DEDICATION For her service, interest, and devotion to the Hanover community, the year- book staff proudly dedicates the 1984 REVONAH to the memory of Mrs. LaVonne Gray. LaVonne Bonnie Anderson began her lifetime of Hanover residency on July 21, 1928, spending her early years of education at the Hanover Schools and graduating as Salutatorian of her 1940 Senior Class. After completing a year at the University of Illinois, she married Frank A. Gray. They have three children and three grandchildren. Mrs. Gray's involvement in education did not end with her own, as she went on to serve on the Hanover School Board from 1975 until 1983, when ill health forced her to resign. LaVonne Gray was not only active in the Hanover Schools, but she was also a member of the Hanover United Methodist Church, the Hanover Woman's Club, the Order of the Eastern Star, and the Jo Daviess Republican Women. In 1983 LaVonne Gray received the Friend of Education Award from the Illinois Education Association. The award is a fitting one, as Bonnie Gray was indeed a friend . . . a friend to education, to the community, and to the people of Hanover. She will always be fondly remembered for her achieve- ments, service, and her love for her Hanover community.
