Prom, Graduation Among Spring Activities After much debate as to where grad- uation ceremonies were to be held, Rickards graduated 250 seniors on June 11, 1971, at Capitol Stadium. The stadium was being remodeled so ceremonies were scheduled to be held in the gym. However, many sen- iors disagreed with this arrangement. They wanted to have it at Capital as was traditional and also they wanted to invite more people than was possi- ble to fit into the gymnasium which was five per senior. The seniors won out and graduation was held at the stadium. , .it rained! The highlight of many senior's last year, the annual Junior-Senior Prom, was held on lVlay 21 in the FSU Stu- dent Ballroom. Given by thejuniors, it was a success as many juniors and seniors attended..

Memories Many memories will linger in the minds of Redskins this year as they reminisce about the activities of the '71-72 school term. The activities of the year began as students cast their ballots for Homecoming Queen and her court. Homecoming festivities also includ- ed a parade, pep rally, and the big game. Other honors bestowed were Miss Valentine Ball, Boys' State, DAR Good Citizen of 1972, and others. Honors ranged from achievements gained scholastically to those accomplished from beauty. As the years pass, the memories of this year will linger as well as accomplishments that are left be- hind to let everyone know that Rickards has a lot to offer to those emerging from the darkness to a better world tomorrow. l 67
