Yearbook uses new format The SPIRIT OF ’68 staff tried to produce a history of the year ’67-’68 which would be meaningful to every student at Independence. The color picture on the cover which includes members of the ’76 Club, a school spirit organization, brought together many of the facets of school life which were further divided and discussed throughout the annual. Other new ideas included placing the seniors in front of the juniors and sophomores, and the addition of an index of students and faculty at the end of the book. Mo Talley, Donna Fisher, and Buddy Floyd look at sports sections of different annuals for new ideas. Editor-in-Chief Sidney Kerr proportions pictures to the layouts.
