At the first of the season when we were rated last in the league, we set a team goal of reaching the state play- offs, but we went beyond that and set school records for best win-loss record, most points scored in a sea- son, and fewest points allowed per game, summarized Coach Dave Zumwalt. The Indians went into the play-offs against Osborne with an 8-1 record. Since we were down 15-0 at half-time, I told our team we were going to find out if they were 'men or mice', said coach Zumwalt. Hoxie scored three touchdowns in the sec- ond half for a 19-15 dis- trict victory. The Indians won the Regional Championship with a 12-6 victory over Atwood in overtime as Steve Dietz rolled out and zig-zagged in for the score. The Silver Lake Sub- State score of 8-7 brought Hoxie’s record to 11-1. Little did Zum- walt know that a two- point conversion would be the margin of victory. HHS’s most success- ful season on the grid iron ended in the pour- ing rain at Augusta with a 12-0 loss in the class 3A finals to Douglass.

Everybody who bought a shirt was auto- matically a member of the Booster Club. Stu- dents did a good job wearing their shirts to the events. For Parents' night the Booster Club and Cheer- leaders helped make photo buttons with the players picture on it for all the parents to wear during the play-off games. At the Football play-offs they made helium balloons and released them on Hox- ie's first touchdown. Also during the play- offs the Booster Club sold 90 Big Red and 1 buttons. Art classes. Booster club members and cheerleaders got permission to decorate windows downtown. Mr. Barnes and some art students made a 7-foot number one to take to the games. “Thanks to all the will- ingness of Parents and Kids to wear our colors and come to all the events the year turned out to be a very success- ful year,” said Mrs. Bette James sponsor.

The 704 seat audito- rium has housed audi- ences attending movies, concerts, lyceums, plays, civic meetings, religious meetings, graduations, and area organizational meetings to name a few of its first year uses. A vocal music room and a band room have aided the HHS music program. The two girls’ dress- ing rooms and girls' physical education office have taken a strain off the old facili- ties. The many new educa- tional and community opportunities this facil- ity produced this year made it well worth the inconveniences of con- struction during the '77- 78 school year. A. The area was fenced and trees were removed. B. The footing trench was dug. C. Foundation is completed west of the gym. D. Foundation forms were erected. E. Part of 16th street was blocked due to construction. F. Several new signs appeared. G. It took a lot of steel to reinforce the foun dation. H. Finally the crane arrived to put the rafters in place. I. After the roof was fin- ished a lot of work still had to be done inside. J. The workers installed an efficient heating and air conditioning system. K. On Thursday through Sun- day evenings movies are shown. 147 Speech Students Take the Stage The speech and drama stu- dents made use of the new auditorium this year. Besides the junior play The Egg and I”, The Star-Spangled Girl and A Night of Plays” were presented to the community. Included in the Night of Plays” were three Improvised Duet Acts by Penny Vernon and Joan Schieferecke, Steve Coleman and Mike Mense, and Deb Weeks and Monica Neff. Each I.D.A. was a short act with very few props that had to be made up by the two actors upon receiving a topic to base their play upon. Neil Simon's Star-Span- gled Girl was a three act play including three students. Steve Dietz and Rodney Mauck played the parts of Andy Hobart and Norman Cor- nell, two struggling journal ists. Patti Currier played the part of Sophie Rauschmeyer, an All-American girl from Arkansas. Benny Rosell coached each presentation. A. A. Mr. Rosell gives advice to the cast of The Star-Spangled Girl . B. A-l I did was bite her ear- lobe . C. If yew'd do something physically repulsive, we'd both be better off. D. Andy tries to be physically repulsive. E. “Besides the fact that you think I'm a crazy lunatic, is there any chance of you falling in love with me? F. I just wrote zizzivivitzzl!” 148 A Ready, aim B Fire!!!

H. 151 The journalism class feels it is time to explain again the true meaning of Winter Count and why it was cho- sen as our yearbook title back in the '68-’69 school year. Hoxie’s yearbooks were called the Sheridonian until 1969 when the name of the school was changed from Sheridan County High School to Hoxie High School. Kathy Wasserman submitted the name “Winter Count in a contest to rename the yearbook in 1969. The reason Winter Count was chosen was because it is a picture record of the plains Indians’ activities throughout the seasons. It was kept in the form of a series of pictures painted on a buffalo hide. The Kiowa calender pic- tured above covered a period of 37 months (from July, 1889 to July, 1892). The picture was obtained from the National Anthropological Archives of the Smithsonian Institute. Now that the slow process of forming a yearbook is done, the time has finally come to close this year’s Win- ter Count. I hope that we have given you, through this yearbook, fond memories of Hoxie High that you will always look back on. The goals and achievements that HHS reached made this an outstanding year. I would like to thank the senior editors Danielle Ochs and Janice Koster and photo editor Dave Harwerth for all they have done to create our yearbook. Special thanks goes to Mr. Brook, our advisor, for backing all of our ideas. Thanks also to the junior editors Karen Rietcheck and Pati Currier for helping to complete this year- book. “Live for today. Strive for Tomorrow.” (Sr. motto)
