Castlewood, Virginia 24224 Title Page 1 Peal n Intro i vs As we look back over the year and the events that have taken place, it is obvious that “It Takes a Certain Kind of Cool’ to man- age the changes that fave oc- curred. Since the beginning of the school year, students have had to deal with many adversities, such as contaminated water, the flu epi- demic, and the discontinuance of school dances. Although these events seemed disastrous, the school as a whole still stood proud. The students managed to excel in academics, sports, organizations, and most importantly, student life. It is often remarked that “your high school years are the best years of your life.”” This becomes even more important with the in- volvement of student-related ac- tivities. Academics is a most important tool in the growth of a student’s AL Centain Kind of Yeon ; life. Whether it be art, history, or even physics, a student's learning capabilities are never ending. The- ses students even furthered their education as they participated in numerous math, science, and busi- ness competitions. The sports program is also a very rewarding part of a student's fife. Athletes work long and prac- tice hard and, although the seasons may be slow, these great students h old their heads high. The reward comes when this hard work produces a winning season and finally a championship for their great endeavors. Whether the year was full of success or full of surprises, both students and faculty realized that “It Takes a Certain Kind of Cool’ to represent the school with such dignity. Christina Phillips Assistant Principal ... Ath- letics Director ... Hall Monitor ... Former Coach ... Adviser ... Friend. Rarely do you find a person qualified in so many areas. Fortunately, here at CHS, we have a man who handles all of these jobs and more. Mr. Dennis Hen- sdifl, our Assistant Principal, is this man. Although Mr. Hensdifl is a ref- atively quiet man, he possesses a great deal of wisdom and knowl edge. He is helpful as well; aff you have to do is ask. Mr. Hensdiff’s pleasing smile is something you're sure to meet as you stroff — or dash — down the haf. In his easy-going manner, he cares for the students and is ded- 4 Hensdilf icated to CHS. For these many reasons, we would like to dedicate the 1989 Castletonian to Mr. Dennis Hensdifl our Assistant Principal. It takes “a certain Rind of ded- ication and personality” to deal with the events at CHS and Mr. Hensdill certainly has what it takes. DEDICA TIO May I help you. . .

Another aspect of our school is the recreation. This can be found in both social functions and competitive mental activities. Student life gives usa look at all the extra-curricular activities that take place at C.H.S. There is an abundance of such events and this is� possibly the best way for the students to keep sane. It takes a “certain kind of social fife” to create a school that has it aff. 6 Student Life CHRISTMAS ¢ PROM ¢ MISS CHS AWARDS Student Life 7 So Happy! ...

Fans sat and huddled on bleachers that were littered with empty styrofoam cups. As the team took its place on the field, the phrase “a certain kind of cool’ became a reality. The cold temperatures, howev- er, seemed to have little effect on the players. In spite of uncom- fortable conditions the team ex- perienced its most successful game of the season, defeating the Hol- ston Cavaliers by a score of 28- Zi.

Many celebrate the birth of Jesus and others enjoy reunions with families and old friends. However, for some people, Christmastime can be a time of hardship | due to unemployment or other unfortunate circumstances. It is a tradition here at CHS for the SCA to sponsor the White | Christmas program. Each home room gathers money for a needy boy or girl and selects a few students to buy presents for them. When the day finally arrives, the children are brought into the school during (unch time and ‘Santa’ and students visit with the children and help them unwrap their presents. The joyful smiles and bright faces of the children fill the whole gymnasium with joy and laughter. This, we realize, is the true meaning of Christmas. a a onya Layton ARREST RET MRR IS AARNE Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue | February 14. Just another day at CHS? Hardly.

All those things sound too good to be true on any ordinary day of the week, but on prom night anything can happen. The theme of the prom was “When I’m With Yow’, and the colors were black, white, and silver. The juniors outdid themselves as usual and the gym was transformed into a parquet floor. Anita McCamey and Doyte Chaffin were revealed to be the prom royalty for the evening. Following in their footsteps were Robert Jessee and Katrena Smith as Prince and Princess.

Only the ones who work the hardest to achieve these goals are recognized during the ceremo- ny. The student body watched as special quests from the community attended the ceremony to help with the special presentations. The plaques, certificates, and med- ’ als were presented to those stu- dents who worked to their fullest in order to stand above the or- dinary. There is much to be gained by working toward ambitious goals and receiving recognition on this day is only the beginning.

Going the extra mile to - get a good education, is not an easy task; some students might consider it a job. Here at CHS, an excellent academic record is a tradition. Hundreds of bright students have passed the most difficult classes and fun- dreds more are yet to come. It has often been said that the children are the future. Castlewood High School can certainly be proud of producing such a large number of students who will go the extra mile. This type of contribution is sure to improve the future of America. LuLu Osborne . A Part of Speeche? “Another book report?” “How many vocabulary words?” “Write a paper on what?”’ These are only a few of the daily exclamations which may be heard emanating from the rooms of the English department. Like it or not, students at CHS are given a hefty five-year dose of grammar and (iterature in the hope that bits and pieces may actually sink in.

They prepare each and Kevin Castle every student for the years to come with the basic information needed to survive in the numerical world.

People interested in the business aspect of life take such courses as Account- ing and Consumer Math. Newer incoming students are introduced to high school math courses with Math 8.

As students prepare for college, they take various science courses to help further their education. In Science 8 and 9, the students study and examine the earth. During their Sophomore year, many students taking Biology dread the moment of dissection. Then during their Junior year, several students went one step and took Chemistry. These students quickly leaned that Chemistry equals pain, suffering, and an immense amount of studying. Finally, only the bravest of the brave have the courage to venture into Physics their Senior year. This group consists of seven seniors who quickly discovered what “‘work’’ is all about! Students may not admit it, but science is a vital part of our everyday fives. It takes a “‘certain kind of Chemistry” to master the sciences. Just a Little More ... Mitch House watches as D. J.

Whether you are in Sci- ence 9, Physics, or anywhere in between, you are required to do a science project. For many students, this eriment is counted as a portion of their six weeks grade. Since this is only the second year Castlewood has had a Science Fair, the idea is still relatively new to most students. However, aff etait faced the challenge avely and many emerged vic- torious. The winners of the school air proceeded to county compe- eg Those w ho “tthe att progressed to regional, The elite few who placed at regionals were promoted to state and even na- tional levels. D. J.

Although many students moaned, groaned, and complained about aff the hard work, hel all feamed a great deaf about their gk study area. I suspect some of them even enjoyed such a task, ut, rest assured, they wouldn't admit it. The Science Fair has been incorporated into the search for higher academic qualities. Whi still in its experimental stages, the idea fas taken root and proved to be a successful af-‘‘fair.”’ This goes to show it takes a “‘certain kind of brain’ to be a student at CHs: Science Fair 29 A Desire to Succeed Several students fere at C.H.S. know they have far to go in life and they want the best out of it. Their solution? A business course. Not only do these classes ftelp them along their way through col- lege, but they also aid in preparing the students for later fife and the world of business. Many classes are offered in the business de- partment, and student — depend- ing on their goals — are free to pick on choose. Typing, Ac- counting,and Office Technology are some of the courses students can take. Also, there are computer classes designed to benefit future business men and women in to- day’s high-tech world. No matter what courses the students may choose, they would all agree that it takes a “‘certain Rind of drive’’ (as in disk) to strive for the finer things, as well as reach their goals.

What if the student does not want to go to college? Students need to take courses such as U.S. History, Government, Civics, World History, and World Geography to complete a well rounded education. These courses teach more than just history. They teach us not only the importance of our free- dom, but also how we gained it. They also teach us the faws of our state and nation, the legislative process, and the specifics of the judicial system. So, you see, the history of the future generation is recorded each day, reflecting the changing at- titudes within our culture. We stu- dents find that the study of history connects us to the generations that went before and to the ones that are to come. Tonya Layton O.K.

However, for young men and women who wish to lear about resources, carpentry, and woodworking, it is a bare necessity. Mr. Roger Sluss begins the task of teaching students these skills in the eighth grade and may continue throughout their high school career. Many people do not realize how valuable these classes may be to students wishing to enter the world of agriculture directly out of high school.

It has been a tradition for the upperclassmen to make fun of, humiliate, and torment the eighth graders. This year, though, the class of ’93 came in with the self-confidence and the determination to make it through. Yes, there was a (ot of teasing, but not enough to discourage them. It seemed to never bring them down, but served only to give them more spunk. It takes a certain kind of determination to make it through the eighth grade obstacle course.

They find it difficult to get to class on time, to remember their locker combinations, and to find the right classroom. It seems that the most difficult challenge is making new friends. As the year has progressed, this challenge has grown smaller. Classmates have met each other and their friendships have grown stronger. Their main goal is to get the idea across to upperclassmen that they are not just eighth graders, anymore, but they are an important part of the student body. After all, “it takes a certain kind of stamina’’ to take all that is dished out to the eighth graders, with the hard times and the “put downs.’”’ They obviously have the cool to handle it. 46 Eighth Grade What a day!

There seems to be a desire planted in the minds of the young ninth grade class to get ahead. Even though they have a few more years before graduation, most are concemed with their futures and their plans for achieving their goals. They have eamed more respect than they fad as eighth graders, and as they move on to their remaining years in high school, they can look back and truly say, “It took a certain kind of cool to get us through.” William Deel Rebecca Dickenson Shannon Dishman Anthony Dotson Regina Elam April Faber Amy Fields Misty Francisco Steve Franklin James Grizzle Alice Hale James Hall Freshmen 49 50 Melita Hall Tracy Hall Callie Harniff Missy Hicks Susan Hicks John Hurd Connie Jacobs Alex Jennings Scott Jessee Kevin Johnson Heather Jordan Luke Keith Safina Kennedy Nathan Killen Candida Kiser Donnie Lawson Melissa Lee Johnny Long Sandra Marshall Stacy Martin Dewayne Massie Gary Maxfield Marsha McReynolds Andrea Meade Freshmen | Edward Meade Tony Meade Daniel Monette William Monk Andrea Mullins Aimee Narron Cynthia Osbome Randy Osbome Tabitha Osbome Efizabeth Osbome Justin Phillips Kay Phillips Linda Phillips Lisa Phillips Mark Phillips Tyanna Phillips Joey Powers Allan Proulex Michael Ring Molly Ring Robin Ring Roger Robinson Rebecca Sands Russell Scarberry Freshmen nl De Freshmen John Shortridge Katrina Shortridge Randy Silcox Heather Skeens Chris Smith Jamie Smith Cynthia Steffey Lori Stone Jeff Street Matt Sykes Amie Taylor Eric Thomas Angie Vicars Melissa Vicars Leslie Watson Jill Whitaker Shane White Wendi White Laura Woffe Anthony Woods Billy Woods David Yeary Karrie York a sed i) Kevin Johnson and Eric Thomas enjoy a faugh at the funch table.

What would the future hold? Would one become a nurse, me- chanic, or a lawyer? As the year passed, they were excited about ordering class rings, participating in varsity sports, dating, and most important, getting their driver’s l- cense. They would then be ready to enter the adult world of driving. (That means I’m staying home. Have you seen some of them in the Driver's Ed. car?) This will begin the Sophomores’ climb up the ladder to adulthood, and the first step is learning how to accept responsibility. In essence they are learning that it takes “‘a certain kind of attitude’ to become an adult.

As they anticipate their senior year, it is evident that their hopes and aspirations are more within reach. Many Juniors with enough credits will go to summer school and graduate early. The rest will remain and graduate together. Some may go to college and some may not. However, one thing is definite. With the determination, knowl- edge, and that certain kind of desire pos- sessed by the graduating class of 1990, they will all go far. Sitting Pretty ...

Salyer Michael Kevin Woods Kathryn McDaniel DePreist Frances Neece Hale The Coolest of the Cool As we travel through our high school years, un- derclassmen often regard the Senior class with admiration and maybe a bit of awe. This feeling arises from eve- rything that the Seniors symbolize: growth, maturation, and most importantly, freedom. Underclassmen also think “Wow! The Seniors have it made nine more months and they're out of here!”’ To say the least, we do not have it made. There are so many things a senior must do: choose a college, choose a major, fill out applications, take SAT’s, order announcements, and prepare for graduation, just to name a few. With all these things to do, the seniors themselves might consider their own lives as awesome. Everyone agrees that it takes a certain kind of cool to be a student at CHS.

Had someone forgotten to take out the trash? Curiosity prevailed as the speaker, Rev. Doug Sterrett, from the Lebanon Pres- byterian Church, stepped to the podium. Only after the sermon began did the audience realize the usefulness of the garbage can. Rev. Sterrett began a most exciting sermon which included kicking the can off the stage where it rolled into the feet of the startled Senior class. The Seniors remained enthralled in his challenge to them to fave a deliberate plan for their fives, which included deciding what objectives they want to achieve, investigating them thoroughly, and then setting out in pursuit of a meaningful fife.

They proved to everyone that they had the determination and self-confidence to pull through with a winning season. Though the team had a couple of rough times with some of their district opponents, they managed to overcome their difficulties and eamed the respect of the Castlewood fans. Coach Randy Poole and his assistant coaches, Jofin Sabo and Joey Long, spent long hours with the team at practices and by themselves planning their strategies for the upcoming game. Due to their dedication and hard work, we can easily say that the CHS girls basketball team has the “Certain Kind of Ability” that it takes to excel in the Castlewood Athletic Program.

Riding Out The Storm At the beginning of the season fans said, “This year’s basketball team will be awful’, or, “Why go to the games?” However, the 1988-89 boys’ basketball team proved these critics wrong by having a successful season. They displayed several no- ticeable qualities such as never quit- ting until the final hom sounded and just performing well with the amount of experience the players fad.

A. Major Surprise At the beginning of the wrestling season, Coach Lee Bush's Blue Devils wrestling team was expected to finish with a very dis- appointing season. The wrestlers got the fast laugh. With much pride and the willingness to win, the Blue Devils came away with a “triple crown,” the Hogoheegee District title, the Region D title, and the prestigious V.H.S.L. Group A State Wres- tling title. This is quite an impressive showing from a team with only three Seniors. The grapplers had impressive showings in both the Hogoheegee District tournament and the Region D tournament, winning both by working as a team. They used this concept to the fullest, thus helping them over the top, and capturing the state title. The following wrestlers are the state champions in their weight class: 112, Stephen Caudill; 119, Spud Phillips; 140, Shawn Dean, and 145, Tony Bush. Jeff Hillman, 171, finished with an impressive fourth place finish. Every single member of the wrestling team was very important in every way, by helping their teammates in practice, or helping win important matches. They worked together as a team and they have eamed the title “State Champions.’ Kevin Castle Focused on the action... Coach Lee Bush Take Down. . .

The team showed they could maintain their balance during a see-saw season which saw the team in a must-win situation in order to win the district crown. The never-say-die Blue Devils rose to the occasion by forcing a game against Chilhowie for the regular season title, in which the Blue Devils came out victorious. This also insured a spot in the Region C tournament. In the Hogoheegee District tournament the Blue Devils were beaten in the semi-finals against Patrick Henry. Then in the first round of the Region C tournament, they were beaten by Grayson County by a slim margin. The positive outlook for the Blue Devil team is that every single member of the team, including several first team all-district members and Hogoheegee District player of the year, Mitch House, will be returning with the drive to leave their mark upon the great records of Castlewood Baseball.

This season was no exception. The Lady Blue Devils finished the year with a 23 and 2 record. Forfeits were sometimes a way of getting these victories. The team was led by four seniors who helped establish a successful program at Castlewood. Mary Lou Varney, Jennifer Ramsey, Crystal Smith, and Melody Bush led the team with the leadership and stability ff needed for a successful season. The season went quite smoothly with only two losses against Grayson County. | Then in the first round of the Region C Tournament, The Lady Devils were beaten in a close game by Perry | McClure, in which the score was 5-3. | Next year there will be many retuming lettermen from this squad and they will continue to keep the | tradition going, adding yet another chapter into the realm of Castlewood Softball. | Kevin Castle Waiting to strike. ..Katrena Smith What should we do now. . .Coach anxiously awaits the pitch.

They grew and developed with each meet, which definitely helped gain valuable ex- perience for the lower classmen.

BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS The CHS Blue Devil Marching Band has accomplished many successsful feats this year. It all started one hot, blistering week in Athens, West Virginia, on the Campus of Concord College where band camp was held. This is where the CHS band field show was carefully constructed and completed. The Blue Devil Band traveled to the annual Virginia Tech Band Day where they performed with about twelve hundred other band members. The spectacular halftime show included a fifty- eight piece tuba fine in which Brandon Helbert and Brent Dingus took part in the playing of the “Hokie Pokie.”’ The band’s hard work and determination paid off when they received a Division I rating at both the Lonesome Pine and McChesney Band Festivals at Wise and Big Stone Gap, Virginia. None of these accomplishments could have been done without the guidance of one man — Mr. Michael Brown. Mr. Brown is more than a respected band director; he is also a friend. With all of the blood, sweat, and tears that goes into this band, it takes a “certain Rind of heart’ to make it all come together. By: Brent Dingus Approaching Showtime ...

Robin Dean Drama 12 Ko) Getting it Together To an outside observer just glancing in the door, Journalism class may seem to be a somewhat unusual class party. Amist a flurry of papers, pictures, and layout sheets, the students dash around the room in an almost chaotic state. However, there is a method to the madness. In actuality, the Yearbook staff is working diligently to produce a book that will be different from its predecessors. Hours upon hours of time and effort are spent in making the new 130 Journalism yearbook look and sound appealing and the staff willingly (most of the time!) puts forth the effort and really gets things together. Although the tailend of the book had to be finished during the summer and earfy part of the new school year, the staff did a fine job making the new Castletoni- an, which was once only a sketch on paper, a reality.

Some of the happenings could be fescribed as energetic, controver- sial, health-threatening, newswor- thy, shocking, and decisive. Events which captured the atten- tion of people throughout the na- tion were the local strike of the United Mine Workers Union against the Pittson Coal Group, the election of our forty-second president George Bush, and the protest of students in China which attempted to bring the government down. Babe The Yeon In Review On the entertainment scene, the hottest movies were Rainman, See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Pet Sematary, Cocktail, Coming to American, Batman, and Field of Dreams. Artists blaz- ing up the charts were George Michael, Bon Jovi, Tone Loc, Def Leppard, Guns and Roses, and Paula Abdul. Basically the year of 1989 had its moments of triumph, of trag- edy, or desperation, of success, and the fulfilling of many dreams and desires. coe siesta sila Ta: ARAMA RAMA AD A AMMAN PAPAL ALE sai 133 ADVERTISEMENTS A Helping Hand This is perhaps the most important sec- tion of our book.

This young woman is Angela Michelle Ingle who died of cancer in June of 1984. Angela was a dear friend to many of us and she would have been a member of the Class of 1989. All of those who knew fer miss her, and this page is devoted to our fond memories of her. Angela was a beautiful person and she will five on in our minds forever. i Le aati Apprehension-that’s a good word to describe the feeling each of us had on that hot day itt August when we retumed to school once again. The eighth- graders had it really bad; they didn’t know what to expect. Even the seniors, the “‘coolest’’ students at CHS, were apprehensive about the changes this year would bring. However, as the days passed ever so slowly, things calmed down and we all began to relax and enjoy (Is that possible?) our days. As the relaxation set in, so did our “‘coof’ attitude. You know, the one that develops as we share hours upon hours with our best buddies. Our cool atitude totally replaced all those feelings of apprehension. It helped us find the good times in the worst days and find some sunshine on the cloudy days. It was moments together like these cool’ to be a student at CHS. Surely this attitude will follow us wherever we go. Robin Dean a 158 Conclusion that made us realize it truly “‘takes a certain kind of “Cool” School Days and Hot Summer Nights Mr. Banner seems (ost in thought as he searches for the appropriate words during an assembly. This is it ... Melody Bush and Dwayne Tumer ruefully discuss the shortening days of their Senior year and the sense of accom- plisment that accompanies the end.
