  • Hawk Football Team Keeps Playoff Hopes Alive

    Oct 13, 2022

  • Voices from the Past

    Oct 13, 2022

    October 13, 1922 Take Me Back to Powder River Out where the hill tops meet the sky And the sun beams down all day; Where the gold old Powder River, Goes slowly on its way, Out in the cattle country, The land I love the best, Is a little three-roomed shack, My little home in the west. CHORUS Take me back to Powder River, To my homestead on the plain, Where at noon the landscapes glitter With fields of golden grain, Where alfalfa’s purple blossoms Give a perfume sweet and rare, Take me back to Powder River, And my little homestead there. 2. I...
