We're only los- ing one senior so our four returning starters will be back.

We, the editors of the 1977-78 Winter Count, would like to thank our staff for all the help and coopera- tion they have shown us through the past year. We hope that we have captured some of the high- lights of the school year. It is sad to realize that this year is over and the fun times past. But there are sure to be many more ahead. Hopefully, through this yearbook we have preserved a part of the 1977-78 school year and moments from the lives of the HHS students. Winter Count 1977-78 Editors Sheri Spresser, Stephanie Baal- man, Jane Haffner, and Ruth Porsch. The Proud Chief He stood there motionless as he had for the past hour. He was a tall Indian, very well built from many years of hard work in the forest. His weathered face showed his seventy years of age in sunken cheeks and deep facial lines. But now he stood tall, clad in soft deer skin pants and shirt. On his head was the headdress of a powerful chief, for it contained many feathers of the mighty eagle. The redman stood with his arms folded across his chest, looking down from the cliff over the valley that he had once ruled. But now the earth below was neatly plowed in rows of green crops, and fruit orchards grew around the fields. As the chief gazed downward his sunken eyes saddened; he was recalling the forgotten days. How happy they had been! He had led his braves on many hunts, and every time they returned with buf- falo meat and hides. With war paint on his face, he had led his braves against the invading enemy, usu- ally raiding Blackfeet from the north. His warriors were never defeated in battle, for the old chief's medicine was very strong. He had counted coup many times in battle, and had killed many of the enemy. He had sung to the great bear, whose huge claws now hung about his neck. He had raised four sons, and all had become great warriors. Then the white man had come. The old chief’s eyes narrowed in hatred at the thought of what they had done to his land and his people. They came and killed all the buffalo, pushed the black Iron Horse westward, and defeated his people in unfair battles. Now as he gazed downward, his eyes became moist, and a single tear fell down his old cheek. He knew he would never again see the buffalo in herds that would stretch to the horizon, or have battle with the vicious Blackfeet. The white man had taken that all away with his thing called progress. Yet still, the man on the cliff stood tall. For, if anything, this man was still a proud chief.

Never again will you be with all your friends having one of the most special times of your life. Now as you look back on that last prom, you can only remember and cherish that spe- cial time. You can’t wish it back, for in wishing it back, it would no longer be that one special prom, but just another day in your life. Written by: Carol Thompson A Kind of Love I watched her as she walked slowly back and forth in the kitchen. Her hair was gray and pulled back into a convenient out-of-the-way bun. Her face had a resigned look about it with no expressions of happi- ness or sadness — just one set gaze. Her body slouched, as if overworked, but yet she kept going — back and forth — never ending. I gathered that she was fixing dinner. The aromas smelled so good that I went towards her to ask if I could help. But a long, bellowing voice beckoned her from the next room, demanding his dinner. I lis- tened for her to shout back and maybe tell him off. But she didn't. She only mumbled a few words of resignation to herself and some words of reassu- rance to him and kept on moving — just a little bit faster. The only sign of annoyance was a deep frown that formed on her forehead. Her body looked so fragile and worn out that by the time the table was completed, I thought for sure she would collapse. I heard her soft and low voice calling for her husband and I watched her bow away as he stomped in and sat down. I expected her to sit down too, but she didn’t. Instead she just stood there, looking expectantly and worriedly at her hus- band. After taking a few bites of everything he mumbled the word, “Good”, and motioned for her to sit down. A look of surprise overcame her so quickly that she straightened up and looked at him, her blue eyes opened wide. Then, for the first time, a smile of con- tentment spread across her face and she sat down and began to eat.
