 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. S 19 5 4 o

R E V O N A H SENIOR TRIP 1954 Of course, we have been planning our Senior trip since our Freshman days and working to finance it, but the full importance of these plans weren't realized until about October of our Senior year. 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
