We feel that considerable gains have been made in all of the sports fields this past school year. Without the coaches, though, none of this would have been possible. Therefore, we would like to say a personal thank you to the coaches. 3 HHS STRIVES FOR INDIVIDUALISM TABLE OF CONTENTS Activities Organizations Sports Administration Faculty Classes-------- Boosters - - 7 - 19 - 39 - -57 - -61 - -75 - 96 6 ACTIVITIES The Junior Class Presents: REST ASSURED — Directed by; BENNY ROSELL A Comedy in Three Acts Mr. P.

I hope the seniors will look back on this year with pride for the things they have accomplished.

You students should be proud of the many ac- complishments you have made in this school during the year. It is a pleasure to be superintendent of a school with such fine facilities and an outstanding group of students and faculty to work with. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the people in this community for their fine support of our schools. 1 would like to wish all of the seniors the best of luck in the future.

They were usually around when someone asked for ”a janitor” Cooking our meals for us were Mrs. Patmon, Mrs. Haffner, Mrs. Jacob and Mrs. Ackerman.

In- vesting 10,000 fictitious dollars in the stock market was one of the highlights of Mr. Killen's introduction to business class.

Essential to Our Education Mrs. Percival taught Reading I, II, III, and IV. In her classes she stressed the importance of practicing the reading, listening, and writing skills.

S. 1940 73 rrWinter Count99 to be New Name of Yearbook The yearbook was renamed this year because of the change in the school name. Since the school is no longer Sheridan Community High School it is not fitting to call it the Sheridonian any longer. Winter Count was the name submitted by Kathy Wasserman in a contest to name the yearbook. This is a record of an Indian tribe's activities throughout the seasons. It is appropriate, therefore, to call the Hoxie High record of 1969 Winter Count. In Journalism Deb Briery served as editor of the Tom Tom Tribune, Kay Transue was business manager of the yearbook, and Bonita Geist was editor. As we finish the 1969 Winter Count we use Winston Churchill's words to express our thoughts to the underclassmen about their high school education. RICHARD L. REINKE McPherson College A.
