,I .15 Morris White starts his day off right by eating a nutrititional E ,. 'M-is breakfast from Rickards cafeteria breakfast program. Rlckards Starts Breakfast Program This was the first year Rickardshad started a break- fast program. The total cost of a breakfast was 15 cents for students and 25 cents for faculty. Students who were on the free lunch program received free breakfast tickets along with their lunch tickets. Students on par- tial pay lunch paid only 10 cents. Breakfast consisted of fruit juice, cereal with milk and chilled fruit. On cold mornings it consisted of hot toast and milk. Breakfast could be purchased between 7:15 and 8 a.m. each day during the school year. One main reason for starting the breakfast program was that so many of the students and faculty didn't or couldn't take time to eat a nutritional breakfast before leaving home for school in the mornings. v ' '--f..

i x , tf.- . a ix H552 X X Student Life As the 1972 school term resumed, new teachers and incoming students adapted themselves to the flexible scheduling. The first few weeks of school were a little rough with the dif- ferent schedule changes being made. As everything resumed a normal, everyday pace, students began to par- ticipate and involve themselves in extra-curricular activities at school as well as in the city. The 1972 election year brought out- side activities for Rickards Redskins. Many involved themselves in cam- paigning for the candidate of their choice. A few of the Rickards seniors had a chance to tally their first vote. Posters were hung around the school and badges could be seen pinned to many campaigners. Clubs and organizations also had a busy year. They competed against other clubs to determine which club showed the most school spirit during the year. The Varsity Cheerleaders sponsored the contest and the club with the most points was the winner. Points could be earned by selling bub- ble gum, hanging up posters to an- nounce all upcoming games and events and participating in an all day cleanup campaign around the campus, spon- sored by Student Government.
