The young woman who lived in a shoe Vickie Hayes rotates her sneakers at a track meet Conquering Life Time and time again each of us tries to Conquer some aspect of life whether it is something we want to do or something we have to do. Sometimes just being popular or friendly is not enough. That is when a person must find other ways to prove his or herself a winner. Some of us participated in sports such as basketball, football, softball or track. Nevertheless, athletes often found that in order to be the best, it takes long hard hours of practice. For those who were not interested in strenuous physical activi- ties, there were business and math competitions and or- ganizations such as FBLA, FHA, and 4-H. The year progressed slowly at first, but by the end of the first semester, if seemed like the pace had picked up and the year was disappearing rapidly. The most important factor acquired during the year was learning to cope. Sports, academic classes, clubs, organizations, special student activities, and experience was what a student's life was all about; however, regardless of how easy some- thing may have looked, it was never as easy as it looked.

Teacher, Teacher ... From a piano concertist to an English teacher; from a choral director to a soloist; from a teacher to a friend; that is an underestimated description of the ‘wonder woman’ of music. Coming to the school with all of her talents and exuberant personality, Ms. Jane Jordan has helped put together one of the most outstanding high school choral groups in Southwest Virginia. The story does not end there, though. Ms. Jordan not only leads the choir, but she teaches several English classes as well. The idea of the “dull and grouchy English teacher’’ has been reformed to the fanati- cally funny and fantastic English teacher,’’ as a result of Ms. Jordan’s personality. Being one of the most outgoing and friendliest individuals is certainly never as easy as it looks; however, Ms. Jordan continuously shines with her bright personality to add a touch of light and a bit of laughter to everyone’s day. We, the yearbook staff of 1986-87, dedicate this edition of the Castletonian to Ms. Jordan because of what she is, but most of all because of how much we love her. Lanna D. Monday You did it ...
