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

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
