,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..
