Yearbook Sees Campus from View of Tree The live oak in the bus drive was the focal point for the theme of the 1973 yearbook. The large oak was thought of as the learning tree when the editors planned the theme. On jan. l9, the tree was officially named a Heritage Tree by the Florida Forestry Service, at the suggestion of the yearbook staff. A plaque was placed on the tree and a new Heritage Tree was plan- ted in front of the school. The old tree was the only tree left on the campus when the school was built. Palms were planted in front when it was landscaped. This was the first year that the Anumpa was sold for 55. The low price was set in hopes that more people would be able to afford the book. After the bargain day the price went up in stages to the final 58. Yearbook staff members attended the Florida Scholas- tic Press Association district meeting in jacksonville in September and the state convention in Daytona in May. Associate editor Kay Fletcher was elected student direc- tor or the district at the jacksonville meeting. lRightj Doris Havri- lak, Sue Haywood and Ricky Goudeau, curriculum, help Debra Brookins and Diane jefferson, ac- tivities, with their layouts. fRight Be- lowj Gloria Belim, Mary Miller, Terrls Spradley and Diane Bevis classes, work on files.

VT .Q kj X 452 Quill and Scroll Taps Qualified Journalists How many more inches do l need? Let me write that story! Questions and statements such as these came eagerly from candidates for Quill and Scroll, the inter- national honorary society for high school journalists, as tapping time for the Rickards chapter neared. Eight new members were tapped in November by the six holdover members from last year. Others were added in March after they had had a chance to meet the re- quirements of the honorary group. Newspaper members were required to have 100 or more inches in print and to have served or be serving on a staff. Yearbook mem- bers had to have met a yearbook page deadline and have served in an outstanding capacity on the staff. One new member had served the previous year as magazine edi- tor. All had to have at least a 2.5 overall average. The first initiates took the vows of Quill and Scroll at a candle light ceremony at the home of sponsor Mrs. Margie Cash. Afterwards they had a covered dish supper. In the spring the group again supervised the publica- tion and sale of the Senior Class Prophesy. Mainly an honorary, however, the Society's purpose was to try to better the publications at Rickards High School. Sharon Edwards, feature editor of the newspaper, served as chairman of the society. lLeft abovej Stephanie Cay, Mary Rae and Linda Fillingim admire the awards the publications have won in past years. fLeftj Diana Hadi, Kay Fletcherg Stephani Cook, Kar- en Peeples and Gary Menzel take their Quill and Scroll vows at an initiation covered dish supper at Mrs. Cashs home early in Decem- ber. fNot Picturedj Terran Ragans.
