1967 ROVAN R.O.V.A. HIGH SCHOOL ONEIDA, ILLINOIS Advisor: Miss Gaylene Miller Sr. Editors: Trudy Johnson Carol Rednour Jr. Editors: Patsy McKee Ruth Ann Pitman Senior Editor Carol Rednour Junior Editor Junior Editor Ruth Ann Pitman Patsy McKee Senior Editor Trudy Johnson R.O.V.A. of 1966-67 is now memories--memories of games, dances, teachers, and close friends. It was a year of emotions, of freshman eagerness, senior confidence, sophomore relief of no longer being freshmen, and junior fear of the new cafeteria. It was a year of school pride, the kind that R.O.V.A. always deserves, and the kind we hope it will always receive. Table of Contents Fall Dedication Homecoming Football Juniors Seniors Librarians Winter Activities Sophomores Organizations Basketball Spring Faculty Music Track Freshmen We, the students of R.O.V.A. High School, would like to take this opportunity to recognize the efforts of our friends and loved ones who are sacrificing their time and lives for us in the four branches of our Armed Forces. To all the graduates of R.O.V.A. High now serving in Viet Nam and other far corners of the globe, we proudly dedicate our 1967 ROVAN. 4 SEATED--L to R: B. King, C. Johnson, K. Anderson, P.
