For a school of its size, Geneva High has one of the most varied curriculums. 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.

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.
