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

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.

 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
