 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

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

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.
