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. ►

Publications record school’s events PANTHER’S PRIDE STAFF: Seated - Don Bidwell Row 1 • Mary Beth Benkovich. Lisa Currie. Joe Manning. Mr Fouracre Row 2 • Erin Bowers. 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.
