Memories of success Of days that long have gone Often give us courage When other hopes are flown. Memories of old loves We never can forget, Though in life's later years Other loves we have met. Memories of old friends Are very sacred, too, And sometimes we long for The friends that once we knew. Life is full of memories As time rolls on its way, And the present shall become A memory, too, some day.

Deadlines! Deadlines! Has everyone handed in their pages? These words were frequently spoken by Mrs Eland this year! But the journalism class of 1987 pulled together just in time to get the yearbook to the printers! When the year began we were all amateurs and Mrs. Eland was expecting a baby. While we all anxiously awaited Bradley John Eland's arrival, Mrs. Reed substituted for Mrs. Eland the first nine weeks. By the end of the year we all had valuable experience and knowledge, and Mrs. Eland was proud of her bouncing baby Bradley! It was a lot of hard work for all of us. but we did it, and we're very proud of our ac- complishments. Yes, 1987 is the year, and journalism is the class we will all remember for many years to come!

Twenty-seven girls were present at the first practice, but the team ended the year with only 23. There were four returning lettermen: Sharon Schaffer, Susan Reedy, Michaela Niblock, and Missy Cooper, with Denise Haffner earning a provisional letter. Nine girls returned as varsity players to make the team stronger than ever. The girls had a fantastic opening game beating Hill City 60-39, which gave the coaches a chance to substitute in all of the varsity players and a few junior varsity players. Their next test of strength was the Castle Rock Classic at Quinter. The girls had a fine showing, losing only to Wheatland first round, but coming back strong to take 5th place beating Jennings and Quinter. From that point on, the girls had a rough season, losing four players to injuries. After losing three games and winning only one, the team travelled to Oberlin for the annual Oberlin Invitational. They started out strong beating Brewster 42-38 and Sharon Springs 45-40. In the cham- pionship finals the girls lost to Cheylin 47- 30, earning them the second place trophy, and two girls, Denise Haffner and Michaela Niblock, on the All-Tournament Team. In the first round of the Sub-State Tournment the varsity team lost to Cimar- ron 65-32 in a hard fought game that took out Sharon Schaffer with a broken nose. The junior varsity team had a winning season, with a lot of experience coming from a few sophomores and some juniors who played some valuable quarters in var- sity games. This year was one of the first years in a long time that the girls team had enough players to have a freshman team. Although their games were few and far between, the girls did the best they could in their first year. Coaches Pontious and Biegert were pleased with the final statistics of the year, having 790 total points, 207 offen- sive rebounds, 378 defensive rebounds, and 59 blocked shots. Coach Pontious commented that “It was a fun year. The girls went out with the attitude that they were going to do the very best they could, and be satisfied that their best would be good enough. They gave 100 percent in practice and in every game.” Michaela Niblock goes up over her Quinter opponent for one of her 198 rebounds for the year.

Now we have one more year to add to the list, '87. The first blizzard hit late Sunday night, March 22, closing all roads leading out of Hoxie. Blizzard conditions prevailed all day Monday and Tuesday with the snow con- tinuing to fall heavily and the winds blowing strongly causing huge drifts. All schools in the areas were closed by Tuesday morning and all area events were postponed. By Wednesday, people began to dig out. The digging was very slow, and strenuous, but somehow they managed to make it. As there were no roads open leading into Hoxie, there were shortages of food, mainly bread and milk. Following the March 22-24 storm, was one even more powerful that struck Friday evening, March 27 and didn’t let up unitl Sunday morning. Predictions of an oncoming storm had those who were able stockpiling their shelves with food, and those who weren’t able were just trying to make the best of it. No one imagined that a storm more vicious could follow so quickly after the first one. Visibility dropped quickly and it became impossible to travel anywhere due to the drifts that were quickly forming. Many people were stranded in their homes and some in homes that weren’t their own. Bliz- zard conditions raged all day Saturday as the wind continued to blow on the average of 39 miles per hour, with gusts sometimes rising to 56 miles per hour. Little could be done to care for the livestock or clear roadways with the visibility remaining nonexistant until Pine Street on the north side of the school after the first blizzard. Sunday morning. A total of 20-24 inches of new snow had fallen during the last blizzard, making the total accumulation for the two storms around 56-60 inches. It took the county crew a half day to get to their equipment so that they could start clearing the roads for the travellers. Once the crews got on the road, long, hard hours were put in due to the lack of employees. There were a number of calls where medicine was needed and the road equip- ment had to be concentrated in those areas just to get to the persons. Roads were closed throughout the state with all of western Kan- sas traffic at a standstill throughout the weekend. Schools were closed from March 23-April 2; a total of eight school days were missed, causing the seniors to come back for two more days to make the hours required by the state to graduate. It took many days, and many hard hours to clear the city streets and the highways. The snow was still visible quite a few days after the storms stopped. For the children, this will be a real experience to tell to their future children instead of a story that was passed down from generation to generation.

This award is given on the percentage of students that participate in all of the assembly. The Tomahawk was made in 1974 by Vic William, a student in Mr. Smith's wood class. It is once again time to explain the meaning of Winter Court and why it has been the title of our yearbook since 1963. Hoxie’s yearbook was titled the Sheridonian until the name of the school was changed from Sheridan County High School to Hoxie High School in 1969. In a contest to rename the yearbook Kathy Wasser- man submitted the name Winter Court.” It was chosen because it is a picture record of the Plains Indians' ac- tivities throughout the seasons. It was kept in the form of a series of pictures painted on buffalo hide. The Kiowa calender pictured above covered a period of 37 months (from July, 1889 to July, 1892). The picture was obtain- ed from the National Anthropological Archives to the Smithsonian Institute. Old Alma Mater Faithful and true-hearted — let us boost for Sheridan High. We'll revere her and defend her — as her colors proudly fly. We will stand for her united, of her deeds we'll gladly tell. Her colors streaming — glad faces beaming. So here's a cheer for her that we all love so well. Joyous — and ever loyal — let us boost our Sheridan High. Let every heart sing. Let ev’ry voice ring — there’s no time t sigh. It's ever onward — her course pursuing. May deceit ne'er — her ardor cool And united we will boost for her our own high school. Current School Song Hey Indians, Yes. that’s it just shout it out; We've got the best, best team without a doubt! We've got the boys and girls to win the game; We're gonna make that hall, that famous hall of fame! We've got the royal colors red and white! We've got the boys and girls with spirits bright, or So, its no wonder that we're proud of our Hoxie High, Rah, Rah, Rah! H-O-X-l-E HOXIE! 126 History Looking Back at H.H.S. Faculty History 127 THE BUILDING ... THE WAY IT CHANGED The first term of the Sheridan County High School, which was made possible by a special act of legislature, began Sept. 14, 1903 with only 21 students and one teacher, R. G. Mueller, who was also the principal. The first sessions were held in a small addition of the city grade school with planks for desks. In 1904 Miss Hazel K. Smith was employed and in 1906 another teacher, Mr. F. 0. Rindom, came to Hoxie. In 1907-08 two tennis courts and two basketball courts were added; one of the courts was furnished with regulation goals. Tuition was free to all pupils of the county, but a fee of $2 per month was charged to all non-residents. By the end of the 1908-09 school year, there were over 600 volumes in the library, and only 16 units were required to graduate. During the summer of 1910, the first high school was built by District 19, and could accomodate up to 150 students. The new school was considered the best equipped secondary school in western Kansas. In November 1921 the school buildiing burned down; the fire was thought to have started in the engine room. The loss was only partially covered by insurance, there being about $6,000 worth of coverage on the building. Had the city installed the waterworks system, the building could have been saved and a loss of $30,000 to $40,000 could have been prevented. School was held in the courthouse during the reconstruction. After the new grade school building was completed, the classes for both grade school and high school were held there. By 1922 the new high school, which is the present building, was completed and the classes for the high school were moved to the new building. The stadium project was approved in 1936, and the Vocational Agriculture building was submitted as another improvement for the school. By the end of 1937 the Vo-Ag building was completed. In 1951, the gym- nasium was completed, with the seated capacity numbering 850. The gym included a stage for class plays and dressing rooms which were located in the basement. The rest of the building also received a face- lift. New wiring and plumbing were put in. The home economics room was extended to include several kit- chens, and the office was moved to its present location next to the teacher’s lounge and conference room, which used to be the old science room. The library, which was formerly the old gymnasium, was completed on March 12, 1953. The space that was the balcony was made into the new science room and a student lounge. What was the student lounge is now the social science room and the science room was extended. There were many more improvements made on the school during the next 25 years including the bus barn and dressing rooms and the auditorium, which is also us- ed as a theater for the people of Hoxie and the surroun- ding areas. The building has changed immensely since that first day in September of 1903. The students only numbered 21 and have now grown to around 170 just in the high school and are expected to grow considerably in the future. Nov. 1921 — just a few hours after the fire that destroyed the high school built in 1910. 128 History The Changing of Styles 1910’s sophisticated look straight skirts, draped across front high neckline for tailored look 1920's shorter skirt simple jersey 2-piece dress untrimmed chiffon for evening wear 1930‘s slip over dresses-no trimming mid-calf-skirt long evening clothes hostess gowns, party clothes spectator and active sports clothes 1940's shirtwaist dress Overalls longer skirts — miniature waist full skirt 1950’s petticoat with full skirt cinched belts and shirt tops, trapese dress” 1960's 2-piece dress with high natural neck hiphuggers. miniskirts shift dresses, hot pants with white boots, pleated skirts. 1970's blue jeans, bellbottoms. plaids. 1980's trench coat, denim skirts, jeans jackets, printed sweatshirts, flannel shirts, pleated jeans, oversized sweaters, shirts, jackets, Hawaiian shirts, tanks, jamrns, swatches, fashion boots, stretch pants, tennis shoes. knickers socks with fancy fold- down tops dress jacket seamless golf hat knickers Oxford bags” casual dress suits baggy trousers pleated waist flannel shirt Oxford laced shoes slacks Tweed Sports Coats white (colored shirts) scaffs, felt hats, loafer and black patent shoes Slim trousers jackets, sweaters, jeans with bottoms rolled up short sleeved white t-shirts, white socks, penny loafers, ducktails hiphuggers. bellbottoms, tucked in shirt with belts, dramatic change in hairstyles. blue jeans, plaid and checkered pants, wide ties, shirts with wide lapels, white shoes. 501’s.
