of his junior year. He was late, but so what. What did we have to look forward to? It was just another year of the same old high school routine. That junior boy, as well as many like him, soon found what being a junior was all about. It was an altogether dif- ferent experience, not just an- other year spent behind a desk in a schoolroom.

Each moment was precious and had to be spent accordingly if this year was to be considered successful. The fact that after this year only one year of high school remained made the year even faster and busier. As usual, the junior participated in the nu- merous fundraising projects that accompany their rank. Funds were raised by sponsor- ing dances, candy bars and cookie sales aided their eco- nomic situation. Vending key chains was another source of income. During this time they managed to enter a Mini-float in the competition at home- coming, to turn their new class rings eighty-five times, and believe it, they even squeezed in that homework!

He was feel- ing a sense of joy, but a part of him was missing. The joy was that he would never have the uncomfortable ride again; but the part that was missing was something he knew could not be replaced. The last bus ride, the last practice, and the last time of being a part of the “family” at school was an _ experience shared by the seniors. They found it hard to believe that this was the last time they would ever do the things that had played a major role in their lives. Many things were on the agenda after school, though. Many of the seniors found after school jobs. Some took classes preparing them for college board tests. Others Curtis Wesley Adams Debra Lynn Addington Ernest Palmer Bartley Lucille Beatrice Bevins David Roy Bise Pamela Dianne Bise 34 Seniors took time to recuperate. Among all these activities, they found time to build a mini-float for Homecoming. They also won the spirit stick at the Homecoming pep rally and collected the most money for the spirit canisters. During the county elections, some seniors made the mock election seem like a reality. They formed the Democratic and Republican parties, cam- paigned, and held rallies. To make it more authentic, the faculty and the students regis- tered in their precinct. The seniors had their senior portraits made, went to the Prom and Senior Banquet, and had a day for recreation. They also ordered caps and gowns for the ceremony that would bring their high school career to a closing. Keeping the beat of the news ...

By examining the faces of many people, we daily make judge- ments based on their outer image. We greet faces in the hallway every day, often learning about the individual be- hind the smile as the year unfolds. Senior Superlatives were selected according to talent, personality, or achievements. They possessed char- acteristics which made them out- standing individuals. They were people you could depend on, the kid who made good grades, or someone who was always cheering the Blue Devils on. When someone had a natural ability, he was said to be talented. Kellee’ Stewart because of her vocal ability and Hugh McCarty for his instrumen- tal talents were named Most Talented. The seniors looked at many traits in their classmates before selecting the Most Industrious. They looked for signs of hard work and zeal. When ex- amining the characteristics of Paula Yorke and Randy Dixon, they found Paula and Randy displayed these quali- ties. Lisa Dingus and Bobby Fields were chosen Most Dependable. They showed their dependability by taking the lead in their classes and their clubs. Bobby was President of the Sen- ior class, Lisa of the SCA. Jill Elkins and Mike Powers planned their futures by taking classes which would help them in college. This was one of the reasons they were given the title of Most Likely to Succeed. For many, after school sports played a role in their lives. They enjoyed be- ing active and full of vigor. Melissa Farmer and Tony Davis were selected Most Athletic for participating in sports. Many liked to show support to the Blue Devil athletic teams. They did this by attending the games and cheering their team on. Two persons who demonstrated their spirit was Melissa Robinson and Nigel Trent. Missy, varsity cheerleader, and Nigel, captain of the wrestling team, were elected Most School Spirited. An Individuals personality is the to- tal physical, intellectual, and emotional structure including abilities, interests, and attitudes.

People scampered for cover as the deluge began. First one, then another, then all found themselves braving the rain in favor of what had become a tradition at such gatherings. Red clay flew like feathers from a chicken coop. The vi- brant colors of the summer outfits all began to take on the same hue, RED. Yes, folks, the Seniors were at it again. The Senior Day picnic ac- tivities were enhanced by in- stead of deferred by the rain that fell in buckets. In years past, the Seniors had been hard pressed to find a suitable mud hole in which to carry on their traditional mud fights, but this year Mother Nature provided ample waterworks to turn the whole area from the fieldhouse to the driveway into one giant mud puddle. The food, cooked by the able hands of sponsors Mr. Jeff Sword, Mrs. Linda Miotke, and Miss Lucille Kelly, was the preamble to the afternoon's activities of football, volley- ball, and frisbee, but everyth- ing took a backseat to the mudworks as the rain played right into the plans of these 50 Senior Day waterlogged, mud-caked Sen- iors. However, all was not fun and games. Their sense of re- sponsibility took over as the mops and buckets were pro- duced to cheerfully clean the mess they had made of the new fieldhouse, a first for any group of Seniors. Pre-rain ...

Senior Day 5| Painting The Days With Hues Of Love A line of cars began to pull up in front of the school. The Seniors and their dates entered the cafeteria only to find that it had been decorated as fashionably as The Tavern on the Green in New York. The bill of fare for the Senior Banquet covered several ta- bles and could be compared to any of the famous restaurants of the world. The magnificent appetizer and main course had been prepared by the ge- nius of Chef Josephine Bratton and her staff of superb chefs. The desserts, however, were the real treat. Potluck may not sound too envigorating, but this spread was garnered with the delicacies from some of the best kitch- ens in Southwest Virginia.

They danced to the sound of music presented by the C.V.C. Music Machine. The Seniors expressed their feelings about each other by dedicat- ing appropriate songs to their guests and friends there. As the evening came to a close the Seniors had experienced a night that would be cherished in their memories. The Senior Banquet was just one of the many occasions that painted the last days until graduation with the bright hues of love and laughter. during the Senior Banquet. Chow time ...

Their lives do not end at 3:15 each day. Their de- votion does not stop in the classrooms. They are always willing to help a stu- dent with problems. Also, they sponsor the many groups and activities that give the school its spark of life. All in all, a teacher is a special type of human being. He or she molds the student into what they are, and more importantly, into what they are to be- come. This responsibility is a huge one, yet he or she does it with unselfish- ness.

Being able to speak, read and write correctly is a must in almost every society. The English department pro- vided the students with this very im- portant tool. When they wanted to ex- ercise their ability to read, the library was open and filled with reading mate- rial relating to their studies or enter- tainment. After learning to speak, read and write English correctly, the stu- dents could venture even farther by studying French or Spanish.

Broadening the understanding and appreciation of the students’ historical heritage as well as the knowledge of other countries and the workings of our government were the functions of the Social Studies Department. World History, U.S. History, Geography, Ci- vics and Government were the fields of study. Laid back ... Mr. Larry Shortt relaxes during a grueling day's work. A search for the future ...

Here the business-minded students re- ceived the necessary preparation for a job in the wide world of business. Actors, actresses, artists and musi- cians must have a director. The Art, Music, and Drama Departments pro- vided these students with a way to express their talents. The Guidance Departments’ main duty was to help students with their educational, future college and occu- pational lives. The guidance counselors aided and pushed students in prepar- ing for and making decisions about their future. They also consulted with parents and teachers to help them in dealing with the students. The Special Education Department assisted in the education of the special and sometimes forgotten students of the school. A special curriculum was followed, covering the basics of such subjects as Math and English to help these students prepare themselves to face the future as well. Even with all of these other depart- ments, there had to be one that taught students the essentials of daily living. The Home Economics Department taught students to sew, cook, and hou- sekeep. For the farmers and wood- workers, the Agriculture Department was there to instruct, guide and in- form. Keeping physically fit, in good health, and being able to achieve the all-important skill of driving a car were things the students needed. The Phys- ical Education Department obliged them in these areas by offering Phys- ical Education, Drivers’ Education and Health. | followed the recipe, and it still didn’t taste right Harriet Jessee questions Mrs. Mary Lou Bevins as to how she can improve her culi- nary skills. 96 Faculty And Academies A clean sweep Offeral Keith and Roger Hale clean up after luneh Counting pennies Charlotte Tarwater makes every cent count Sidney Johnson Science Jane Jordan Choir, English Lucille Kelly English Charles Lowdermilk Civics, Math 8 John Wayne Martin English, Drivers Education Dudley MeCoy US.

The bus drivers transported a majority of the students to and from school as well as driving on school related trips. Once everyone got to school, they had to be fed around the noontime hour. The cooks satisfied the hunger felt by everyone as the day wore on. Seeing that cleanliness was next to godliness, the custodians swept, mopped, shined and polished the school. Running the whole kit and kaboodle was the principal and assistant princi- pal. They made sure law and order was kept every day. Behind every man there is a woman and in our school they come in the form of our secretary and bookkeeper. So now one can see that a teacher is not just a walking encyclopedia with a degree.

Many other activities played an important role in the lives of the students. Assemblies played a vital part in the students lives. Their purpose was to discuss school business and provide entertain- ment for the student body. Many events which highlighted another student activity were autographed T-shirts, spirit contests, and mini-floats — combined, all these make up Homecoming Week. The students ended this week with the annual Homecoming dance after the football game. The student body also made the holidays memorable. The students and faculty celebrated Halloween by dressing up in various and unusual costumes. The Drama Club awarded the best dressed student and teacher with a prize. Fundraising activities also required time and effort on behalf of the students. Bingo, darts, cakewalks? Was the school being turned into a carnival? This event was the Fall Festival which was to raise money for the school. A special occasion for Juniors and Seniors was the Prom. Talk of formal dresses and rented tuxedos echoed through the halls of the school. The girls were preparing for the long awaited prom, while the boys talked about expenses. Awards and still more awards. Both faculty and students flocked into the auditorium to give and receive the long cher- ished articles of commemoration for the schoo l term. For some there was a note of sadness, but for most it denoted a time of happiness and pride. As the year came to a close, the student body realized that ae they were not just bricks in a wall.

In the school building, the halls were filled with all kinds of weird crea- tures, ghouls, and goblins. They were all parading down the halls upstairs and down. Had our school become haunted?! No, everyone was partipat- ing in what was better known as Hal- loween Dress-Up Day.

The show began with the ever-popular haunted house, but those with weak hearts and squeamish stomachs should have stayed away, for this meant danger and terror. Those who were not as brave were not left out. A bit of “culture” was also offered. Yes, that’s right, down the hall and to the left, one could have enjoyed the melodrama, “Hisses and Kisses” presented by the Drama Class.

When he peered out the window at the clouds gather- ing overhead, his hopes grew high from the contemplation of a snowstorm. He could just imagine the cold air nipping his nose as he glided to a stop at the bottom of the hill. A vacation is nice anytime, but especially during the long winter when school becomes a monotonous routine. So, when an occasional snow day came to rescue the teachers and students from utter boredom it was looked upon wih im- mense pleasure for it gave them a time to do anything their hearts desired. The snow days were greeted with an- ticipation as heads were filled with thoughts of snowball fights, watching soap operas, and sleeping late.

But like any prolonged vaca- tion, boredom and restless- ness set in and the students and teachers were eager to return to school when the sun melted the icy roads and snow covered ground.

Anticipation was evident as chattering and nervous laugh- ter were heard down the cor- ridors. So caught up in the sit- uation were they, that no one was aware of the unfamiliar face. Unnoticed, the reporter was able to ask questions about the cause of the stimula- tion within the crowd. Q: “What is this Forensics?” A: Forensics is composed of a group of contests to train and encourage stu- dents to present speeches intelligently and truthfully on any suitable topic. Q: In what area are these contests? A: Prose reading, poetry, original oratory, extempo- raneous speaking, and spelling. each of these categories have male and female representatives except spelling which just has the one representa- tive that won the contest. Q: So this is what all the ex- citement is about? A: Yes! We students are en- thusiastically involved in Forensics. It gives us the means by which we can express ourselves and be- come recognized for our opinions. Q: How are these contests operated? A: Elimination on the individ- ual school level is first. Then, school winners go on to participate in the district competitions. First and second place winners on the district level are allowed to pro- ceed to regionals. Region- al winners then compete on the state level. Q: This sounds like an addi- tional sport. What is it considered? A: We like to go about it at the same rate of involve- ment, dedication, and en- thusiasm as if it were a physical sport. What is more, a competition is re- ferred to as a meet. It could be called an “intel- lectual’’ sport. The reporter left the school satisfied with the interview. He kept up with the results of the competition and found that the individual winners on the local level were: Mike Powers and Sharon McCamey — Extemporaneous Speaking. Jay Griffith and Susie McCoy — Poetry, Robbie Cassell and Krista Robinson — Prose Read- ing, Randy Dixon and Lanna Monday — Original Oratory, and Jennifer Turner — Spell- ing. As the reporter followed their progress, he watched them go on to place second on the district level. Individual district winners included Mike Powers, Jay Griffith, and Randy Dixon who all placed second, and first place win- ners Krista Robinson and Lanna Monday. In later issues, he reported that at regionals, the team brought home a trophy for their second place finish. Krista Robinson and Lanna Monday earned the right to compete on the state level with their first and second places, respectively. Randy Dixon placed third. As Lanna and Krista moved on to the state competition, he found that each one bene- fited from their participation and valued the experience. With further investigating into Forensics, he found that the one-act play received dis- tinguished participant awards on both the district and re- gional levels. The play contin- ued its success on the state level where it was performed in Charlottesville. Year’s Handiworks Harvest ood Vibrations There was a loud drum beat, and the entire school vibrated with the sound. Music could be heard from as far away as the footbail field. Mixing with the music were whistles, shouts, and loud applause. The student body was in- volved in one of their more uproarious assemblies. How- ever, this was not the only type of assembly that they had. Besides the rock con- certs sponsored by the school and the yearbook staff, there were also other more subdued gatherings. These included the Bluegrass concert and movies sponsored by the Stu- dent Cooperative Association. Included in the long line of assemblies, were the more se- rious ones. The $.C.A. candi- dates’ speeches took place in a very poignant assembly A Coke and a smile Free Fare imitates his version of a A member of 12 Assemblies which gave the candidates a forum to explain their reasons why they should be elected. The Drama class also enter- tained the student body with their many talents as the re- created their award winning one-act play, Games. The last assembly for the Seniors was also the one cho- sen traditionally to honor the year’s academic achievers, Awards Day. The two hour presentation recognized each winner in the style of the Academy Awards. Assemblies provided enter- tainment and a break from regular school activities. How- ever, most important of all, they provided memories that etched a vivid picture of the school year in the minds of all of the students and teachers. popular television commercial Do it with feelings Free Fare’s lead singer delivers and feels every Master of the strings ...

Who were these P.C.’s and where were they going in the middle of the day? These were the voca- tional students, but they wer- en't getting out of school. When they arrived at the Russell County Vocational School in Lebanon, the run of the mill educational exper- ience wasn't in store for them. They were taught the types of courses that would prepare them for the workaday world immediately upon graduation. For the Freshmen, there was a Trades Preparatory curricu- lum. Each six weeks they were offered a taste of a new course of study from building trades to auto mechanics to help them decide what trade area they wanted to pursue. Sophomores through Sen- iors sought diplomas in specif- ic areas. In a curriculum that offered Nurse’s Assistant, Medical Assistant, Cosmetolo- gy, Foods Preparation, Auto Body Repair, Auto Mechanics, Electricity, Electronics, Build- ing Trades, Masonry, Draft- ing, Machine Shop, Mine Main- 74 Vocational School tenance, and Welding; the stu- dents had a diverse method of planning their lives. In addition to their regular course work, they also partict- pated in the local, district, and state Vocational Industrial Clubs of America contests. Castlewood had its share of winners from the many who participated through the county. Those students who won their respective contests were: Mary Jane McReynolds — Ist place in state with Club Business Procedures, Greg Hale — Ist place district in Precision Machinery, Melissa Jessee — Ist place district in Opening and Closing Ceremo- nies, Deanna Hale and Teresa McCall — Ist place district in Talent, John Salyer — 2nd place district in Architectural Drafting, Darrell Salyer — 2nd place district in Electrical Trades, Ronald Hall — 3rd place in Bricklaying, Anita Woods — 3rd place district in Nurse’s Assistant, and Arvena Johnson — 3rd place district in Prepared Speech.

Vocational School 75 Standing In The Wings Of Elegance When she opened the door to the bandroom, a flurry of excitement and waves of ner- vousness met her. After she put her things down and fin- ished dressing, she went to the wings of the stage to watch the crowning of the Ju- nior Miss CHS winners. She saw Michelle Bush as she was awarded the trophy for Best Model while Sharon Kiser took the Miss Congenial- ity title. She watched dreams come true when Michelle Sil- cox was named fourth runner- up, Chamene Robinson — third runner-up, Ann Hileman — second runner-up, and Tina Salyer — first runner-up. She squealed as it became appar- ent that Angie Smith had won the title. Now it was time for her to go on stage. She was so glad when her three appearances were over, but what if they wanted to see them again? That would mean another trip across that ever-growing stage. Thank goodness! The judges didn’t need to see them again. She felt relieved that it was over. She lined up with all the oth- er young ladies for the an- nouncement of the winners by Mr. Steve Banner. Faye Dick- enson and Jill Elkins received the awards for Best Model and Miss Congeniality respective- ly. Then the eighteen girls were narrowed down to five. Her jitters began to multiply as the finalists were named: fourth runner-up — Re Re 76 Beauty Pageant Hayes, third runner-up Myra Robinson, second run- ner-up — Sharon McCamey, and first runner-up — Sherri Hileman. She felt all hope leave her body. She knew she didn’t have a chance now. She heard the number I2 called as the winner. She looked down at her gown.

It had been a hectic yet enjoyable day. The gym had been converted to a fantasyland of can- dlelight, stars and paper streamers. When she arrived, couples were swaying to the music in their color coordinated at- tire. She thought about the time spent pick- ing out her own dress and matching her date’s tuxedo to it. The theme, “Just You and I’, fit perfectly as the couples isolated themselves to spend time with the one they loved. Then the prom royalty was announced. The Prince and Prin- cess were John Long and Krista Robinson, while Ronnie Salyers and Rachel Osborne were crowned King and Queen. Then the crowd began to diminish and those few re- maining returned to dancing, dining, or just sitting. Just before sleep overtook her, she thought about the sagging streamers, melt- ing candles, and the romantic mood it all set. She realized it would be embedded in her memory forever. Prom Royalty ...

Prom 8l Hard Work Pays With Big The students filed into the audito- rium and waited impatiently for the Seniors to enter. Many looked toward the stage at the table of awards and hoped that all their hard work and dedication would pay off. For many, it did. Several students were presented awards or recognized for their achiev- ments in academics, the arts, or as all- around students. Recognized were our representa- tives to various summer programs and seminars. Tina Davis was saluted for her selection to the Hugh O’Brien Leadership Seminar, and Gina Tomlin- son, Krista Robinson, Donnie Turner, and Ashby Gilmer were recognized for their selection to Boys’ and Girls’ State. The Army Reserve Awards for athletic and academic excellence went to Jill Elkins and Nigel Trent. Awards Facing the end with a tearful goodbye ... Lisa Dingus gives her farewell to the students as she Dividends were given in the various subject areas. Among those, Dawn Bush won the Woodmen of the World History Award. In memory of Mrs. Stella Gibson, who taught eleventh grade English for many years, the class of 1963 initiated the presentation of a plaque for excel- lence in Eleventh grade English to this year’s winner, Krista Robinson. In the Journalism Department, the editors awards went to Betty Gray and Lisa Dingus. Besides the other Journal- ism awards, an honorary award was given to David Bratton for his unself- ish donation of time and help to the yearbook. The Citizenship Awards, given to two Seniors who exhibited above aver- age humanistic qualities, were given to Mike Powers and Pam Mullins. The last honors of the day were the turns over her office to the new S.C.A. presi- dent. awards for the Salutatorian and co- Valedictorians; Mike Powers, Jill El- kins, and Lisa Dingus who strived to be the best throughout their entire school careers. Before a standing, applauding crowd, they received their trophies and medals for being the best.

This is especially true among high school students. They feel the need to categorize themselves and other people into decisive slots. This is because of the insecurity most high school students experience as they search for their identities. One avenue that was open to them during their search was clubs. The variety of clubs offered the students a chance to get to know themselves and other students with common interest. Although some of the clubs remained dormant throughout the year, others were very active. Members of the more active clubs made the year lots of fun, not only for themselves and the rest of the student body but for little children and lonely, elderly people. The year was filled with activities sponsored by the various clubs. The Foreign Language Club added color to a dance by sponsoring the Mardi Gras. The Journalism Class invited bands to entertain the student body to raise money. The traditional White Christmas and Easter Egg Hunt, SCA projects, brightened the eyes of the children involved and the hearts of all who were in attendance. FBLA members attended many business contests and conferences during the year. They also played the role of Easter Bunny for the faculty. In celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ the Christian Fellowship Club treated the faculty and staff with an Easter Dinner. Visiting a rest home was an enterprise for the FHA. The Drama Class displayed their acting skills by the production of plays during the school year. At the end of the year, one leg of the students’ journey was finished.

It had begun to roll in September. Homecoming had bee n the first SCA sponsored project which took weeks of planning. Time went on and before she knew it, it had been time to prepare for the holiday cele- brations that included a dance and a banquet, but of course funding had to be acquired. She hadn't wanted to ped- dle the brass decorations, but it wasn’t that bad. Part of the money raised was used for the White Christmas. The beginning of a new year brought new projects. The Heart-to-Heart Computer Match had been a laugh for everyone. Preparing Easter baskets for needy children produced a sense of fulfillment. In the Spring, Amy Gray and Lisa Dingus attended the VSCA confer- ence. Amy was elected regional repre- sentative of the Southwest region. The school year ended, but the ser- viceable club was only recessed for the summer. It was over for her though, this had been her senior year, but she still had the memories of being a SCA member.

It was five minutes until the end of the half. Slowly, the young man at the head of the group raised his whistle and simultaneously clapped his hands for each blast. Quickly, the group moved forward onto the field ready to begin their show. All of the members of the band were familiar with this routine. It happened every week, but it wasn’t by acci- dent.

What's the point of having something if you’re not willing to work for it? The self-knowl- edge that you've participated in something that has made a difference in someone’s life, particularly your own, can be the most rewarding gift you can give yourself. The Future Business Leaders of America, Future Homemakers of Amer- ica, and Future Farmers of America all made a difference in their own lives and the life of the school by working to make a mark on the face of time. The FBLA began their year by saying thanks to the teach- ers with their annual tea. Peo- ple prepared goodies for days in advance to tease the pal- ates of each who attended. At Easter, the FBLA members donned the garb of the Easter Bunny to surprise teachers with candy eggs and bunnies during FBLA week. However, treats were not the only business of the FBLA. In November, Shonna Bush, Dawn Bush, Sandy Castle, Kim Johnson, and their advisor, Mrs. Linda Harris, journeyed to Mississippi for the Southern Leadership Conference. With spring came the _ traditional business contests in which many of the FBLA students were entered. The club saw themselves come away with many top honors in the Russell County and SW Virginia Com- Aprons? ... Terry Powers observes while Kevin Domby and Mike Austin mix it up. munity College Business Con- tests. The FHA worked their way to an eventful year as well. At Thanksgiving and Easter, FHA members brought some joy into the hearts of the elderly residents of the Rose Lawn Rest Home by paying them a visit and providing treats for the events. At Christmas, cer- tain impoverished elementary students were given a Christ- mas party to help brighten their holiday. In May, mothers and daughters were treated to a night out for the annual Mother Daughter Banquet. The FHA was also a driving force in the Russell Scott Fed- eration of the FHA. One of its members, Susan Mullins, served the Federation as re- porter for the year. In the fall, they hosted the Federation’s fall meeting and attended the Spring Rally held in Gate City in May. The FFA through the Natural Resource Management class participated in the soil judging competition and were on call throughout the spring to leave at a moment’s notice to fight forest fires if needed. Work was the common fac- tor that bound all three groups together for if there is no work involved in something it is often taken lightly. Our clubs of the future did not take their responsibilities lightly. Ly I'll take this one Kim Johnson gives Mrs. Linda Miotke an Easter treat.

Art And Drama 95 96 Dinner Is Served What do tacos and Italian cream cake have in common with turkey, and chocolate cake? They are foods that were served at two of the big- gest dinners of the year. Any- one can guess that the tacos and Italian cream cake were served at the Foreign Lan- guage dinner. The Christian Fellowship Club served the other dinner. The Christian Fellowship Club had two main events. One was the Thanksgiving tea for the teachers. Another was the petition to stop Madelin Mary O'Hara, who was sup- ported by the American Civil Liberties Union in her quest to remove prayer from schools. The Foreign Language Club really showed success this year. They won third place on their homecoming float and supported a child during White Christmas. Their big event was the Mardi Gras which was a great success. For two different clubs, they both had one thing in common. They worked hard during the year and had many successes to show for it.

On Wednes- days, this club did more than sit and talk, or sell things. This club was the Junior Varsity Athletic Club, and it was pure- ly an instructional club which helped young athletes prepare themselves academically for varsity sports. Each meeting focused on a different aspect of not only sports, but the many facets of school life such as time budgeting, and the importance of grades. This club aided its members in developing proper perspec- tives and setting their own priorities both on and off of the sports field. The highlight of the Varsity Athletic Club’s year was their Wednesday morning meetings and plans they made for ac- tivities. Hittin’ the books ... David Adams takes a study break. Studying?

The older students knew what was going on, the newspaper staff was selling school newspapers, but there was something new and different even to them. The newspaper had a new look to it. The name and de- sign had changed, not to men- tion the sponsor. It was no longer the Sentinel, it was now Mr. Gary Spicer’s Devils Scroll. The staff of the paper con- scientiously worked hard and diligently, even through the snow days, to get at least one paper out each month. The reason for that goal was that the staff sent their issues into a VHSL competition at which they were judged and criti- qued. The staff, which included Donna Burton, Suzy McCoy, Stephanie Bryan, Randy Dix- on, Kim Rose, Debra Adding- Prolific writers ...

Along with the help of Betty Gray, Editor- in-Chief, David Patrick, Busi- ness Editor, and Roger Martin, Layout Editor, they chose new topics for stories. Not only were school related activities reported, but national and world issues were also dis- cussed. Included were nuclear war, drug problems, in teen- age society and how Castlewood faired on _ the Scholastic Aptitude Tests (SAT). Controversial subjects were used, and an emphasis was added by occasional polls and questionaires. This al- lowed students to actually participate in the news.

Rather than just selling sub- scriptions in the Spring, the staff made the week Yearbook Week that fea- tured a dance. The Homecoming dance, carnations on Valentine’s Day, candy bars all Spring, bake sales on Election Day and at a local auction, cushion sales, and a raffle; all went to boost the budget of the $12,000 plus publication. The copy staff and layout staff be- sides sharing the duties of the various money making activities wrote and rewrote and drew and redrew. Frus- tration gave way to pride as Connie Hamric and Bobby Fields saw their re- spective staffs work their way to what they hoped would be an award winner. All the copy and layouts didn’t mean a thing if there weren’t pictures to tell the story. Kellee Stewart took on the task of taking rolls and rolls of pictures and working with the professional pho- tographer, Mr. Elmer Phillippi. The total responsibility for the en- tire book rested on three people. Edi- tor Lisa Dingus at times resembled a chicken with her head cut off as she ran from task to task solving problems as she went. Ms. Sandra Norris, the advisor, and Josten’s representative Danny Boring fielded those problems that seemed to be out of the ball park and worked through them to do their parts in creating a lasting memory. As the end of school came and went, some of the staff worked into the sum- mer to tie up the loose ends and per- fect the book. All was done to keep the book from being compared to the dreaded book of Elmo P. Snodgrass Memorial High. Once upon a time in a school far, far away, a yearbook that was anything but perfect was produced by a staff that didn’t care about their work. From then on the school’s name struck fear into the hearts of all yearbook staffs. The mere mention of Elmo P. Snod- grass Memorial High brought night- marish thoughts of poor layouts, bland copy, and trite, uninteresting themes. The ever present fear of having that piece of copy or the layout upon which you had worked so hard come back to you with a big ELMO written on it was one that plagued our staff all year. The term devised by the creative mind of noted yearbook authority Col. Charles Savege always meant “Sorry, do it again.”” However, the staff knew to have the type of yearbook they all would be proud of would take patience and several rewrites. Spurred by a disappointing second place rating from the Virginia High School League for the 1982 book, the staff became determined to better the book in all phases from layout and copy to budget and photography. To prepare the book financially, the staff led by Melissa Robinson and De- dra Wright worked on the traditional projects of selling ads and subscrip- tions, but new projects were added to Business first ...

Yearbook 103 INSIDE-OUT A Sport For All Seasons Plus One Inside and out, practice sessions were completed through the rain, wind, sleet and hot hours of sunshine. Before the new school year started, dedicated athletes had already begun pre- paring for the season. The football team, during what was sup- posed to be the “cooler” parts of the day, practiced play after play and drill after drill. However, persistence was not just a trait of the masculine gender. The girls’ basketball team also got a headstart on their season by practicing during summer days and occasionally on a Saturday. Although neither team’s win- loss record was any cause to celebrate, the athletes still gave 100%. The once welcomed breezes now caused nostrils to burn from the chill, and along came the season for the all-weather athletes. Practices were held indoors regardless of the condition. The boys’ basketball team, the wrestling team, and the girls’ volley- ball team all braved the elements to attempt practices. The time was filled with shooting foul shots, shedding pounds, and set- ting the volleyball against the gym wall. At the end of the winter sports season, there was a whole new beginning. Spring was coming. There would actually be sunshine again. Wrong! The weather was never dependable. One day the teams practiced on their respective turfs. The next day, due to a sudden change in the weather the track team would move indoors; the junior varsity baseball team shared a corner of the gym with the tennis team, and the varsity baseball team would move to the new fieldhouse. Contrary to the rain and cool weather, the sun did eventually come. Life was beginning to renew itself as some new lives began. Girls softball came to life when 47 girls showed up to tryout for the newest addition to spring sports. Though the fledgling in the nest, the softball team were runner-ups to the district crown. 104 Sports Divider Oh no you don't! ...

The varsity football players showed they had de- termination as they came back to win the final game. Each player was awarded for his effort.

When the _ volleyball was returned to her side of the net, the girl waved her teammate off as she ran with determination toward the ac- tion. With her head tilted back, she moved into position and awaited contact with the object of her attention.

Even though the modern trend was wearing mini-skirts, the girl was wrong in assuming she would go unnoticed. She and seven other girls that made up the football cheer- leading squad led the students in chants and cheers at the pep rally before the game that Friday evening. The girl had been nervous; this had been her first pep ral- ly, but once the cheering had begun, she lost all thoughts of her blue and white mini-skirt. Appearance was not the only quality which concerned the squad, and a late night game had been known to dam- age looks. Grades had to be kept up to par in order to re- main on the squad. The most important characteristics of the cheerleaders was persis- tent spirit. This year there were two separate squads, one in the fall and the other in the winter. It was hard sometimes to keep smiling and cheering when the team was down, but both squads did their jobs to the max. Whether cheering on the basketball and wrestling teams, or the football team.

Trees fell. Dirt was moved from here to there and then back. Football practice was moved to the elementary playground. Baseball practice was moved to the Senior League field. Games were played away or on a borrowed field. Why all the commotion and disrup- tion? A new sports complex, consist- ing of a new fieldhouse, baseball field, and football field, was in the works. Though the construction began in the Fall of 1982 and was completed in the Spring of 1983, the facilities weren't used until the Fall of 1983. However, by the time of the first kick- off, both players and fans agreed the long awaited additions were a great asset. The new complex provided a better quality for both the football and base- ball fields, storage space for equip- ment and a fieldhouse closer to the field complete with lockers and show- er.

There was a certain group of people that really let the Devil inside of them come through in their own way. They were the doers in one part of school life — athletics, forensics, and one-act play.

Index 135 INSIDE-OUT Community Support Is Essential Public Support is very important and vital to any kind of organized group. Without this support, the organization could not function for lack of funds and notoriety. This is especially true for a yearbook each time an ad is sold, a donation is taken, or even a hand is given in regards to the staff’s effort. One not only supports the staff and school, but the whole community. We would like to take this time to thank each and every person who has contributed to the production of this yearbook. Your support is greatly appreciated; and we would like to give you a standing ovation for your support and helping us to bring the Inside Out. 136 Ads Divider Purr-ty kitty ...

The speaker, Dr. James Martin president of Virginia Intermont College, expressed many ideas _ for which the Seniors could never find words. In his delivery, he emphasized many good char- acteristics such as truth, con- fidence, and independence which would affect them the rest of their lives. Dr. Martin showed them the two roads in life from which to choose, one of success and one of failure. Dr. Martin’s ex- ample of success was the life of Terry Fox, the young Cana- dian cancer patient who died in his attempt to run across Canada to raise money for re- search on the disease that so plagued this young and prom- A Fond Farewell ...

His example of a failed life was the young per- son with the same opportuni- ties as Terry Fox, but who chose to live his or her life in the pursuit of alcohol, drugs, and life in the so-called fast lane. It was time for them to make their choice. Once de- cided, there was no turning back.

Goodbye And Hello Tears began to sneak down the flushed cheeks of the Sen- iors in place of what should have been expressions of en- thusiasm and delight. It was what they had worked for and what they had always wanted. It was their day, but many could not accept the fact that their high school days were over and becoming vivid memories. Many Seniors were saying goodbye forever to the people they had grown up with and come to love as a family. For many, it meant a new style of life and new beginnings as they went their separate ways. They had reached a goal, which in the eighth grade seemed almost tmpossi- ble to reach.

After the heart rendering speeches, the main event had arrived. As the names were called, the Seniors crossed the stage and reaped the rewards of years of study and hard work. Their diplomas were single pieces of paper with priceless value that paved the way for a new adventure, and for some, a different outlook on their continuing lives. It was time for them to march out of high school more grace- fully than they had entered it with their heads high and proud and an eye toward the future.

Graduation 169 ——————————————— People Breathing The Year To Life Taken behind the scenes of the school, many moments of laughters, tears, pain, and jubliation were uncovered. It would be virtually impossible to capture every special moment in each students’ school year. Turning the school Inside-Out was just a tool for the students to expand their personal memories. The year unfolded before each and every students’ eyes as they delved into the book. It brought to surface the “family” of people that make up the school.

It was a tremendous job to turn the school Inside-Out to bring to life the prevalent happenings of the school year. The job that is still yet not finished belongs to each member of the “family” at school. To determine what really makes the school special, one must examine the feelings and emotions that rise within us.
