The advisor, Mrs. Loveland, was granted the privilege of forming a class, Copy and Design, specifically for the purpose of producing the annual yearbook. The Copy and Design class had quite a bit of outside help from seniors, juniors, and one or two sophomores. They helped with the copy for the book and also as photographers. Although the total was down $400 over 1980 contributions, many of the local businesses were generous in sponsoring ads, which appear in the last pages of the yearbook. These ads help to finance the printing and costs. Student Council, as well as all four classes, supported the yearbook as they contributed to help aid the staff with their expenses which will top $8,000. While these sources are important, there are other means of raising funds. Students themselves help with the outlay. For two weeks in the fall, the yearbook is offered at a pre-sale price. Signs and posters are scattered throughout the school building to promote sales, while members of the staff visit English rooms of underclassmen to boost the demand by displaying the benefits of a high school yearbook. Last year's annual yearbook won a first place rating from the American Scholastic Press Association. This year’s staff hopes to do just as well, possibly better, and, with the way things have shaped up, Seneca Saga has succeeded.

Panther’s Pride Panther's Pride: Left to right — Kellie Stenzel, Andy Vogt, Danielle Granger, Mark Gage — (Editor), Brad Roach, Bill Pine, Lori Rogers, Bonnie Brown, Liesl Zappler. Running the phototype setter is an everday chore for Scott Coblio. The school newspaper, Panther’s Pride, is the product of Mr. Fouracre’s Journalism class. The papers are sold in the school bookstore at 10c per copy. Sales of the paper range from 150 to 175 copies per month. Funds for the production are gotten from the sales of Army and Marine ads that appear often in full and half page sixes. Halftones of the pictures are freely provided by the Finger Lake Times. The papers are published courtesy of Mr. Mulvey’s Graphic Art Class. The aims of Panther’s Pride are to provide students, faculty, and administration with factual information; to give the opportunity for individual expression: to broaden the range of thought of its readers; and to be an effective means of student communication. The class has taken trips to the Finger Lakes Times and to the New York Times. Mr. Fouracre has even said that, “It’s the best Journalism class I’ve had in all the years I’ve taught!” John Onorato (left) demonstrates how easy running the press is.

Student Council In the words of Student Council president Liz Payne, “Geneva High had a good year filled with many activities and new ideas.” The council encouraged the student body as a whole to participate in a variety of activities, and for the most part succeeded in their efforts. The highlight of the council’s year was the annual Homecoming which took place this year on October 16. The Geneva Panthers took on the Waterloo Indians, winning the game 27 to 7. The council members also sponsored a contest for the Homecoming theme. Jeff Rinick won two tickets to the game and dance with his entry: It’s circus time in Panther Country. The members of the publicity committee, Beth Tepper, Patty Maney, and Berta Arms, successfully arranged all of the homecoming activities including the dance. The two bands, Tempest and 151, drew many people to the dance, and made a profit of $100. The Student Council managed to incorporate many activities into the school day throughout the year. Several of which were hat day, won by Chris Constable, Daphne John, and Sharon Conklin, tie day, won by Anne Constable, red and black day which was won by the seniors, and on Halloween a costume contest which was won by among other people, Leslie Cohen, Jesse Rivera, and Shellie Meaker. Not only did the council support school related activities, but also community ones such as: a blood drive, a Salvation Army canned food drive, a contribution of $300 to the yearbook, and $250 to Port voto, the GHS foster child in Indonesia Finally on Christmas the student counci sponsored an Elf Day on which severs willing students such as Karel Schroeder, Katie McGowan, Johi Onorato, Mike Hiker, Bill Kerr, Lit Payne, and Chris Siclare dressed a elves, passed out candy, and performed play for the children at the elemental; school. Two mid-winter activities were the car nation sale, which made a profit of $145 and the class volleyball competitior which like the whole school year came ol a success. In Liz’s words, “We had a lot c participation throughout the sohot year.” 20 Student Council
