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.
