During the year fences appeared around the various points of interest to hide the prep¬ arations for the bicentennial. Preparations at Hayfield didn’t require wooden fences but often the planning and construction took place behind closed doors to insure the element of surprise. Behind the closed doors of the auditorium the drama productions took shape; crews con¬ structed sets, the musicians practiced, and the actors memorized and rehearsed their parts. Within the locker room the teams discussed the game strategy and prepared themselves mentally for the upcoming competition. Within the confines of the art department various persons secretly constructed the two Hawk mascots presented during the Homecoming pep assembly. Different groups and organiza¬ tions built their own fences and when they were finished it benefitted Hayfield.

Teams chose their players and practiced continually, perfecting their plays and skills until the final game. Football practice began in August and long, strenuous practices con¬ structed a team with the ability to beat the best. Halftime shows presented by the marching band, majorettes and drill team required re¬ petition of each formation time and again until they reached perfection. Practice began in the summer and a week of camp provided the necessary training. A special bicentennial pre¬ game show highlighted the Homecoming Game events, and the American flag was constructed before the eyes of the spectators.
