Black History Week,'7'lM'n 9 Snow, Two Big Events Each year Afro-American History Week is celebrated by people of all races and nationalities in the United States. This year, for the second time at Rickards, interested students displayed a showcase of famous American Blacks during the observance which occurred in February. Mrs. johnnie Lee, director of music at Florida A and M University gave the students a brief idea of what music was all about, how and where it began. She entertained by letting the audience listen to music ofdifferent types and of different times in history. The students showed interest by patting their feet and hands to the beat of the music. For a little laughter two of the guys got up and began to dance to the music. Another February event startled and delighted most Rickards students who exclaimed, Snow, I don't believe it, when they found snow on their cars and a light blanket of it on the ground, Feb. 10. Families gathered to have snowball fights, to make snowmen, or even to store some of it away in their freezers. This was the first time since Feb. 13, 1958, that it had snowed in any measurable amount in Tallahassee. Many citizens who saw the snow in 1958 were able to see snow for the second time in the Capitol City. fRigh tj Snow can be seen on lawns ana' streets in Tallahassee for the first time since 7958.
