Foreword
 
As you turn through the pages of your 1968-1969 Il Ricordo, we hope that the classes, 
organizations, and activities that are portrayed will recall to your mind the happy memories of 
days spent at Independence High School.
 
In this annual we hope to preserve many laughable and cherishable memories that otherwise 
would be forgotten.
 
You might find some imperfections, but we know that you sympathize with our efforts in 
endeavoring to bring you an annual that you will always treasure.

Dedication
 
The staff of the 1969 Il Ricordo loyally dedicates this annual to our parish of Tangipahoa, which 
marked its 100th birthday during the week of March 23-29, 1969.
 
Tangipahoa Parish, formerly the land of the Choctaw Indians, was established in 1869 during the 
administration of Henry Clay Warmoth.  It was carved from four parishes, namely:  St. Tammany, 
Washington, St. Helena, and Livingston. Since that time, it has become one of the most 
interesting agricultural and industrial areas of our state.  It is currently the "Parish of the Two
S's" - strawberries and steel. Therefore, it is with great pride that the staff takes this 
opportunity to salute Tangipahoa Parish on its 100th birthday.
