There is no doubt in my mind that the students and staff are responsible for the successes we have achieved in such a brief time. The villas are becom- ing more established each day, our academic programs are setting a trend that will be hard for other schools to match, and our athletic and extra curricular endeavors are paying handsome rewards. The pride you show in your school will always be returned in the recognition we receive as sixers. I see a very bright future ahead for Independence and like you, l am proud to be a part of it. Congratulations seniors of 785 You're the first of what should be a long line of outstand- ing students. Good Luck. - Mel Goertz 1 ill !4 wx- Z' l aldanado Lorraine Peterson Evelyn Ward The H Building is the Administrative center of the entire independence High School Campus. Nl .
