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.

Surviving a lecture: helpful hints Rows of blank faces stare forward through lifeless eyes. Only a few occasional yawns disrupt the empty expressions. 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
