Although the main structure was erected in 1929, two additions, the most recent in 1952, have kept pace with the increasing need. The people of Hanover can be proud of this fine school building, certainly one of the best in this area. 6 ADMINISTRATION MR. MELVIN C. CALLAHAN MR. O. L. HAILE MR. JOHN W.

Little did she realize what a mark they would leave on our little red school house. Well, we all have to go sometime, so finally most of us left Mrs. Gaethe and moved on to Mrs. Thelma Vanmanen. Here we picked up nine new members. In time, a chosen few passed on to Mrs. Bourne who soon left and was replaced by Miss Thomas. By now five new members had been added to our class. To compensate for these additions, we left several behind when we picked up our books and advanced to fourth grade, taught by Miss Vera Graves. Soon we were joined by eight new members and together we slowly made our way tc fifth grade, taught by Mrs. Ina Ehredt and along with six new members, we proceeded to wend our weary way onward to sixth grade. In sixth grade, taught by Mrs. Emma Harksen, we gained four new members, and lost several. Mrs. Jones inherited us next along with three new students. Soon we picked up our things and transferred to eighth grade under the tutelage of Mrs. Edith Morrison, and where we gained three new pupils. At last we were ready for high school, so together with many new students: Don Marken, Gail Irwin, Richard McGinnis, Jacqueline McLean, David Murfin, Barbara Oates, Bob Wendling, Reginald George, we decended on Hanover High School. Mr. George Huettle was our class advisor but we didn't accomplish much our first year besides losing a great deal of our dignity during Freshman Initation and making a little money -in the magazine campaign. Mr. Richard Wojan inherited us as class advisor during our Sophomore year. We made most of our money from magazine sales, record dances and a Soph- omore Dance. We had two new students: Bruce Butts and Alfred Spaude. During our Junior year we began to get busy to make money. We gave a play Junior Miss, Sports Nite with the Seniors, gave a Chili Supper, served refreshments at the games and gave the Seniors a prom. Shirley Smyth was our only new member. This year had been an extremely busy one, under the guidance of Richard Campbell, our new class advisor. We had a Fun Night with the Freshman, a Christmas Dance, a Class play Charley's Aunt, Valentine Dance, and gave record dances. As a result of all our hard work and endeavors we went on a Class trip and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Though we will miss high school and all its good times, we look forward to the future with eager expectance, and high hopes. 19 5 4 R E V O N A H O MAX HARKSEN “No legacy is so rich as honesty.” Class play 3. 4; Revonah 4; F.

Open house at the Pat Murphy Curtis cattle ranch in Derinda Center, invites the gala gathering of the Class of '54 for a reunion. Twenty-five years have elapsed and some former students of good old H. H. S. have lapsed into a staid wedded bliss or middle-aged domesticity. Great publicity attends this event as reporters and photographers gather around the Curtis sundeck where Lucille Kirchner (Miss Bunar McFadden of '79) is to parachute from her blimp, the first to break the sound barrier, into a tank of buttermilk. Other photographers hasten to snap Grandma Moes Larson, the cheese-cake grandmother who paints pictures of her legs on plates. After the novelty of this latest event has worn off, things return to normal, and the guests drift through the house. One of the female guests drifting by catches our attention. Her backless, strapless, waistless, cocktail gown is made of her latest innovation to the fashion world-human hair—her own which she let grow since her graduation from high school. Miss Mary Jane Harker has made quite a name for herself and for Hanover by converting the little town into the fabulous fashion center of the world. Max Harksen has just arrived and several people are watching in awe as Max, wife and ten boy scouts alight from his English Ford. Yes, Max has become Scout Master of Hanover and even has a troop of his own. Pat Van Dyke, better known as Madame Cure-all, comes in wheeling her bandaged partner and husband, Leroy Hacker. It seems though Pat spilled some more boiling water, an act she perfected while still in high school. Jack White is reclining rather inconspicuosly in the hammock on the lawn. He's saving his strength for he has a tough part in the Army—tuba player. The swimming pool now seems to be the center of attraction. Here Marjorie Clarkson and Keith Croffoot are giving a brief demonstration of underwater ballet. Keith is exhibiting much of the grace and form of his old basketball days, while Marjorie is wearing her foam rubber bathing suit for softer landing when she dives. Jim Stutzman, on the patio, is dramatizing a scene from the The Importance of Being Ernest to a group of interested men. He is sampling the refreshments on the side. Jim is now a Professor of Latin at Stevens College for girls. While there he discovered the need for a very long lasting lipstick and has just patented a two-month stay-on lipstick. The girl with all the dedals is our own Gail Irwin, now known as Stormy Gail, national champion auto racer. She attributes her success to practice gained on Main Street. R E V O N A H (Class Prophecy Continued) Over there, Lillian Webster is telling a group of awed females about her experience as a gorilla wrestler. She always gets her gorilla now that she has perfected the Monkey Twist, a hold she practiced while playing girls' basketball in high school. The name of Mary Jo Donnan has come into print quite recently for creating a hair style which is taking the country by storm. It seems Mary Jo has come closer to nature since she has moved to the farm with her husband, Richard McGinnis, and the beauty of New Mown Hay has inspired her to create a hair style of the same name. This class of '54 has been filled with creators and designers, for as Harry Pearce enters, he is wearing his ballerina-length trousers over a stiff crinoline—a style which is catching on rapidly in the men's fashion world. Straddling the piano bench like a professional, is Donny Crawford. He's dressed in his daily attire—a tuxedo. After Don learned to play the piano he was worried because he couldn't play with his toes or stand on his head and tickle the ivories, but since he has placed a candlelabra on the piano during his Thursday night T. V. show, his success has soared. All attention is suddenly drawn to the main entrance as Lenny and Larry Cobine, accompanied with a crash, are trying to bring in their new Hudson sportscar. These twins, after a short vacation in Las Vegas, have become the town's playboys. A uniformed figure catches our eye. On second look it's not a uniform but merely a close resemblance to one. It's worn by Norma Kaufman, head of the Salvation Army here. She always had ; tender spot in her heart for the Army, and it seems she joined with the anything-you-do, l-can-do-better spirit. Sounds of music come floating through the air. A curtain is pulled and Lura Lee Phillips, the One Man Band is revealed, playing her theme song When Banana Skins are Falling, That's when I'll Come Sliding Back to You. As we are leaving this gay reunion, we pass Bob Wendling who saunters in late but happy at having completed his alarm clock that not only wakes you, but also gets you up. Goodbye to this group can only be for a short time, for anywhere you go you will always find at least one member of the class of '54.

Here we were at the beginning of our last year. We knew we wanted to go to Washington, D. C. as other classes before us had done. How much would it cost? When we started figuring the approxi- mate amounts for our chartered bus and for the hotel rooms, which we were going to pay from our funds this year, the figures showed it would cost us about $1100. How much did we have in our treasury, $380. We would certainly have tc get to work if we were to raise that much cash this year. The magazine campaign netted us about $125, our first big project. Next we cooperated with the Freshman in sponsoring a school carnival which was called Fun Night —it made us another $70. Our class play brought in another $100. We sponsored a few record dances after the football and basketball games, sold programs and pom-poms at the Homecoming, had bake sales, etc., which all added to our total. Our Christmas dance brought in another $40. By the time the first semester had ended, our treasurer's report read $800.—we were doing O. K. At the start of the second semester, it looked like we might be able to finance our trip. A committee was appointed thus to plan it. They met with Mr. Reed of the Scenic Stage Lines to plan the route. It was decided we would leave Hanover on the evening of Friday, May 7. Our first stop to be at Pittsburgh, Pa. where we would stay Saturday night. We would arrive at Washington on Sunday afternoon. Monday and Tuesday would be spent in sight-seeing in Washington. Wednesday, we would proceed to Virginia Beach, Va. doing some sight-seeing on the way and enjoying a swim in the ocean upon our arrival. Tues- day morning would be spent relaxing on the beach and resting up for our return tiip. We would leave Virginie Beach Thursday afternoon and arrive in Richmond, Va. in time to do a little looking around before bedtime. Friday would be spent traveling through the mountains and we would stay at Rainelle, W. Va. that night. Saturday, we must get serious about getting back home, so we would have to hurry along to be in Indianapolis, Ind. by night time. We would arrive home on Sunday—tired, happy, and much more worldly. We now have our plans completed and reservations made at our hotels. This yearbook is our present project from which we hope to realize another $100 for our trip if we work hard. We are washing cars every week-end to raise additional cash. Our plans for the future are to sponsor Sports Night and also an amateur show. At the time of this writing we are over the $900 mark—we know we will reach our goal. Bon voyage— 19 5 4 R E V O N A H CLASSES THE BEWILDERMENT OF IT ALL S 19 5 4 REVONAH JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Our Proteges The Junior Class started 1953 by electing class officers who are as follows: President, Alex Paisley; Vice-President, Robert Kevern; Secretary-Treasurer, Marvin Speer; Student Council, Sue Sullivan. Our class advisor is Mr. Robert Hires. This year at Homecoming we entered a very nice float in the parade. Phyllis Boldt was chosen as an attendant to the Homecoming Queen. In order to make money for the Senior Class trip, we sold refreshments at the football and basketball games. We also had bake sales and a spaghetti supper which were very successful. Our magazine sales campaign also netted us a tidy sum. In April, we presented our Junior Class play, Ramshackle Inn, which was a success and a lot of fun. It was directed by Mr. Hires. Our class is proud of Alex Paisley, Roger Wunderlin, Jim Duffy, and Marvin Speer our football players and Keith Unangst, manager; also those out for basketball, Alex Paisley, Roger Wunderlin, Keith Unangst, Tom Kilpatrick, and Marvin Speer. We are the largest class in high school and our members participate in all school activities. We are looking forward to our Prom which will be held on May 22, 1954. The theme will be Moonlight and Roses. The Junior Class wishes the Seniors of '54 success and happiness for many years to come. 19 5 4 R E V O N A H SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY Upperclassmen to Be The Sophomore class of 1953 and 1954 has had a good year. We have had bake sales, fudge sales, and entered in a magazine sale to help our treasury. We started our year by electing our class officers who are: President, Eugene Ferguson; Vice-President, Frances Finley; Secretary-Treasurer, Ronald Noton; Student Council Member, Carole Crawford; we chose Miss Williams as our Class Advisor. There are thirty members in our class this year. We entered a float in the Homecoming parade and had lots of fun getting ideas and making it. Our class is very active in sports and we are very proud of our players. Eugene Ferguson and Phillip Mitchell were out for football and basketball. Also out for basketball were Ronald Noton, Martin Murphy, and Jerry Callahan. Two girls from our class, Carolyn Haug and Carolyn McKinley, were chosen as cheerleaders. We, the Sophomore class of 1956 wish the Senior class Health, Success, and Happiness in the Future. FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY The Green is Fading Twenty-nine freshman were enrolled at Hanover High School with Abbott Book as their advisor. Class officers were: President, David Streight; Vice-President, Judy Henschel; Secretary-Treasurer, Lynn Zuber; Student Council member, Shirley Cook. The boys out for Sports were: David Streight, Denny McCormick, Cyril Larson, LeRoy Curley, Wayne Whalen, Wayne Theisen, Jimmy Calvert, Ken Foley, and Kenny Jestice. Judy Reed was chosen cheerleader from our class. June Brandt was chosen an attendant to the Queen at Homecoming. To make money we sold magazines, were co-sponsors of Fun Nite, and promoted a Sock-Hop. All were very successful and enjoyed by everyone. 19 5 4 R E V O N A H JUNIOR CLASS Fourth Row: B. Dyson, R.

The plot concerns an old maid librarian who has saved her money for twenty years, in order to buy a hotel where she can meet interesting people. She purchases a strange tumble-down place near the ocean and gets what she bargains for—plus a great deal besides. The imperturbable librarian encounters dead bodies and secret trunks; she wanders through mysterious situations and thunderstorms; she meets with drama and comedy. And. in the end. she succeeds in settling the question of who is guilty of the murders and robbery which have threatened the happiness of her friends. CAST OF CHARACTERS Patton .................

Most people remember their school days as one of the happiest periods of their lives; that is how it should be. Students should enjoy going to school for attitude plays an important part in learning. Co-curricular activities, although they play a minor role, thus have an important part in the school program. We have always had our band and sports activities. The last few years we have had a school newspaper, a year-book, a Future Teacher's Association, and a Future Homemaker's Association. Still we were in need of a greater variety of activities, some of which might interest every student. We have attempted to find the answer this year by introducing a Photography and Projector Club, a Dramatic Club, a Pep Club, an H Club, and a Square Dance Club. These clubs meet for 40 minutes every other Friday morning. There are still a few students who do not participate in co-curricular activities. Arrangements have been made for those people to spend the club meeting time in the study hall. Although our co-curricular program is not yet perfect by any means, we feel that we have made a step forward this year by inaugurating this club program.
