Anyone who walked into GHS during homecoming weekend, may have thought they were in the wrong place. The walls were decorated with animals and such to go along with the 1981 theme IT’S CIRCUS TIME IN PANTHER COUNTRY. Besides the hall decoration, which was won by the sophomores there were various other class competitions. Among these were hat day, tie day, and red and black day. The homecoming game festivities kicked off with the annual homecoming parade through downtown. Geneva had no problem getting ahead of Waterloo in the first half. Half time activities were the highlight. After the co-captains of the 1964 football team, Fred Heath, Pat Luzzi, David VanGorden, Frank Woznick, Ed Leo, and Bill Trickier were introduced, Liz Payne, attended by Jim Natelli, was chosen 1981 homecoming queen. Other queen nominees and their escorts were Claire Johnston and Joe Augustine, Jackie Santiago, and Craig Salone, and Anita DiPaula and Steve Fospero. Among other halftime festivities, the Varsity Singers and the GHS marching band per- (continued below I A jubilant Liz Payne crowned homecoming queen by 1980 queen Diane Rivera. formed. The most exciting part of the whole occasion was the parade of the floats and the announcement of the winner, who, by the way, was the Class of 1982. The Geneva Panthers wound up the game, beating Waterloo by a score of 27 to 7. The weekend was made complete with the homecoming dance. Two bands, 151 and Slayer, played. The dance was a real success. Student Council president Liz Payne summed up the weekend by saying, “I felt the entire homecoming weekend was a big success, especially the dance.” Bonnie Brown, Gwen Gigilotti, and Tracy Brown, (top) were the vanguard for the Senior float. Weeks of hard work on the Senior entry (above) paid off as the Class of '82 took first in the competition. Homecoming 13

Homecoming 1981 The Freshmen (right) seemed to have the right idea as to what would happen to Waterloo. A pep rally can really get a person’s spirits up, as Hank Pearson (below) clearly shows. During the parade the Juniors (bottom) tried to radiate their spirit to the crowds lining Geneva’s Castle Street.

Marching Band Once again the Geneva High School Marching Band was on the move in what senior member Barb Mattick thought was the best of “four years of fun.” Once school has been in session for a few weeks, the band must be ready to perform during halftime at football games. This, however, is not their only job. Aside from the appearing in four home football games, the band performed six times with the firemen in summer parades, marched in the Halloween parade, and participated in the firemen’s inspection.
