Laboring zealously, the Hawks launched full speed ahead into a week overflowing with Smear Dev- ils activities. Symbolizing the spirit of each class, spirit chains were formed, as individuals and groups contributed a dime for each link. As the week progressed the chains lengthened and by the conclusion of the week the freshmen and seniors were in close competition. Awaiting nerv- ously to discover who would receive the S538 dollars collected, both classes held their breath as each chain was unwound during the pro- ceedings of the pep rally. As the last chain was stretched out, it was clear that the seniors had taken the lead. Hat day was a first at Hardaway in the l973 Homecoming festivities. Gaily ornamented beanies, helmets, and various types of hats were worn as a testimony of Hawk spirit. Being restored after a two year absence, the bonfire was met with gusto by the students. Chants and cheers invigorated supporters and aroused spirit for the game the fol- lowing night. Saturday afternoon, spectators lined the streets from Cross Country Plaza to the school to view the pro- cession boosting the Hawks. Dis- playing the most creativity and origi- nality in their float, the freshmen captured first place. At 7:30 Saturday night Hawk fans, past and present, assembled into the Phenix City Stadium to watch the pregame activities. As each senior candidate was intro- duced an air of anticipation rose as the question of who the queen would be dwelled in each individual's mind. The announce- ment came and radiating with happi- ness, Amy Cartledge accepted the crown. i Simultaneous with the kickoff hun- dreds of red balloons were emanci- pated, floating up into the black sky until they were no longer visible. Though the game was disappoint- ing, the l973-74 Homecoming will be one to remember. KEN Lunceford, sophomore, proudly wears his Smear Devils hat during Homecoming Week activities.

Yes very enioyable prosper- ous and memorable ones. Not really. Yes, except for a few teachers. The last two years have, because l've become more of an individual with a mind of my own rather than a follower of some other classmates. No, l guess so, but my most enioyable times have been completely unassociated with this school. l've had some - fantastic times and most of them have been when involved in school sponsored activities The peo- ple l've met and friends made at Hardaway have made these four years mean a lot to me. ls too much emphasis placed on athletics? No, more emphasis needs to be placed on girls' athletics, Yes! Football, yes. Track, tennis, golf, baseball, and basketball, no. No, l don't think there is enough emphasis. Easy Living 2l
