1976 . . . Some things about life in OHS in 1925-26 seem odd from our standpoint fifty years later. For instance, although classes were not segregated by sex in '26. there WERE separate stairways, doors, and lunchrooms for boys and girls. Geneva High had only one organized sport in 1926. a boys basketball team. Today the school offers many different sports for both girls and boys. Another fifty years may see Geneva High relocated. In the fall of 1975. a team of State Education Department officials visited the Geneva district and recommended a comprehensive building program which included a new senior high building to house grades nine through twelve. Wherever Geneva High School is in 2026, it will •proudly stand' in the memories of its many alumni.
