Activities Once again activities started off the year when students nominated the Homecoming Queen and her court. School spirit began to build up as stu- dents participated in color day, hobo day, dress up day and the biggest event, the Homecoming game. Almost everybody at one time or another thinks of being something big or nominated for an award. Honors this year ranged from those accomp- lished scholastically to others accomp- lished through beauty. A few of those accomplished throughout the year were Betty Crocker, Miss RHS, NMS, Outstanding Teenagers, DAR Good Citizen and the Homecoming Queen and her court. Rickards students participated in the community. One senior girl won the title of Miss junior Miss and Miss 16. She represented Florida in the nation- al Miss l6 Pageant. Rickards also had one senior girl to participate in the community ballet.
