The Independence choir premiers at the “welcome” assembly. This year assemblies have played an especially important role in life at Independence. The first week of school students united in the mall to get acquainted with the new principal, faculty, and student orientation committee who worked through the summer to prepare “Big I” for its opening. At the end of first quarter, an assembly was held for the purpose of introducing can¬ didates running for school office. Since this time numerous gatherings have enabled students to observe a wide variety of programs including Honor Society and Marshal inductions, pep rallies, and performances by both the choir and Drama Department. Faculty and students assemble for the first time in a brand new gym. 1 4 The mall is an experiment in architecture From the second floor railing, students get a bird’s “eye view” of the school. At each end of the mall, stairways lead to second floor class rooms. During campaign week, supporters of Lane Hurley get a free ride around “Big I.” One of the many features which has made Inde¬ pendence outstanding as a senior high school is the mall or “common’s area” in the center of the main building. An experiment in modern school architec¬ ture, the mall was designed as a conveniently sized multi-purpose area. Since the opening of school, the mall has fulfilled its purpose by serving, not only as a point of social gathering among students through¬ out the day, but providing space for assemblies, ban¬ quets, conventions, and dances. At the banquet, seniors enjoy a meal without the presence of underclassmen. Seniors enjoy banquet The entertainment never drags at the Senior Banquet as the expressions of these seniors prove. This Russian Ballet Company, known as Sammy Ward, Bill McGee, Wayne Bowman, and Russell Salisbury bring a thrill to the hearts of viewers with this dance of their own creation. Jeannie Barrett displays talents as both singer and pianist with her version of “Sweetheart Tree.” 16 The giant Christmas tree in the mall adds the spirit of the Christmas season to the festivities. Karen Miller and Suzanne McGuirt excite the audience with a piano duet from “West Side Story.” A banquet was held in the honor of he first graduating class of Independ¬ ence High School on December 5, 1966. The social event of the fall for seniors ! ncluded an evening free from homework, i catered meal served by junior members j f the Key Club, and a floor show of acts | terformed by fellow members of the enior class. Emceed by Susanne Mc- Juirt, secretary of the class, the show ncluded everything from jokes to a Rus- ian Ballet performed by the Key and livitan Clubs. At the conclusion of the . how, everyone, lured by the spirit of the | Tmstmas season, proceeded from the i uditorium to the mall for the singing of i| avorite carols. John Griffin, Bob Blalock. Roger Martin, and Becky Owens tell an old Indian joke. 17 Independence opened its year with a bang by winning the “BIG WAYS” can¬ non. WAYS radio station promoted a contest for one of its sponsors, Lay’s Meat Products. The school which turned in the most facsimilies of Lay’s Meat labels won an authentic cannon. In three months. Independence, with the leader¬ ship of one very school spirited teacher, Mr. Johnny Jaeumin, turned in 570,248, 269 labels. The result of the labor stands in the mall beside “Big I” to give Patriots a feeling of pride unmatched by any school. Mr. Jim Beatty of WAYS radio, personally delivers the cannon to Independence. Cannon boosts spirit The new cannon is displayed in the mall. November 19, 1966, the Mint Hill Jaycees held their annual Junior Miss Pageant in the auditorium of Inde¬ pendence. The girls who ranked in the top twenty scholastically in the senior class at Independence were eligible as contestants for the title. Twelve entered. Judged on the basis of talent, poise, appearance, and physical fit¬ ness, the following girls received rec¬ ognition: outstanding physical fit¬ ness, Becky Carpenter won a six months of dancing lessons at Gross School; for poise and appearance, Doreen Williams, second runner up, won a six months charm course at June Agar’s School; for exceptional talent, Terry Winchester won a year of drama lessons at Earl Wentz stu¬ dios. Wanda Connell was chosen first runner up. In conclusion, Linda Smith was announced the new, 1967 Junior Miss. Linda was a contestant ip the state pageant. In addition to being second runner up, Miss Doreen Williams receives an award for poise and appearance. Independence hosts Junior Miss Pageant Wanda Connell, first runner up, and Doreen Wil¬ liams, second runner up, flank Linda, the new Junior Miss. The judges hold a banquet for the contestants the night before the pageant. 19 School swings open with Howdy Dance To provide a break from the rou¬ tine of study, several dances were held throughout the year. To cele¬ brate the opening of school in Sep¬ tember, a Howdy Dance enabled students to get acquainted with Independence as well as each other. The lively sound of the “Escorts” provided an enjoyable evening for all. In December, the “Venturas” were present to usher in the Christmas season. Santa Claus was on hand to give away gifts in the way of candy. These dances, along with a Sadie Hawkins dance in March and the Junior-Senior Prom in April, were the year’s major festivities. At the Howdy Dance, students contribute money to “Big I.” Lucretia Hurley and Jerry Adams liven up a slow number. At the Christmas Dance, Jackie Wallace, Becky Owens, Linda Griffin, and Mark Dover pose for pictures. Students gather around the “Escorts” in lively motion. The clapping of Independence supporters indicates that the Patriots have recovered the ball. In this its first year, Independence epitomized school spirit. This true school spirit was the type that exemplified sin¬ cere concern on the part of the Patriots for their team whether the challenge be football, basketball, wrestling, cross country, track, or baseball. It was the type of spirit that showed loyalty to the end regardless of the odds f or or against a Patriot victory. At the close of each game, it was the type of spirit that caused all Independence students to rise and shout, “I’m a Patriot, couldn’t be prouder!” Many students arrive early to lend support to the J.V. team. Miss Yarborough directs her tennis class in the proper way to serve the ball. In Typing II, students boost speed with daily practice drills. The classroom remained the center of the Patriot’s life at Independence this year. It was here that students spent most of their time dur¬ ing a regular school day. It was in the classroom that students were confronted with their great¬ est challenges. Some classrooms guided the ac¬ ademic growth and development of all. Each student was given the opportunity to express his thoughts and ideas concerning any topic. Some classrooms guided students in the development of certain skills. 22 center of school life works on diagraming sentences. Miss Whitesell explains the isotopes of hydrogen to her Chemistry class. In band students can combine their talents in practicing a song.

A small staff put in a lot of work and extra time to come out with a successful school paper. This was true for the staff of The Declaration. The staff was very for¬ tunate to have the graphics arts department to print the paper. The Declaration was pub¬ lished about once a month, keeping the stu¬ dents well informed as to what was going on at Independence. The Declaration improves steadily Becky Owens and Linda Williams examine first edition of The Declara¬ tion as it comes off the press. Members of the Declaration staff try to find humorous articles. T vr- Legacy published in spring The Legacy staff learns what makes a good literary magazine. Miss Whitlock, advisor, and Doreen Williams, editor, examine a newly arrived article. Students who are exceptionally talented and interested in English are given an opportunity to utilize their skills by joining the Legacy staff.

In order for the staff members to learn more about correct literary techniques, several professional writers were invited to address the group. 27 Students choose “Spirit of ’67” Terry Winchester, editor, inspects the final layout of the annual. Members of the editorial staff decide upon the pictures to be used in the sports section. Working each day during fourth period, the editorial staff produced the first edition of the SPIRIT OF ’67.

Working during fourth period, the business staff handled subscriptions to the SPIRIT OF ’67 and executed other tasks concerning annual finances. “Operation Pan¬ cake” was held at Uncle John’s Pancake House, with part of the proceeds going to the annual funds.

Because these three so ex¬ celled in their fields they were given this op¬ portunity to learn more through an intensive two month study under world renowned teach¬ ers. Connie Alley’s services as an accomplished pianist are often in demand. Bart Mensor replaces his cello after a long practice 56 Staff selects Bowman, Miller Karen protests in vain against having her picture made. Chosen by the annual staff, outstand¬ ing seniors Karen Miller and Wayne Bow¬ man were elected Mr. and Miss Spirit of ’67. The choices were based on the atti¬ tudes they displayed and the personal services they have rendered to the school. Karen served as manager of the annual, a Marshal, treasurer of the Honor Socie¬ ty, vice-president of the Bridge Club, and as a member of the Order of the Patriot. Wayne was vice-president of the Civitans, as well as chairman of the social com¬ mittee of the Student Council. In this capacity he worked hard to secure bands and entertainment for our dances and other social functions An active partici¬ pant in school sports, Wayne was co¬ captain of the football team and lettered in track.

Bobby Donaldson pursues an Asheville ball carrier. In their first football sea¬ son, the Patriots compiled a 1-8 record, beating Olympic. Although team efforts were hindered by lack of experience and depth, several individ¬ uals showed promise. A fine quarterback prospect was seen in Mark Hagler, while Wayne Bowman, Bobby Don¬ aldson, and Donald Reel gave outstanding performances in pass receiving. On the defen¬ sive team, Dennis Davis proved to be a tough lineman. Coach Ledford stated that his major problems in building a team for Independence were lack of interest and a need for more participants. 60 SCOREBOARD Independence 6 Lincolnton .13 Independence 0 Kannapolis .28 Independence 6 Catholic.12 Independence 0 East.21 Independence 13 North .40 Independence 15 Olympic . 0 Independence 13 South .34 Independence 0 Second Ward ....20 Independence 0 West Charlotte . . .27 Members of the defensive team prepare to take the field.

The poor record was due to inexperience, incom¬ plete gym facilities, and a rough practice course. Terry Belk was the highest scorer with thirty- seven points. Charles Grier proved to be a promising sophomore. The Independence team edged Olympic by one point for eighth place in the conference meet.

With only five experienced men, the wrestling team com¬ piled a 6-7 record and placed fifth in the Western District Tournament. Coach Rea stated that the team suffered from inexperience as well as the failure to recruit a ninety- five pound wrestler, for which the team was penalized five points in every match. Injury to a key player, Marshal Rorie, at the beginning of the season also hampered team efforts. In the Western District Tour¬ nament, Terry Belk and Jerry Wilson placed second; Lou Lagana, third; and sophomore Chipper Alexander, fourth. With many sophomores and juniors returning as veterans, Coach Rea expressed opti¬ mism for a strong team next season.

The team compiled a record of 5-14 for the regular season. Charles Lipscomb, a 6’5” forward was a leading scorer as was Howard Barnes who had received two years experience at J.H. Gunn. Team efforts were hindered by the fact that the gym was not ready for use until two weeks after practice began. A lack of balance scoring, poor ball handling, and weak defense also kept the Patriots out of the winning column this season. 64 in first season Ronnie Simpson passes off to another Patriot. Joey Howell succeeds in obtaining a jump ball for Independence. Bill Magee lays a bas¬ ket in for the Patriots. During time-out, Coach Coulter gives directions to players. Lane Hurley and Steve Flowe complete pre-game warm-ups. m On the first Saturday in June, members of the student body of the new Ind ependence High School met to elect ten cheerleaders. After they were chosen, the cheer¬ leaders spent a busy sum¬ mer deciding on uniforms and creating new cheers for their new school. In August, all ten cheer¬ leaders retreated to the beach, where they prac¬ ticed cheers and made posters for the coming- year. A car-wash was held in order to raise money to pay for uni¬ forms. During the year, the cheerleaders sold beat ribbons to pay for their pom-pons and uni¬ forms. The excellent school spirit displayed by the student body was testimony to the fine work of the cheerleaders this year.

Gail Garland was head cheerleader, and Mrs. Merchant served as advisor. In choosing their uniforms, the J.V. cheerleaders tried to select outfits which they could wear after their year of cheering for the junior varsity was completed. They sold candy and beat ribbons to defray the cost of their uniforms. The J.V. cheerleaders are jubilant at the victory of their team.

Patriots of Indepen¬ dence, coached by Mr. Tom Mc¬ Coy finished their first season with a record of 7-8. Though in¬ experience and injuries plagued the team in the early part of the season, later play produced two stars, Donald Reel, forward, and Skip Horton, guard. Other outstanding players were Robert Little, Lem Long, Mark Hagler, and Hal Beaver. Skipper Horton and Donald Reel combine their efforts in a J.V. game.
