The spirit of Independence High School cannot be pin¬ pointed as any one thing. It is made up of ideas and events which can never be duplicated and will always be remembered. The work, relaxation, and fellowship which are shared by In¬ dependence students and faculty involve many elements large and small which are evident in the spirit and enthusiasm dis¬ played by these people. From first day orientation to foot¬ ball . . . homecoming . . . class work . . . soccer . . . donkey ball. . . college boards . . Christmas party . . . club meetings. .. basketball, . . semester exams.. . Honor Week . . . wrestling . .. Junior Follies . . . Sadie Hawkins . . . ICC Carnival . . . track meets . . . student council elections . . . pep rallies . . . beauty pageants . . . concerts . . . the Junior-Senior . . . and, finally, graduation are major events that help shape the lives of Inde¬ pendence Patriots. Along with these school-wide activities are the little things which are so meaningful to individual students— a special cafeteria table . . . the hum of sewing machines . . . beat ribbons for every game . . . the click of typewriters . . . Friday afternoon . . . the swish of paint brushes . . . hoarded lunch money for special days . . . the person two seats up in English . . . the first place in the lunchline — which make a certain high school year significant. The staff of the SPIRIT OF ’68 has tried to recapture these segments and bring them together again in these pages to tell the actual story of ’67—’68 at Independence. Typical Patriot spirit is portrayed by Hal Smith as he joins a rousing cheer in support of the Indepencence cagers. Against a background of modern architecture, Independence stu¬ dents mold their lives in many areas. To convey the truth Concern felt by the entire crowd is shown in the expression of Bar¬ bara Faires as she watches the action on the field. 4
