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.

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.
