The Community The Tallahassee Community was growing rapidly as new shopping cen- ters, state buildings and housing pro- jects sprang up all over the area. A new housing development located in Rickards' zone brought many new students into the school. A new shop- ping center, also located in Redskins territory, was opened to the public as was a new post office and even a new golf club and course. Many stores in the Tallahassee area offered teen fashion boards for inter- ested high school students to display fashions to the public. Citizens anxiously awaited the com- pletion of the new legislative wings ad- joining the Capitol building. They awaited also the final decision on what a new Capitol would look like. The community played an import- ant part in our lives by providing us with many newer and more worth- while services that will be useful to Redskins in future years.
