Oviedo (Fla.)
Housing--Florida
Engineers--Florida
A newspaper column in <em>The Oviedo Outlook</em> entitled "Between the Celery Stalks." Here, local residents could submit interesting stories or tidbits for inclusion in the newspaper. This particular column, written by Janet Foley, was about horticulturalist local Oviedoan, Theodore "Teddy" Luqueer Mead and his housing development called Mead Manor. Originally from New York, Mead's long interest in biology and botany brought him to Florida during the late 19th century, when he settled first in Eustis, then later Oviedo on Lake Charm, with the intent of growing oranges. Mead and his wife would become integral members of the social fabtic of the Oveido community.

Schools
Education--Florida
High schools--Florida
The 1914 <em>Salmagundi</em> yearbook for Sanford High School. The yearbook was named for the Native American word meaning "a general mixture." Alice Coffee was the editor-in-chief of the <em>Salmagundi</em> for the 1913-1914 school year, which cost fifteen cents. It has 69 pages, 21 of which make up the advertisement section. Topics of interest in the yearbook include student writings, such as "Farming in Florida." There is a local, as well as a social section. Alumni notes give information about graduates of Sanford High School. The athletic section features the boys and girls basketball teams, and a thank you to the county board and superintendent for the funds to build a basketball court. Some photographs feature of Sanford High School, the primary school, Sanford farming, each class, and the boys basketball team. Student art work is featured throughout the Salmagundi. <br /><br />Sanford High School was originally established at 301 West Seventh Street in Sanford, Florida, in 1902. The building was designed by W. G. Talley in the Romanesque revival style. Due to an increasing student population, a new school building was constructed on Sanford Avenue in 1911. The original building on Seventh Street served as Westside Grammar Elementary School, which was later renamed Sanford Grammar School. In 1984, the building was placed on the National Registry of Historic Places and converted into the Student Museum. The building reopened as the University of Central Florida's Public History Center in 2012. In 1927, a high school campus was designed by Elton J. Moughton in the Mediterranean revival style and constructed at 1700 French Avenue. The school reopened on January 10 and was renamed Seminole High School. In 1960, the high school moved to a new campus at 2701 Ridgewood Avenue and the former building on French Avenue was converted to Sanford Junior High School, which was later renamed Sanford Middle School. The old building was demolished in the summer of 1991 and replaced by a $5.77 million school complex. As of 2013, Seminole High School offers various Advanced Placement courses, the Academy for Health Careers, and the International Baccalaureate Programme for students.
