Sharia Pitifer. and Jessie Bennett, drama has been an important part of their lives as students t I Cheerleaders put hours of work into their practices in order to learn their routine Senior Jill Urbano was a vital part of the sports scene during her years in high school For the underclassmen, the junior year is probably the most important time in high school. Although there is a lot of academic pressure, juniors such as Mark Cowles. Bill Palmer, and Court Taylor still manage to enjoy themselves Contents 3 Prf-i C OO0$' tn ' 88) I take the world to be but as a stage, wrote de Salluste. In many ways, Geneva High can be considered a stage also, with each person having his or her own time in the spotlight. Academically and through participation in various clubs, sports, and other forms of student life, students at Geneva High School find ways to express themselves and to show their true colors. Chris Spear Just like Felix Torres and Jerry Rolon everyone has his time center stage Sharia Pitifer (right) played Rizzo in the musical Grease: senior Debbie Herring, the school representative to GEAC (above) and sophomore Gretchen Shultz swam on the Varsity Swim team: and Jennifer Perry (far right) helped out decorating the freshman hall for Homecoming 4 Opening It was the seniors’ moment to shine all year Mike O'Malley. DeWayne Hurdle. Beth Plano, and Karen Moose enjoyed one of those moments during physics lab Opening 5 Many of the courses offered at GHS are taken by students in every grade Therefore seniors such as Jackie Taras (lower right) and freshmen like Laura D'Agostino share a common keyboarding course. 6 Opening In The Merchant of Venice, Shakespeare wrote I hold the world but as the world ... a stage where every man must play a part . . Students at Geneva High can play a variety of roles both in and outside the walls of GHS. Through community involvement as well as participation in organizations such as Student Council and council-sponsored activities, people can get involved in what's going on and find their places in the spotlight. Chris Spear Students take time out from the daily routine in a variety of ways Going to school-sponsored dances such as the one attended by seniors Paul Bleakley and Karen McGuigan (top) and underclassmen John Robbins. Jeff Wnght and Scott Shendan (left), watching a basketball game (far left) or just studying in the library are all ways to relax during the busy school year Opening 7 Under the direction of... Four years in high school can he a constant struggle, but eventually each class ends its term at GHS. Under the direction of the administration and staff, who implement state and local guidelines, they have gotten a sense of direction from the many educational opportunities available at Geneva High. A student's day can consist of six long hours of hitting the books. Some may recall the long days and nights of pulling their hair out trying to figure out a math problem, or of struggling to find that one line to start an English composition. Others may remember working on that one project in woodworking they thought they would never finish; then, when it was over and done, feeling the satisfaction of a job well-done. Some students sign up for Child Development so they can experience what parenting is all about and so in later years when they become parents, they will know the basics and be wiser parents. In sophomore year, the tenth graders who feel that trade school or the job world is the answer for them after they have graduated find out about what courses are offered at BOCES in Flint. Then, as junior and seniors, they can pursue the trade that most interests them and be ready for at least an entry-level job once they have received their GHS diplomas. Whatever goals in life they may have, all the students at GHS have something in common — all being able to have a good chance, under the direction of the staff, to see what way they should go after graduation.

Projects — a requirement with work and fun Projects, which are often a course requirement, are a lot of work, but they also can be a lot of fun. For instance, at the Language Fair their junior year, the Mount Olympus Gang — better known as Arden Acquilano, Kris Elliott, Beth Plano, and Karen McGuigan — won first place in a skit competition with a rap about mythology. To create the prize-winning project for Latin III, they combined knowledge with a beat. As McGuigan recalled, “It was definitely a different but original skit. Hollywood here we come! Many projects are done within the class. In Bookkeeping-Accounting I, students work on an independent study called Quadrasonics. The class opens a set of books, handles all transactions for a merchandising business, writes all the checks, balances a checkbook, and prepares an income statement and a balance sheet. Instructor Dick Loveland audits their work 16 times during the project. Any errors, he explained, “must be found and corrected by the student-bookkeeper. Because students work at their own pace within a certain time frame, Tara Dean commented, For four weeks I was almost an independent person!” Health classes also assign projects. These are fairly open, leaving much room for creativity. Student efforts range from detailed drawings of the heart to lengthy reports. In addition to being enrolled in Bookkeeping Accounting, senior business maior Lori Wiggins played dual roles in Fame. Other projects, however, have strict standards. Freshmen in Ed Scharrer's Regents classes were required to do a Shakespeare project. The requirements included a title page, one or more pages for each topic, and a bibliography. Mr. Scharrer reported that there were around 20 A's on the research. All in all, most students enjoy doing their projects as they are a creative and fun approach to learning.

Staff 11 The other side of the desk For many students at Geneva High, a regular school day means staying around school and going from one class to another. Others, like the seniors in the Student Teacher Assistant Program (STAP) spend part of their day outside of school. STAP is a great deal of work and fun. What makes this program so different from the regular one? Carmen Bello, who plans on being an elementary school teacher, states that, in addition to being fun. “You have to put a lot of time and effort into it. Senior Diana Colby worked at West Street under the guidance of Mrs. Weaver. Diana works on a one-to-one basis to give extra help to her children. To help improve their auditory memory, she played “sound games” with each of the ten. When enrolled in STAP, a student works closely with an experienced, certified teacher. Mrs. Lynch at North Street helped Julie Arthur. As Arthur put it, “It's a good experience working with an excellent teacher. Working with younger students can be a great deal of fun, especially at certain times of the year. Julie Constable worked with Mrs. John at North Street School for Grades 1 and 2. “I loved working with the kids. she said, “especially during the holidays. Julie also said that there is a great deal of enthusiasm toward school projects and fund-raisers. Her class did quite well selling soap for their project. Generally, the seniors in STAP hope to instill a good attitude toward school in the children. Peter Cole In STAP. seniors interested in teaching get some pre-college experience Two of them.

Are you aware that many teachers have pets other than the human kind that always sit in the front row and always receive straight A s? Miss Robbins' pets Cat. Jiggs. and Penny are well-known to Latin students, while those who take Sequential Math are familiar with Wes Kubacki's dog Bear. Years ago Miss Robbins was given a dog by Mary Lou Strawway. The English teacher had found the mutt in her yard. Miss Robbins fed him and put him on a leash outside her home. The next morning there was a leash but no dog. She thought she had seen the last of him until Miss Strawway arrived, carrying the dog in her arms. Miss Robbins named the dog Jiggs Goodpuppy Mahoney after the comic strip Jiggs and Maggie. The cat she acquired at a barbecue. The cat wandered over to her, and Jiggs wasn’t smart enough to bark at it and scare it away. It followed Miss Robbins and Jiggs home and scratched on the windows of the house until it was let in. Miss Robbins named the cat, Cat. It has been a part of her menagerie ever since. In one house Miss Robbins rented, there were bats in the attic. Cat loved chasing and catching them. One time Jiggs chased Cat while Cat was in hot pursuit of a bat through the whole house. Miss Robbins was not pleased. Bear, Mr. Kubacki's dog, often runs with him at the beach. They are also a familiar sight at GHS football games. According to Mr. Kubacki, Bear can often understand the simple math functions that elude students. An intelligent dog, Bear can also answer simple questions. Mr. Kubacki offered as proof Bear's answer to the question “What's up? Bear never fails to reply Roof!” One time, Mr Kubacki says that Bear was sitting in his car and the car began rolling down the street. Passersby were startled because Bear appeared to be at the wheel. It’s no doubt that the four-pawed furry pets can be just as interesting as the two-legged ones in the front row of GHS teachers' classrooms! Leah Abraham Mr. Kubacki's dog Bear proved to be a good student one day when he followed the math teacher to school and sat in on his classes 14 Staff Mary Thorneley — Learning Disabilities Gary Townsend — Cleaner Linda Turri — Biology.

Robert Campbell, and Robert Doty are required to take Earth Science if they wish to obtain a Regents diploma Chemistry involves the structure and reactions of matter. Both the Regents and non-Regents levels are taught by Jim Yahmte (above) Physics, which develops concepts about matter and energy, is an elective Regents course Seniors Mike O'Malley. Matt Howard. David Gage, and DeWayne Hurdle aH chose the course as a senior elective. 16 Math-Science MAKING the GRADE The math and science departments have undergone some subtle and some not so subtle changes in curriculum. Gone are the days of algebra, geometry, and trig. In their places and introducing a new concept in logic are three sequential math courses. These courses are offered on both the Regents and non-Regents levels. Other courses designed to help students fulfill their requirements for graduation are General Math and Individualized Math. In order to graduate, students must pass two units of science. Non-Regents students may choose General Science. Earth-Space Study, biological and chemistry science while Regents students can earn a sequence by enrolling in Earth Science, biology, and chemistry. Students must schedule two periods for biology lab and one for the other laboratory courses. AP Biology and physics are available in the senior year. In physics class I learned a lot of things that I have always wondered about. Math is the subject which makes future possibilities become reality. — Karen Moose — Scon Erwin Math-Science 17 Part of the Singles Cooking course was preparing a Thanksgiving dinner Soph Lemar Blue got to carve the turkey BOCES Seniors: Front — Tonya Chilson.

Technology courses offered at GHS concentrate on the practical skills used in industry and at home. Technology Education includes the Home Economics Department which offers a broad range of courses. There are three possible sequences in Home Ec which include such electives as Child and Human Development. Advanced and Gourmet Cooking, and Textile and Design. The other part of Tech Ed offers Wood or Metal Production. Transportation, and Energy Systems as a few of its electives. All are divided into systems and foundation levels. Also available is Journalism, which receives no sequence credit but is the basis for the printing of the Panther's Pride To complete a sequence, a student must take Introduction to Occupations, two courses from each level, and one elective course. — Dan Long I take Singles Cooking to be better prepared for college when I need to start taking care of myself. ” — Mike Mirras Tech Ed 19 In her sophomore year. Lon Fumey elected Keyboarding She had to team to keep her eyes on the book instead of on the keys, a point all typing teachers emphasize For students like Rick Harrold (above) who elect Accounting, time must be spent memorizing and applying various principles. Athletes Jeff Trickier and Darrell Daniels (nght) were able to compare notes on some Business Communications assignments. 20 Business Keyboarding will definitely help Melissa Justmo (right) as she planned to go into the secretarial field During her senior year she had an after-school secretarial job with a lawyer GETTING - BUSINESS Enrolling in business courses at GHS is a way to explore the field and to get ready for further education or a career. In courses such as keyboarding and Intro to Computers, students are taught the basic skills of typing and computer operations. Shorthand and Bookkeeping and Accounting are other skills courses offered in business. Applied Math and the Regents course Business Math cover problems faced by every individual such as banking, finance, and personal money management. Other electives include Business Management and Business Law Three units are needed for a sequence in Business. There are sequences in Book-keeping Accounting, Data Processing, clerical and secretarial skills. An exploratory sequence is also offered with samples from all business courses taught by the department. I've taken every business course except shorthand! I'm going to a two-year college for accounting and then on to Alfred University. Eventually I hope to get a CPA. — Tara Dean Business classes give me an idea of what I will need to know in college as well as in the real world. — Jeff Ferreri Business 21 Interested in African art, senior Kim Walters plans on pursuing an art major in college.

Those interested in vocal music can enroll in Varsity Singers and receive a weekly lesson in voice during a study hall. periods of art and music history parallel each other so closely. The arts and culture reflect the lives of the people of each period. The style of each is uniquely its own. We reach back in time and touch the lives of human beings as we study their art and music. — Nancy Johnson Musan 23 GHS proudly presents Sports action at GHS was intense this year as the school proudly presented teams in six fall, six winter, and six spring sports. After several drier years, the Boys Varsity Volleyball team took the crown as league champions with an overall record of 14-4. Rob Stenzel made the all-Section V squad and was also a top scorer for the Boys Varsity Basketball team. In the football arena, Sam Wilson and Ed Collins made the FL East all-stars. Defensively, Collins, a 6'3 junior, was an interior lineman. Wilson at 5'10 and 150 pounds, led the Varsity both offensively and defensively. Frank Turturro made second team offense as an end. Upperclassmen weren’t the only ones with all-star honors. Sophomore Dan Pontes made 1st team all-stars for the Boys Varsity Soccer team. Pontes also played JV Basketball. The Basketball Cheerleaders had a good year, winning or placing in various competitions. Both the Varsity and JV’s brought home 1st place trophies in the Gates-Chili competition. Athletes at GHS have always been motivated to do their best as the school proudly presents its athletes in the area's sports contests.

Stenzel also led the team through the season with an average of 9 kills per game. Scoring the most service points was Jim Cecere while Paul Miller had the most blocks in one game. Four other seniors — Mike Mirras, Mark Rager, Jody Martin, and Chris Elder — all helped in winning the league crown. With five juniors returning next fall, coach Terry Muffley feels the team should be competitive. Arden Acquilano The Boys' Varsity Volleyball team, was led by the play of Rob Stenzel, who had sixteen spikes and six blocks against Spencerport.

In football, the junior Panthers continued winning tradition by compiling a five and three record. Offensive talent was evident in the stats. Sophomore Tony Cunningham led the pack with 12TD's, including six against Victor where the JV’s scored 48 points. Also scoring were Ronnie Jo Parker. Eric Robinson, Robert Johnson. Brian Prater, and Bill Kerr. Quarterbacks James Truley's and Doug VanBuren's passing was responsible for many of the scores. On defense, Jeff Braun Aaron Mantegna, and Billy Turturro had interceptions while Robert Spearman. Bill and Rich Kerr all had For the 1986 season freshman Bnan Prater scored two touchdowns, both coming on runs ot over 20 yards. sacks. Spearman and Bill Kerr had 9 tackles in single games. The JV Girls Soccer team ended their season with a record identical to that of the Varsity. Coach Cindy Avery commented. There was a lot of dedication, talent, and many games were lost by a narrow margain.” The JV's were led by sophomores Natalie Riv-kin and Missy DePew with eight and three goals respectively. Even though the Boys JV Soccer team went winless, Coach Jack McDonald said, They showed tremendous improvement and hustle every game.” Leading the team was soph, goalie Andy Scaglione, who averaged over 20 saves per game.

Senior co-captain Bill Legg chipped in three points and, according to coach Don Khoury was a fine field leader. Junior striker Mike Sculli had four goals and three assists while net-minder Tom Van Etten, also a junior, led the league in saves. Coach Laurie Woodworth used three words to describe this year's Varsity Girls' Soccer season: Cold, wet, and rainy! The weather rubbed off on the team as the girls posted a 4-11-1 season overall. The team will lose ten seniors including highscorer Debbie Meehan. Meehan had five goals and four assists while three-year veteran Kelly Minns contributed four goals and one assist. Cocaptains Jill Urbano and Carrie Klein both played forward. The defense was led by Nancy Jo Fischer and Julie Constable. They were joined at fullback later by Chrissy Sovereign, who made the transition from halfback. First year letter-winner Sue Greco and Jackie Taras rounded out the seniors on the 1986 squad. The three-year starting Varsity goalie. Karen Moose, was named to the First Team Finger Lakes East All-Stars. Moose, who also played fullback, is credited with one goal, one assist, and over 270 saves in the goal cage. The Varisty will have 9 returnees next season along with 12 upcoming sophomores.

Matt Yahnite Inexperience declaws Panthers The Geneva High Varsity Football team had two wins this year, those coming against Penn Yan and Pal-Mac. Coached by Randy Grenier, the Panthers were subject to what he called lack of experience.” Though they had six losses, the Panthers proved exciting in a 21-18 loss to league champion Canandaigua. Against the Penn Yan Mustangs, the team won 34-12, scoring two touchdowns in the opening 41 seconds. On the offense the Panthers were led by Sammy Wilson, who averaged 5.3 yards per carry. To run the offensive show, Grenier looked to senior Steve Shultz at quarterback. Junior back-up quarterback Mark Cowles replaced Shultz after a knee injury ended his season. Grenier said, This year was one of line development. After losing our offensive line to graduation we knew we had our work cut out for us. Defensively the Panthers were led again by Wilson, who had 40 solo tackles and 57 assists. He also had four in- terceptions. Other key defensive players were seniors Tom Salone and Rick Harrold and junior Bill Palmer. The Panthers will lose players in the skill positions. Seniors Rob Quigley and Matt Yahnite will leave their respective jobs as kicker and receiver. The Panthers will also lose Wilson, Shultz, Quigley and Gary Dean in the backfield. Our offensive line will be back, and that’s the key to any team’s success. A strong JV team should help out in refilling vacancies left by graduation.

The squad consisted of four veteran football cheerleaders — Jean Cass. Mary Driscoll, Lisa Gonyea, and Debbie Guerrie; two veteran basketball cheerleaders — Melissa Justino and Jackie Rowe — and. along with a well known GHS athlete Liz Wright, five other girls who had never cheered before — Kelly Mum-ford, Tanya Higgins. Mary Carroll, Michelle Bouchey, and Christine Johnson. The girls really appreciated the effort Mrs. Wild put into developing the PROWL squad’s potential, said Driscoll. Not only did the cheerleaders cheer for the Varsity Football team this year, they also made appearances at a JV Football game and a Varsity Volleyball match. The Volleyball Team personally asked the cheerleaders to come help root the team and the audience on during one of their biggest games of the season. a match against Midlakes. It was a lot of fun cheering for volleyball, because the crowd really got into the game,” said one of the senior cheerleaders. Coach Sheryl Wild summed up the 1986 season, saying Things were slow to start off with because we had to start with the basics, due to many rookies, but by mid-season, everything had come together and I was pleased. I don't think you could find another squad in the Finger Lakes with more enthusiasm. — Written by Jean Cass, reported by Mary Driscoll Jackie Rowe's father's truck was used to pull the Cheerleaders through downtown during the 1986 Homecoming Parade Here the girls show their enthusiasm to liven up things. Cheerleaders 37 Introducing: Karen McGuigan “One of the guys. That's what Karen McGuigan says she was as a little girl. She explains that she grew up with a bunch of boys in her neighborhood and because there were hardly any girls, she had to join in their games or be left out. Those early years of rough-and-tumble boys' games are what got her so interested in high school sports. Interested she has been! In addition to six years on the Swim Team, including two while she was at the Middle School, McGuigan has played basketball for four years and has been on the softball team for her spring sport. In wins against Newark, Bath, Canandaigua and N-R Wolcott. McGuigan took first places A knee injury her junior year when she was literally crunched between two cars kept her off the court for most of her third winter season, but she recovered enough to swim in several events in the fall of 1986 and to co-captain the Swim Team along with Ellen Matloff and Betsy Costenbader. Arthroscopic surgery on the knee in Dec. 1986 was necessary so she could play basketball last winter. I think it’ll be hard to balance sports and academics in college, McGuigan said. Thus she plans to limit her athletic career to intramurals in college until she adjusts to her courses at one of the SUNY schools she has applied to for the fall of 1987. In a 91-81 Swim Team victory against Newark. Ellen Matloff took first place Matloff dove tor Geneva for four years. 38 Girts Swimming Splashing comeback for the swimmers This year the Girls' Swim Team made a comeback from previous seasons and earned a 7-3 record.

In Section V semi-finals they ranked in the top 12. In the league championships meet, the Placing first against Marcus Whitman, diver Amy Clark helped her team to an 89-83 victory. Panthers finished third and in sectionals sixth in a field of 16 teams. The rally of the season was against Whitman, when the team went from ten points down to win by six. They also squeezed out a one-point win over Canandaigua. Co-captain Betsy Costenbader swam distance and speed events and was a 400-relay anchor. Competing in the I.M., 100-fly, 50, 100, and 200 freestyle was Krissy Elliott while Brenda Gilbert swam the fly and several distance events. Debbie Herring swam in both relays and the back-stroke and Beth Plano swam the 100-relay and the 200-free.

The future’s so bright... This year's team found itself in the middle of numerous close games and had to scratch their way to a 10-9 record, ’' said Coach Carl Wenzel, referring to the Varsity Boys' Basketball season. The Panthers picked up their wins beating Bath twice and Finger Lakes East opponents Penn Yan and Victor twice. They also came away with victories against Midlakes. Waterloo, Canandaigua, and Mynderse. In the final home game, probably the most exciting one of the season, the Panther took the Braves 57-51. In this game Geneva had to come back from a fourth quarter deficit. When Jeff Ferreri hit a jumper to make it 51-49, they took the lead for good with over a minute remaining. The win was preserved by clutch free-throw shooting by Corey Boatwright. For Wenzel, this victory was another milestone, his 100th win as GHS Varsity coach. Another big win was a 68-59 game over Waterloo. Rick Hemingway led the way with 18 points while Matt Yahnite added 14. For the year, the leading scorer was senior Rob Stenzel, who averaged 11.5 points per game. Yahnite averaged ten and was named to the second team allleague. Other seniors included Bob Doeblin, who racked up 13 points, 10 assists, and six steals in the victory over the Screaming Eagles. Darrell Daniels, Ferreri, and Jim Hemingway, a reserve forward, rounded out the seniors on the squad. In sectional play, the team lost a heart-stopper to Aquinas, 59-58. After being down 13 in the third quarter, Geneva fought back but could not overcome the Rochester school's momentum. The future? With Dante Reid, Boatwright. Ted Fitzgerald, Jason Winsor, and Rick Hemingway returning, and a host of JV’s from a championship squad, it looks bright for 1987-88.

This year's JV squad, led by sophomore captain Joanne DiDuro, is a very hard-working but young group, said Wild. JV Cheerleader-ing is supposed to prepare the girls for Varsity.

Although they posted a 16-2 record, the junior Panthers did not clinch the championship until the last game of the season. In that contest against Mynderse, Bill Kerr made two foul shots with five seconds left to win the game 49-47. Earlier in the season, Tony Cunningham scored 28 points and the winning bucket at the buzzer to take the Braves at Canandaigue 52-51. A third season highlight was a come from behind victory at Waterloo that saw Dan Pontes score 26 of the 56 points it took to beat Waterloo by five. High scorers for the team were Pontes with a 15.6 per game average and Cunningham with 11.6. The other three starters, Rich Kerr. Eric Robinson, and James Truley were also up in the stats. Even though Terry Muffley's Freshman Basketball team started off with a loss to Mynderse. they won six of their last seven games and ended up with a record of 11-4. The frosh beat Newark twice and, though they were behind by 20 at halftime, came back and took Mynderse in the second game by one point. The final game of the season was a 74-44 triumph over Canandaigua. Early in the season at Penn Yan, the high scorers were Rodney Lennon and Isaac Collins, a transfer to GHS from Mustang country. Both threw in 12 points in that contest. Against Newark, Jason Luongo, who had gone four for five at the foul line in a 62-36 win over Victor, blocked two shots.

The team finished with a losing record. With only three senior wrestlers, Coach Tom Notebaert cited his team as making a good effort. At the annual Panther Invitational five Geneva wrestlers placed. Junior Jayson Post, who deci-sioned Waterloo's Bill Norberg. won a title for the second consecutive season. Post was awarded the Don Knisely Memorial Award for most outstanding wrestler. Others who took places in the tournament were Rob Quigley, Bobby Pollino, David Huie, and Eric Eckenrode. Geneva had three consolation bracket winners in Tom Vasquez (98), Mark Hicks (112), and Jeff Trickier (145). Quigley, a senior with a 28-6 record, was the only GHS wrestler to place in the Class B wrestling sectionals at East Rochester. He became the first Geneva wrestler in two years to qualify for the Super Sectionals held at Brock-port on Feb. 28. Notebaert commented, Rob is a good wrestler, who uses good technique to beat his opponents. Also at East Rochester, Don I Richardson, Pollino, Post, and Vasquez all advanced in the tournament but lost in the consolation semi-finals. In other season highlights, Trickier, a senior who returned after a year's layoff, turned in a decision to help the Panthers to a 34-29 win over Mynderse. Hicks, who also is in the Class of '87, recorded a 38-second pin over his Hornell opponent in a 41-18 Panther victory.

It looked like the start of a promising season when the Varsity Volleyball team took Midlakes to five games. Despite the strong initial showing, the Varsity ended the season with a 2-12 record. Coach Dan Davids stated that the team's goal was to out do last year's number of wins, but we fell short. Co-MVP's Tara Pean and Arden Acquilano were the team's leading spiker and server, respectively. Karen Moose, whom Davids recalled as often sacrificing her body by throwing it on the floor,” was the leading setter. The team was paced by Dean's steady bumping and spiking while Davids said that Acquilano was probably the best server in Geneva girls' volleyball history. Davids also noted Kathy Strand’s spectacular shots at various times during the season. Davids also coached the Junior Varsity team, which ended the season with a record of 8-6. one of the best win-loss records in many seasons. Natalie Rivkin and Jackie Sculli held the record for longest serving strings in a single game, Rivkin with 14 in a row and Sculli with 10. The Varsity next year will return six lettermen and will pick up several strong JV players. However, a conflict may arise with other sports when volleyball is moved to the fall.

The team's high scorers were soph Pat Malcuria and junior Mike Thomas, who each averaged 190. In one game against Midlakes, which had a seventh-grader on the squad. Brian Prater had a 514 series. Later in the year, once again against the Screaming Eagles. Chris John rolled 551 and Joe French, a 502. Against the Braves, Malcuria had the hot hand, rolling games of 245-213-200 for a 658 series. In that 3-1 Panther victory, Malcuria was backed by Thomas (570), John (565), and Prater (543). Earlier in the year. Thomas had had a 600 series.

Geneva needed only a couple of additional firsts to have turned that 9 point loss into a win. Beaudry was a two-time winner in that meet for the Panthers, taking the 100 fly (:59.19) and the 200 free (1:59.75). Juniors Joe Spina and John Robbins swam in the freestyle events, while Jim Cecere competed in diving and swam in a medley.

With only 11 members on the 1986-87 Swim Team, coach Randy Grenier had to hope for personal improvement rather than team wins. He got it. For example, Against the Cougars, David Beaudry (left) paced the team with victories in the 100 fly and the 200 IM He also swam on the winning 200 medley relay. in regular season meets, sophomore Andy Scaglione won the 100 breaststroke against the Cougars, the Braves, the Reds, and the Wildcats, (whittling away at his time). In the league championship at Hobart on Friday, Feb. 20,1987, David Beaudry finished sixth in the 200-freestyle and took the championship in the 100-butterfly Steve Leone finished second in diving and Scaglione placed ninth in the breaststroke. Swimming 53 Intermission Once in a while, people have to take time out from classes and studying. During that intermission, students at GHS can showcase their talents in different activities. Taking time out from cheerleading and the business of being underclassmen, Trieu Harman and Dominitius Mattingly took the spotlight in the fall production of Fame. Later in the year the stage of GHS was lit up by the talents of Dan Long, Chris Spear. Abby Beckman, and Karen Moose as they took time out from classes to perform in the spring musical Fiddler on the Roof. Students from all four classes participated in the drama productions. A new spread in this year's Seneca Saga saw seniors Tara Dean and Tom Salone taking time out to be the models for a typical GHS 54 Student Life student'' spread. Salone played football for the school while Dean was on the volleyball and softball squads. SMAD is a service group which works on a very important aspect of student life. Students involved in the group — Students Making A Difference — spend their intermission trying to promote drug and alcohol awareness. The group held a volleyball tournament on Nov. 19 to raise money for their projects. Homecoming, pep assemblies, basketball games, dances. While students are taking a break from the academic hassle, they like to relax and join in on the intermission-time activities of student life. Reported by Jean Cass For the incoming freshmen, Spirit Week and Homecoming are the first big break from the routine ol 8.05 to 2:30.

This year’s Spirit Week started on a Tuesday with Opposite Sex Day. The winners in that event were Sam Bailey and Johanna Bloss. The following day was Four Seasons Day with the seniors dressing as summer, sophomores as winter, juniors as fall, and the freshmen as spring. That night students came back to school to decorate the halls according to their season. The Class of 1988 won the decorating contest. Thursday was Crazy Day. Students came to school with the craziest costumes they could find. The winners in that event were Kris Saglimbeni and Bill Legg. Friday ended Spirit Week with Black and Red Day, symbolizing the school colors. A pep rally was held in the gym to cheer on the teams for their games that weekend. The parade was held on Saturday. At halftime the juniors were announced the winners of the float. Also announced was Homecoming Queen Nancy Jo Fischer. About her crowning Fischer said, “It was the best feeling! Relief and excitement. I can't explain it. I was just really, really happy. I couldn't believe that I won, but I did and it felt great! I wanted to go hug my best friend, Louie. Also honored at halftime was Frank Young, former English Department chairman. Once again, a Saturday night dance put an end to Homecoming — that is until next year.

Well, fame costs and right here is where you start paying — in sweat! said Mrs. Berg (Layla Brewer) in the fall play Fame. Fame was about students at the School of the Performing Arts in New York City and their problems in adjusting to life. Mrs. Sherwood (Chris Spear), Mr Shorofsky (Gary Cole), Mr Farrell (Ed Cigna) and fellow teachers really cared about their students. All the kids at the school had some problems, but some were harder than others to solve. Dorris Schwartz (Alisa Trunzo) had a domineering mother. Mrs. Schwartz made all the decisions for her daughter, but finally Doris took charge of her life. Leroy Johnson (Dominitius Mattingly) wouldn't accept the fact that he couldn't read, but with Mrs. Sherwood’s help, he tackled the problem. By the end of their fourth year, everyone had grown up and was just about ready to face life on his own. As Kristy Hagadorn said, We all — the cast and the crew — worked very hard during practices, and you could see it in our two performances of Fame.” Erika Fothergill Fame 59 SMAD: Front —Julie Arthur.

The Tower of Pisa, she verified, does actually lean to one side. 60 Student Life Reaching Out It is not only the school property on Carter Road that torms the boundaries of the lives of GHS students. They reach out in other directions to touch areas that affect their lives. For instance. SMAD. Students Making a Difference, reaches out to promote drug and alcohol awareness. You may remember Beth and Jerry from AA who talked to students last year. They were brought here by SMAD This year the group sponsored a volleyball tournament and an after-school holiday party. Meeting at least once a month with ten to twenty regular members, SMAD welcomes anyone to the meetings; with more support, more of a difference can be made. Although basketball fans will recognize her name as one of the cheerleaders with a perky smile, the name Terri-Lynn Wolf is also familiar to community groups. As 4H Teen Ambassador, she represented the sheep industry. In that position she met government officials, national societies and 4H donor groups to discuss issues related to 4H. In other community areas, she worked as a volunteer for WCNY-TV. taught swimming at the Y, and was a coach for the Special Olympics. Reaching out in another direction. Mimi Mairs lived in Brescia. Italy, for her senior year. She described her time there as more demanding physically and emotionally than she had expected I never realized, she commented, that the job of ambassador' could entail pounding out dough to make ravioli. A student at the Instituto Tecnico Commericiale Statale. she did not hesitate to admit that school was a major challenge. Steering clear of the more commercial course, Mairs took classes which offered lessons in Italian: “I felt submerged in a pool of history, swimming about with the likes of da Vinci, Dante, and Bocaccio. With the aid of a tutor, she conquered scads of grammar and tons of irregular verbs. On a personal level, her adaptability was tested as she tried to find a way to relate to the high school.

For the first time ever they competed in individuals at Greece Then the team went on to capture the Section V Class AA crown, another first in the annals of Geneva sports 62 Student Life Doing it right The sayings about it are legion. One is Winning isn’t everything; it's the only thing. Whatever the saying. GHS students are sure to be among the winners. On Feb. 14,1987, forthe first time ever, the GHS Varsity Basketball cheerleaders won the Section V Class AA crown. In the sectional meet, each squad did three cheers — the first judged on mounts and pyramids, the second on jumps and gymnastics, and the third on overall effect. On the final cheer, “The Heat Is On, the six judges awarded the team a perfect score. With strong gymnastic skills, high spirits, and determination to win one for the coach’ (unavoidably detained in the maternity ward with her first baby), the 13 girls became the first GHS girls’ team to win a Section V title. GHS boasts winners in the academic arena also. On Jan. 20, sophomore Leah Abraham competed in the American Legion Oratorical Contest. Contestants had to deliver a ten-minute speech on some phase of the Constitution and a four-minute extemporaneous one on a topic drawn from a hat. In her first competition. Abraham took first prize, a $200 savings bond. Another sophomore. Jennifer LaGuardia. was this year's winner of the Hugh O'Brien Youth Leadership Competition. LaGuardia competed against 10 of her classmates for the honor to represent Geneva in the state contest, which was held in the spring. Of music award winner Chris Brown. John Fabrizio said, “He's a very fine and talented young musician. Brown plays not one. but four instruments. Besides school-related bands, he is in the Rochester Young People’s Orchestra. At the NYSMA solo festival. Brown, an all County choice for band and orchestra, got an A for his Grade 6 French horn solo. Twenty-four students in the Class of 1987 were awarded state scholarships. To qualify as a winner, each had to have a minimum score on the SAT’s or ACT’S. The following received the award, good for up to five years study at any New York State college: Arden Acquilano, Carolyn Barnes, Kathy Bruno, Betsy Costenbader, Chris Elder, Krissy Elliott. Dave Gage, Deb Herring. Matt Howard. Heather Kelly, Carrie Klein, Mimi Mairs, Pam McGuigan, Paul Miller, Mike Mirras, Beth Plano. Rob Quigley. Mark Rager, Jeff Sharman. Mike Smolowitz. Chris Spear, and Kim Welz. Winning special Emprie State scholarships worth $2,000 a year were Michele Evangelista and Scott Erwin. The saying goes, “a sound mind in a sound body. As far as the sound body goes, during the fall students completed a physical fitness test which measured agility, strength, speed, and endurance. Although everyone participated, two were named the most outstanding. Elizabeth Wright, when told she had the best scores for the girls, said, I didn’t really know how to react, but I was proud of myself and I felt good afterwards, Dante R. Reid. Geneva's High's top physically fit male, said he was extremely proud. He added, “I would rather play sports than do almost anything.” We don’t have to win a trophy or an award to be a winner. In our own unique way, we all have winning qualities. Reported by Melissa Herring. Heather Young, Margarita Gonzalez. Darlene Russ, Lisa Pemberton. Winners of the Empire Slate Scholarship.

Student Life 65 In the limelight Throughout the school year, various students step out of the crowd and into the limelight. The Class of 1987 has had many people who have taken their place center stage. Academically. Mary Driscoll won first place in the CCFL business competition in October 1986. Driscoll took first place in shorthand and then went on to take a first in the all-around which included shorthand, typing, grammar, and spelling. The team of Driscoll, Melissa Justino, Carrie Malcuria, and Michelle Guerrieri won second place honors out of eight competing schools. Yearbook co-editor Chris Spear was chosen to represent GHS in the all-state chorus held at the Concord Hotel. Athletically. Terri-Lynn Wolf turned heads 66 Seniors when she stepped into the limelight and placed in the top ten of over 80 contestants in a senior cheerleading contest at Greece Olympia Sam Wilson, who led the Varsity Football Panthers both offensively and defensively, was named to the second team all-stars as a running back. Also making the second team on offense was Gary Dean, who went on to shatter school records in Indoor Track. Tennis player Arden Acquilano was named all-league at second singles and made honorable mention on the Girts Volleyball all-league team. At the end of the year, instead of stepping into the limelight as individuals, the seniors as a clan took center stage as they ended their years in high school with their banquet and graduation activities. Reported by Jean Cass Innovators always, the Senior Class chalked up another first On Feb 2. 1987. they got together for dinner in the school cate to celebrate the beginning ot their last semester We re almost there' was the lettenng on their cake. '-A This year was the swan song for the Class of 1987. But they went through the last courses, the research papers, the labs, the translations with the same gusto Peter Cole put into his time at the dance that opened the school year. Seniors 67 Exchange student Adriana daCasta Zama sampled all types of things Americano' during her year in Geneva. This included computers as well as fast food and blue jeans! 68 Seniors In the Senior Year—honor passes, senior spirit, the prom, the breakfast, the banquet, the awards, the scholarships, and the anticipation of life after 6HS. The Class of 1987 has been looking forward to these things as they finished up 13 years of schooling. As far as privileges and honors are concerned, the Class of '87 has definitely found its place in the limelight. The new honor pass system entitles those seniors meeting the requirements to many freedoms during their assigned study hall periods. To qualify, seniors must carry at least Senior Officers (far led) Front — Steve Shultz. Brian Cholfin Back—Julie Constable. Carrie Klein. Cindy Avery, adviser Left — Part of Chns Crosier's life as a senior was doing research. I i m e I i a 3.0 GPA and not be failing a class or receiving a warning card for a potential failure. They can have no more than two study halls and must have a recommendation form signed by four teachers and their parents. Upon meeting these requirements, students receive an honor pass which they must carry with them during all study hall periods. This entitles them to be in the library, study carrels, the lounge, the cafeteria, and any other area supervised by a teacher. Attendance is not taken. An added bonus is that, with at least one day's notice and parental permission , students with a first or a first and second period study hall may arrive at school late. Senior Class president Carrie Klein remarked. If everyone cooperates, this should work well. People kept asking for a senior study hall, but this system can give seniors more freedom.” People like Lisa DeFrancesco and Lisa Mullins form friendships when they work on school projects However. some social science studies maintain that after graduation, a student remains good friends with less than 10 per cent of his close triends in high school. To raise money for the class, Rob Quigley. Carrie Klein. Jackie Taras, and adviser Cindy Avery manned the concession stand at basketball games g h t ... This freedom which seniors are given is a way of making the transition from a high school to the real world easier. As seniors begin to look toward life after GHS, they are faced with a sea of choices. For a small group of students who decided to send in their college applications for early decision, one of those choices had been made before Christmas break. I was really relieved when I received my acceptance from Bucknell, Heather Kelly admitted. Now I could enjoy my senior year without ‘the essay' still hanging over my head. With her early December notification from Duke University, swimmer Debbie Herring was the first of the Class of 1987 to learn of her early acceptance. Just in time to write those college and job applications, the awards began to pile in. Senior year seems to be the time when students are recognized for a variety of things from academics to good citizenship This year, 29 seniors were members of the Geneva chapter of the National Honor Society. When Regents scholarships were announced in February, a number of the Class of 1987 were assured of the $1,000 award to help defray the cost of college. The awards applied only to costs at a New York State college. Among many honored by scholarship and citizenship organizations was Karen Moose, who was named from GHS as the DAR Good Citizen. “It was a great experience to be chosen and to take the test, Karen said. “I felt very honored to be recognized for what I consider to be a normal part of my life. The Class of '87 kept very busy getting ready to leave GHS. Between this and keeping up all the classwork still involved in senior year, they managed to have a good time. Certainly the seniors found their place in the limelight. Chris Spear Seniors 69 Brainstormers face challenge This year for the first time in GHS history, four seniors were selected to participate in Brainstormers at WXXI in Rochester. The format for the show consisted of questions pertaining to academic courses such as math and from general knowledge. The experience proved to be challenging and mentally exhilarating for Betsy Costenba-der. Oebbie Herring. Pam McGuigan, and Mike Smolowitz. Chess Club founder and Bralnstormer Mike Smolowitz look math courses at Hobart in both his junior and senior years “It was fun,’’ said Herring, who was an alternate for Scott Erwin. “Before the competition, Mrs. Turri had the team assemble in her room after school. There she had little “squeezy toys which we used to practice hitting the bell. This preparation paid off because Herring went on to score points for the team with an answer to a question on The Wizard of Oz. I tried not to be nervous, but you just can't help it! said Smolowitz, who was the team's captain. He said that with the tension mounting, and the cameras poised, and filming, it is hard to keep your cool. He added, We knew all the answers to the questions: the problem was that we didn't buzz in fast enough. One kid on the opposing team seemed to know the answer to every single question!” After hours of convoluted questions and answers, GHS bowed to Greece-Athena. On the way home, we were all tired and sad, but Brainstormers was fun and I want to do it again. said Costenbader.

Cerere says, “Being President for the past two terms, Ronald Reagan has shown that he is a doer. When a problem arises, he takes action.

You've heard rumors about this strange new country, and you're wondering if they are true. You’re curious as to what school will be like. Will anyone like you? These are just a few of the anxieties that floated through the minds of exchange students Samira Chabli, Merete Larsen, and Adriana Zaina. Samira is from Kenitra. Morocco. At 19-years old, she has a variety of interest, two of which are jazz and aerobic dancing. She said, I like it here. When I first came, it was hard for me to meet people. Now I have a lot of friends. Like many other students, Sam likes to go to the Starliterto dance. Oh her first visit to the U.S., she stayed with Merlem Walthy. Host family to Merete was Paul and Sandy Ottley. She comes from Sdr. Omme, a little town in Denmark. About GHS, the 17-year-old Merete said, “It’s confusing and very different from what I’m used to.” Back home in Denmark, she explained that the teachers come directly to the various classes and the students don't switch rooms. Rotary exchange students Merete and Samira have met a vanety ot people here at G.H.S. One is sophomore Aaron Mantegna. Also lockers aren't needed because all of the books are kept with you. On her first visit to the U.S., Merete was on the fall Swim Team. I would have missed my home more if it wasn't for the Panthers, she said. Comparing Geneva High to her school in Sao Paulo, Brazil, 19-year-old Adriana stated. Here, the day ends at 2:30. Back in Sao Paulo, it ends in mid-day.” The courses back in Brazil are extremely demanding, as they are strictly academic. To take cooking or Tech Ed, she said that a student would have to go to an expensive private school. Adriana spent most of her free time traveling to other cities to meet with other exchange students. At the beginning of the year, she stayed with Cathy Pearce: later, she was with Sharon Steadman. All in all, she lived with four different families. At home, Adriana commented, “they said Americans were cold, but everyone here wants to be friends with me.” Matt Howard Michelle Kimball Carolyn Ann Klein Rock n roll never forgets Merete Larsen Bill Legg Nicholas Legott 'Make sure you take the right path' Stephen A, Leone More is all you need1'' Kerry E.

He is a coach and a volunteer for the sports program. He does not work alone in his endeavors, but has help from other volunteers and other coaches. His work, as he stated, is not dull. “We teach the athletes basic skills they need to participate and to qualify them for state competition, he explained. When asked about how he manages to fit in his other activities with his volunteer work, he claimed, I don’t mind making the sacrifices. He has managed to play Varsity Football, wrestling, and tennis. Moreover, he stated that his work is actually quite enjoyable. A full academic schedule keeps Cataline busy. His electives include two writing courses.

Just about a week before school started, all seniors received a letter in the mail from class president Carrie Klein saying to meet in the parking lot on the first day of school at the plaza for a senior parade. Many seniors came with their own or their parents' cars to drive to the first day of school in style. Everyone decorated their cars with everything from balloons to crepe paper to silly string. The seniors followed a route that took them past the Middle School. The parade was not without some near misses. Luckily, the accident the blue Horizon almost had with a black LeBaron and a brown Audi didn't happen, or the senior class would never have made it to the red light that the grey Ford escort went through. Needless to say. the seniors made it to school — safely but loudly. Carmen Bello's reaction to the parade was It was exciting! Rich Christensen said. Class president Carrie Klein had the seat of honor on the seniors' Homecoming float. Life's a Beach “It added spirit to all the seniors who participated.” Another member of the class added. It was a great way to show that the Class of '87 planned to be different. The first ever Senior Parade was a success. The next senior group activity was togas on Crazy Day in October. That was also a success. Who can forget Kelly Minns in her flannel teddy toga or Arden Acquilano and Julie Arthur in Smurf sheets? A lot of senior style came out that day. A few people, like Debbie Guerrie and Jean Cass, added more to their outfits by wearing headbands. This event brought the seniors together in laughter and in fun. The Class of '87 strove to stick out like a sore thumb. Their attempts to be different were successful because they left people wondering, What will they think of next!

Tennies Dream not of yesterday but of tomorrow Jeffrey J. Tiballi Life for my own — to live my own way If I were a freshman ... 80 It is often said that the freshman year is the year you most regret. The question asked seniors was What would you do differently if you could relive your freshman year? A senior boy who transferred in at the beginning of his junior year said that he would have come to Geneva High for ninth grade instead of having spent his first two years at DeSales. Rick Harrold and Lisa Mullins feel they definitely would have had better class attendance. Taking non-Regents is what Melissa Justino would have done, instead of struggling through the Regents Sullivan felt non-Regents was too easy and wishes he had taken Regents instead. Kathy Bruno was one of many who said they should have gotten more involved in school activities. All in all. most of the Class of 1987 have things they would have liked to have been different their freshman year. But, as P.J. Cataline said, “I realize that I cannot change the past, so I am instead looking to the future.’ Written by Jean Cass, reported by Wendy Coleman. Looking back to ninth grade, the Class of 1987 (below and right) can see that they too were typical freshmen. Richard Tillman Christine A.

Christine Ann Zeoli Little things affect little minds Seniors 81 S E N I O R MEM Fear, according to Webster's is a teeling of anxiety or nearness of danger, evil, or pain.” Children, it seems are plagued by many fears. Why? Because the things they fear are foreign to them and because certain things in nature cannot be easily explained. Thinking back to when she was a child, one senior told about how terrified she was of thunder and lightning. The only way I got through a thunderstorm was to believe that the angels were bowling in heaven, she explained. She also thought that when the sky lit up, there was a strike! Along this same line was Brian Choffin’s recollection: “I used to be afraid that my house would be struck by lightning and it would burn down. Many seniors used to fear animals. One day I went into the laundry room and a huge, black snake slithered out from under the dryer. This story was told by a girl who to this day hates snakes. One girl was scared of her brother's hamsters: Every time I picked one Seniors and athletes Brian Chotfin and Brenda Gilbert haven't changed too much since these pictures were taken. O R I E S up it bit me. and I had to get a tetanus shot They hurt, she remembered. A fear of the dark is what one boy recalls. He said, You never know what’s lurking in there! As a child another senior boy was afraid to go to sleep. He said, I had nightmares every night that someone was chasing me with an ax.” Another common fear stems from being afraid of losing something close to you. Recalling an incident at the Grand Canyon. Karen Moose said, I was at a scenic overlook. When I looked up. I saw our car driving away. I ran after the car and my dad finally stopped. Ever since then, I have been afraid that my parents would leave me somewhere. We all must overcome our childhood phobias, or at least learn to cope with them. Unfortunately, as we conquer some, we gain new ones! Beth Plano, Lisa Pemberton 82 t Seniors Seniors 83 ‘Always a kid at heart.. 84 Seniors When I grow up ... A What do you want to be when you grow up?” is a famous line from kindergarten days. Jim Sherman, always said a cop or a fireman because he thought those jobs would be “exciting and adventuresome. P.J. Cataline remembers answering a policeman. ” He has concluded that his goal was probably inspired by Sesame Street and the These Are The People in Your Neighborhood” skits. It's hard to believe that just a few years ago the seniors were dressing up and playing grownup. There were no limits to their imaginations. For example Jim Cecere wanted to be an airplane pilot because he “loved to fly to Florida Medicine attracted both Carol Far-rance and Amy Eshelman. It was psychiatry for Carol and dentistry for Amy. who explained, “I liked teeth!” Back then it was simple to choose an occupation Jessie Bennett had her heart set on being an actress. She said. I was spoiled and loved to be the center of attention. But now that it’s time to go to college or move on to a job, the choice is no longer that easy. There is so much to do, so many things to see and to try. There are the questions of salary (a big one for many Pictured left, top to bottom — Carmen Bello. Carol Farrance, and Christine Sovereign in the Class of '87), qualifications, hours, locations. Because her first love has always been swimming. Brenda Gilbert wanted to become a professional in that sport. But now, experience has shown her that going on to school for cosmetology or psych is more realistic. Kim Walter, who says she wanted to be a doctor because she wanted to help people, has decided instead to try for a job as a communication designer. Business Management is where golfer Jeff Sharman is headed. Back when, the GHS golfer wanted to be an astronaut. He confessed. ‘I really wanted and still do want to travel in space. Laura McNeil, who had considered teaching, also plans on college, though she is not sure what field. One senior. Liz “Snoopy Fenner, is going to be what I wanted to. Ever since she was little, she's wanted to be a chef: It’s a good way to see different customs and to enjoy the different types of foods, she said. So now. while struggling to make the best decision about her future. Mary Driscoll nostalgically remembers when she wanted to be a motorcycle rider: “They rode so fast down my street while I just sat pedalling my bicycle.' Reported by Abby Beckman. Paul Carson Seniors 85 Seniors would Many students would love to get a chance to be on the other side of the desk. What would they teach? Would they be strict? How would they act? Some surprising answers came from the Class of 1987. A number of seniors interviewed based their answers on matters of personal interest. For example. Paul Bleakley would like to see a school built upon the system of trust between the students and the teachers.” He also said. There will be mass support of the hockey team!” DeWayne Hurdle, a fellow hockey player, agreed, but also added. “I would be less harsh than some teachers are.” “I’d quiz them (students) to death, was the harsh reply given by Matt Howard. This would enable the students to function well on material they should have learned. Others polled suggested that the administrative process be placed in the hands of the seniors. “A senior democracy should be formed — a school of the seniors, for the seniors, by the seniors,” Rick Presutti commented. The underclassmen should be presided over by the seniors, and the seniors should hold all the power!” love to teach?

As an understudy to the fourth year seniors, your first three years at GHS are quite different. All you think about your freshman year is how scared” you are to be in high school. More competition in academics and sports, your first Homecoming, and longer studying hours are all changes to get used to. Your sophomore year lets you feel a little more at ease. You are still an understudy to the two upper classes, but you feel more comfortable in the school's surroundings. You realize the work is getting harder, so your studying becomes more intense. Your junior year is probably the most stressful of them all. PSAT's loom on the horizon and you must try to raise your grades in your weaker subjects for college entrance. But, finally, three years as understudies to the seniors are over and each class moves center stage to its senior year.

It has always been but the joys and frustrations of high school will always be a memory — a memory that will never be forgotten. Freshman year is often scary. Getting used to more homework and trying to be accepted by the upperclassmen are just two of the adjustments that freshmen have to face. This is not always true, though A future graduate of 1990 said, “I don't mind being a freshman because I know so many upperclassmen. Sophomore year seems to be the year of finally fitting in with everyone else. It is also the year many students can get a driver's permit. Tenth grade is the year sophomores experience their first time dissecting earthworms and pigs and putting together a lengthy research report for English Ten. For some students, junior year means getting a part-time job. It also means an abundance of homework. “I think we get too much work and not enough time for fun, stated Tracey Doty. Preparing for college starts in the junior year. PSAT's and SAT s have to be taken and grades have to be up for the juniors to be considered for certain colleges. There is a bnght side to all this. As one junior said. Being a junior helps me organize my time between homework and fun. High school years are truly among the most memorable. School life — dances, the prom, musicals, games and homework — are just some of the many memories that people cherish forever. “It was the best of times. . . “— Reported by Monique Guilfoyle Class Officers: Front — Jonathan Mairs.

One job that has honored its employees is working for the local paper the Finger Lakes Times. The newspaper gives out an award to the outstanding carrier of the year. Four Geneva High students have received this award. They are Derek Radtke. Jason Howard. Peter Cole, and Garry Cole. Derek Radtke, who received the honor carrier award in September 1985, had been delivering the paper for three years. Radtke was recommended for the award by the 75 customers on his route. Later, he had to stop delivering papers because of his participation in Panther football, volleyball, and track. Jason Howard, a sophomore, has also delivered papers for three years. For his efforts, Jason said he got a trophy and an honor carrier bag. He received the award in March 1986. Howard says he enjoys serving the 55 customers on his route. Junior trumpet player Derek Radtke travelled to Trumans-burg this year to participate in the area's all-state band People who are on these routes really seem to appreciate the efforts the carriers put in.

For several GHS students and Marien Canale, their chaperone, who spent a week in Mexico the spring of '86, it was a blast! The tourists arrived in sunny Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, the night of March 29. The National Palace the Cathedral, and The Museum of Anthropology were the main highlights of Mexico City. Next it was off to the village of San Miguel de Allende, where they spent the night in an old mission hotel. Then in Guanajuato they took a city tour which included the cathedral, an old theater, and a mummy museum. That night the mariachi band played on the zocalo near their hotel. With a short stop in Guatalajara. the second largest city in Mexico, the Tequilla, it was off to the main attraction. In Portaviarta the students got to do what they wanted — within reason! Some, like Nicole Gillotti. Chrissy Sovereign, and Julie Constable, took to the beach to get tanned and to meet a few “mexicanos guapos. Others either shopped or went horseback riding. But David Boone. Brad Davie. Erica Cooney, and Pam Chilbert were more adventuresome and went parasailing. Portaviarta was everyone's favorite, and so was parasailing—for those who attempted it. The bus rides were given a thumbs down. There were no complaints about the food, which was better than most had expected. When they used their Spanish, they encoun- a Mexico tered the typical situation. Chilbert, Cooney, and Gillotti were talking to some Mexican guys in Spanish unbl they found out they spoke English!

What exactly is the Ivy League9 Allison Principio, cofounder of the club, summed it up as “a social club whose main objective would be to aid the community while gaining experience in the fields of community welfare and all around social growth. Before this year, the only girls' social club for GHS students was the OQ Club, which has existed for over 30 years. Twenty-eight girls are in that club, which is made up of sophomores, juniors, and seniors. OQ participates in projects such as ringing bells for the Salvation Army, judging costumes in the Halloween parade, donating food for the less fortunate, and singing at nursing homes. This year the club's president is Julie Constable, the vice-president is Betsy Costenbader, the secretary is Karen Moose, the treasurer is Debbie Herring, and the advisers are Mrs. Nancy Constable and Mrs. Linda Sovereign. An annual such a group. Co-consuls (presidents) Principio and Carroll sent out letters and applications to girls, asking for their membership and for ideas for activities. With twenty responding, the new club was formed. Advised by Mrs. Paula Burden. Mrs. Mary Carroll, and Mrs. Ivy Principio, the consuls are also assisted by Lisa Gonyea as secretary, and Erika Fothergill as treasurer. In October the fledgling club made its first public appearance at Homecoming with their float. The club plans to participate in activities that aid the needy, nursing homes, the hospital, and Happiness House. In the future they hope to sponsor social activities for GHS students. Junior Veronica Ransom said of the new club, It's fun; I like getting involved in projects.” Kris Saglimbeni Both the Geneva High band and the floats by students are important parts of the Homecoming Parade The IVY League float (below) was a new entry this year OQ member Jennifer Powers played sax with the band.

This hear the dance was held at the American Legion and the Beatles Twist and Shout theme helped to attract 230 students. For Ivy League, this year was a period of growth.

And yes, every morning some of those same students never reach their destination in time. At these moments, the more creative and ingenious excuse-makers benefit substantially from their story-telling talents. Many superior excuse-makers prefer to keep their secrets on explaining tardiness to themselves. However, some of them did consent to reveal an excuse or two. Beth Wheeler, a GHS junior, offered as her best excuse: A dinosaur fell asleep in the road and I didn't want to wake it up. Another junior, Latin student and swimmer Joey Spina said that he explains his lateness by saying that his dog ate his car keys. Members of the Class of '89 are no slouches in the excuse department. “I did my homework but on the way to school, I was mugged by an escaped convict, and he stole my Latin homework. Now. of course, not all excuses for being unprepared for class are as ridiculous as that one, but everyone has used at least one silly reason for being unprepared. “I didn’t do my homework because I didn't feel like it was Jeanne Evange- lista's favorite while Marshall Ansley said he just explains that he forgot to take the book home. Rosalyn DeGraw has two favorites. Topping her list is I was sick last night, so I didn't do my work. Her other favorite is Oh, I forgot we had homework. One of the all-time favorites has always been. I did my homework, but I left it on the table and my dog ate it. Josh Cohen uses that one and some others that have worked for him. A perennial good one is; “It blew out the window.” Other reasons GHS teachers get from the sophomores included A very simple excuse why I didn’t do my homework is because I watched TV until 11 p.m. (Chrissy Khoury); No one told me! (Sam Gramet); I didn't want to! (Steve Olsen); and Steve Cataline’s simple Because ...” Of all the excuses that the sophomore class gave for not being ready with their work, Kathleen Kean's showed the most flair.

For the Class of 1989 it was a nervous, unsettling experience. Natalie Rivkin, who was interviewed for a summer job working at the YMCA day camp by Stanley Proffitt and Mike DiAntonio. said. “He (Stan) kept jotting things down. That’s what made me nervous. While being interviewed by Bill Larsen for a cashier’s job at Bell’s Mary Carroll said she was surprised “I didn’t spill ink on his tie.” Most people would like to change some part of their interview. Joe Midiri said he would “have been less nervous and told him more about myself in his interview with Bert Townsend for a job at Odd Fellows. Mary would have done This year the sophomores built their float at Mary Laure Boone's house They selected Winter as their season to represent. something simpler. “I was chewing gum; I wish I wasn’t,” she admitted.

Despite the students moans about the food, the GHS cafetena has a variety of offerings Even certain kinds of junk foods — such as Paul Carson enjoyed — are available Munchtime A,B,C — not the alphabet, but one of the most important times of the day at GHS. The three lunch times let the classes relax while they’re munching out in the cafeteria. Naturally, everyone has something to say about the most important part of lunch — the food. Many freshmen feel that the best food in the cafeteria is french fries, with hot ham and cheese finishing a close second. The sophomores who were polled put the ham and cheese in first with pizza second. Receiving a lone vote (from Suzette Russ) was baked chicken. Russ, a GHS athlete, said. It's not that great, but it’s good for school. Jeanine Bell’s favorite is Jell-0 with fruit and whipped cream. Cheerleader Kelly Mumford buys just three lunches: chili, Sloppy Joes, and chicken ala king. Everything else,” she said, tastes terrible. Oddly enough the hot ham also topped another list — what the freshmen said was the worst food on the menu. (Make up your minds, 1990!) Some of the frosh said the pizza was worst because it is ugly and tastes terrible.” Melted or grilled cheese was way up on the most disliked list — because it’s hard. Other freshmen such as Tim Millerd gave hamburgers (too greasy) a thumbs down. However, food is not the only item of interest during 4ABC. I watch everybody and see them entertain each other. explained Margarita Caraballo. Talking with friends, sleeping, and even doing homework were listed as what to do other than eat. Scott DiDuro said he used the waning minutes of lunch to flirt while John Pollino says he and his friends play some cards if we have the chance. What could be done to improve the food situation? Installing a pop machine, serving T-bones for $2.00, offering taco salads and veal parmesan would bring the sophs into the cafeteria line more regularly. They also listed Whoppers with cheese, fried chicken, and fast food” as big favorites on their ideal menu. The most specific ideal lunch, however, was described by Steve Olsen, who got dreamy-eyed over A Big Mac, large fries, and a chocolate shake! 102, Sophomores Rachel Passaiacqua Ronald Passaiacqua Karen Patrick Caledonia Perez Kristine Pine John Pollino Daniel Pontes Jennifer Powers Jeffrey Pullano John Pullano Scott Rager Dante Reid Stephen Riccione Don Richardson Tina Rinebold Tomasa Rivera Natalie Rivkin Cecilia Rodriquez Rafael Rodnquez Michelle Ross Jacqualme Rowe Suzette Russ Susan Salloum Andrew Scaglione Trudy Schaefer Mary Schwamlem Scott Shendan Gretchen Shultz Ark) Simon Ray Sims Alvin Singleton Bnan Smith Helen Smith Dean Smatecki Denise Solomon Daniel Sovereign Patricia Spa no Mary Kelly Sullivan Felix Torres Ronald Trunzo Mark Urtoano Douglas Van Buren Amanda Venuti Jennifer Venuti Marcy Volker Stacy Walker Robert Welz Steven Wheeler Toshia White Sophomores 103 Matthew Abraham Thomas Abraham Ruben Alconero Salvatore Anastasi Katnna Anniello Stefan Baer Jeanine Bell Chnstine Bennett Kelly Bixler Frances Blair Johanna Bloss Edna Bogan Elaine Bogart Paul Boncaro Richard Bouchey Shawn Boume Laylla Brewer Lyndsey Brown Joseph Bruno Chnstopher Buzalko Dana Caito Melanie Calabrese Melody Calabrese Reta Calder John Campbell Richard Campbell Robert Campbell Andrea Carragher Freshmen limp into action Some people say that freshmen get the worst of everything. This seems to include injuries. The Class of 1990 has made a great jump into its first year. In some cases, however, they came down too hard! There were at least six known injuries to freshmen in the first quarter of their high school career. While Nestor Ortiz was playing football, he injured his ankle. Although it was only sprained. Ortiz maintained that It sure felt like it was broken. ” To Ortiz, his six weeks on crutches had its ups and downs. Like most people, his list of disadvantages was much longer than the advantages. What Ortiz liked least about his injury was that he couldn’t play sports. Pain, obnoxious flights of stairs, walking, and ice packs were all things he came to abhor. Some things did lighten the impact of the injury, though. Getting out of class early, having someone else carry his books, and riding the elevator certainly helped ease the pain of being out of commission. Now Ortiz has some advice about broken bones. Be careful, he says. Don’t be in the wrong place at the wrong time. One day after Ortiz had been on crutches for a month. Laylla Brewer walked into Homeroom 112 wearing a sling. Looks like you had a fun weekend. What did you do?” one student cracked. Flipped over the handlebars on my bicycle and broke my collarbone. Brewer answered. She said that though the pain was terrible,” the codeine wasn't much better. It doesn’t help much, she said. However, there were some good results she found to being injured Brewer listed no housework and gifts of flowers as pluses. When asked to give some advise about injuries, Brewer said, “If you break your collarbone. don’t expect to do cartwheels. Craig Leisenring spent the first few weeks of school in a finger-splint, nursing a broken finger. He remarked, “I don't even know how I broke it.” While playing basketball a few weeks later, he sprained his ankle! There was nothing about that injury that he liked. It occurred over a long weekend, which he had to spend inside with his foot immobilized. Leisenring also missed out on basketball games. That was a real drag,” he commented, but the worst part was being on crutches. I was on them three days, and that was three days too long. ” When asked what one thing he would remember about this incident, Craig said, without batting an eyelash, Pain. That's all.

This is something that upperclassmen have always taken for granted. ‘'Budging in line, knocking books out of the freshmen's hands, and basic ordinary teasing are all part of this dilemma. Through the years, every freshman class has dealt with the problem of being abused” by the three older classes. This year, some of the Class of 1990 felt that they were picked on a little too often. Being a senior,” said Debbie Guerrie, I can hardly see where the freshmen can say that we are neglecting them.' Michelle Guerrieri also had some thoughts on the matter. She stated, “Seniors don't treat freshmen any different than we were treated in our freshman year. Why cry?” Swimmer David Beaudry remembered being on the receiving end of the teasing when he was new in the school. He said, Everyday in gym class, the upperclassmen used to beat me up and give me wedgies!” Memories of things like that are also vivid for Marla Mastrogi-ovanni, who commented, I used to get thrown in trash cans during gym class! Brian Cook, a junior, told about how he used to get jumped on in the lounge area every day during lunch by upperclassmen. “It seemed as if every girl in the senior class hated me when I was a freshman, said another upperclassman. But you just have to live with it,” she added philosophically. On the freshman side of the story, B.J. Ventura remarked, “It's just something that you have to live with. Others, however, don't look at it like that; some of the freshmen made a big deal over whether freshmen have rights. Eric Heieck said he feels the underclassmen have rights, but, he added, Freshman abuse is really no big deal. One anonymous girl said, It's just a matter of knowing the right people. In other words, starting freshman year with a few upperclass friends will help you not get picked on! Jean Cass. Paul Carson 106 Freshmen Freshman year is a challenge.

The cave men did it in France; Michelangelo did it in Italy, and students do it at Geneva High. Music, sports, and pictures of friends are just some of the things that freshmen were hanging in their lockers this year. Decorations ranged from pictures of friends and celebrities to labels such as SWATCH. REEBOK. and BENETTON. In decorating, some people added class to their lockers, while others seemed to achieve the homey look. In lockers like that, you can find anything from last weeks's lunch to long overdue homework. One decorating technique is to use the maximum of available space as football player Paul Boncaro explains to Cindy Palmer, a member of this year's Indoor Track Team Boncaro decorated not only the door but also the inside of his locker. As an active member of the performing arts and because of her busy schedule. Melissa Herring uses her locker as a home away from home I like to decorate my locker with things that express my personality, said Lisa Giovan-nini, whose locker was filled with pictures of friends and items of personal interests. When I open my locker, she added, I would much rather see my friends' smiling faces than a bare door. Just by looking at my locker, people can tell a little bit about me.” These brightly-colored lockers are obviously more than just a place to store books. Since they will have these lockers for the four years they spend at Geneva High School, the students in the Class of 1990 have more or less moved in to them. Reported by Stephanie Fitzgerald, written by Johanna Bloss and Melissa Herring Just a place to throw things — Johanna Bloss and Lisa Giovannim assess the value of the contents of Ethan Todd's lived-in locker. Most of the guys in the freshman class seemed to like plastering pictures of models and their favorite sports on the inside of the door Nestor Ortiz drew his own sports pictures to hang in his locker, while Rich Bouchey papered his locker with pictures of cheerleaders and sports pictures. Paul Boncaro, who likes to play football and lacrosse, said. I like all the pictures in my locker because I am into those sports. On the other hand. Alison Dickson prefers the more lived-in look. She’d rather have her locker a home away from home than a place to just store textbooks! 108 Freshmen Cindy Palmer Linda Palmer Robert Parker Ronnie Parker Nichelle Parks Jennifer Parrott n m I V • .

So it is at GHS. Through membership in one or more of the functioning clubs at the high school, people can try out in roles other than that of the student. For those interested in publishing and writing, the newspaper and yearbook offer hands-on experience in putting together student publications. Those interested in current affairs and in debate join the Model UN Club while three language clubs expand the cultural and social horizons of those enrolled in a foreign language. A chance to play a political role is also possible in the Student Council, which is made up of over 50 students from all four of the classes. For the person who likes to play the athletic role, the Ski Club, Varsity Club, or the Fishing Club are available. Those interested in more intellectual competition become a part of the Chess Club. All in all. dubs are an important part of GHS. By joining them, students learn what is required of the vanous vocational and avocational roles they might be playing later. Membership in these groups helps high school students to define their roles after they have graduated.

Advised by Patrick Ryan, the club meets every Thursday during the school year to organize for future trips. Sophomore David Windsor was elected president of the group for 1986-87. Although only one bus was rented for this year's trips, the Ski Club also signed up new members. One neophyte skier. Kathy Bruno, joined for the first time because she had always wanted to learn how to ski. She thought Senior Kathy Strand, who works at the Belhurst Castle, has been in the Ski Club tor all tour ot her years at Geneva High that joining the club would be the perfect way to try it. Officers of the 1986-87 Ski Club were Paul Bleakley, president: Betsy Costenbader, vice-president: and Lauren Addona, treasurer. Weather permitting, the club took trips every Wednesday for six weeks with advisers Sharon Holben and Bill Mulvey. Arden Acquilano Fishing-Ski Club 113 Command performances Football games, pep rallies, parades — something would be missing from these activi-ies if it wasn't for the Geneva High Marching Band. Not only is the band an important part of these school functions, but it also keeps busy participating in parades for other communities as well as for Geneva. This fall, the band won second place in what director John Fabrizio called a highly competitive festival in Penn Yan. Mr. Fab commented. The band is definitely on the upswing with the help of an organized color guard and a group of dedicated students. Another second place prize was earned for the band's participation in Geneva's annual Spookeree Parade. This year's half-time show was done to the tunes Acion and “It Don’t Mean a Thing.” Derek Radtke added a special touch with his trumpet solo in the upbeat Latin song. It’s a real feeling of satisfaction when you've practiced something and you finally get it right,” said senior member Matt Howard about the hours of work it took to get the show ready. After a vacation’ during the winter months, the Marching Band was back in action playing a variety of functions including a parade in Williamson and the Gorham Pageant of Bands, When Karen Moose said, We may not be the best, but we sure have a heck of a lot of fun, she pretty much summed up the feelings of the 1986-87 GHS Marching Band. Chris Spear In addition to the regular halt-time show, the Color Guard helped out on Homecoming Day as they made an arch tor Homecoming Queen Nominee Debbie Guerrle and her escort. Paul Bleakley. Fall is a very busy time of year for many GHS students. David Boone, who is one of the 30 underclassmen in the Marching Band, also played Varsity Soccer This meant that he had to work in practices for two activities as well as leaving time for homework 114 Marching The 16 members of the GHS Color Guard put in extra hours this year working with instructors Steve Jones, Pam Bryan, and Jill Huling.

Pam McGuigan. and David Ward They participated in a tournament in the beginning of the second semester 116 NHS-UN-Chess Academic clubs open to students There are three academic clubs at Geneva High. They are the Chess Club, Model UN. and the National Honor Society. Students must be selected by the faculty for NHS, and, although anyone can join Chess Club and Model UN, they involve a great amount of talent in strategy and planning. Forty-four new members were inducted into the National Honor Society this year. These new members have shown the qualities of leadership, service, character, and scholarship. However, any new inductees must maintain an academic average of 3.30. This is a higher average than the previous members had to maintain. The members of the NHS are involved in two service projects. They set up a service tutoring program. If a student feels that he needs some academic assistance, then he can receive help from an NHS member who donates his study halls and some of his other free time after school for tutoring. Also, the members contributed much of their time to the Smith Opera House. January 17, 18, and 19 of this year, NHS members worked on restoring the theater. One job was rescrewing the backs on the chairs. You wouldn't believe the number of pieces of gum stuck under the seats, One member said Kim Welz and Pam McGuigan were stuck with scraping off the residue. All in all,” commented Matt Howard, it was fun!” One new club started this year is the Chess Club. Chess is a game played by two people who use a square board divided into 64 places. The chess pieces, 32 in number, have various shapes. It is an intellectual contest which requires complex analysis rather than chance in order to win. It's challenging. said Alisa Trunzo, who learned how to play from Pam McGuigan. The club meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays in Room 302. Senior Mike Smolowitz, who brought the club into existence with the aid of Mr. Cigna, and Matt Howard are regular NHS president Betsy Costenbader inducted fellow swimmer Lauren Addona into the NHS during the tall ceremony members who battle it out after school. Said Howard, It's fun when I trap my opponent and he can't do anything about it. It's fun to watch them squirm! Model UN, which meets in Room 216 and in the library, requires skills in the areas of research and speaking. Heather Young, who prepared for her first conference last January, imagined walking into a conference to meet a bunch of brainy little people with all those big words going on and fighting. An actual conference is much more organized than Young's imaginary one. Each school participating is given one or more countries to represent. The students then research the country to establish a viewpoint.” It is often a difficult task to represent that country's viewpoint, especially if you disagree. The next step is to write resolutions or proposals for changing the conditions around us. Resos can be on any topic from deployment of SOI to stopping drug trafficking. However, they must be limited to two to three minutes. The last step is to write a speech which explains the resolution An experienced delegate. Ron Passalacqua, said that he sees lots of strange people waiting to tear me up with questions when he makes his speech. Delegates are given around a minute to ask each speaker questions to help clarify nebulous points. The club adviser is Joseph Urban. When asked why he coaches the Model UN, he replied, I ask-myself that many times during the day! Then, more seriously, he added, I enjoy the debating and I enjoy the caliber of the students in the group. Reported by Leah Abraham, Chris Jackson. Patti Reidy NHS-Chess-UN 117 Mix athletics and academics Members of the 1986-87 Varsity Club combined a competitive spirit with strong scholarship. Thirty-nine of its 58 members were named to the first quarter honor roll and 28 are also members of the National Honor Society. Said president Rob Quigley, It’s important to have a balance of academics and athletics; it makes for a well-rounded individual. The group brings together athletes from all sports. These athletes are distinguished by having won two or more Varsity letters. David Beaudry. Steve Leone. Steve Shultz, and Arden Acquilano have been cited as the senior members with the most Varsity letters. Quigley is assisted by vice-president Karen McGuigan. Guy Spader Sr. advises the group. Throughout the year members are asked to assist with recreational programs such as Pee Wee wrestling and public swimming. The group’s main purpose is the support and recognition of student athletes, so they raise money to sponsor an annual Block G Banquet where awards are presented to individuals showing not only athletic prowess but also spirit and sportsmanship.

M°M uuA Haa� i Indoor track makes comeback After an absence of four years, the Indoor Track team is back in action. Over 20 teams from the Rochester and Buffalo areas compete in meets held at the University of Rochester during the winter months. In the season's opener. Gary Dean placed first in the long jump and set a school record of 20' 10 . On January 17, Dean reset that record with a leap of 21 83 V Also taking a first in the season opener was Jimmie Wilson in the triple jump. In the 300 meters, freshman Tencie Ford took a third Junior Pat McGhan placed fourth in both the pole vault and in the 45-meter hurdles. Wendy Coleman and Sheila Wood took fifth place in the 45 and 300 meters respectively. Early in the season. Brian Fowler set a school record of 5' 10 with a high jump that placed him third overall in a meet. Competing against 29 of the top track and field teams on Jan. 3, the GHS boys finished eighth. The girls placed ninth behind Julie Arthur's second in the 40-meter hurdles and a second from the 880 relay team of Liz Wright, Coleman, Ford, and Wood. The meets also have a Varsity B or Modified competition. In that division, J.J. Woody had a first in the shot and Mike Grady a first in the high jump. Taking a first in the 4x4 lap relay was the team of Josh Olschewski, John Campbell. Allen Williams, and Paul Carson. Richie Felber had a second in the shot and Jennifer Brownell a second in the 600 meters. Indoor Track: Front — Kris Elliott, Karen Moose. Cindy Palmer, Pam Fenner. Wendy Coleman, Dion Crawley.

Latin and Spanish Clubs were back again with the objective of making language fun while learning something at the same time. Advised by Debora Robbins, the Latin Club began the year by electing officers. President Allison Principio was backed up by vice-president Jayson Post. Natalie Rivkin ran the treasury while Beth Plano held the position of secretary. The club planned an initiation for new members and a toga day to celebrate Latin ways. Bake sales and other fund raisers were held to help put on those events and to sponsor the annual pizza party at the end of the year. Madame Azizeh Baroody was the adviser of the French Club. This club, whose members try to speak French only at all meetings, was presided over by Debbie Herring. Other officers included Laura Neff, vice-president: Amy Clark, treasurer; and Betsy Costenbader. secretary. Activities that took place at meetings were varied. The club held bake sales to raise money and planned a Mardi Gras celebration and the yearly springtime picnic. To finish learning fun the year, the club sponsored awards given to the best French students in each grade level. Spanish Club s objective was to get the student body enthused about Spanish. Adviser Marien Canale said, I like to see that there is an interest among the students outside of the classroom. To be able to learn outside the classroom is just as important sometimes as class work. Officers Bob Doeblin, president: Debbie Guerrie, vice-president; Kristy Hag-adorn, treasurer; and secretary Julie Arthur all worked toward that goal. The club held four meetings, trying to have an organized program each time. A certain amount of time was set aside each meeting to discuss the language fair and language week, which were held in late spring. One goal the club had was to eat dinner at a Mexican restaurant, and a number of fundraisers were held to meet that goal. On some occasions the three clubs get together to share knowledge and to socialize. In mid-January an international dinner was prepared and served in the cafeteria. This activity showed that language can be fun. Lyndsey Brown French Club: Front — Laura Nett. Amy Clark, Betsy Costenbader, Deb Herring. Madame Baroody Row 2 — Trma Arinello, Kathianne Mirras.

Sean Legg ——— Council gets involved The Student Council here at Geneva High plays an important role in the daily life of the school. Sixty-two students were members this year and were led by president Lester Bailey and adviser Donald Ninestine. Mr Ninestine has advised the council for four years. He said. I enjoy working with students outside the classroom in social activities and helping them work on the processes of government. During Student Council meetings, the members all discuss and vote on issues that concern the student body, administration, and President of the Student Council Lester Bailey gave his support to the first school dance the community. They plan Homecoming events and the Blood Drive and donate funds for the Hobart-William Smith scholarships. Bailey feels that the student body benefits from Student Council because it serves as a link between administration and students. He ran for the office of president because he wanted people to recognize him. He commented, I had nothing to lose and everything to gain! He has discovered that the job is not as easy as he had thought it would be. — Reported by Kris Saglimbeni. written by Arden Acquilano. Student Council 123 Saga, Pride, serve as records of the school year Gee, I know that kid. I see him every B Day fifth period ... but I don t know his name! What happened to the honor society picture? Who remembers the gutter equation? The questions flew fast and furious 6BCD as Arden Acquilano. Jean Cass. Chris Jackson. Lisa Pemberton, and Chris Spear edited the 1987 edition of the yearbook. The editors were responsible not only for designing all pages in the book but also for deciding on graphics, editing and fitting copy, and writing captions. And. they had to keep within a strict budget Because a change in publishers meant new financial guidelines, the editors had to meet deadlines under a financial penalty clause for missing any part of the shipment. To avoid that sword of Damocles from falling and chopping off the money they had set aside for the supplement, they worked before and after school and during study halls in addition to class time. Staff members from all four classes worked on ads. photo identifying, interviewing and writing copy, proofing and setting up portrait panels. Student photographers shot over 30 rolls of film while senior portraits, teams and clubs were taken by GHS graduate Neil Sjoblom. After having missed a year of competition because no 1986 books were available for judging, the 1987 Seneca Saga will be entered in competition with high school yearbooks from all over the country. Back on track after an absence of a year, the Panther's Pride started publishing once again in October of 1986 A team-taught Journalism course provided editing talent for the paper Stories were contributed by students who were members of the extra-curricular staff. Advised by Tech Ed Department chairperson Bill Mulvey and English teacher Mary Lou Strawway, the Panther s Pride is unique among area school papers. It is published entirely at Geneva High School by students enrolled in the Graphic Communications Program. The editors prepare copy on an Apple Macintosh LaserWriter Desktop Publishing System. The copy is then run on an off sent printing system in the communications lab Though they are published at different times of the year, the basic aim of the yearbook and the paper are the same — to offer experience in publishing to GHS students and to record the accomplishments of the student body at the school. 124 Publications Yearbook sales were held on four days during October Manning the subscription desk were yearbook staffers who were responsible for recording On the Friday in June when the three lower classes names, keeping track of the type of payments, and. get their book, students gather in the lounge for a for balancing the money' marathon signing session Yearbook Staff: Front — Sarah Decker.

The milestone of reaching age 100 is a much celebrated event, and the birthday of the Statue of Liberty was no exception. As many as six million were on hand for the Fourth of July celebration of the centennial. In two years, 75 millions dollars were spent on refurbishing the Statue of Liberty. There was also much to protest this year. For 9 months, 400 ordinary citizens participated in a march from Los Angeles to | Washington, D C. called the Great Peace March for Global Disarmament. The questions of apartheid in South Africa was controversial, sparking many campus-based demonstrations. Yet one of the biggest protestable problems was the AIDS scare. With the realization that AIDS is not simply a disease common to certian types of people, there sprang up an almost epidemic concern. Another scare rocked the globe when the Soviet nuclear reactor in Chernobyl exploded. Radiation damage was said to have spread to Italy. Britain, and even to parts of the U.S.A. A new awareness was brought to light along with an unanswered question: How much do we really know about the safety of nuclear energy? Politically, the year was a hot one. Hostages were in the news all year long. On July 26. 1986. David Jacobsen was released The negotiating of Church of England envoy Terry Waite was a key factor in later releases such as that of Father Laurence Martin Jenco of Illinois who was released from his 564 days of captivity in Beirut. Early in 1987, Waite dropped out of sight, arousing great concern. On the international front, journalist Nicholas Daniloff, convicted of spy charges, was released by the Soviet Union. World leaders Reagan and Gorbachev met for arms talks which led to many unresolved issues. Reagan, despite public and congressional pressure, held firm on SDI, though his staff was compromised on issues of foreign policy. In early 1987, Washington and the world were agog over the Nicaragua-Contra scandal. Eugene Hasenfus. a self-proclaimed soldier of fortune, was shot down while flying arms to Contra bases. Then the Iran-Contras affair surfaced. The Tower Commission investigated the connection between arms sold to the Ayatollah and the monies received which had allegedly been tunneled to the Contras. Names people will always remember in connection include North. McFarlane, and Poindexter. At the capital, Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill retired after 34 years, William Rehnquist was sworn in as the 16th Chief i Justice, and Donald Regan was fired as Chief of Staff. In New York State. Governor Mario Cuomo decided not to be a candidate for the 1988 Presidential race. In the field of entertainment. Platoon was a realistic Vietnam film that was nominated for eight Oscars. Two of the top grossing motion pictures starred Tom Cruise. Top Gun, in | which Cruise played a Navy pilot, was j propelled into the year's No. 1 spot. He also was a cocky pool hustler in The Color of Money. It was also a year of sequels that made out stomachs churn. Freddy Krueger, a deformed madman, returned to Elm Street in A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors. In Aliens, the year’s sci-fi shootout Sigourney Weaver led a group of Marines against 14-foot mucous-dripping monster. Going from large screen to small screen, television had a good year The Cosby Show remained No. 1. New shows such as Alf, My Sister Sam, and Matlock had good ratings. One disappointment was the 14’ 2 hour miniseries Amerika, which depicted life in the U.S. 10 years after a Soviet take-over. 148 Year in Review □ Audiences dropped off after the first episode. Many veteran singers captured Grammys this year Dionne Warwick won a Grammy j for the song That's What Friends Are For, which raised $750,000 for AIDS research and also was song of the year Barbara Streisand and Steve Winwood were honored as pop vocalists of the year. This was the year for the New York Mets, who won the World Series title by beating the Boston Red Sox in the seventh game of the series. Another team from New York, the Giants, went on to capture the Super Bowl championship defeating the Denver Broncos. Greg LeMond became the first American to win the Tour de France bicycle race. In England, the Wimbledon tennis tournaments were won by Martina Navratilova and Boris Becker. In February, Dennis Conner sailed the Stars and Stripes to four straight victories over the Aussies to regain the America's Cup. The drug-related deaths of athletes Len Bias and Don Rogers made headlines and sparked a new demand for drug-testing of athletes. Streaking hair with rainbow mousses, clip-on bows, and banana clips were the big rage in hair this year. For men, long hair and earrings were in. Pulling on Jams and macrameing friendship bracelets were popular among teens. Diamond-shaped cautionary messages such as BABY ON BOARD were stuck onto car windows. Kodak released a new camera called the Fling,'' a disposable one for $7.00 . Pizza Hut came out with wheat crust pizza while Wendy's got into the Mexican scene by presenting a taco salad. A new pop, JOLT, was supposed to get you into a more energetic mood. A big summer splash was the Fuzzy Navel which is a mixture of Peach Schnapps and orange juice. Cable TV shopping, which came out in the winter of 1987, allowed you to shop at home. The final Job of the Concert Band each school year is to provide music for graduation Along with performing a few pieces as friends and relatives assemble, the band is also responsible for the playing of Pomp and Circumstance as the graduates process. 150 Closing -� 1 t- 1 1 OB s Once life at GHS is over, students will be going out into the “real world. “ What they have been exposed to during the last four years will be taken with them as they become players on the larger stage. As George Bernard Shaw put it,” . . . whatever they see done in show on the stage, they will presently be doing in earnest in the world, which is but a larger stage.” Chris Spear In a preview of graduation night, freshmen Catherine White and Dominick Massa assist Chns Elder and Kris Elliott as they familianze themselves with the ms and outs of caps and gowns. Something new this year was a senior dinner in the GHS cafeteria. The meal was prepared by the cafetena staff and the special dessert (left) was made and decorated by senior Chris Crosier's mom. All seniors, including Andy Clark (far left). Brian Choffin, Paul Miller, and Jeff Ferren were invited to celebrate the half-way point of their senior year.
