Becoming Involved . . . Part of learning is knowing about not only school and community affairs, but also about state, national and international events. ln December, Rickards students followed the flight of Apollo 17 which was to be the last manned flight to the moon for several years and the last Apollo flight. Hijack procedures began at Tallahassee Municipal Air- port and in other airports all over the United States to cut down on the number of hijack attempts. The 1972 Olympics were followed by some, among them many hopeful of participating in the 1976 games. The tragedy which ended the games not only shocked the world, but left them wondering if anything could be done in a hopeless situation. The whole purpose of the Olympics, to bring nations together in congenial com- petition, was shattered by this one thoughtless action. Rickards students became involved in the 1972 elec- tions as Nixon and McGovern stickers were seen all over the campus and on the bumpers of cars. Nixon's land- slide victory causcd a few hard feelings, but these were lost quickly in other activities of the year. As in the past few years, Rickards students kept up with the ecology movement. Aluminum can drives, more service club trash cans and cleanup campaigns around school showed that Rickards students were be- coming aware of what they could do for their country by cleaning up their own little part of it. As peace talks resumed in january, after heavy bomb- ing in Vietnam, Rickards students, along with the rest of the nation waited anxiously for the peace that seemed so close and was finally signed jan. 27.
