Senior News On September 2, we entered the halls of R.V.l l.S. as seniors. Initiation of the freshmen was among one of the first events to take place. Everyone had fun and will agree that the freshmen are a swell group to spend our last year with. Recognizing a good president when we see one, we elected Lee Roger Pretet to be our last class president. For Vice-president, John McCauley, Secretary, Marilyn Hangartnerg Treasurer, .lim Gioletti, and Student Council members, Eileen Nauman, John McCauley, Lee Pretet, Gary Bertolo, and Bob Luginbuhl were elected. Our sponsors were Mr. Luallen and Mr. Cravens. Miss Miller helped us with the RoVic and Mr. Luallen and Mr. Koos helped with the lnkwell. We chose silver and royal blue to be our class colors, the 'peace rose' as our class flower, and 'The Road Called Toil Leads to the City Called Success' as our motto. On October 8, we went to Peoria to have our senior pictures taken. Again this year as in years before, we decided to go to Rembrandt's. Our Senior play was given April 24. A gymnasium full of people enioyed the fun-packed play. A chili supper and dance was sponsored on February 28. Everyone in school was invited. Besides that party, we had one which only the seniors attended. On May 'l5 and 16, we went on our class trip. Everyone had a wonderful time and enioyed every bit of the two days that we were gone. We all enioyed the lovely banquet given to us on May 23 by the iunior class. Everyone had a swell time and will agree that the iuniors had put a lot of hard work and time into it. The next evening we held our Baccalaureate services. Class night was the time when we gave each of the iuniors a little token of remembrance, a little gift of something we remembered them by. The great night, May 29, 1953, finally arrives when we graduate from R.V.l'l.S. after four years of unforgettable memories. Everyone agrees that our four years ofhigh school came to an end very quickly and we will never forget those great days of memories. Ag C 8 as -' 8 we ff , A ' K - .9 . fr .
