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. Janice Cranford’s job as Business Manager requires keeping careful records of all money from ads and sale of yearbooks. Academics Editor Terri Newell draws her pages Senior Class Editors Christy Nelson and Hal Smith discuss layout plans with Susan Brawley, on master layout forms. ctivities Editor.

The Declaration staff was responsible for publishing the paper. Mrs. Pruden was advisor and Connie Alley was editor. In addition to “Benjie” which was continued from last year, a column called “Jan-A-Go- Go” was an interesting feature of the paper. The paper cov¬ ered club news, sports news and included editorials and polls of school life. The paper staff has made the Declaration an important part of Independ¬ ence’s student publications. 129
