They started out their visit Wednesday morning with a tour of the school. During the day they visited various classes along with the library, audio visual center and guidance office Thursday morning the committee met with Mr. Scalise. Mr Maher, and the Chairman of the Steering Committee and visited more classes. Both Wednesday and Thursday afternoon, members of the committee met with a group of randomly selected students to discuss student activities including classes, the cafeteria, the guidance office, sports, dances, and other school related activities. On Friday, final reports were developed by the Middle States Evaluation members and that afternoon the final evaluating oral reports were delivered. mqvijig MIDDLE STATES EVALUATED G H S program in such areas as student activities (above left) as well as the classroom programs such as the lab Brad Smith and Eric Bent sen (above right) are involved in BONNIE MANN.

In the academic areas, two Advanced Placement courses are available. But it is in the Elective areas that the program really shines. Students can select Journalism or Electricity. Gourmet Cooking or Apartment-Dorm Life. Pop Ensemble or Creative Ceramics. Lifesaving or Business Management among other offerings to fill in those blank periods on their schedules Within the area of Industrial Arts. Ecology-Conservation is a comparatively new course Students under the direction of Mr Chapman established a new tulip bed on the south side of the newer wing of the building, planted five new arbor vitae and replaced two Honey Locust trees. In addition to those landscaping projects, the class divided into groups to work on individual interest areas. A weather station, a windmill, birdhouses, a tree variety board, a panther, and a foyer bench were among the projects completed. Top - Amy Baumgartner. JoAnne Cunningham. Becky Harrell. Jackie Peak.

John Priest MRS DIDURO CONGRATULATES Joe after the annual Homecoming khjw MR CURRIE and Liu look at a school display All through our school year, our parents have taken an active part in our programs and activities. Although next year many of our seniors will take that big step away from home, the bonds are not yet broken, for parents still have many opportunities to participate in their sons’ and daughters’ senior year. For instance. GHS has a Boosters Club, comprised of parents who raise money and help out with the Marching Band. The support our athletic teams, musical groups, and dramatic productions receive from our parents is tremendous. And on Parents-Go-to-School Night, any interested parent may visit the school, follow his daughter's or son’s schedule, and meet the teachers. Different school groups even call on adults to assist in chaperoning dances and concerts. All in all. the ties are still strong between seniors and their parents.

INTERESTED PARENTS learn what their sons and daughters do in school on Parents-Go-to-School Night. Clockwise from top- sitting in on a gym demonstration; Mr and Mrs Flowers confer with Mrs Karol; parents learning new math techniques. The halls are quiet, and a lonely solitary step echoes off the lockers. The time is any day before school. There’s no unnecessary communication as Geneva High students permeate into the school from all directions. The halls become dense as the sleepy forms drift slowly along in one mass. The Monday morning blues create a particularly mopey crowd. Half asleep, sophomores, juniors, and seniors fumble with their locks in order to collect books for first period and hopefully collect their wits. too. The warning bell sounds and suddenly, out of nowhere the sleepy bodies shift into gear as they hurry to homerooms in order to avoid Mr. Maher’s 2:35 get together. 6 Opening “«v g� s CLOCKWISE FROM UPPER LEFT: Deb Daykin broods over the prospect with her 8 o'clock study hall Room 14 Bill Gilbert (sans books) and Brenda Cardinalc (her work's done) start the day Neil wishes the school a “good day. First thing on Friday D-Days means a coffee break for Management clast. jturrcihs Before Neal has even finished the afternoon announcements students are eagerly heading out of classrooms and when the final bell signals escape, the corridors are alive with the smiling faces of Geneva High students. It's a struggle to move along the halls since everyone is pushing towards his or her locker. Friends meet and laughter rings out. joining the fast paced conversations Lockers slam as books are thrown in to await future use. All exits are packe i with people fleeing the bonds of classes. Thoughts of fun and freedom overthrow the ruling of school and students charge out to more exciting activities. 2:35 to JeOS means different things to different people To the athletically inclined (top) it's practice time To the socially inclined (center) it's a chance to catch up on the day’s news or to relax - as Joanne Cunningham and Judy Tom ion and Pat Henderson do. To the comically inclined (left) it's a time to relieve the tension of the previous hours as John Jabara does in pep assembly contest. Opening 7 Top to bottom: Lauren and Liz catch a bite to eat between classes; Cooley finishes up his lunch; Michelle shovels it all in; Kelly enjoys a Christmas dinner in Single's Cooking class. 8 Opening Munching out is something that many people take interest in. Whether it’s because of prolonged hunger, a hidden desire for food, or because of indulging in certain activities which bring about the munchies, the students of G.H.S. will no doubt find the time and place to stuff their faces. The cafeteria, school store, Salones and the corner store are common spots where G.H.S. students go to find delectable snacks to munch on. For those students who don’t want to buy food, they can always bring their own. The basketball team always loads up on plenty of goodies before an away trip. There is always a feast brought aboard the ski club bus on its way to Bristol Mountain. A Friday or Saturday night in Geneva is not complete unless you cruise into McDonalds at least once in the course of an evening. Also, food places such as Pudgie’s Pizza. Burger King. Friendly’s, and Pizza Hut have become popular meeting places and hangouts for everyone. Top to bottom: Mike. Kathy, and Beth make their selections in the lunch line, while John anticipates a delicious lunch. Julie quenches her thirst. In recent months if you’ve complained that there’s nowhere to go or nothing to do in Geneva, you haven’t looked very hard. With the rebirth of downtown, there’s something for just about everyone. If you’re the athletic type, you can enjoy the ice-skating at Geneva’s new recreational complex. The newly renovated Geneva Theater provides first rate movies at an inexpensive price, and high class entertainment such as symphonies. For teens who are big on disco, there is one for you right above the theater that is open most weekend nights. For the older high school students, there is the new disco right outside of Geneva, Billy Jacks. If you just want to go where you know there will be people, there’s always the ever famous Finks.” And no one can forget the many activities offered at GHS itself, such as football and basketball, games and plays and musical performances.

Not every day is a “normal ' day at Geneva High. eEvery now and then the students go wild and change their mode of dress. For instance, one day in October students and teachers were seen in such get-ups as Frankenstein. Abraham Lincoln, witches. Raggedy Ann. and clowns. Could this have had something to do with the moon? Or was it Halloween? The day before Christmas vacation was a holiday also. Santa and his elves visited the High School with their bells and caroling as well as delighting students in the elementary schools with their cheer. Couples took a more formal turn the night of the O.Q.. the ladies arriving in gowns and the gentlemen in suits and tuxes. On Homecoming weekend the court dressed in formal wear for the football game. That same week, students wore red and black to support our football team and show their school spirit. Above, the Mob strikes a pose; Dressed to the teeth ; Dressing up for 0 Q. initiation.

The theme for the sixth annual GHS Homecoming held October 26 and 27 was Nobody Does It Better and this year GHS outdid itself to have the best celebration yet. Homecoming has always been a big spirit-booster, and activities started off this year with a spirited pep rally on Friday afternoon. The Student Council chose Mrs. Whiting and Mr. Spader to be guests of honor. The parade through town consisted of the honored guests, the court, the Marching Band, and several floats. The Panthers’ defeat of the Victor Blue Devils by a 10-6 score capped the festivities. The final touch to this event which encouraged all-school participation and enjoyment was a dance featuring the band Manzinita”. ■ TOP LEFT: WE RE SENIORS!: Middle left.

They presented four spirited half-time shows at the home football games. The Band received a standing ovation after their performance at Hobart College. During the City of Geneva s Halloween Parade, they added a special touch to the occasion by showing up in costumes. The Band also marched at the firemen’s inspection. The success of the fifty-eight band members, thirty-one color guards, four majorettes, and four rifle carriers was partly due to their twice weekly 7 A M. practices. On November 21. 1978. the members held their annual Band Day and Band Banquet. The Marching Band is looking forward to competing with other schools in the spring competitions. Marching Band 19 Musicians Maintain busy schedule The concert and stage bands have given five concerts this year, including one which was a classical presentation. Several musicians participated in the All-County StageBand in the early part of the spring. In May and June the bands went to the Seneca Falls and Gorham Band Festivals to compete. In addition. Charles Lamberson and Ken Bell were nominated for the All-American Hall of Fame Award.” and Ron Kraus and Joe Campbell have been nominated to the McDonald’s All-American Band.” Ron was also selected to participate in the Harper College Festival Band. Along the vocal line, Mrs. Mollie Steele became the chorus director. She taught and directed the Varsity Singers, a very well-balanced group of fifteen voices. Seven out of ten of the Varsity Singers who auditioned for All-County were selected. In addition to the Varsity Singers, plans are being made to begin a recreational chorus in order to acquaint students with the program and to encourage them to enroll in the vocal groups next year.

Music “George Washington Slept Here” The curtain rose again in the GHS auditorium on November 17th and 18th when Geneva High students presented their second annual school play. The production was directed this year by Mrs. Kathleen Henderson of the English Department. This year’s hard-working cast and crew produced the comedy George Washington Slept Here.” This is the story of the Fuller family. Newton and Annabelle (Matt George and Kelly Coblio). their daughter Madge (Lori Greene). and the summer of their big move from the metropolis to a rundown Pennsylvania farmhouse where, according to rumor. George Washington spent a night during the Revolution. While the Fullers are in the process of moving, they have a visit from a show-biz couple played by Johanna Farrand and Ray Hibbard, a trouble-making niece (Heidi Krauss). and a rich uncle (Brad Fitch), who turns out to be a fraud. All of these visitors bring hilarious situations with them and provide the audience with some good laughs. Others in the cast included Greg Peck. Jim Broderick. Shelley Stowell. Alice Hall. Pam Gilbert. Bob Schiferle. Jon Balke. Tammy Hackler. Robin Blue, and Bob Beaudry. Working behind the scenes were Mrs. Nancy Russell as technical advisor. Ron Poole as technical director. Katie Linehan as student director, and Sarah Lahr, Terry Bagshaw. Bev Barnard. Pat Henderson. Alicia Thompson. Connie Smolinski. Jolee Rinick, Mr Mulvey. Lorraine Aten. Mary Driscoll, and Beth Witte.

The members of the French Club and Spanish Clubs under the guidance of Mrs. Baroody and Mrs. VanKeuren respectively, have participated in many activities. French Club, which meets monthly at different students’ homes, held their annual bake sale. Christmas and Mardi Gras parties, and a picnic at the end of the school year. A poster sale, a talk with an exchange student from Peru and an International Dinner at Christmas highlighted Spanish Club’s year. For the future, many more students are encouraged to take foreign languages. Not only will the student benefit from learning the language itself, but he will also experience many worthwhile activities with other students.

Student Council was off and running this year with a successful debut on Homecoming Weekend, which honored our Varsity Club advisors. Mrs. Whiting and Mr. Spader. The fall term also boasted a premier disco dance and a terrific intramural program which has grown increasingly popular, thanks to the rowdy Tampa Bay Buccaneers. ( The Bucs”) The council is indeed responsive to the needs of the people. It sold Panther ribbons and bumper stickers. It donated funds to school organizations, and to Bev Barnard, who is 26 Student Council attending the model U N. at the Hague. Also Kathy DeVito, the Student Representative to the Board of Education, keeps us posted on the monthly Board Meetings. Talent Night 79 was a great show, and the rest of the year promises to be just as exciting. A Gong Show is scheduled, and plans for a super Winter Weekend, which include the final home basketball game, a night of ice skating and a semi-formal dance, are well underway. ► The 1979 Talent Night was performed mainly by musicians, including vocalists, instrumentalists and song writers Other acts involved dancing and comedy routines Ray Hibbard performed as master of ceremonies.

Debbie Fischer. Tom Burrall. Robert Mallard Row 3 - Bill Bentley. Geneva High has two regularly published student literary efforts. The PANTHER’S PRIDE, the school paper, is written and published in journalism class, a half-year course taught by Mr. Fouracre. Editor-in-chief Joe Manning and his staff put out two issues a month, one brief extra and a longer edition. The Pride covers every thing from teacher interviews and school sports to matters of interest to the community. The other regular school publication is the SENECA SAGA, the school yearbook. During this fall the yearbook ran into several problems. The fall sale of the book was not as successful as in previous 28 Activities years, although the minimum number for printing. 500 copies, was reached. An early publisher’s deadline was not met because of problems with a large number of class pictures. This necessitated retakes which cost extra photography hours. Then there was a lack of financial support from two of the three classes. A number of staff members dropped out which put an extra strain on the others, who did a superb job of picking up the extra work along with their assigned duties. Because of these problems, a number of pages, including the index, were dropped from the book. Cuts, however did not affect this year’s supplement. YEARBOOK STAFF: Row 1 - Kate O'Connor. Sarah Lahr.

Activities 29 Groups show range o£ interest This year there was an effort to begin new organizations and clubs in Geneva High School. Early in the year students were chosen by their English teachers to serve on a Student Library Board (pictured on facing page). There are presently five students working on the committee along with Mrs. Briskey, the advisor. The members are responsible for selecting many of the new books in the library this year and also for the new posters decorating the library. They also set up a display for the curriculum fair. Another new club developed this year was the Euchre Club. The group meets every Tuesday after school with their advisor. Miss Oddi. The club originally had about sixteen members and they hope to increase the interest in playing Euchre in the future. The members of the club participate in tournaments among themselves.

Row 3: Jon Balke. Barth Bennett. Greg Bennett. Carole Hansen. Courtney Smith Probably the most prosperous and well-established organization in GHS is the School Store. By selling all kinds of school supplies and munchies, the store makes a profit which is used for other activities. For interest, the store sponsored the yearbook, it paid the postage on brochures sent out by the Business department, it helped students from the Government class pay their way to a model U N. in Washington. D C., and it sponsored the third annual senior breakfast. The six or seven students who work in the store are not only getting retail experience, they are helping to earn money for other school activities. SCHOOL STORE STAFF • Row 1: Ramona Constantine.

Kris Cocola During the year a club (pictured above) was formed to publish a literary magazine. Although it is a small group, they plan to collect written contributions from other students to add to the magazine. With the necessary student interest and a capable advisor. Mr. Young, the magazine has provided a chance for aspiring young writers to have their work published. One of the organizations continuing from previous years is the Junior Rotarians (pictured left). Each year sixteen to eighteen seniors are chosen to join Junior Rotarians. They attend two luncheons during the year and at these meetings they learn about the Rotary Club. As a result of this project, the Rotarians hope that when these young men graduate from school they will join the club. JUNIOR ROTARIANS: Kneeling - Dan Consolie. Standing • Mr Brosius. Tom Burrall.

For instance, the dance club which meets every Wednesday afternoon with their advisor. Mr Khoury. has a lot of student participation. The students are really interested in this new club and some students that aren’t all that aggressive are really stepping up and boogieing. Another club with active participation is the Rifle Club, advised by Mr. Brooks. Twice a week for two months, students qualify for NRA ratings of marksmanship on a fifty foot. .22 caliber range. Although this program with about 45 students requires utmost safety, it is properly guided by Mr Brooks. Seventy people braved ice. snow and freezing temperatures to make Ski Club one of GHS’s most popular activities The Club traveled to Bristol Mountain on six Wednesday nights and one Saturday. Along with the ski pass a skiing lesson is also offered. As any skier will tell you. there is a fantastic feeling to be gained from whooshing down the hill in tune with yourself, your skis and the hill. RIFLE CLUB: Row 1 • Kim Goldstone. Jim Schiferle.

While February may be the shortest month of the year, to most it feels like the longest. Because of the after Christmas let-down and the expectation of spring. February always seems to be a low point. As usual Geneva High’s Winter Weekend, February 16-19. was a big moral booster and gave February a good shot in the arm. This years festivities began Friday afternoon with a pep assembly honoring all winter athletic teams and was followed by a comical faculty versus student intramural basketball game. Friday night, though, was the real action when Geneva High played Waterloo in the last basketball game of the season. A fresh touch to this year’s winter weekend was the addition of Geneva High’s first annual semi-formal dance. The dance was held in the gym Saturday night from 8 to 12 with music provided by Holidaye. Sunday was a fun filled afternoon of tobagganing at the Seneca Lake Country Club. Monday finalized the activities with a combined senior class football team party at Mark Yannotti’s. but everyone agrees the weekend was made complete with an extra two day vacation celebrating Washington’s birthday. Winter Weekend 35 Earn awards in numerous areas Near the close of each school year awards are presented to those students who have excelled in some way throughout the year.

This year there were approximately eighty boys and forty-five girls in these organizations. They provided their services by cleaning up after football games. watching the doors and gates at basketball and lacrosse contests, and by serving as ushers at the opening of the new Geneva Recreational complex. Tentative plans include combining the two groups together to become one large service club. Varsity football tackles success The 1978 Geneva High Varsity Football team, under the guidance of Coach Canale, rolled up a 6-3 record for a banner season, their best since 1971. Under the leadership of Captains Mike Cooley. Ron Snyder and Mark Yannot-ti. the Panthers provided tough competition for their opposition. Outstanding individual performances were turned in by Tom Ward, sixty seven solo tackles; Yannotti, fifty-four tackles; Don Scalise. 665 yards rushing; Cooley, six TD’s; Mike Palmieri. league leader in TD passes and yards passing. Juniors Bernie Nelson. John Cosentino, and Steve Lathey all showed great ability and promise, good signs for the 79 season. Many post season awards were presented to Geneva players. Heading the list was Tom Ward, who at defensive tackle was chosen First Team All Greater Rochester. All Central New York, and Wayne Finger Lakes East. Cooley and Yannotti were both first team selections for the F FL East Team at receiver and linebacker, respectively. Palmieri was chosen first team quarterback in the TIMES UNION “Super 22”. The 78 Panthers were truly one of Geneva High’s best teams. Inspired by great team play along with stand-out individual performances, the Panthers leave behind a great winning reputation, one to be matched, hopefully in years to come.

As a team, the girls won eight and lost only three matches. Outstanding players were Allison Saglimbeni who played first singles and finished with an impressive 11-0 record. Mary Driscoll duplicated that record at third place singles. Both young women earned league honors. Another outstanding competitor was Miki Antinelli who finished with a 6-3 record at second singles. These same girls put on a good show for GHS in sectional play. Saglimbeni made it to the semi-finals before being defeated, while the tough team of Driscoll and Antinelli won their quarter and semi-finals before bowing. Coach Davids was very pleased with the results of this year’s league play, especially with the girls’ upset of Canandaigua.

The squads begin their practices about two months ahead of the game season and continue practicing each day for at least two hours until the season ends. All the girls must be willing to work together and help each other. Cheerleaders have to learn to respect each other in order to become an exceptional squad. The cheerleaders have to be very dedicated to their team. They have to stand behind the athletes whether or not they lose and support them through good and bad times. Generally, the cheerleaders’ job is to psyche the team up through pep rallies and the crowd through cheers. 6 Cheerleaders consider themselves part of the teams and hope to be as good as the athletes they cheer for — Number 1!

Instrumental in the win were the shooting and playmaking of James Thomas and John Quethera, respectively. Thomas, a smooth 6-3 senior center, and Quethera a bantamguard who transferred from DeSales in his last year, led the Panthers all season. Recruited by Syracuse University. Thomas beat out Newark’s John Miranda for the Finger Lakes League scoring title. Special thrills of the season came in the 49-47 triumph over Newark. Quethera scored the winning bucket, a flip shot, with two seconds left to break the Reds’ thirty-seven game winning streak. Unfortunately, the Panthers lost later in the season to the Reds. Another spine-tingling game was the contest with Whitman which Geneva took by two points in double overtime. The team was well-rounded this year. All the men. including the dedicated manager. Robert Mallard, contributed to the winning season. Larry Mallard's hustle and speed. Rufus Johnson’s aggressiveness under the boards all made for a great year. Added to those factors were the drive of Wilmer Alexander (the only sophomore on the varsity), Jamie Murphy’s spark-plugging the squad with his rebounds, the ballhandling of guards Brian Frank and Paul Stivers, and the devotion of Leonard Thomas and Mike Cooley.

Geneva’s JV wrestlers turned in a respectable 600 season in dual meets. On the mat. wrestler for wrestler, the junior grapplers won over two thirds of their bouts. Key words in describing their effort were improvement and aggressiveness. This team demonstrated these two qualities throughout the season. David Quartaro and Jeff Principio registered particularly fine seasons as did senior Fran Salone. For the future Dave George. T.J. Bentley, and John Miller will be wrestlers to watch. Next year with Jon Oyer. Matt George, and Chris Siclare off the injury list. GHS’s wrestling program will be considerably bolstered. On the courts, the 1978-79 edition of the GHS JV Basketball team finished with a 16-2 overall record and a 15-1 league standing. This outstanding league position gained the Panthers a share of the league championship with Newark. Highlighting the season were overtime wins at Newark and Canandaigua. The team was marked by outstanding offense and defense which allowed their opponents an average of only 45.7 points per game while GHS scored at a 61.6 average clip per contest. Overall the team had a Field Goal percentage of 43% and a Free Throw percentage of 53%. Marc VanArsdale had the most assists (101); Willie Lennon the most rebounds (153). In Free Throws and Field Goals. VanArsdale (53) and Lennon (102) again headed the stats. Tom McCants had the highest Field Goal percentage with 51%. and he shared the best Free Throw percentage (66%) with John DiDuro.

By the end of the season the team had improved and won its last two matches. They lost four matches by close scores, which meant that the forfeits hurt them. Their biggest loss due to injury was senior Tom Moracco. Tom had just won the Newark Tournament and suffered a hand injury the next day which kept him out the remainder of the season. Co-captains Rick VanDeMortel and Bill Bentley had outstanding seasons. Rick finished the season with a 21-4 record and Bill was undefeated in duals 14-0-1 and 20-4-1 over all. Rick also won both the Newark and Webster tournaments. Both boys are looking forward to the sectional tournament. Junior John Cosentino also had a fine dual meet record finishing 11-4 with 10 pins for the year. Along with Rick VanDeMortel and Bill Bentley, other seniors who contributed to the team were Tom Moracco. Steve DiFederico. Fran Salone, Phil Durso. and Harvey Palmer.

Joe Jacobs and Mike Moracco brought experience and a working knowledge of basic skills to an otherwise untried team. Early morning and Saturday practices helped the team to master the fundamentals of ball handling and team play. A more aggressive brand of volleyball including hard hit spikes, good serves and competent floor movement enabled this year’s team to remain in the top half of the league.

Girls Athletic teams are a source of pride for GHS fans. An excellent example is the Girls Varsity Volleyball squad, coached by Mr. (D.K.) Khoury. The hard work and dedication of the team paid off as they placed second in the league for the second year in a row. In the regular season, the girls won against Waterloo. Penn Yan. Midlakes. Seneca Falls, and Canandaigua. Victor and Newark handed them their only losses At the close of the season the team finished with an 11-5 league record and from there continued into sectional play. This year’s team was led by senior co-captains Teresa DiCampli. Ann Henry, and Tina Cemoni. Prospects for next year who will spike, volley, and carry the team include juniors Judy Bero. Miki Antinelli. and Donna Principio and sophomores Lynee VanAlstyne and Brenda Roelofs. The Varsity has participated in Section V play for the last three years, and that fact is a credit to the hard work and a JV building program under Mr. McDonald. This year the junior volley-ers had a 10-9 overall record and took a second place in the Finger Lakes JV tournament as they lost a close battle to Victor, which copped the championship.

This is one of the most significant things done for the people in this district for many years, and the School Board put a great deal of effort into the passage of this project. One group which helped with the passing of the building program was the Educational Advisory Committee. They have also provided an opportunity for people from the community to give input to the board. In addition, the committee investigates topics such as hazing, reports to the board and then makes recommendations. Along the line of improving curriculum, several half-days were used as conference days. The goal set was to work out the program so that the curriculum progresses smoothly and cohesively from kindergarten through twelfth grade. There were also discussion and workshops to help teachers deal with the new schools and age groupings. Elizabeth Heaton Richard Pedersen Richard Sommers Raymond Gage Shirley Brind John D’Amicoo 64 Board of Education New projects develop Along with the usual happenings around the school this year, were two important projects which resulted in an increase in school and community involvement. The Middle States Evaluation culminated a full year of self-evaluation by the GHS staff which was followed up by a visiting evaluating team on October 25, 26. and 27th. This evaluation gave the administration and the students a chance to examine all aspects of the high school including curriculum, extra-curricular activities. facilities, and the credentials of the staff. A report will be submitted by the visiting team, and it is anticipated that the findings of the committee will be most favorable. Planning for the new high school has also been keeping everyone busy this year. After the voters approved the plan, the staff and Board of Education began to work closely with the architects in the design of the building. The organization and design of the curriculum is also already being worked on. It is hoped that the design of the building and the curriculum can be correlated in the new high school. The requirements for graduation are being changed, and the incoming sophomores will need four years of history to graduate. Tentative plans are being made to further develop the history, computer math. Advanced Placement English and various art courses. Mr Scalise and Mr Maher, along with the staff, students, and community have been striving for improvement throughout the 1978-1979 school year. Mr. Scalise believes that the students are much better off now than they were several years ago. Although the staff would like to place more emphasis on student activities, it appears that Geneva High school students today are getting involved, making better use of their time, and doing more than in the past.

Once again this past December, Geneva High School recognized members of the Class of 1979 by induction into the National Honor Society. During the academic year, three inductions are held: in the spring of the junior year, in the following fall, and in the spring of the senior year. Students are nominated for this prestigious honor by a faculty committee whose basis for selection lies in the areas of scholarship, leadership, citizenship and service. Geneva High seniors also received twenty-three NYS Regents Scholarships and one Regents Nursing Scholarship along with eight alternates and one nursing alternate named. In addition, seniors Chris Crenner and Faith Witte represent the Class of ’79 as finalists for the PSAT National Merit Scholarship. Also receiving National Merit Letters of Commendation were Arthur Pena and Charles Lamberson. Seniors 103 i BOCES Each year guidance counselors visit tenth grade English classes to talk to students about a program which GHS participates in. BOCES. This program is geared toward the students’ finding a job in their field of study after high school, although some do attend college for further study. If a student elects this line of study, he or she chooses a specific area from the twenty-six offered at BOCES. The most popular and therefore the hardest to get into are automotive, cosmetology, nursing, and carpentry courses. When a student is accepted, he begins attending classes for a half day at BOCES in his junior year. Busing the students to Flint is the program’s biggest problem. A student who satisfactorily completes the two year program receives, in addition to a high school diploma, a Finger Lakes Occupational Certificate, a piece of paper which is a big help in obtaining a job. BOCES also provides a job placement service for its student body. They hope to place forty per cent of the graduates in their immediate area of study and another fifteen percent in work related to their courses. This year eighty-seven GHS students, including thirty-eight seniors, attend BOCES. 104 Seniors PAGE 104. TOP. Left to Right: Doug Besley in Welding class; Food Service appeals to Leon Casselman.

Seniors 105 STAP provides experience For some seniors the school day is not spent entirely at Geneva High. A handful of seniors participate in a Student Teaching Assistant Program (STAP). Students interested in working with children set up their schedule with the aid of the counselors to provide free periods in which they travel to other schools in the district to gain a taste of teaching Three other seniors gain work experience in local businesses. The seniors in STAP are transported by bus to their assignments. Seniors feel that this experience will help them make decisions concerning their future careers.

The Bucs team included, seniors, Guy Van Arsdale. Mike Marino. Jim Mulvey. Buzz Lamb. Jim Broderick. Mike Mastrogiovanni. and Neal Sherman. The teams spirit started early in the season when members of the team were seen around school wearing “Buc hats. The feeling was. that you’re only in high school once so make the best of it. So. one Friday in November was designated Bucs Homecoming. There was a wild parade around the (larking lot with royalty honors going to Mrs. Braun and Mr. Mahr. In Bucs fashion they defeated Ninestine's Elephants (seven girls and Mr. Ninestine!) 19-0. The team held an undefeated record and for their last big high school game they challenged archrivals DeSales. The team started the day of the game with breakfast at McDonalds. The after school game held at Bucs Stadium was won by the Bucs 18-6. Seniors 135 Wild C Crazy Guys Foxy American Cbicks Seniors 136 Top row. left to right: Pat Arthur.

In February, six of our GHS students had the opportunity to fly to Washington. D C. to participate in a Model U.N. being held there. They were among 1750 other students representing 140 high schools from 26 states and territories. Those attending the conference were Joe Campbell. Lisa Currie. Bill Hayes, Sarah Lahr. Jim Mulvey, and Guy VanArsdale. These students were chosen to represent the country New Zealand and spent about two months preparing for the Model U.N. under the direction of Mrs. Karol, who also accompanied them on the trip. The Model U.N. they attended is the largest in the nation. During the meetings, which ran from 9:30 a.m. until 12:15 p.m.. the students acted as ambassadors and tried to persuade students representing other countries to their national viewpoint. The students spent an additional day in Washington, after their four days at the Model U.N. was over, in order to spend some time touring the city. They went to the live musical “Beatlemania”, visited the New Zealand embassy, the White House, the Supreme Court, the Senate, the House of Representatives, the National Art Gallery and the Air Space Museum. They also met with Congressman Gary Lee in his office before they left for home. As a result of this experience, these students gained much knowledge about the real United Nations and how it works, along with gaining experience in speaking, and meeting many, many students from all over the United States and other countries.

Mrs. Sullivan and Mrs. Johnson plan several visits each year to area exhibits. One such trip is the annual trek to the Scholastic Art Exhibit at Sibley’s. GHS exhibitors this year included Jamie Burt, Tony Contreras. Teresa Di Campli. David O’Malley. Arthur Pena. Jolee Rinick, Faith Witte. Laura Berkowitz. Lieanne Smith. Lorraine Aten. Lauren Mas-trogiovanni. and Cathy Powers. David. Jolee, and Lauren won honorable mentions while Jamie took home a gold key award. Also included in this trip was a stop at the Rochester Memorial Art Gallery where students were given an opportunity to view paintings and sculptures by the old masters and comtemporary artists alike. Another activity in which GHS art students participate is the yearly exhibit at the Prouty Chew Museum. Every March students take over the Red Room and fill it with samples of their art work. A reception is held to give the community a chance to view the show and to talk with the students and teachers. Top left - Sophomore power as shown by Monica Mandy. Johnna Perry. Barb Walczak.

This year’s musical THE PAJAMA GAME opened on Broadway twenty-five years ago and was presented in Rice Auditorium on March 23, 24. 1979. Mrs. Steele led the vocal aspects, stage direction, and choreography. while Mr. Fabrizio helped with choeography and conducted the orchestra. Starring were the following: Johanna Farrand ..... Babe Williams Ray Hibbard .......... Sid Sorokin Kelly Coblio ............... Gladys Brad Fitch ............... Hineszie Jim Broderick ........ Mr. Hasler Joanne Moose .............. Poopsie Janet Welch ................... Mae Robin Blue ................. Brenda Matt George .................. Prez Lisa Balistreri ............. Mabel Jon DiDuro ............... Salesman plus a supporting cast of singers and dancers numbering seventy. Main scenes were: the Sleeptite pajama factory, the company picnic and the famous Hernandos Hideaway . Outstanding performances were turned out by all the principals. However the comic couple of Gladys and Hines will be long remembered. Jealous Hines, was romantically inclined toward Gladys, Mr. Hasler's secretary. The Sleeptite salesman requests Hines to model a new line of pajamas. During the scene Gladys enters to find Hineszie in his undershorts. Much of the most important preparations and action took place behind the scenes. The backstage crew, backed by Ron Poole was constantly busy. They weren’t without problems however. Two days before the opening night the office and living room set which was being flown above the stage came crashing to the floor. PROBLEMS - HEADACHES - DISASTER? No. with Ron Pool. Mrs. Sullivan, and Mr. Chapman and lots of cooperation, two great performances went on as scheduled to delight two full houses.

The idea for Opening Nights”, which was a Broadway musical review, was born in the spring of 1978. In August of that year, Johanna consulted Mrs. Russell about her idea. and. receiving the go-ahead, she then drew set designs, planned the costumes, and generally mapped out the idea. Although many changes occurred in the script, cast, and orchestra before “Opening Nights hit the boards, by September of 1978 Johanna had a working script ready. The fall and winter months found her involved in other projects, but Johanna made time to complete the set design and to work on lighting. Rehearsals began immediately after “The Pajama Game” closed in late March of 1979. Johanna did the choreography for the major numbers at that time, and then concentrated on producing the solos and duets. On May 17. 1979. Johanna’s ideas became reality as Opening Nights came alive for two performances: an evening show for the general public and a matinee for grades 4.5. and 6 from Geneva schools. Johanna’s cast, in addition to herself, included Robin Blue. Pam Gilbert. Tyrone Henderson. Ray Hibbard. Joanne Moose, and Beth Wood. Kathy DeVito and Heidi Krauss provided the music. Ron Poole. Gretchen Ahrnsbrak. Connie Smolins-ki. and Pete Ciaangalini were the stage crew. Neal Sherman and Gregory Peck publicized the production while Pam King and Faith Witte helped Johanna with costuming and choreography, respectively. “Opening Nights” CLOCK WISE FROM TOP RIGHT The curiam call, full of excitement and anticipation of the next performance: Tyrone Henderson performs as a juvenile delinquent in Gee.

The kickline from 'One . the finale Language Activities Geneva High’s language classes are active both inside and outside the classroom. This year students again traveled to Oswego State University to participate in an all-day Language Fair sponsored by that college. There were competitions, workshops, and dramatic presentations to occupy the students and to expose them to a little of the background and culture of the languages they have studied. Several Geneva High students participate in the competitions and came home winners: Latin I - Brenda Roelofs, 1st place; Erich Steadman. 3rd place; French III - Tom Baroody, 2nd place; Spanish IV - Kris Cocola. 2nd place: Spanish V (native speakers) - Dora Araya, 1st place; Diana Ortiz. 2nd place. In April, while most of Geneva High enjoyed a spring recess, eleven students (pictured below) and Mrs. VanKeuren flew to Mexico City for a four-day learning vacation. While in this city, the travelers visited the Aztec pyramids, the National Palace, the floating gardens, an archeological museum, the national cathedral. They even saw a bull fight! After the stay in Mexico City, the group continued through Taxco and then on to Acapulco, where they saw the famous cliff divers and sampled the night life of that resort. The “language year culminated with an International Dinner, held in the school cafeteria. CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT Group shot of Mexico travelers • seated: Debbie Payne. Mrs. VanKeuren.

Members spent some time learning the skills of fly fishing and took trips to Lake Ontario and several area streams. Next year the group plans more events with movies, projects, and guest speakers. An overnight trip to go salmon fishing is also a possibility. Members, pictured left to right: Mr. Knisely. Steve Benkovich. Greg Bennett. Jim Bailey, and Greg Rinick.

Undefeated in the Finger Lakes. 8-0. the men enjoyed a 14-4 overall season highlighted by wins over Rush Henrietta and Corning East. Losses to a strong Webster Thomas by two goals and to Section IV champions Vestal by one goal still showed Geneva’s strength. One overtime goal by Corning East (the ultimate champ) in the semi-finals eliminated Geneva from the sectionals. That game also re-emphasized Geneva’s strength in upstate New York lacrosse. The team was led by Guy VanArsdale in “goal”. One of the best goalies ever to play in the Finger Lakes, Guy was selected High School All American for the second year in a row. This year’s attack also featured a VanArsdale. sophomore Marc, who broke Geneva’s assist record with 47. Also leading the team were John Fabrizio with 41 goals and Tom Ward with 54 total points. Overall, the attack combination had opponents wondering who would score next. Defense was excellent. Four of Geneva’s opponents were able to score only one goal against the likes of Brian Lahr. Bill Passalacqua. Mike Marino, and Joe DiDuro — all of whom provided many attackmen with TOM WARD. 30. shoots at the goal (upper right) Above, left to right: John Fab scoops up the ground ball.

Michelle DeMatties broke a school record in the high jump with her mark of 5'2 during league competition. Contributing seniors were Pam O'Neill and Alicia Thompson. On the baseball diamond, however, the Varsity Softball Team batted in another spectacular season In the league the team was 6 and 2; overall they were 10 and 3 with their third loss coming during sectional play. Leading the team from the mound was senior captain Lynn Luzzi. who was assisted by junior Mary Murphy All in all this year's success was a real team effort sparked by Lynn and Tammy Luzzi. Ellie Hall, and Ann Henry. Terry Bagshaw. Tracy Smith, and Lynn Anania provided the necessary leadership and supervision. One highlight of the season was Ellie Hall’s fatal slide into first which put her into the hospital, marring an otherwise great season.

Geneva High’s J.V. squads in lacrosse and baseball are doing that to perfection. For the second year in a row, the J.V. Lacrosse Team, pictured on the facing page, went undefeated. The 1979 squad compiled a record of 8-0 in league play and were 14-2 overall. Highlights of the season were shutouts against Canandigua and Waterloo. both arch-rivals and strong teams. With Ed Povero and Dominic DeFran-cesco leading the defense; David Ahrnsbrak on attack; and Louie Hall. John Snyder and Matt Rogers at midfield, next year’s varsity team should be successful. Many close games and one run losses characterized this year’s J.V. Baseball Team record. Though it would have been easy for a team to lose its spirit and to give up. this squad met each new game with determination and true sportsmanlike spirit. Sophomores Ron Laurenza and Frank Dinan helped to supply fielding stability, while Todd Fitzgerald and Willie Rivera added pitching strength. John Fitzsimmons. Tony Greco, and Mike Parker added hitting and experience to the team. 169 Heavenly is the word that comes to mind when ever anyone reminisces about this year’s junior-senior prom. The prom, a major event in one’s high school years, has students volunteering their time for any job that needs to be done, whether it be painting fences or hanging star garlands, so that this is the best prom yet. The magic of that summery May 12th came after weeks of planning and hard work by many students. The theme this year was “Too Much Heaven’’, and by Saturday night the school gym had been transformed into a heaven with shades of blue and wispy clouds. An added sentiment to this year’s decorations was a poem done by the junior class dedicating this prom to the departing seniors. The band Whirlwind provided the right touch so that even teachers were grooving to the beat throughout the evening. As the clock moved toward midnight the roles for the 1979 court were tabulated. Junior attendants were Carol Hennessey and Dan Hickey. Amy Luzzi and Matt Shamy, Ann Shields and Jim Carroll. Senior attendants chosen were Ellie Hall and Jeff Johnson. Tracy Smith and Jamie Murphy. Sharon Poole and Mike Cooley. Prince and princess were juniors Bill Passalcqua and Judy Bero. The reigning king and queen were John Quethera and Lou Ann Rasmussen. ii %oo Jfffuch 'Jx-eaxen 9 9 TOP LEFT ■ LOU ANN RASMUSSEN receive her bouquet as Prom Queen; top right • Jill Sullivan and friend share a good joke; center left - Anthony Collier and Sheila Bynum are captured by the camera; center • Gary Land sc hoot and Lorraine Aten have stars in their eyes; above • An excited crowd awaits the announcement of the court. — 170 For most prom couples the evening didn’t end when the clock struck twelve.
