RAVINIA ALL SCHOOL REUNION

By

Lots of memories were shared at the Ravinia All School Reunion this past Saturday night, June 28, at the Ravinia Fire Hall. And what better way to start off those memories than to walk through the door and hear the taped music of everybody's favorite Bures Bohemian Band. Jan (Schmidt) Schiferl started the program welcoming everyone in attendance with Richard Dvorak adding a welcome message and dinner prayer. Following the meal, Dave Honomichl gave the Foundation Report and 'Words of Wisdom' were given by Ernie Ray Bures. Jean Barkley relayed greetings from Tom Brokaw who had attended Ravinia and Pickstown Schools and shared stories of his early years living in the area. Jean and Jan got the crowd involved in a musical game 'Name that Tune' asking everyone to sing the title of the song and guess the year it was recorded. The evening ended with former cheerleaders leading the crowd in the school song, 'On Ravinia.' Plans are to hold next year's All School Reunion on June 27, 2026. Committee members were Carl and Loretta Soulek, Jan Schiferl, Wanda Anderson and Jean Barkley. A shout out to Chad Soulek for preparing the meal, the Ravinia Fire Department for the use of the building and their assistance. The last graduating class from Ravinia was 1967.
