Kris Saglimbeni. and Patti Campbell, are covered in the 1988 supplement to the book. Sophomore grappler Jeff Rapini (left) gained Varsity mat experience for the Panthers while senior Jayson Post continued his winning ways at the Panther Invitational. For most students, lunch is a time to relax in the lounge before afternoon classes begin. Contents 3 Wnghl ( 88) Monica Wnght ( 88) Climbing to the top Some of us like to sing in the shower or while we're driving down the road, but Kristen Davis (pictured right practicing one of her scenes for a school musical). did much more than that. She was accepted to Conference All-State, a select group of 270 New York State students who meet to sing in concert at the Concord Hotel. Davis made it to All-State by auditioning in front of a judge. She had to sing a solo, which was worth 90 points, and then had to sight read music, which was worth 10 points. The lowest acceptable score is 97; Davis compiled a 99. Also attending from GHS were Lauren Addona and Christopher Brown. 4 Opening Monica Wnght ( 88) Band member Chris Brown participated in an area All-State band with Lauren Addona. Richard Lewis, and Derek Radtke. all GHS seniors. The Geneva High School Student body features many people who are climbing their way to the top. Winning competitions and placing first in academic and arts events was the name of the game for members of the freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior classes. With their many talents, students of the four classes found themselves making tracks as they climbed to the top of the competition. In the Voice of Democracy competition, participants were required to make an audio tape about American liberty. Junior Ron Passalacqua (pictured left in one of his two roles in Auntie Marne, finished first and received a $100 bond and a $50 check for his efforts. This year, three GHS students competed at the state level of the Martin Luther King Arts and Sciences contest. With a rap about the civil rights leader, freshman Quinnie Strong, sophomore Jason Richardson, and senior Jeff Devaney scored in the top 10 out of 36 schools that made the finals. Opening 5 Finger Lakes Times A step ahead — 6 Opening Winner of the Daughters of American Revolution award, a member of the Spanish Club and National Honor Society, a yearbook co-editor, and an employee of Guard's Cards — senior Jenny Abbott is just one of the GHS students who have to juggle a multitude of activities while keeping up their academic averages. How do GHS students manage to keep up with their schedules? They try to keep a step ahead of everyone else. Those steps mean they are recognized in areas from academics to athletics to community service. Then, that recognition means more work—additional practice for the cheerleaders to maintain their Section V rating, more hours of study for the academic honoree, more time squeezed from an already full day to give to helping others. Once again, they keep a step ahead. By the time students reach their senior year, they must be able to shoulder greater responsibilities. In addition to their roles as student athletes and leaders of student government, Erica Cooney and Bill Palmer (left) organized a summer fund-raiser to help the young people of Geneva. For the second year in a row, the Varsity Basketball Cheerleaders, coached by Sheryl Wild, won the Selection V crown in their class. In the contest, which was held at Rush Henrietta, the team had to perform three cheers which included specific features such as mounts and gymnastics. Prior to the sectionals, the squad had been named Finger Lakes East League champs. Opening 7 Melissa Herring Fmgor Lakes Times Each September, selected sophomores compete for the Hugh O'Brien Youth Leadership Award. Winner for this year was Johanna Bloss (above). For most students a typical day at GHS consists of six classes. There is a wide variety of courses offered here at GHS. Each student takes four years of English and Social Studies, two years each of math and science, and physical education. Students may also choose to take French, Spanish, Latin, or Art or Tech Ed courses such as Accounting I or Word Processing. This year a new policy was introduced concerning extra-curricular eligibility. To participate in an extra-curricular activity, a student must carry at least four subjects and physical education. One must also have earned at least a minimum GPA in all courses at the end of the semester that precedes the beginning of the season. Furthermore any student who has a semester average between 1.00 and 1.75 is allowed to participate in extracurriculars conditionally. The students’ teachers submit a weekly progress report to the Assistant Principal, who decides whether to continue to allow the student to take part in his activities. 8 Academics Trying Gale G to comprehend tangent and cotangent graphs, students from orgonzola's Sequential Math 3 class take a break for a few laughs. In addition to their academic classes, Adrianne Oddi and Laura Neff are enrolled in keyboarding. That course helps students master the skills necessary to do a term paper, whether on a typewriter or on a personal computer. At the NHS induction in the fall of ’87,17 new members, including junior Mike Ferreri (who was welcomed by Erica Cooney and Joey Spina), were inducted in the society. Academics 9 Teachers remember how it was Mr. Robert Maher and Mr. Dan Davids, (both DeSales alumni) and Mr. Johnson and Mr. Fabrizio were the athletes of their time. Mr. Fabrizio played football and was captain of the track team. Tennis was one sport Mr. Davids did not participate in, but he did play basketball and baseball among others. Other graduates of GHS and DHS who are on the current high staff school include Mr. Donald Khourny. Mr. Jack McDonald, Miss Cindy Avery, Miss Beverly Mortenson, and Mr. Patrick Ryan. — reported by Monique Guilfoyle and Erika Forthergill Working out of school was something Mrs Broderick (below) and Mr. Brooks (right) had in common when they were in high school Mrs. Broderick was a candystriper at the hospital. What was life in the 1950's, 1960's, and early 1970's like at DeSales and Geneva High Schools? There are several teachers at GHS who graduated from these two local high schools who know the answer. Many teachers shared interests. Mr. Donald Ninestine, Mr. William Brooks, and Mr. Philip Johnson all enjoyed fishing in their spare time. Mrs. Lynn Broderick and Mr. John Fabrizio, both GHS graduates, were musically inclined. Mrs. Broderick sang in the choir and played in the band while Mr. Fabrizio had his own band called The Moonlighters; it often played at nightclubs and school dances. Mrs. Marien Canale, also a GHS graduate, enjoyed going to dances and doing what all teenage girls do — talking and listening to music. Edward J. Cigna Principal. Geneva High School . . . Robert J.

At the front of the room is a person uttering meaningless words in an unchanging tone while scribbling on a chalkboard or overhead transparency. Does this situation sound familiar? It should. Almost everyone who has gone through high school has had to deal with it; it is a scene from the dreaded lecture class. First of all, what exactly is a lecture? The New World Dictionary defines it as an informative talk, usually prepared beforehand, given before an audience, etc. However, most students interviewed for this article consider any verbal lesson a lecture as long as it is time-consuming and dull. For example, sophomore Dana Caito said that in Biology Regents, The material is really boring. Once the teacher gets talking, it seems she never stops. John Jankowiak. a ninth grader, finds the subjects of his Earth Science lectures about as interesting as a nine-volt battery. Many students at Geneva High have certain techniques for surviving such classes. Some, such as junior Charita Parker in chemistry and sophomore Dom Dardamo in Global Studies, simply fall asleep. Stanley Senack, a senior said, I wear sunglasses so the teacher can't tell I’m sleeping.” Others, like Julie Felice, tenth grade, and Joy Welch, ninth grade, break the monotony by doodling. One sophomore who wished to remain anonymous said he wakes up when shop lectures are disrupted by his peers,“making noises and hiding the tools. Another survival technique is daydreaming. Toshia White in 11th grade stated, I like to look out the window and plan my day. Suzanne Baroody admitted that to survive she stared out the window or tried to ignore the lecturer. Wait a minute! Most teachers do not like to be ignored by their pupils or have the class drift off daydreaming. After all, there are those Regents exams and competency tests that come up every year. To Lectures are a fact of life in Practical Law. Here Enca Cooney ponders a point of law. 12 Staff Anne Marie Meyer — Home Economics Dept.

Tenth grader Erica Voigt revealed that Mrs. Turri will ask a hard question. “Then,” said the tennis player, “the kids will perk up and pretend that they know what they’re doing so they won't be called on.” One student reported that a Global Studies teacher tries to keep his students alert by telling jokes. If that fails, he allegedly “threatens them with a golf club!” Chemistry classes listen to lectures on what amounts to be protons, neutrons, and electrons. Besides lectures. Chem students spend time on labs. Of course, no one method can keep an entire class entertained during a 55-minute long lecture. Probably the surest way to survive a lecture is just to endure it — Jayson Post Staff 13 Over 25 years in Geneva politics In today's political world, there are many politicians who seem to care only about themselves instead of their constituents. However, there are still numerous public officials that are hard-working and do-care. This group of dedicated people is typified by Geneva High School's Donald Ninestine. a teacher of Social Studies who also serves on the Geneva City Council. Mr. Ninestine has been involved in politics on the city, county, and state levels since 1961. During that time he has served as democratic City chairman, as councilman from the Sixth Ward, and has been involved with the New York State Democratic Council. In 1979 Ninestine was the sergeant-at-arms for the inauguration of Governor Hugh Carey. That was the highlight of my political career. No doubt, commented Mr. Ninestine. Such public figures as Harry Truman and John F. Kennedy inspired Ninestine to follow his political aspirations. However, the man he most admires was Congressman Sam Stratton. He feels that Stratton truly cared about and tried to help all of his people. I try to emulate him as much as possible in that respect, stated the veteran teacher. Today’s kids concern the teacher-councilman. He feels that the biggest current problem is drugs. Recently, Mayor Starr appointed him and Councilman DeCicca to a committee to seek ways to educate about drugs and to enforce policies in place. He also feels that economic progress in Geneva is necessary to keep the young here. They must have jobs to support their families. Recreation is another thing Ninestine recognizes as important to the young people of the city. I have a very strong belief.” he concluded, that everyone in a democratic society should participate and become involved. I like best helping people when they have problems with the bureaucracy. — Steve Liberatore Carol Soderlund — French . .

Staff 15 Biology students use various pieces of equipment. Bill Turturro (left) and Isaac Collins (right) work with a test tube during a lab. Different types of equipment can help students in different ways. The opaque projector enlarges drawings and diagrams for use in classroom projects. Using the equipment in the weight room as Dave Longo (right) demonstrates, can help build upper body strength. 16 Academics ROPES L E A R N I Shocking experiences with the electricity ball in chemistry, losing a program in computers, sporting welts from burnball” in gym. Those are just some of the occupational hazards caused by the equipment students have to work with in their daily classes. For instance, labs in science courses are times when many students are exposed to equipment. In biology, students have to work with N G THE microscopes. One student remembered Mrs. Turri threatening the class with a focusing test” because they couldn't work the gizmo that makes amoeba bigger than life. Scalpels are in the lab, too. Getting a dull one can be the pits. As Kathi Mirras commented, It made dissecting my fetal pig a bloody mess.” In Chem, students have to use balances and scales. However, that electricity ball was the most intriguing thing” in lab, according to Anne Campbell, who did pass the course. Any one of the Technology Education rooms has equipment galore. The Graphics Communication lab, for example, has the latest in desktop publishing and features the Apple LaserWriter system. The woodworking shop is Learning how to cook foods is important for those who plan to take care of themselves in the future. In Home Economics, students learn the tricks of the trade. In addition to learning how to prepare foods such as pizza, they find out about the nutritional components of the dish. a cabinet maker’s dream with myriads of saws, chisels, routers — you name it. The Business Department has expensive equipment. The older Apples in one lab were replaced this year with new IBM’s. Sometimes, however, all does not go smoothly. Kris Klestinec, a tenth grader, told about a problem with her final exam in computers. My test wouldn’t print out,” she said, and when I used another printer, that one jammed! Despite any mechanical problems they have, Geneva High students have been provided with state-of-the-art equipment. Any form of art involves the use of different pieces of equipment. Here, junior Willie Meringola works with various utensils to complete a project. Academics 17 The members of Ed Scharrer s 9th grade Regents English classes were exposed to research techniques when they wrote reports on Shakespeare. As a requirement for passing the course. Health teacher Nola Cypher! always assigns a term paper or a health project to her students Doing his term paper on Wayne Gretsky in his sophomore year reflected Brian Fitzgerald's love of hockey. The junior (right) played for the Geneva Generals. 18 Academics THE DREADED TER Ah — the dreaded term paper! It's something that most high school students face at one time or another, whether they want to or not. All Regents English classes in grades 10-12 require that a paper be written in order to fulfill part of the requirements for passing the course. Most teachers assign them for this reason, and so kids get a feel of what it is like to write one. As Nancy Russell said, “I want my students to use the library and organize materials. I feel it is important that they learn to read a source and write about it in their own words.” Often it is not easy to choose a topic for a term paper. Allison Principio, a senior, said that she tries to write on a subject that fascinates her so she will not be lulled to sleep by it. Last year her topic managed to keep her awake. “I ended up,” she recalled, writing my whole paper in one night. Surprisingly, she managed to pull off a B mark on it, even though it had several errors in sentence structure. Luckily, the grammar was not the whole grade. Being able to use a word processor will be helpful to freshman Barbara Tennies when she has to turn in a term paper as a sophomore. Regents sophomore Linda Palmer works as a student library aide. Her schedule allows her to take time occasionally to work on her papers while she is on duty. M PAPER Although writing a 2,000 word paper at the last minute may account for gray hairs, many students use this tactic. One junior boy feels he works better under pressure, so he waits until the last minute. That way,” he explained, “I know I have to get it done, so I sit down and do it.” Not so for people like a senior girl who is in the NHS. I like to save plenty of time for my term paper,” she stated so the final result is a lot better than if I did it at the last minute.” Anyway you look at it, there's no escaping the annual term paper. — Monique Guilfoyle Athletes such as Javier Ortolaza, who played on the JV Soccer team, have to have the skills to produce a paper. In order to remain eligible for extra-curriculars. they must maintain a certain G.P.A. Academics 19 Playing in band takes dedication and time; so does making the honor roll. Musicians such as Carrie Momberger and Jack DeBolt do both. As demanding as high school is, seniors Steve Liberatore and Jason Wmsor. who both make the honor roll, manage to find time to go to sporting events and root on their teams. Freshman Emily DeBolt (right) finds the jukebox a relaxing thing to look forward to as a break in the daily routine. 20 Academics MAKING THE Who are the people behind the names on the honor roll every ten weeks or so, and how do they manage to achieve academic excellence? In order to discover what their secrets are, we went to the experts, and here's what they had to say. in a more serious tone, “Paying attention in class helps.'' Freshman Sarah Matloff agreed. Her reply was simple: “Just stay awake in class.” She later suggested that homework is semi-important and that at least a part of it should be done. When asked for his advice on how to make the honor roll, Dino DeYulio replied shyly, I don't know, just get lucky” but quickly added Senior Lisa Gonyea had a different method: “Take easy classes! Based on her advice, it would appear that Lisa majored in study hall and minored in lunch, but her schedule told a different story. Along with physics and AP Biology, Lisa has survived pre-cal and several years of French. So what was her real secret? Do the work and study for the tests. Just make sure you know what's going on! In her busy schedule, freshman Laura Abraham budgeted the time to work on the yearbook staff, be a member of the Marching Band, and still maintain a high G.P.A. Cheerleading is a sport that takes energy and a lot of enthusiasm. Sophomore Jennifer Perry, a member of the JV Basketball Cheerleaders, was able to cheer and still excell academically. GRADE At first junior Mike Ferreri was confused when faced with the question. His reply was I do my homework, but don’t study for tests.” He then amended this: “Wait, my mother is going to read this! I study for the hard tests. If I didn’t make the honor roll, I’d get grounded, so I take smart pills. Just kidding! I just do what I do!” There you have it — the experts’ advice on how to be successful in your search for academic excellence. These achievers seem to think that the best ways to make the honor roll are by studying, doing homework, and maintaining consciousness in class. And they are no dummies! — Allison Principio Senior year is an exciting one, but it isn't all fun and games. Senior Eric Eckenrode. a regular on the honor roll, hoped to attend Cornell or the U of R. He took demanding courses such as AP Biology. Calculus and Physics in addition to wrestling and being in The King and I. Academics 21 Being familiar with computers will be helpful to Shane Valliere (nght) when he looks for a job after completing his schooling. Technical Drawing introduces students like Ray Lambert to the technical language and drawings of today's world. As a summer employee of the North Pole ice cream stand, Debbie Luzzi gained valuable working experience, in the real world. 22 Academics VI R E A L WORLD The Human Development Core taught Katrina Valerio, Carmen Caraballo, Lisa Deuel, and Amy Ventura (left) how the adolescent relates to others Under the tutelage of substitute Joe Guerra, Rosa McCoy and Helen Smith (above) learn to follow directions, a skill necessary to functioning in the real world. acquire skills useful on the job market. Such courses explore the world of occupations. Perhaps a future billionaire tycoon will get started in Marketing or Law here at GHS. Several courses fall under the Occupational Education category, such as those in Industrial Arts. In Production Systems — Metals, the students do metal work and form a manufacturing corporation. In Production Systems — Woodworking, pupils create individual products but also run a company that sells a product manufactured in class. Perhaps one of these courses is right for you. Give one a try. — Jayson Post Taking a business course can help students Many students question whether some of the courses they take in the high school will be of any use in the real world. For example, what are the chances of some stranger’s walking up to you and asking, “Pardon me, but could you tell me what is the sine of 43°?” or, “Gee, could you enlighten me on the quantum theory? Well, for those pupils who would rather learn some more practical skills, Geneva High School offers a ton of courses in Home Economics, Business, and Industrial Arts. In the 1987 88 Course Description booklet, there were 12 courses listed under Home Economics alone. Contrary to what some people believe, Home Economics is much more than cooking and sewing. Students can learn skills ranging from Home and Personal Management to Human Development. Of course, Food Core is also available and introduces the student to concepts he would need in the more advanced cooking classes. Academics ' 23 Sam Cosentino ( 88) It was another year of ups and downs for Geneva High sports. This year the football team struggled with a young squad while the Boys Soccer team made sectionals for the first time ever Individuals on the fall teams made tracks as they earned honors in post-season polls Dan Pontes was named to the FL E Soccer all-stars while seniors Jayson Post and Gimmie Wilson made the first all-star team in football. The JV Football team was once again a powerhouse in its division. In Boys Volleyball, seniors Derek Radtke and Jeff Van Lone were named to the all-star team. On the girls side, Kris Saglimbeni was a force to be reckoned with in tennis. For the year, she went undefeated in league play, making it to sectionals for the second year in a row. As the Saga went to press, the Boys Varsity and JV Basketball teams were holding their own in their divisions as the Bowling Team was tearing up the league. Once again, the Panther teams showed promise and were on the climb — John D’Agostino In his second year as a Geneva swimmer, sophomore Bob Parker swam the 200 Individual Medley. Midlakes fell to Geneva bowlers 4-0. In that match. Mike Thomas led the Panthers with a 635 series, rolling games of 266. 200 and 191. In Girls Basketball, Geneva rolled to a 51-38 win over DeSales to place second in the DeSales Christmas Tournament. Sports 25 JV’s, Cheerleaders live life season, even during a cold and rainy game at Mynderse when Thorneley said they “cheered their hearts out.” The squad lost two seniors to graduation, Liz Wright and Erika Fothergill. According to Thorneley, Wright was a mainstay, helping in teaching the new girls different cheers and sidelines. The first year coach commented on Fothergill’s “hard work and spirit.” — Jayson Post, Tom Millington. Against Victor, sophomore Isaac Collins ( 40). scored three TD’s in the Panthers’ £6-8 win. What’s dirty, sweaty and can be found on Loman Field? The JV football team and the Cheerleaders. Coached by John Natti. Phil Johnson, and Phil Choffin, the junior Panthers finished second in the league with a 6-1 record. Nate Waye and Isaac Collins accounted for the bulk of the scoring. Rob Snyder and Pete Graves also carried the ball for a touchdown. Bill Turturro received two TD passes, one a long bomb from Jessie Truley against Pal-Mac. Defensively, Nestor Ortiz blocked a punt and ran for a 60-yd TD against Pal-Mac while Rich Covert, Matt Capozzi, and Snyder each had interceptions in the Victor game. On the line of scrimmage. Matt Abraham and Matt Wooster contributed to the effort. Brian Langan was the JV quarterback. “The girls’ enthusiasm and motivation began to shine through the second half of the season and I was really pleased with the progress of the team,” said Mary Thorneley, Football Cheerleading coach.

Tough year for Panthers According to Coach Randy Grenier, the Varsity Football team had one of their toughest schedules in recent memory.” The team posted a 2-5-1 season, beating Penn Yan and Pal-Mac and tying Mynderse. In the Homecoming win over the Mustangs, Geneva scored the first points on a 17-yard touchdown run by Peter Antinelli to lead 7-0. The game was tied 7-7 when James Truley returned a kickoff 89 yards for the go-ahead touchdown. Geneva scored an insurance touchdown when Steve Cataline scored from three yards out. The other victory the Panthers had was over a vastly improved Pal-Mac team, 13-7. Geneva scored on a 2-yard touchdown run by Cataline and a 10-yard pass from Tony Cunningham to Rick Hemingway. In this game the defense was at its best, intercepting twice, once in the final minute, and holding Pal-Mac to only 153 yards of total offense. Leading the defense in ’87 were Jayson Post, Lee Collins, Jimmie Wilson, Bill Palmer, and Matt Sindoni. Contributing to the offense were Ron Constable and Mark Cowles. — John D'Agostino For this year, to be a Varsity Football cheerleader, you had to be at least a sophomore Paul Goodman ('88) 28 Varsity Football Paul Goodman ( 88) In a 13-7 win over Pal-Mac, Tony Cunningham ( 32), who led the Panthers' rushing attack, also passed for a touchdown.

Panthers’ attack balanced Coach Carl Wenzel said “balanced scoring was the most important ingredient” in the 1987-88 season’s success. This year the Panthers finished in second place in the league with a 13-3 record and were 17-5 overall. The Panthers defeated Penn Yan, Victor, Midlakes, Newark, Sodus, Mynderse, and Waterloo twice. Geneva also won games against Whitman and Penfield. In sectionals the Panthers beat Batvia 72-60 and lost 76-69 to Monroe as the Rochester City school shot nearly 70 percent from the field.

One of them was “Rock to the Beat, here performed as the players warmed up for the Midlakes game. At the start of each foul shot, the cheerleaders line up on the sidelines. If the shot is made, they perform the “Ripple.” 42 Cheerleaders Lon Malone ('90) Striving for perfection Friday night basketball games are a big attraction at Geneva High, but did everyone there come just to watch the game, or is there some other attraction? Ever since there was a GHS basketball team, there have been the Panther cheerleaders to urge them on. Jennifer Dougherty, who is cheering for her first year, said, “I really enjoy it. It’s a lot different than when I used to cheer when I was little.” The cheerleaders, who have been coached by Sheryl Wild for six years, do more than just cheer on the team and psyche up the fans. They are the ones who have to calm them down. Former cheerleader Chrissy Khoury, manages the JV squad. She helps at practices and makes up cheers. She also helps with the JV pompom routine. When asked about the hours, Stephanie Evangelista said, It's a lot of fun, but the practices are long and hard.” Practice sessions for both teams included stretches, jumps, cheers for games and competition, and their halftime routines. The girls are also in competition themselves. Each year they go to three competitions, one for the pom-pom routine, one for cheers, and a sectional contest. This year the Varsity placed second and the JV placed third at Gates-Chili in the pompom contest. Last summer the girls placed second in the state at the National Cheerleaders Association camp in Elmira. Stacie Cook and Tricia Spano were nominated for All-Americans. Cheerleading is definitely a sport in which many long hours are put in to prepare routines. Said Debbie Luzzi, “A lot of people think we don’t work as hard as other sports, but we work just as hard and sometimes harder.” — Laura Abraham, Jenny Abbott JV Cheerleaders: Front — Jennifer Perry, Stephanie Evangelista.

Cheerleaders ' 43 Lon Malone ('90) JV’s, Frosh show promise The JV Boys Basketball team ended its season with a record of 17-3. Coach Guy Spader, Jr., felt that his team was a very steady group who worked hard and progressed very well.” The boys were led by Eric Robinson, who ended the year with 322 points, and Isaac Collins, who contributed 286 in the scoring. In a 80-57 win over Waterloo, five Panthers — Bill Turturro, Collins, Steve Trunzo, Robinson, and Peter Graves — hit double figures. In the Livonia Tournament, the JV's defeated Greece Athena in the first round and went on to beat the host Bulldogs. In that game, Jason Longo scored with one second left to lift the Panthers to a 58-57 victory. 44 JV Basketball Spader pointed out that the last three JV teams have a combined record of 51 and 5. The reason for this may have been the addition a few years ago of a freshman basketball team which seasons the boys for higher levels of competition. This year, the ninth graders ended their season with a 9-9 record. In a close game against Victor, Ernie DeGraw grabbed a rebound and scored as time ran out to give the frosh a 58-57 win. Coach Terry Muflley said that in a win over Penn Yan, team was led by Perry Wright, Justin Seidel, and Shawn Hart. Matt Irland averaged 19.3 points a game and DeGraw averaged 12 rebounds. — Sarah Decker With 10 points, Sophomore Pete Graves led the JV's in scoring in both games against Newark.

Freshman-JV Basketball 45 Varsity improves as JV’s show promise As they break from the huddle, basketball teams are often heard yelling “work hard! This catch-phrase can definitely be applied to this year's Varsity Girls Basketball team despite their 4-16 record. The best example of the teams hard work was their turning a 29 point loss to Canandaigua in their first meeting into a 23 point victory in their second outing. Another of the year’s highlights was beating arch rival DeSales in the DeSales Christmas tournament, only to fall short to Midlakes in the final. The hard work ethic is exemplified by Sharon Steadman and Liz Wright who both strived to improve their skills. Neither had played basketball before this year. Coach Pat Luzzi said, “I enjoyed coaching this team, not only because of the best girl athletes in the school but also because the team has great attitudes and worked to improve every day.” This year’s co-captain and top scorer was Pam Chilbert, who averaged in double figures. The other co-captain was Sarah Decker, who Coach Luzzi called a good all-around player. Both Chilbert and Decker were chosen to play in the Outstanding Senior Performer game that was held at CCFL. Seniors Tracey Todd and Leigh Augustine rounded out the veterans on the squad. Next year, despite losing six seniors, there will be three returning players and more coming up from the program. For the JV team, it was a year of promise. Coached by Ed Mundy, the JV team compiled a 14-6 record. The JV’s were led by Devra Rivkin and Elaine Bogart, whose performances on the JV level earned them playing time with the Varsity team. Both Freshmen Renata Rivkin and Shell Bynum both helped the Panther cause. In a 44-27 win over Waterloo, the two combined for 33 points. The Girls JV Basketball team is young and many of the players gained experience that will be valuable for next year's team — reported by Steve Liberatore and John D'Agostino Against Waterloo, Renata Rivkin had 20 points in a 44-27 Panther win. In a 30-29 home win over Marcus Whitman Elaine Bogart (right) scored from the free throw line to give the Panthers the victory with one second left. 46 Girls Basketball Paul Goodman ('88) Varsity Girls Basketball: Front — Pam Chilbert Veronica Ransom.

Bowlers win title; matmen, honors Coach Anthony Khoury will never forget the date Feb. 10, 1988. That was the day that the Panther Bowling Team, which had started the season at 12-0, clinched their first ever league title by defeating Mynderse 7-2. This year the starting bowlers were Pat Malcuria, Chris John, Scott Rager, Brian Prater, and Mike Thomas. Malcuria, who led the team to a 36V2-3V2 record, won the individual title in the Christmas tourney with high triple (617) and game (233). Two high points of the year were the team’s defeating 20 teams to win the Christmas tournament and having posted a 19-1 record halfway through the season. As the bowlers opened with a win, so did the wrestlers, who defeated Cato-Meridian 36-28 in the season’s first match. The team, coached by Tom Notebaert, recorded other wins including meets with Bath, Hornell, and Mynderse. At the annual Panther Invitational Tournament held in early January, Tom Vazquez, Bob Pollino, Chris Mittiga, and Jayson Post earned championships. Pollino was the recipient of the Donald Knisely Memorial Award while Post received a plaque for being a three-time champ. In addition, Eric Eckenrode placed third. The season had its highlights. Geneva placed fifth out of 23 teams in the Section V Class B tourney which was held in Geneva. Vasquez, Pollino, Mittiga, Post, and Eckenrode (champ in his weight class) advance to the Section V state qualifying round held at Ge-neseo State College on Feb. 26. At those super-sectionals, Pollino made it farther than any other wrestler had in five years. The 105-pounder made it to the finals, losing by just one point in overtime.

The girls were led by seniors McGowan and Brownell. Pinckard and Crawley will be fixtures on the team for the future. Coach Mike Canale said of the girls team that they are very young and getting better. In Boys Varsity Swimming wins were hard to come by. Individual standouts on this years team were juniors Andy Scaglione and Mike Ferreri. Scaglione had first place finishes in the breaststroke, while Ferreri had firsts in the 110 freestyle. Seniors on this years team were John Choffin, John Robbins, who swam the 400 freestyle and Joe Spina who swam the 200 medley relay and 400 freestyle. Hope for a prosperous future is with eighth grader Pieter Van-Horne who recorded first place finishes for the Panthers. Also returning next year will be juniors Ferreri, Scaglione, and Bryan Trickier. — Reported by Devra Rivkin and Christine Bennett Indoor Track 51 Monica Wright ( 88) Joining one of the various clubs at GHS is one way of keeping pace with your friends and with school life. Even though there were fewer clubs this year than in the past, there were many groups to choose from depending on what your interests were. Those interested in school government could run for positions on either the Student council or on the newly organized Student-Faculty Senate. If foreign culture inter- m ested you, you could join the Spanish Club or the French Club. There were also clubs that worked researching some of the problems of today. The United Nations Club debated the issues facing the world in the area of politics while in SMAD, Students Make A Difference, members discussed way of combating drug abuse. Other clubs active in school life kept pace with the activities of the students. 52 Clubs Meetings of the Student-Faculty Senate are held every other Wednesday in the library. The organization, which is made up of students from all four classes and teachers, was formed at the end of the 86-87 school year.

Jayson Post Council, Senate involve students According to teacher and Student Council adviser Donald Ninestine, “Student Council gives our students an opportunity to participate in government and put theory from the Government course into practice. Many students participated in student government this year. Homeroom representatives were elected in a general class election instead of by homerooms. This new method was established to get people who want to be involved in student government elected, instead of people who were randomly picked by homeroom teachers,” according to Bill Palmer, council president. Other officers were Jenni Sherman, vice president; Erica Cooney, secretary; Sarah Decker, treasurer; and Lauren Addona, Student Representative to the Board of Education. These officers worked all summer thinking of ideas that would bring the spirit back to the student body. The council did succeed in bringing a jukebox to the lounge and in sponsoring several dances. Ninestine explained, ‘‘Student Council handles the social activities while the new Student-Faculty Senate deals entirely with school policy. The Senate solved many issues during the past year. A lower grade point average for Senior Honor Pass holders and a new dress code which included shorts were instituted. Junior Class Senator Joe Midiri got involved in the Senate because he wanted to voice his opinion on different issues, and “it was something new and different.” Librarian Jan Rao was on the original committee that set up the Senate. She became involved because she saw the need for a teacher-student group.” Student government gives the members of the GHS community a chance to experience democracy in a different way than from a textbook. — Sarah Decker Members of the new Student Faculty Senate are Abby Beckman, Ron Passalacqua, Sarah Decker.

Kathy Rook (StoWom Studio) Band works on halftime routines Each football season the Marching Band is hard at work preparing a different routine to entertain the fans at halftime. All the members meet each Tuesday and Thursday from 7 to 8 to practice marching on the field. Senior Dorn Mattingly said, I feel that Marching Band is an experience I will never forget. It’s great when you are performing and get things correct and precise. The one thing that I will miss the most will be the crowd s approval and participation in the songs we play.” The band also practices marching for the annual Spookeree Parade as well as for the Memorial Day and Apple Blossom parades in the spring.

Ron Passalacqua. for instance, was a member of the Student-Faculty Senate; Krissy Khoury served on Youth Court: Leah Abraham (foreground) coached the YMCA Swim Team, and Chris Brown was a member of the orchestra for the school musical. NHS inducts new members Character, scholarship, leadership, and service — these are the four areas which a student must fulfill in order to become a member of the National Honor Society. The NHS induction of new members came in October of 1987. There were five seniors and 12 juniors inducted into the organization. There was a total of 45 students in the group. Members had to maintain a GPA above 3.0 and be active in school extra-curriculars and in the community to be considered for membership. At monthly meetings, fund-raisers and service projects were discussed. The service projects are a must in order for the GHS National Honor Society to retain its charter. Last year NHS installed seat cushions at the Smith Opera House and tutored other students. This year various ideas were proposed, such as ringing the bells at Christmas for the Salvation Army. In January of 1988, the GHS group invited the Canandaigua National Honor Society to come to our school for the day. They visited our classes and saw what went on during the day,” stated Amy Clark, president of the NHS. Clark hoped that this visit would inspire an invitation from Canandaigua to visit their school. — Erika Fothergill Vice-president Betsy McCormack (right) inducted fellow swimmer Gretchen Shultz during the ceremony held October 29. 1987.

Fruitful year for Varsity Club This year’s Varsity Club consisted of 62 people with the presidents being Liz Wright and Steve Liberatore. The secretary-treasurer was Jennifer Brownell. To get into Varsity Club an athlete must have at least two Varsity letters and be at least a sophomore. These requirements were raised last year to make it more difficult to get in. As with every year, Varsity Club organized the Block G dinner. This is held annually to honor the best athletes and coaches in the Geneva schools. The Most Valuable and the Most Improved athletes receive plaques for their efforts. Many sports give out their own awards in addition to the two specific ones mentioned. The Block G dinner can be a time to meet with your friends. Junior Gretchen Shultz commented, “Block G is a good time to get together with all your teammates again and talk about all the memories you had.” Senior Bill Palmer agreed with Shultz, “It is a lot of fun and provides a good chance to get together with your fellow athletes.” — Steve Liberatore Honored at the Block G sports banquet their junior year were Jennifer Brownell and Derek Radtke (right) who were named most dedicated in track. Both also received plaques for being three-sport participants and went on to run indoor track their senior years. 60 Varsity Club Among the coaches presenting awards were John Natti. Randy Grenier, and Terry Muffley. At the '87 banquet, Lisa Gonyea was named most valuable fall cheerleader. Her senior year, Gonyea cheered during the winter season. In bowling, Chris John (above) was the most improved. Mike Thomas was MVP his junior year and Pat Malcuria was the Bowling Association's bowler of the year. Varsity Club I 61 Something for everyone — including the bookworms! If you have some spare time and don't know what to do with it, you could join one of the various clubs at GHS. There’s the Spanish Club for language students taking espahol, the Library Club for bookworms, the UN Club for those who love debating, and for those of you who like an intellectual challenge, there’s the Chess Club. One of the bigger clubs was the Spanish Club, advised by Senora Marien Canale and Senora Rosario Millington. Senora Millington took over halfway through the year when Senora Canale went on a leave of absence. At monthly meetings, they serve various Mexican foods. Last year, three Spanish students went to Spain and the members of the club hoped to travel to Puerto Rico, Mexico, or some other Spanish-speaking country this year. Also in the plans was the Language Fair. You may see some GHS students putting books away or photocopying in the library. These are the members of the Library Club. These students give their time during study halls, lunch hours, and before and after school. Photocopying, labeling shelves, taking carbon copy passes around to study halls and helping with the vertical file are among their many duties as library aides. The aides earn points for each job that they do and whoever receives the most points at the end of each marking period receives a paperback book or a free lunch. Janet Rao, adviser, commented that the students are a lot of help.” She added, ”1 don't know what I would do without them.” The United Nations Club is for students who want to learn more about foreign relations and who like to debate. At the conferences they discuss political issues dealing with various countries. The group has to spend several days preparing for the conferences. On Jan. 8 and 9, they had a conference in Syracuse. The UN Club is not exactly free of expenses. Each member must pay for the conference and hotel fees. They must also take a test on rules which they have to pass in order to take part in the conference. Ron Passalacqua, a junior and an NHS member said that he likes the UN Club because he meets a lot of new people. Pawn, king, knight, and checkmate are terms you must know in order to play chess. The members of the Chess Club meet everyday after school in adviser Cal Adams' room. The president of the club is David Ward. Adams said, The club is small so we don't go to any tournaments yet, but I have hopes for the future.” — Reported by Melanie and Melody Calabrese. After school Hari Rao. Kevin McCann, and Dave Ward meet in Room 302 to play chess, a game ol skill and concentration. The club is open to members of all four classes. 62 Clubs Model UN Club Front — Ron Passalacqua.

Two weeks after graduation for the Class of 1988, but the work will have just been completed on the yearbook as the editors meet the deadline for the supplement to the 1988 book. Work on the yearbook goes on year round, a fact that makes it unique among school activities. This year, co-editors Jenny Abbott, Sarah Decker, Anne Campbell. John D'Agostino, Erika Fothergill, Tom Millington, and Jayson Post started making deadlines in October, and the dust will not have settled until Genevans are working on the second layer of their summer tans.

That meant that the price of the book was raised by SI.00 to pick up that slack and to meet a price increase by the publisher. One way revenue was raised was by selling prints of the endsheet which featured an informal shot of the seniors. In addition, the new deadlines set by Hunter Publishing were a constant thorn in the side of the staff. Since so many of the company's 1987 books had been late, the publisher upped the number of pages due each month. At the Saga's request, the old schedule for submission of pages was approved. But — no allowance was made by the company for the fact that school started a week later than usual. Also, the deadlines, starting with January, were several calendar days earlier than they had been for the 1987 book. It was the toughest year,” said adviser Virginia Loveland, in the 16 I’ve been advising the staff.” In contrast, the Panther’s Pride, the school paper, can set its own deadlines. The nucleus of the paper is the Journalism class taught 4ABC by Mary Lou Strawway. The Pride is printed under the supervision of Bill Mulvey. The editors prepare copy on an Apple Macintosh LaserWriter Desktop Publishing System. The copy is then run on an offset printing system in the communications lab. Members of the Pride include Frances Blair, Dana Caito, Melody Calabrese, John Campbell, Wilson Diaz, Bill Meringola, and Amanda Venuti. A banner urging students to order their yearbooks was designed by Mary Teague. Sam Cosentino ('86) Publications 65 66 Student Lite In high school, a student’s life is very busy. Homework takes up some, but not all, of a student’s time. Athletics, clubs, dances, and special events fill up the rest of the day. Homecoming was the first major event of the school year. The class floats were judged and a new queen was crowned. The fall play Auntie Mame and the OQ formal came in November, followed by the debut of our own jukebox in the cafeteria. The rest of the year flew by fast and soon the musical The King and I, the prom, the Block G Banquet, and the Senior Banquet had come and gone. Along with all these events were the everyday things that make up a student’s life outside school — part-time jobs, parties, hobbies, and leisure time for music. The year came to an end with com mencement ceremonies for the graduating class at the Smith Opera House. Although the year was over, it was a year to look back on, remember and smile about — a school year crammed with lively memories for the students.

In the championship contest, the seniors girls defeated the junior girls by a score of 18-6. Spirit Week was full of events this year. Dress-up days included Nerd Day, Hawaiian Day, and the traditional Red and Black Day. Classes gathered in the halls Titled The Stone Age , the sophomore hall sported pictures of the Flintstones. Members of the Class of 1990 worked on the decorating on the Wednesday and Thursday of Spirit Week. in the middle of the week to take part in the hall decorating contest. The pep rally ended the school week with a cheer. For the second year in a row, the Homecoming football game was played on a Saturday afternoon. The floats paraded through town while the football players warmed up for the big game. During halftime, it was announced that the juniors had won the float contest while their rivals, the seniors, had won the hall decorating contest. The dedication was read, and a trio of teachers — Mrs. Paula Burden. Mrs. Susan Davie, and Mr. Robert Keenan former GHS teachers who had been transferred to the Middle School, were honored. It was then announced that the students had chosen Sharia Pitifer as the 1987 Homecoming Queen. Kathy Rook (Sfottom Studio) 5 f Homecoming 69 Fall production features ‘Auntie Marne’ Played by Sharia Pitifer, Auntie Mame is a wacky, New York City eccentric. The play, which was GHS's fall production, follows her through her ups and downs and is tied together by her unorthodox upbringing of an orphaned nephew (who required no fewer than two actors to play him — Mary Schwamlein as the younger Patrick and Jeff Van Lone as the grown-up Patrick). Mame is not without her strong points, however, and her breezy, unperturbable attitude carries her past the stuffy, thoughtless people who cross her path. Against the unbearably conservative trustee Mr. Babcock (Joe Midiri), the stereotyped Southern clan she married into (Ron Passalacqua, Jennifer Brownell, Jenni Sherman et al) and the impossible Upson family (Passalacqua. Abby Beckman, and Alison Dickson) — Mame prevails. odd: Ito (Eddie Cigna), Norah (Beth Wheeler), ghost writer Brian O'Bannion (Gary Cole), and secretary Agnes Gooch (Christina Khoury). In a unique casting move, director Mrs. Nancy Russell had sophomore Johanna Bloss play five roles. In other play highlights, Passalacqua managed to expand his comedic role by overturning ail of the drinks he was mixing. Cole and Herring each collapsed a sofa when they judged the audience's responses lacking. But for all the fallen bottles, collapsing furniture and the year's first blizzard, the play made it to its final curtain call, prompting Mr. Cigna to say: “Okay. I’m going to give you guys one more chance. — Melissa Herring Costume co-ordinator Caroline Brown scoured the area for the actors' outfits. She found one of Vera's dresses In the Linden Exchange. Accenting her eccentricity are her equally wacky companions led by Vera (Melissa Herring), Ralph Devine (Dominitius Mattingly), and Lyndsay Woolsey (Mike Milligan).

Fall Play 71 J.U , 1 On the road What’s the matter with the car I'm driving? asked Billy Joel in his classic song about rock 'n roll. The parking lot at the high school shows a cross-section of vehicles, some to be admired. Sophomores Rodney Lennon and Sonya Crawley felt that some of the better cars driven by students were Kim Kenny's Corvette, Craig Woznick's Toyota Celica, and Joe Nicholson's Audi. At the other end, the notorious “junks” were owned by Jeff Potter. Christine Johnson, and David Boone Potter, who owns a 1975 sports van, rebuilt the engine and did all of the other repairs himself. Early in December, Johnson went into mourning over her heap when it was rearranged and had to be taken off the road. Another junker is owned by junior Ros DeGraw who said it often lets her down, especially when she’s in a hurry. Truck owners Marshall Ansley and Stan Senack disagreed on what brand of truck was the best. Ansley emphasized, “Fords just don't have it like the Chevys do!” Senack, on the other hand owns a Ford truck. “I always liked the looks of Ford trucks,” he said. The grills are tough-looking, and when I'm out cruising, I just put the tailgate down and I have an instant party. Still another form of transportation for students is three and four-wheeled All Terrain vehicles. Freshman Mike Todd was given a three-wheeler by his grandfather three years ago. Todd had to pass a safety course to get his license. Nothin's the matter with the car you're driving — so long as you’ve got the wheels! — Sarah Decker BOCES students Jade Smithover, David Huie. and Becky Allen make a daily trip by bus to Flint and the Finger Lakes Vocational Center. School buses such as the one pictured right are a familiar type of wheels for GHS students. 72 Student Life Even though many students dream of owning a Corvette or a Lamborghini, most are content, like junior Wally Morabito (left) to own a used Ford or Toyota for their wheels. Three-wheeler enthusiast Mike Todd rides his ATV in the orchards at the Experimental Station. Truck owners Stan Senack (left) and Marshall Ansley (above) agreed that they are happiest to own trucks when they are driving in snow and deep mud!

GHS hunters include (clockwise) Senior Gavin Deane, Junior Steve Riccione. Senior John Choffin. and Sophomore Scott Ramsay. Ramsay's bow is a recurve bow. What makes it unique is that there are no sights and you go by instinct. 74 Student Life Outside G H S Many students’ lives just don’t revolve around school; they take part in activities outside of school such as hunting, fishing, hockey, and karate. Some of these activities can last all year like hunting while others last only certain months. Such is the case for hockey. A few reasons by Geneva Generals on why they play hockey are that they feel their best when playing and that it is one of the best sports.” Junior John Eades has played hockey for ten years because It is what I enjoy most.” Senior Joe Nicholson, who got interested in the sport because of Generals Coach Sam Smock, plays hockey because it is a great challenge.” Another activity is karate. An anonymous senior said that he became interested in karate “through movies” and now practices it for both the exercise and for self-defense. He went on to add that no special qualifications are needed for karate, but when a junior was asked, he commented that you need an avid interest and must be willing to do hard work. Hunting and fishing are sports that can occupy people for the whole year. Some people, though, are not year-round hunters. Senior Gavin Deane hunts only in the winter months. Others, like junior Steve Riccione. hunt all year. Riccione and Deane also went on to add that they mainly hunt for small game and deer. Many people get involved in hunting because of a relative, like John Choffin. whose uncle got him interested, while others, like Scott Ramsay, says his father got him interested. Ramsay, unlike other hunters mentioned, hunts with bow and arrow. Fishing is another example of a sport that can last all year. Chris Bonetti, a junior, said that he fishes year-round for trout and salmon, while others, such as Jeff Wright, fish only in the summer — for anything — Reported by Sarah Decker, Tom Millington, John D'Agostino Arden Acquilano (’87) Depending on the weather. Paul Goodman said that he skins the deer within one to three days. Student Life 75 Rock and Roll Never Forgets ' sings Bob Seager. Well, I believe it's true. From Dokkett to Bon Join, Public Enemy to L L Cool J, U2 to 10,000 Maniacs, and the Doors to Bob Marley. songs that we hear and like now will be part of our memories in the future. The nice thing about music is that no matter where ufe come from or what our interests are. there is always some type of music that we can get into or some artist with whom zoe can identify. One way people get into music is reflected in the Rock Squad. Making up that group are rapfiers Ben and Rich Cosgrove and Bill and Rich Kerr. The group get together last fall. Practices are held at the Kerr's house. They mainly stick with scratching and haw made a few tapes. The Hobart radio station gave them air time earlier this year. Senior Brad Davie likes to spend time in his basement scratching and rapping. Brad occasionally Dj's and has a large personal record collection. Senior David Boone says he's always been interested in music. He has played the alto saxophone since fourth grade and five years ago learned to play the synthesizer. Boone's interest can be shown in his 150-album collection. Boone, who has dee-jayed at some of our school dances, says, Music is my favorite pastime. His half-hour da ily practices haw paid off awards such as one from the United States Achievement Academy and his listing in Who's Who in Music for both his junior and senior years. Boone plans to attend the Berkley School of Music in the fall. Drummers in GHS include Mark Urbano and Bob Besley. Urbano got his drumset for Christmas this year and started playing in fourth grade. Besley now plays in a band with guitarist Bob Montfort. That band practices every weekend for about three hours a night. Beslysaid, 1 low my drums. Unfortunately, I'm still paying for them! Yet another uwy of getting into music is by dancing. Sophomore Rick Campbell learned his mows by watching Michael Jackson's videos Bad and The Way You Make Me Feel. Campbell conducted an impromptu dance contest with Josh Cohen r after school. He commented, I do it for fun! I think that's why so many people can enjoy music. It’s fun. it’s relaxing, atui it helps us to remember special times and special people in our liivs. — Anne Campbell Tkt Ut I ' Hold ‘ GOING THE What interest did the ’49ers of California and the athletes of the Winter Olympics share? That's right! G-O-L-D! There are even students right here at GHS who go for the gold, but in their own ways. Athletics, scholarship, and service are three ways in which students strive for success. Athletics is an important part in the lives of people who put some time aside each day to improve their techniques in a certain sport. For Wendy Marsh, Heather Young, and Eric Eckenrode, this is true. All three athletes agree that there is not much time for social life, but they’re having fun, and that’s what is important. Marsh, a gymnast, practices three hours a day, four days a week at the Auburn YMCA under the guidance of her coach, Don Aldrich. Marsh, who competes at the state and national levels, felt the pressure of competitions, as did Young and Eckenrode. An equestrienne, Young is the owner of a Morgan and an Anglo-Trake. She competes in horse shows all summer long and on weekends in the spring and fall. Heather was named fourth overall North American Junior Champion and has won numerous ribbons. According to Eckenrode, a four-year Varsity wrestler at 167, Wrestling is a tough sport because it is one one-on-one, and if you make a mistake, you must recover on your own. In wrestling, there is the pressure that is put on the body by competing a grueling six minutes and by having to Section V Class B champ Eric Eckenrode had a 28-5-1 season record and chalked up 12 pins. lose weight. Commenting on his Section V Class B title, Eckenrode said, It was like a dream come true!” This year, as all others, has produced GOLD its scholars. Among the most outstanding are the top five of the graduating Class of 1988. The valedictorian was Abby Beckman, who said that her secret was to make sure I know the materials. Salutatorian Jeff Devaney and Jenny Abbott, fourth in the class, both claimed that they didn’t study much at all. Third in the class, Kristen Davis studied until she felt “totally prepared” while Eckenrode, who was fifth, studied “only when I have to.” In high school, students have a very full schedule, but there are some who find time to help others. Seniors Lisa Gonyea and Tracy Doty regularly gave up their study halls to go to North Street and work with a child who was experiencing some kind of trouble at home or at school. Michael Marsh was also involved in the community. Marsh liked “to create his own events” and that is what he did for an Eagle Scout project. He arranged for the residents of two nursing homes to come to the high school to see a combined band and choral performance. In the future, will these achievers at GHS be the people in the news? Some may be politicians, college professors, movie stars, or future Olympic stars. They might not all be famous in several years, but they all will still be going for the gold. — Reported by Jennifer Bottorff, Leah Abraham, Erika Fothergill In the YMCA National Gymnastic meet in Redland, Cal. Wendy Marsh place 80th out of over 600 competitors. 78 Student Life Being involved in activities such as Varsity Swim Team and three bands didn't stop Michael Marsh (left) from serving the community. The sophomore feels that to have a lot of people involved is one of the most important aspects of service. All through her four years of high school, senior Abby Beckman (below, center), has maintained an outstanding G.P.A. while being on Swim Team and in school plays. Finding time to help other people isn't easy for Joe Midiri (above) who placed fourth in the American Legion Oratorical Contest and is a member of the Student Senate.

The first three years in high school you spend looking to the top spot, being a senior, and looking forward to being one, but a lot goes on along the way. As a freshmen you’re on the bottom step looking up while the upperclassmen look down on you. It’s a year of changes, including a new school, new classes, and new friends. Sophomores are on the next step. You’re not on the bottom but have not reached the status of “upperclassmen.” By sophomore year you’re used to the school, but now you’re faced with more difficult courses. Juniors are now “upperclassmen and almost on the top rung — just one more year. As a junior you face probably the hardest year of all in high school. You face what seems like hundreds of tests including Regents exams and the dreaded SATs. These too are all a way of climbing to the top. 82 Underclassmen According to the Regents Action Plan, juniors such as Roger Morse.

Monica Wnght ( 88) 84 Underclassmen High school years are said to be the best four years of your life. Lifelong friends are made, and even a future husband or wife may be found. It is a time when some of the best memories are made. But, even with all the benefits of high school, students have found that the work is much more difficult as they move from freshmen to juniors. When students reach their freshmen year, they are faced with a large number of problems. Being the youngest in a new school is just one of the adjustments freshmen have to make. As one member of the Class of 1991 said, I never thought that things would be so different than they were in junior high!” Greater amounts of homework and stricter teachers are two major adjustments that freshmen are faced with. Although it is scary at times, freshmen year is also the year that students make many new friends and begin to learn about life in the grown-up world. Sophomores feel that they have “taken one step up the ladder” as one sophomore said, With one year under their belts, the tenth graders feel superior to the freshmen, although they are not yet upperclassmen. Knowing what is expected makes it much easier to face the difficult junior year. The junior year is the year that students have to bear down and do their best. It is also the year that most students get their drivers licenses and a part-time job. Students are now considered upperclassmen, and more is expected of them. One of the biggest highlights of high school, the prom, is on many juniors' minds. This is the first year in which they can ask someone to go. Juniors must begin planning for college at this time, which adds to their frustration, but knowing that in one year they will be seniors encourages them to do their best. Soon will come the day when students have to part. As future graduates, most many of us are in no hurry. It will be sad to say goodbye to the friends that were made, but luckily there are always memories. Knowing this, many underclassmen make the best of their high school years, knowing that they won't last forever. — Jennifer Bottorff The sophomore Class showed their spirit in the 1987-88 Homecoming by building a Stone Age float.

What would you do? Would you change all the rules and fire the teachers you dislike? Andre Fratto, Jackie Harrison, Jim Jacobs and Chris Sharman had some ideas. Some of the members of Mrs. Lovelands's 1 ABC English 9 class strike a pose on general principles. One change they agreed on would be to extend lunch and increase the portions of food. Other changes would be to give students a few more minutes between classes and allow them to go out for lunch. When asked if they would be more or less lenient than Mr. Cigna, all four felt they would not be as strict in order to promote a feeling of freedom among the students. Sharman said, “Everyone makes mistakes.” and he would go easy on the students. Harrison believed that she would be more lenient but admitted, she would probably do the same as Mr. Cigna. “I never found anything wrong with him so far, ” she commented. Although they would like more than one day to get the feel of being the principal, they can appreciate the job Mr. Cigna is doing. These students have a general idea of what they would do if they had a chance to be principal for a day. Why don't you stop and think what you would do the next time you are ready to criticize the principal? Remember, he is only doing his job. — Devra Rivkin Among the students who use the lounge as a place to relax and socialize are Sean Fogarty and Doug Wisor.

This may be true in some cases, but most of the Class of 1991 believe this may have stopped. Granted, we do go through upperclassmen budging ahead of us in the cafeteria and shoving us in the hall (Are they that anxious to get to class?), but a lot of freshmen are guilty of budging and shoving too! We asked some freshmen their opinion on this. When questioned, Anina Olsen stated that although she does get picked on, it is not Students in Latin I. including Karen Palmer and Jennifer Dougherty, spend their time learning to read, write, and speak Latin. because she is a freshman. She has been picked on for most of her life! But when asked if she was going to pick on the freshmen when she is an upperclassman, she said, probably. Chuck Schading gets picked on because of his height. They called me Smurf, and I'm tired of getting stepped on in the halls, he said. Even though he doesn’t like getting picked on, he said, Of course I'll pick on the freshmen — my brother will be one. Another freshman, Yevette Collins, said, “I do get picked on because of my brother not just because I'm a freshman. She too will pick on freshmen when she's an upperclassman. Eric Barnes replied he does get picked on. mainly by seniors. Chris Sharman said that once in a while the upperclassmen will say rude things to him because he’s a freshman. He also said that when he’s an upperclassman, he will not put the freshmen through any torture because he will think back and remember what it felt like. Based on these statements, we conclude that freshmen are not getting picked on as much as in the past years. A lot of the freshmen do get picked on, but not just because they are freshmen. Maybe in the future the upperclassmen will stop the childish games that they play with the freshmen — Laura Abraham, Jennifer Reidy Freshmen Officers: Andy Cooney. Vice Pres..

With five sets of twins in the school, it’s possible you are. The Calabreses — Melanie and Melody — and the Nicholsons — Brian and Mark — are the two sets of twins in the sophomore class. Like everything else there are the good and bad points. The Nicholsons like the companionship and friendship. The worst part about being a twin “is the rivalry said Brian. Melanie Calabrese feels one of the worst parts is that people think that “because we look the same, we have the same personalities.” Another is that “you always have to share your birthday and sometimes your friends, according to Melody. Having someone to talk to and share problems with is a plus for all the twins questioned. They included juniors Janice and Janette Hart and Tony and Tammy Cunningham and freshmen Devra and Renata Rivkin. Getting away with things by blaming each other is easy since the Harts look so much alike and are easily con- fused by anyone. To Janice that's the good thing about being a twin. But the bad thing, according to the sisters, is when they go shopping and end up buying the same clothes just in a different color, which they earlier agreed not to do! Tony and Tammy Cunningham are fraternal twins who can sense what the other is feeling. Whenever Tammy is sick, I usually don’t feel well myself,” explained Tony. Being a twin has its ups and downs. Said Tammy, “Whenever I get into an argument with a guy, I’m glad I have a twin brother. But I hate sometimes being a twin ’cause then I can’t be the baby of the house. Being twins has brought the Cunninghams closer because they “have learned to respect and confide in each other. As Tammy commented, “I always felt that what belonged to me should be half Tony’s. Renata and Devra Rivkin join most of the same activities, but “It’s not because we're alike,” said Renata. “The reason is that we both grew up playing the same sports, so it’s natural we'd want to play any sport we could. Advantages and disadvantages come with looking like a sibling, but if they ever decide not to be a twin, all they have to do is leave the other one at home. — Reported by Cindy Palmer, written by Jenny Abbott 90 Sophomores Isaac Collins Stacie Cook James Coon Benjamin Cosgrove Richard Cosgrove Lasondya Crawley Nikki Lynn Crouse Gilberto Cruz Laura D'Agostino Dominick uardano Jackson DeBolt Dale R.

Well then, it must have been 1984 What must have been in 1984? The answer: the last, the very last, snow day was back in 1984. You remember! That was the day that you got out of doing homework, taking that dreaded biology test that is always scheduled for a lab day, and eating that dreaded school food. Snow days have been very rare in the past few years. Despite this fact, the sophomores remember vividly what they do when they have a snow day off from school. Chrissy Bennett: I go skiing at Bristol Mountain. Wilson Diaz: I catch up on a fewZ's, do homework, and use the snowblower for the driveway. Steve Dolgos: I sleep and burn school work in the fireplace to keep warm.” Lisa Giovannini: I huddle under my covers and hibernate. Trieu Harman: I sleep in like most sensible teenagers!

Dave Ward: I get up early and go snowmobiling. Isaac Collins: I sleep and watch TV soaps.” Craig Leisenring: I go back to sleep fora while and then shovel the driveway.

During the spring of 1987, several GHS students and their chaperones got a chance to discover the answers Debra Robbins.Latin teacher, and Phyllis DeVito, school nurse, took eight Latin students to Italy, while three Spanish students traveled to Spain with chaperone Margaret Zimmerman JoAnn DiDuro. Dawn Bigger, and I departed for sunny Spain on April 15; two days later, the Latin students took off on their adventure. The trips certainly did not lack for excitement; Robbins and her group always had to rush to catch their flights. The Spanish students also had their share of excitement. We had a fire at our hotel on the first night! exclaimed Bigger. Excitement wasn't the only similarity in the two trips. As one Latin student put it, All we ever had to eat for breakfast in Italy was hard rolls — I would have given anything for a bowl of Fruit Loops!” The best solution for John Robbins, a third-year Latin student and member of the Swim Team, was to go to the nearest McDonald's.” Many of the group ended up doing just that. All the travelers had to buy bottled mineral water if they chose not to drink the tap water. For the Spanish turistas. the fun began as soon as they left and continued throughout the trip as they experienced a new culture. The sites the students took in were fantastic. The Latin group started in Florence, the home of Michelangelo's David”, then went on to Rome where the Colosseum stands. They worked their way south to Sorrento, Joe Spina’s favorite spot because he liked the glamorous hotels and the Italiano girls!” We Spanish tourists also saw some great sites — the Royal Palace in Madrid, the Roman aqueduct in Segovia, a flamenco show in Sevila, Tangiersin Moracco, and the beaches of Tor-relmollinos. The two groups experienced the problems of turistas” in foreign countries. DiDuro, a basketball cheerleader, got a different twist from what she had expected. She said, When I tried to order two different flavored ice cream cones, I got one cone with two different flavors in it.” All returned with a lot of fond memories of their trips and of new friends.

In Feb. 1987, four GHS juniors started on their way to making that dream a reality. The four became certified in Red Cross Advanced Lifesaving, which is certification required in New York State in order to guard at most pools. Freddy Scutt and Lynn Broderick, Keeping up his involvement in athletics, lifeguard Steve Cataline was on the 1987 Varsity Football Team. 100 Juniors GHS biology teacher, were in charge of the course. The curriculum consisted of personal safety, assists, carries, holds, releases, escapes, first aid, and boating safety. Both a written test and a water test were given at the end of the course. Once received, Advanced Livesaving certification is valid for three years. When questioned about the difficulty of the course, Jeff Braun, who had been a member of the high school Swim Team, quipped, “for most people, it would be kinda hard.” Volleyball player Sharon Steadman said, “The hardest part of the water test was waiting for it to start.” Usually the water test makes the students extremely nervous. However, Steve Cataline disclaimed any shakiness at all. Mrs. Broderick saw it a bit differently: “I know they were nervous because I tested them.” she maintained. They were shaking in the water!” Joey Spina, who admitted that the water test made him nervous, said, The hardest part was the double wrist release. The guy I was rescuing” twisted the wrong way and I couldn't hang on to him.” All four received their certificates. Braun and Cataline guarded at the Country Club during Junior Kristin Addons (center) worked at the Country Club as a lifeguard last summer.

No matter how small the achievement may have been, most of us have set and reached goals for ourselves during this year. Some seniors made this year the one in which they would “bring up their grades while others strived to reach personal goals in certain subjects or in sports. A number of our class spent two years at BOCES in Flint, studying a specialty so that they will have the skills and experience to get a good job right after they graduate. Others’ goals were on a different level. They included things like raising the money to buy a super stereo or a dream car or to finally being able to go on a trip by themselves — without their parents. But perhaps the biggest success that the senior class has realized is the success of our friendships and our memories of the awesome group that made up the Class of 1988 — Anne Campbell ■ Sam Cosentino ( 88) Imagine giving up Big Macs and pizza for three months of your senior year!

Four seniors made their mark in various activities, Dom Mattingly was honored as black scholar: Beth Wheeler was in a movie: and Derek Radtke and Pat McGhan participated in the Empire State Games. Mattingly received his award through Rochester’s Urban League.

Pat McGhan. Back — Dominitius Mattingly and Beth Wheeler. A notice in the newspaper about casting for Lady in White caught Wheeler’s attention. She went to Lyons where the movie was to be filmed and got a part. She met a lot of people there and she had to handle big responsibilities. This opportunity gave Wheeler “a few ideas” about movie-making, but she said there is no guarantee of getting a job in a movie. Her advice for anybody who has an opportunity to do this sort of thing? “Do it, she said, because it is a once in a lifetime event. Radtke first became involved in pole-vaulting at Coach Mike Canale’s request. A rigorous program of running, swimming, and weightlifting was complicated by an injury. However, through hard work, Radtke placed second in area competition last spring. Later on he signed up for tryouts for the Empire State Games at Buffalo. He beat out another athlete by making an 11' 6 vault, and from there was on his way to the Empire Games. McGhan's event was the 110 high hurdles. He also tried out in Buffalo, and after qualifying, placed sixth in the finals. As did Radtke, McGhan qualified for the games as an individual: he was not school sponsored. When asked what he gained from the games, McGhan replied, The way I benefited was just by being there and having the satisfaction of going against some of the top athletes in the state.” — Tom Millington Both actors in Auntie Marne, Beth Wheeler (front, second from left) and Dom Mattingly (back) still found time to be in Varsity Singers.

His final two choices were either here or Australia. He ended up choosing America because of the language and the similarities between the two countries. Yasuda wanted to come here because the language is much easier to understand than the Australian form of the King's English. He also said that he wanted to visit the country U.S. schools whose economy was the model for his. When Yasuda first arrived, he wasn’t sure what school would be like here but he found a “loose atmosphere where the pressure to learn wasn't so great as it is in Japan. Because of that, he said that work and study is appealing. He said that the American school is easy and open to students” while the Japanese school is bound by hard and fast rule.” He also likes the diversity of the American school kids because Japanese teachers think it’s better to study than to play sports or be involved in theater. — Steve Liberatore Because of the similarities in the economics of Japan and the U.S., Kaszuhiro chose to visit the States over Australia.

I like mingling with the college students, claimed Tracey Todd when asked about her Kns Saglimbeni ( 88) job at SAGA, the student cafeteria. That seemed to be the attitude of most of the GHS seniors that work at HWS, including Christy Covert, Krissy Saglimbeni. and Steve Liberatore. The need of money for college, clothes, and cars is major reason why most of the students have jobs. Sarah Decker, who's been working at SAGA since her sophomore year, and Anne Campbell both applied at SAGA because of a need for money and because having their parents working at the college made their jobs convenient. Tracey used the money she earned towards purchasing a new car. The work the students do includes everything from preparing and serving food to washing dishes. Kevin Morabito can be seen in action either setting up beverages or scrubbing pots. This can create humorous incidents such as the time one of the workers dropped a whole rack of plates and laughed while they smashed all over the floor. Todd and Campbell recalled a time when a girl whom he had never seen before asked Tony Bohrer out on a date. They also remembered all the food fights and the singing in the dishroom. Working at SAGA is not the only job available After spending his summer at the HWS tennis courts, senior Court Taylor worked during the school year at the Recreation Complex. to GHS students at the college. Court Taylor worked as a tennis court monitor for four summers. Taylor listed the suntan and the good money as benefits of his job. When he took a break from signing people into the courts, Taylor said, I enjoyed relaxing and laughing at all the people that didn’t know how to play tennis. — Krissy Saglimbeni. Seniors 111 Balance politics with classes No organization, be it a school or business, can operate without people who take charge and accomplish what needs to be done. Lauren Addona and Abby Beckman were two such seniors. Somehow they managed to take active roles in GHS government while juggling busy senior schedules. Lauren Addona was the student representative to the Board of Education. Her job was to report school activities to the Board and to keep it informed about activities. When asked if she found this challenging, she said, “Yes, but I enjoy being asked for my input and for the input of the students.” One of the challenges Lauren faced was having her father serve on the Board. She said, “It was fun. I got to see a different side of my dad. It was difficult because some people believed I was appointed because he's on the Board, which was not the case. I was elected by the students.” Lauren, when asked if she had any closing statements, said, “I feel it’s important for the students to be able to voice their opinions and to be aware of Board of Education actions.” Abby Beckman was one of four juniors at GHS last spring to be interviewed to go to Girls’ State, an imaginary 51st state of the Union. She joined hundreds of other junior girls at Cazenovia College the third weekend in June of 1987. When asked what she liked the most about this experience, Abby commented, “I loved meeting new people. It was great to talk about new ideas. Abby was elected late last spring to serve as a senator from the senior class on the new Student-Faculty Senate. She was then voted by the other Senate members to act as chairperson. She commented, “I can't say it was a great responsibility, but I was very honored. I hope I did a good job for everyone. — Lyndsey Brown Although neither is sure about being active in student government in college, both Abby (right) and Lauren (below, at the piano) think that they might give college politics a try.

My brother Bill is the Lighting Director; I hope he pursues his interests in the stage crew.'' 114 Seniors Behind the scenes No one knows how much goes on behind the scenes. For example, Colleen Kolbeck, the drama stage manager, had many jobs. She had to make sure everything went right, especially on production nights. This included having the lights set up and overseeing the props so the stage crew could get them on and off easily. Because of her love for the stage , Kolbeck has worked on stage crew for three years. Richard Lewis, a crew member for one performance, felt work Store managers Cole and Augustine buy most of their inventory from East Pittsman Corp . Larsen s Bells, and Scrantoms. Orders are placed every two weeks. behind the scenes was a different experience.” When Mr. Richard Loveland was put in charge of the school store, he asked Gary Cole and Jason Augustine to act as managers. They are in charge of inventory, publicity, and of course, paying the bills. Complicating their selling job is the fact that a state law limits selling candy, a big item, to the hours after the school cafeteria has closed. This meant the managers had to work from 2:30 to 3 p.m. “Profits, Mr. Loveland said, will be used for academic projects. — Reported by Lauren Addona Carlene B.

They found ways to make that spirit work for them as a class. Late nights and long hours the Class of '88 has worked together, pulling towards their goals at Homecoming, decorating the halls, and winning Powderpuff Football for two consecutive years. Together they concentrated their efforts at sports events, clubs, and, shocking as it may seem, academics. Their work paid off, too, as the class was able to accomplish everything they put their efforts into, making the most of their high school years. They organized a rally of seniors in traditional togas on Crazy Day of Spirit Week before Homecoming. The spirit continued to During Homecoming Week members of the Class of 1988 showed their spirit by parading from the plaza to school in fashion. grow as the Homecoming game approached, and the seniors were able to win the hall decorating contest for the third year in a row. That amazing GHS spirit just kept on growing in the graduating class of 1988. It held them together with an electric bond that only gets stronger as time passes. They just wouldn't let that spirit die, and you know, there’s still some out there lurking in the shadows of GHS, so . . . catch it! — Allison Principio Looking back at the Class of 1988 as freshman it is obvious that they have grown not only in size but spirit, too! Class of 88 exploded with spirit BBe C|ass of '88 had it! No. it's not the cooties, but it is catching. Once you’ve got it, there's no telling what might happen or how long it will last. What is it, you ask? You mean you don't know? It's that awe-inspiring GHS spirit, of course! When they walked through the doors of GHS four years ago as fearful freshmen, they caught a serious case of that spirit, and it’s been getting worse every year! You’ve seen it, all of their four years here, beginning as freshmen, working their way up to sophomores, juniors, and then, finally, seniors. They’ve been the ones bouncing off the walls, almost unable to control that burning spirit within them. 116 Seniors Tracey A.

Seniors 117 Dreams today, realities tomorrow As children we had ideas about what our chosen professions would be. Many of those have changed, but as teenagers, we all have some kind of vision as to what we want our adult lives to be like. In the year 2000, most of us will be in our early thirties and working. The problem is deciding what kind of job. Jack D'Agostino will, hopefully, “be broadcasting Bills' games. Erich Bragg will be working as draftsman or architect. Others have more lofty goals for their future. Pam Chilbert will be the owner of her own fitness center and achieving her other goal of “coaching the first women's pro basketball team.” Said Corey Boatwright, I see myself — 118 Seniors After she graduates from high school. Christy Covert plans to attend college at the State University of New York at Potsdam as a self-made millionaire, riding in a Mercedes and driving through the hills of California. Heather Young will be “a successful vet with a beautiful farm, indoor arena, indoor pool, and fantastic riding and driving horses.” She also hopes to be going to the Olympics for dressage. Many of us not only will be working but also will be married. Eric Eckenrode “will be married, making a lot of money, and happy. Lisa Gonyea will be living a family life, complete with a job, husband, and a couple of kids. Each one of us has goals and will try to reach them in various ways. We’ll have to see if they have come true at our fifteenth reunion in the year 2003. — Jenny Abbott Pictured left, standing in front of West Street School way back when are Steve Jones, Sharia Pitifer. and Erica Cooney. ig a student.

This included working weekends and over vacations to meet deadlines. 120 Seniors Memories, treasures not forgotten Memories. It seems the only thing we'll have left after we walk out the doors of GHS is memories of the best thirteen years of our lives. For some, these memories are of days and nights spent with a large group of friends while for others, their memories are associated with more quiet times. Mementoes of these special occasions include anything from photo albums to prom decorations. Sharia Pitifer. for instance, recalls many of the treasures she's saved. She feels that notes written between her and her friends since sixth grade are her most priceless items, adding that she has' two huge boxes full of everything from movie tickets to old English folders. She also remembers liberating an ashtray from Nicky's because “a certain person had touched it! Nothing would ever induce her to part with these treasures. Useless notebooks, prom and OQ formal pictures, broken hearts — these are what Patti Reidy has accumulated. The notebooks remind her of all the hard work that goes into four years of high school. Patti said the pictures remind her that “guys do indeed know how to dress nicely and still have fun.” Her broken hearts” taught her that love is not easy to find. One memory we have of our younger days is all (hose slumber parties. They started way back in fifth grade (left). Jenny Abbott has tons of stuff which includes postcards and t-shirts. These things are associated with trips she's been on and the Simple Minds concert. The postcards are from friends and relatives in different places. To others it's just a series of six assignment notebooks. But to Betsy McCormack and Laura Neff, the little spiral books contain everything that went on” that they shared with Sarah Decker McCormack remembers when one of the books was misplaced and she feared that her deepest, darkest secrets would become public knowledge. Laura commented, Someday we ll get together to re-read those notebooks. She can't wait to see how time will put a different perspective on their problems.” For Allison Principio, a pair of Italian Stallion” boxer shorts and a stack of diaries sought by many' ’ are treasures. She wore the boxers at all her swim meets to cover her bathing suit — until she lost them on a trip to Italy. The diaries are a different story. She dreamily stated, Maybe someday they'll be published and go to the top of the best seller list. Whatever they are, these special treasures will last forever. School is definitely the place to meet new people and to make priceless memories. — Sarah Decker The grown-up Sarah Decker (pictured left in her uninhibited days) worked at SAGA, played Varsity soccer and basketball and planned to attend a four-year college after graduation. Someday sports editor Jack D'Agostino hopes to be an announcer for the Bullalo Bills Seniors 121 122 Seniors We’ll look back and laugh! Someday after graduation, the Class of 1988 will look back and remember the good old days at GHS. We will remember the sports events, our first date, and the prom. However, some of the things that will stick out the most will be those totally embarrassing and silly times when we wanted to hide our faces because it felt like the whole world had seen us goof up. Corey Boatwright, who attended BOCES for electronics in his senior year, recalled the time that he was a junior on the basketball team. “It was a home game, and our team had just come out in our warm-up sweatsuits, and I went over to the bench and started taking my sweats off. I pulled my sweatpants down and sat on the bench. Suddenly I noticed that not only had I pulled off my sweats, I pulled my underwear off to. Boatwright said that now when he looks back on it, the whole thing seems funny. John Choffin remembers the time as a freshman when he went to visit a college representative in the guidance office. “When I walked in, all that I saw was seniors. That was really embarrassing, ’' he said. Other seniors remember falling in the hallway or dropping their trays in the lunchroom while Sharon Steadman recalls the time she fell walking up the stairs. She said, “My books flew all over. As embarrassing and silly as these incidents seem now, someday we will be able to look back and laugh, and these will be a good part of our memory of GHS. — Anne Campbell Planning to major in elementary education, Carlene Shultz (who practiced typing even as a tot!) will continue her schooling at a four-year college.

Louie hopes to go with the FBI and Tony plans to work on construction. When I grow up “What are you going to do with your life? As seniors, many of us are asked questions like that. As little kids, that question didn’t seem to bother us so much because we had definite ideas about what our careers would be. Those careers covered all sorts of areas. Jennie Sherman yearned to be a truck driver. “I thought it would be terrific to drive across country and meet new people, she explained. Now, steering a 16-wheeler is not so appealing to the SC Vice-president. Being a dancer was a popular choice. Suanne Baroody wanted to be a professional ballerina in a big dance company while Jennifer Brownell used to pretend she was a dance teacher and had my own dance school.” pole when the alarm went off.” Others had different goals. One senior wanted to be a singer and a baseball player. Being on the U.S.A.'s gymnastics team was Jennifer Calhoun's dream. Tom Millington dreamt of being a pilot: There were so many buttons you could push!” Students aren't the only ones who had dreams as a child. One teacher said she wanted to be a cowgirl. Mr. Tepper. said he always wanted to work at the NY Times sports department to meet all the sports stars.” Mrs. Loveland confessed that she wanted to be a nightclub singer —when she wasn't running her own ice cream store. Another choice was becoming a fireman. Both Steve Liberatore and Gimmie Wilson liked that because of the TV shows. (I admit Emergency was my favorite program, too!) Liberatore said he wanted to be able to ride the fire trucks and save cats from trees. “I really liked the sound of the engine,” Wilson admitted. “I thought that it would be fun to slide down the To sum up, Sarah Decker had different dreams. She wanted to be rich and to drive. She now sees what a pain being a chauffeur is. Decker's other wish? To graduate. But, as the time neared, she realized that won't be so great because she, like the rest of us has to answer the question “What do you want to be? — for real. — Jenny Abbott Bathing beauties Joey Spina (left) and Beth Wheeler kept busy their senior year Spina swam on the Varsity Swim team and Wheeler was in both dramatic productions.

They were games of tragedies and triumphs. Tragedy struck speed skater Dan Jansen as he prepared for the race of his life. His sister died that day and the same evening he fell as he raced in his best event, the 500 meter. Later that week Jansen fell as he raced in the 1000 meter; again he fell when it looked as if he were going to win a medal. The rest of the speed skating team dedicated their efforts to Dan and his family and they came through. Eric Flaim won a silver in the 1500 and placed fourth in the 1,000,5,000, and 10,000 races. Bonnie Blair struck gold in the women's 500 meter race and got the bronze in-the 1000 meter. All of the U.S. medals came on ice with Brian Boitano winning the battle of the Brians (Orser of Canada) to get the gold in men's figure skating. Pairs’ skaters Jill Watson and Peter Oppegard won the bronze, while Debi Thomas didn't skate her finest but won the bronze in the women's. Katrina Witt repeated as the gold medalist. The bobsled team which had been buried in controversy came close to a medal in the four-man event but missed the bronze by .02 seconds. Pirming Zubburiggen and Alberto Tombe were the big news in alpine skiing while the American skiers fell short, literally. None of the American men finished the slalom. America’s best finish in the women’s events was Williamson native Diann Roffe’s 12th place in the giant slalom. There were few athletes from the Finger Lakes including men's skiers AJ Kitt and Sandy Williams. The Olympics are for amateurs as Eddy the Eagle Edwards reminded the world. The British ski jumper finished dead last but became one of the most popular athletes at the games. On the national scene in NHL, the Edmonton Oilers won the Stanley Cup by beating the Philadelphia Flyers in seven games. The Los Angeles Lakers won the NBA championship in six games over the Boston Celtics. The Super Bowl was yet another blow out with the Broncos losing to the Redskins 42-10. The Minnesota Twins baseball team went all the way to the World Series winning all four games at home to beat the St. Louis Cardinals. The Division I national champions in football were the Miami Hurricanes. The Syracuse Orangemen finished fourth in the national rankings. Quarterback Don McPherson came in second in the Heisman trophy voting and Coach Dick MacPherson received coach of the year in the East. Earlier, the SU basketball team had lost their chance at the National title to the Indian Hoosiers by one point. Locally, Hobart repeated as NCAA Division III champions in lacrosse against Ohio Wesleyan. Index 145 hat’s entertain This year in entertainment was full of news. Headlines included the scandals involving televangelists Jim Bakker and Jimmy Swaggart. Both were involved with women they shouldn't have been. Bakker. leader of the PTL. was toppled by his encounter with Jessica Hahn, one of the three blondes in the news who looked strikingly similar. The other two were Fawn Hall. Oliver North's secretary, who helped shred evidence of the Iran-Contra affair, and Donna Rice took Gary Hart out of the running for president. He then re-entered the race but finished dismally in the primaries. Moonlighting made some headlines when star Bruce Willis unexpectedly married Demi Moore, while co-star Cybil Sheppard gave birth to twins. On TV. Moonlighting was plagued by re-runs but remained popular as was Who's the Boss, Tour of Duty. LA Law, Wise Guy, Kate and Allie, ALF, and the Cosby Show, thirtysomething and Hooperman were new shows called dramedy” combining drama and comedy without the laugh track of regular sit-coms. The new Fox broadcasting network scored a hit with the Tracey Ullman Show, a comedy-variety show. Saturday Night Live star Dana Carvey became a star overnight as a result of his character the Church Lady. He she was the star of the skit Church Chat and made Isn't that special the phrase of the year. Mark Harmon made appearances on Moonlighting as Maddie’s lover then starred on the big screen in Summer School, which was a hit over the summer. Other popular movies included Three Men and a Baby, Broadcast News, Moonstruck, The Big Easy. Stakeout, La Bamba. The Untouchables, Roxanne, and Good Morning Vietnam, which earned an Oscar nomination. Wall Street, a movie about corruption on the stock market, came out just in time for the minicrash in Oct. and the Ivan Boesky trial. Kevin Costner and Dennis Quaid became popular as a result of the steamy scenes in their movies. On her 50th birthday. Snow White reappeared in theaters everywhere. Beverly Hills Cop II and Outrageous Fortune were two popular comedies from the summer. Many famous entertainers died in the last year. Rita Hayworth, Danny Kaye. Jackie Gleason, James Coco. Ray Bolder (the scarecrow from the Wizard of m e n t ! Oz) and Robert Preston, star of The Music Man. On the music scene. Billy Joel performed a series of concerts in the Soviet Union while Michael Jackson reappeared with the release of his album Bad and started a world tour in Japan. Many popular bands performed closer to home in Rochester. Syracuse, and at the CCFL shell — Def Leppard. Whitesnake. Aerosmith, Sting, the Beach Boys, and Whitney Houston who won the Grammy for best pop female vocal. Topping the record charts were movie soundtracks including ones from Dirty Dancing and La Bamba. U2, the Grammy winner for best album, Whitesnake. Bon Jovi, Michael Jackson, and Paul Simon also had number one albums. — Jennifer Abbott K.................. m of 1988 Olympic Games Kn.

The seniors, who have made tracks in all areas of their high school lives, will go on to the real world. The rest of GHS will return to 100 Carter Road in the fall, ready to make new friends, learn new things, and set new records. Librarian Jan Rao spent a week in February teaching Indian culture to the Global Studies I classes. As part of the presentation, freshmen sampled authentic Indian dishes Craig Cure (right) was one of the students in Mrs. Anne Meyer s classes who learned the proper way to prepare Indian cuisine. 1 ZZ Keeping pace 150 Closing Monica Wnght ( 88) Sam Cosentmo ( 88) Now that we have seen many of the students who have made their mark in academics, the arts, and sports, we have to remember the many who make tracks just by keeping up a steady pace—the students who hang in there, endure, and make it through. It’s important to remember all the students at GHS. because without them, the quality and spirit of the school would be lost. The Varsity Basketball fans cheered the team on to a 17-5 season and a fourth seed in sectional play. In French I, students have to keep up a rapid pace as they learn the fundamentals of French grammar. Biology labs are usually associated with worm dissections, but often they consist of chemical tests, as this one performed by Lori Malone and Melissa Herring.
