Yes, dear, that is really I, but that was printed a long time ago when grandpa and I were still young. Let's see now . . . We couldn't have been more than seven- teen or eighteen. Oh, grandma! That's not young; that's old! What funny clothes. And look at that! What's that grandma? That's an automobile. We used to drive around in them all the time. We had the grandest times. Look here! That's our football team . . . We won the pennant that year . . . And here are the teachers: chemistry, English, home economics, algebra .. . Here's the school and over there are the underclassmen. Don't he fresh- men look small? My how time flies! You know, dear, this little dog-eared book is one of the few things left of those wonderful years in high school. Unfortunately, there's no way for me to relive them except in memory. This is one of memory's tools. We had this one. Now can you see why we think so much of it? When we were publishing it, we hoped it would serve as such. M, now (eel(j men j One day we. Forty and Six, fell to reflecting about all the influences that have molded our lives. And it is well that we did this, for we have long enough thoughtlessly and matter-of- factly accepted the sacrifices of time, patience and experience of the many who have so willingly given us their all. So it is to these we dedicate our story: To our churches, their leaders and their members, who have taught and inspired us, To our parents who are so much to us, To our brothers and sisters who have shared our love and devotion, our sorrows and our squabbles. To our teachers who, from kindergarten through the last year of high school, have interested us in our work and en- couraged us to our best efforts. To our principals who have understood our mischievous moods, To doctors and nurses who have brought us comfort and health. To Mac, the corner cop, who remembered all our names and who was never too busy to say, Hello,'' To the building custodians who were ever present when the inevitable bottle of ink splashed on desk and floors. To the office workers, those unsung heroes, who diligently filled out permanent recoids, applications, schedules and reports—and yes, typed and mimeographed midyear tests and final examinations, To those Boards of Education, the results of whose vision are evidenced in our beautiful school. To our classmates and schoolmates whose friendships have gladdened our way. To all of you who have influenced us and become a part of us, we give our thanks.

This class wasn't the best little freshman class there had been; it chewed gum, ran and made noise in the halls and otherwise plagued the teachers, but everyone hoped that it would grow up to be a fine senior group. Now in the class there were two people, a girl named Forty and a boy named Six. They, we think, were typical of that class. For instance, on the first day. Forty became hopelessly lost. There she was, caught in the rush between second and third period. She knew where she was supposed to go—Social Studies in 211—but with millions of people rushing past and all the noise and confusion, how could she possibly beat the bell? At 10:20 someone sneaked noisily into Miss Remsen's class very much noticed. It was only Forty, five minutes late. But Six found a little excitement, too. After we had been in school a while, a few playful upperclassmen went on a spree. Initiations! (That word strikes terror into the hearts of the neo- phytes.) Six was chosen to be the guinea pig in the experiment, What the Well Dressed Woman Should Base Her Wardrobe On? Result: Eyes bulging and gasping for breath. Six walked down the Freshman Halls in a beautiful pink girdle. Conclusion: No conclusion . . . just the question how in the world did he get into it, and how did he get out? Christmas vacation came and went with its usual last minute rush, chapel programs, presents, and over-stuffed tummies. When we came back, there was a big surprise waiting for us. Miss Baumgardt had broken her ankle skiing and was hobbling around on crutches, very much handicapped. Now, thought we, we can get away with murder. Experience is a great teacher. At any sign of noise, Miss Baumgardt would grip her trusty crutch, aim, and touche she'd have us right where she wanted us. The big event of the year for us was the Freshman Party. It started off with a bang! The girls sat on one side of the gym, and the boys on the other. To cross the Noman's Land over to the other side was too much for even the bravest lad. But after much prodding by the chaperones, someone started musical chairs and the next thing we knew we were having a grand time. Everyone signed the Class of 46 emblem which has been kept for three years. We were even honored by having a few upper classmen try to crash the party. June exams, report cards and summer vacation came and went, but in September we appeared at school, All grow'd up. We knew our way around; we were worldly, sophisticated, non- chalant; we were Sophomores! Like many Sophomores before us we elected officers. Harold Hansen nominated for the second time won the presidency. Connie McKay served again as Secretary. Willie Grodski and Jimmy Hagen were Vice-president and Treasurer respectively. But let us get back to Forty and Six. Like other upperclassmen they looked down on the lowly frosh, never quite understanding how they could be so-o dumb. Six was in a complete fog in geometry. He couldn't see why a line couldn't do two things at once. As for Forty, she was secretly disappointed that she wasn't squeamish in biology. Not even one nice dramatic fainting spell. The Soph Hop arrived with one prize brainstorm that we mustn't fail to mention. We intended to shower everyone present with a rain of gayly colored confetti. This confetti was placed in a pail above the people's heads. At the scheduled moment the pail was tipped. The confetti poured down in one steady stream to the floor directly below. The effect wasn't quite as planned, but everyone agreed it was beautiful. Forty and a friend have just cause to remember the Soph Hop. They had been licking and sticking everything in sight until their tongues were heavily coated with the most horrible tasting stickum which they tasted weeks and weeks. Then came the time that Forty and Six had been waiting for. Take 7’ 2 points, a slip from the office, and a $3 deposit and what have you? You've guessed it—Junior rings. On the wings of our Junior rings we pass over the remaining interim between our younger days as frosh and the more glamorous junior year. But truthfully no one could say we were examples of perfect deportment. Forty would often go wolfing in the halls with the other girls. But not quiet, well-mannered little Six. He and the gang got into no mischief whatsoever. Of course, no one ever did find out how that bottle of ink managed to get up on the shade in Miss Doyle's homeroom. Funny how things like that just happen. (continued on page 20) GhWs L.

(Continued) This was the year we made recordings ol some of the one act plays we studied in class. Forty and c couple of other girls took Medicine Show by Stuart Walker. Of course, all the charac- ters were men; that was a minor obstacle, but it took some plain and fancy practicing to make a jug part full of water sound like a steam boat whistle. Six and some fellows did a good job in Lord Dunsany's A Night at an Inn. Our Junior Prom was born in much the same manner as the Greek theory of the formation of the world. It emerged from Chaos. At first, things went along smoothly; our theme Mexi- can Fiesta was chosen. Ah, but the day before ... we lacked two female figures, souvenirs, crepe paper, and recruits to help decorate. Under the direction of Mr. Lawrence, Six and the boys put up the crepe paper and figurines, while the girls with Forty, flew about making souvenirs and doing odd jobs that came up. The evening came cold, calm and crisp; and everyone present had a fine time. Net gain—a loss of $20. We came through moving-up chapel and June exams com- paratively unscathed. Although there was no actual fanfare to greet us on our first day as seniors, everyone seemed buoyed up by a secret fanfare of his own, and Hi senior! became the phrase of the day. One of our first acts as a senior class was the election of officers. Bill Stark was given the coveted role of president; Harold Hansen, that of vice-president. Joan Sowinski became secretary and Arthur Kukla was to handle the money, rather the lack of it. Still bowed down by our debt, Arthur Kukla recruited some girls to form a Hot Dog Squad at football games. These brave girls stood over a hot stove on sweltering Saturday afternoons, strained with loads of coke and struggled with grade school arithmetic while trying to count change. Only one mystery was encountered and that was never solved. What ever became of that well-seasoned and salted hot dog the girls prepared? As an aside, Forty can't stand hot dogs or mustard anymore. Boosted by a profit of $120 from the Hot Dog Squad, the class' spirit began to rise. The membership of our Honor Society was trebled and Shirley Warner won the oratorical contest. Things were beginning to shape up. Just before Christmas vacation, the staff began to grow des- perate for want of something to put in the class history. So the senior girls obligingly wore scarves and sun-glasses to school. Miss Blue became mildly worried. If you girls have pink eye, you'd better tell me. I'm supposed to send you home if you do, you know. Unfortunately—or fortunately—they didn't. With the pain of January exams behind, our sentimental Forty became aware of certain things she'd always taken for granted: the noise in the halls, the wolves in the locker rooms, the sound of the bell, so like a young calf with a cold in its nose, the keen flash of spit balls in study halls and the kindly loving manner in which teachers piled on homework. Teachers became in- dividuals instead of beings who tried to plague us with home- work. Even realistic Six found his thoughts and conversation turning back to his younger days. Behind us are three and a half years of fun, work, puppy love, financial crises and mem- ories. Before us are the senior play, class nite, commencement exercises, and life. On this pensive note we leave our little freshman class, now a grown-up senior class. May Forty become another Florence Nightingale, may Six build a bridge across the Atlantic and may they all live happily ever after! The 1945 football season opened with only three regulars from the Blue Wave 11 back from the previous year. Good sound coaching by Charles Chuck Lawrence developed a strong, hard fighting team that conquered the Eastern Suffolk County Football Championship. The team opened the season with a 19—7 defeat by a gallant Greenport team. William Barnes scored the lone Riverhead touchdown. A hard hitting Seton Hall team bowed to the Riverheaders 7—6. The Blue Wave forward wall played an excellent game, led by Eastwood and Hansen, with Hillie Booker scoring. Westhampton was defeated 19—7 by the Blue Wave 11. John Kulesa led the attack, scoring two touchdowns and passing one to William Grodski. The Riverhead second team having started the game, a weak Sag Harbor team was trounced 19—0. The entire Blue Wave squad saw action. Thus we have a glimpse of the Blue Wave of the future. Revenge was in the hearts of the team when they once again faced Greenport. Captain Franny Stawski scored once and threw two touchdown passes to Eddie Hattrick and Hillie Booker. With victory in sight Atomic Booker crashed across the remaining touchdown as the Blue Wave outfit outclassed the Orange and Black and won 26—13. The traditional game with Southampton was here. Both teams having been defeated but once, the championship was at stake. After a gruelling game, the Blue Wave was victorious by a 14—6 score. Supporting the scoring of Booker and Hattrick, the entire Blue Wave 11 played excellent ball. Teamwork and coaching led the Riverhead squad to its first championship in four years. Football is over . . . But then again there's next year. a eerfeach er3 With an R, and an I, and a VERHEAD, our cheerleaders spelled in no uncer- tain terms the name that was to win. Running neck and neck in popularity with our old Strawberry Shortcake was the new Huba Huba cheer. Down in center front you'd find Pat Robertson, flanked on either side by Irene Sidor, Barbara Malcolm and Nancy Backora. Supported by Miss Carey these girls have led the rooters of R. H. S. through the victorious football season and the many tense basketball games. Our hats off to this truly all-round bunch of girls. Sure enough! There we were every Monday and Wednesday, the whole twenty of us, running up and down the field. Under the coaching of Miss Carey our team was whipped in shape for our big game against South- ampton. The outcome of this game we will overlook, but I assure you we had a swell time trying. Vfear (Book Staff Little did we know what hurdles were ahead when we volunteered to edit the 1946 Blue Peconic. Bursting with enthusiasm we made ambitious plans for the early completion of our dummy. The harried staff consisted of: Editor-in-Chief - JEANETTE KLIMAJESKI Business Manager — WILLIAM STARK Literary Editor — MARGARET BELL Senior Editors - BETTY KELLY, ARTHUR KUKLA Activities Editors - BARBARA McKENNEY, NANCY LEE Art Editors - JOAN REGENT, WALTER BEHRLE Sports Editors - MARILYN CRANE, FRANCIS STAWSKI Typists - DOROTHY JANICHEN, THERESA DOROSKI Junior Representative — STANLEY LEAVITT Without Miss Hand's inspiring aid, our accomplishment of producing a suc- cessful yearbook could not have been achieved. But now at long last, here it is! The Student Council has carried out effectively a full-time program. Its main enterprises were: organizing the student receptionists, editing the school hand- book, and conducting the infantile paralysis March of Dimes drive. 1945-46 is the third year our school has honored students who excel in the qualities of Character, scholarship, leadership, and service. The members have carried out a program of posting scholarships, enforcing Senior privileges, and being helpful in other school activities. Its members include: Barbara McKenney — President Jeanette Klimajeski Marilyn Crane — Vice President Betty Kelly Joan Sowinski — Secretary-Treasurer Margaret Bell rtLic Pouring in from all sides, a deluge of students flooded the halls and over- flowed the town. Although Mr. Cornelius Gall, chairman of the event, had made infinite plans concerning housing and rehearsals, the Student Council and Honor Society members, the Faculty and many of us zealous students worked far into the night directing the students to their destinations. The afternoon of the first eventful day brought with it the first rehearsal of each of the three musical groups. The band, orchestra, and glee club were under the experienced leadership of Dominic Savino, Olaf Winningstad, and Leonard Stein, respectively. These directors worked diligently, inspiring their groups to interpret the correct rhythm of the music and bring out the feeling and expres- sion of the words and notes. That Friday evening there was just about time enough for a bite to eat, and then-back to work. All left these rehearsals in an optimistic mood, because many had profited by the two previous hours' work and because we were in happy anticipation of the forth-coming sociability. Immediately following this rehearsal, a dance was held in the school gym- nasium. Music was provided by Bill King's Orchestra. All of us were curious to see who would be there—and therefore made an effort not to be absent. Then, having exhausted most of our energy, we were ready to trudge wearily to our homes and foster homes. The next morning, a rather dismal, cold Saturday-most of the students arose after a fairly sleepless night. Arriving at the rehearsals with cob-webs in brains and music in hearts, the young musicians started in. Although 9:00 a.m. was scheduled for the back-to-work hour, punctuality was the exception rather than the rule. At this rehearsal, the leaders worked primarily to interpret the niceties of the compositions, since the broad understanding had been grasped the afternoon and night before. Miss Helen Nepp, Supervisor of Vocal Music at Riverhead, accompanied the Glee Club. 2V All participants were given a period of two hours for lunch and relaxation. Promptly at two o'clock the All-State Concert Band began its dress rehearsal, then followed the Glee Club, and lastly the Orchestra. The other members were free to do as they wished, but many desired to sit in the auditorium, since this was the only opportunity for members of one group to hear the other two groups. With the final rehearsals, group pictures were taken. At last the long-awaited evening arrived. Confusion reigned for a short while before the concert. There were final attacks of jitters, but on stage we reaped the full climax of our inspiration and our training. Our lime Rodousakis was chosen to be Concert Mistress, an outstanding honor for Riverhead. She carried out her duties graciously and efficiently. We were proud of her. If you should happen in the auditorium during a sixth period, you would hear music ranging from a concert C scale to a symphonetta. Mr. Gall's capable direction lends inspiration while the small group of en- thusiastics practice diligently. The performances this season have included chapel programs, graduation exercises and a pageant presented at a teacher's conference. Much time was spent in preparing for the All-State Concert. Outstanding, too, was the orchestra section of our Riverhead Annual Spring Festival. Marching along together, the Band played publicly the first week of school. With little time to organize, they entered the parade preceding the Fireman's Bazaar. Soon home football games were enlivened by the cheery breeziness of their music; and cheerleaders, baton twirlers and enthusiastic R. H. S. crowds backed their enthusiasm. The year brought practice, chapel programs, the Spring Festival and, for some, the All-State Concert. Mid-year time the band experi- enced a paradox ; it was sorry to say good-bye to Mr. Gall, but glad to welcome Mr. Hovey. May, me, mi, mo, moo, and on up the scale go the song- birds. This and songs of a more serious nature issue bi-weekly from the auditorium during the sixth period. Giving a few per- formances for the high school and later preparing for the annual Music Festival in May make ours a full program. Under Miss Nepp's leadership, the period is one of true pleasure. We love to sing. LIBRARY CLUB The Library Club members help Miss Pinkham alphabetize the books, advertise all new books, file cards in the card catalog and shelve returned books. Beyond their usual line of work, they gave a novel assembly program of charades illustrating titles of books. MODERN DANCE Have you heard the Modern Danc- ers consoling one another about their aching muscles? They are the most zealous group of any of the gymnas- tic classes. In barefeet and shorts they bend, turn and struggle, trying vali- antly to achieve an esthetic effect. There is, however, a note of triumph in their after class groans, for the majority will have mastered a new flip. How do they do it? BATON TWIRLERS We are proud to have these smart- ly dressed girls leading our band at the football games and other school activities.

The season opened with a 35—15 victory over Shelter Island. Next came Sag Harbor, beaten by a score of 41—23. Against Center Moriches the Blue Wave was once more victorious to a tune of 37—18. Pitted against Greenport, Riverhead lost a tough game, but the score was protested, for the timers disagreed. In a replay Riverhead won its revenge by scoring 24 to the opponent's 22. Hampton Bays and Eastport fell to the Blue Wave by scores of 36—28 and 38—23. With the Riverhead team crippled by ineligibilities, Matti- cuck conquered the Blue Wave 36—32. The following week the Blue Wave bounced back and smothered Westhampton 43—21. Traveling to Southampton, the Riverheaders were trounced 48—29 by Coach Smith's team. Our Co-captain, William Grodski, having scored 26 points, Easthampton bowed to Riverhead 63—40, to be followed next by Southold who was whipped by a 42—36 score. Once again Westhampton bowed to the sharp shooting Blue Wave 43—29. Visiting Greenport, the Riverhead High School Quintet, lost 46—28, but later conquered Bridgehampton 37—26. A well earned victory of 32—30 over Southampton gave River- head a tie for first place in the Class A League. The Riverhead High School Quintet won this game for Co-captain William Richards, whose illness after the first four games forced him to retire from the squad. Then Easthampton bowed to the fast breaking Riverheaders 37—23 and Riverhead remained tied with Southampton for first place. Lastly, Riverhead and Southampton clashed at Westhampton for the Class A Championship. With Grodski, R. Palmer, Staw- ski, Hagen and J. Richards making up the first five and W. Palmer, Gee, Underwood, Meyers, able substitutes, the exciting tilt was begun. In the first half the game went well for us; in the second, Southampton shot ahead and won 20—18, a hard earned victory for the Smithmen. Thus ends the basketball season, which could have been as successful as it was only because of good coaching and excel- lent teamwork. Basketball is our ever popular sport, representing a general smattering of all the classes from freshman to senior. The expected large group signed up again this year. At the first meeting captains were elected. Upperclassmen soon showed the freshmen and sophomores 'the ropes', and everything went along smoothly under the direction of Jane Meyjes, Manager. Always willing to oblige, this crew of movie operators truly serve the rest of us. Thanks, fellows, for keeping the reels turning so that we can widen the horizons of our knowledge. And thanks to you, too, Mr. Brown, for obtaining these enjoyable and educational films for us. This year fighting across the net was Jean Hallock's team and Dorothy Jack- son's team. The games were close, but Hallock's team was victorious—winning four games to Jackson's three and tying one. Interclass started soon after inter- murals were finished. Maybe you've seen some of the seniors turn red when interclass volleyball is mentioned. Yes, the freshmen tied the seniors. Photo ijrajihiA CU Working with an assortment of odd-shaped paraphenalia, these fellows print and enlarge negatives. Mr. Brown has guided them in the efficient use of their equipment so that their work is above the average. How? When? Where? What? Read all about it in their modernized Blue and White! Better than ever before the paper, printed in the office of the County Review, reflects the capable staff and able leadership. This monthly journal is our leading source of school news. Are you going steady? What is your life history? How about the last game? Read the Blue and White and be in the know. 2), Tama tic The Dramatic Club and the Speech Class work in close co-operation. Our first production of the year was a joint assembly program of the two groups. The costume play, some of whose characters you see on this page, was a project of the speech class. At the same assembly Miss Doyle gave us some interesting pointers on the art of make-up which the club had been studying. Night Club, a student directed one act play, followed. Silent Night heralded the Christmas season. As our book goes to press, we are looking forward to the club's major production of the year, Letters from Lucerne. That certainly was some crew out for softball. Our first few games were mere practice sessions, but later we settled down to true work. Ears are still ringing with the howls and cheers of our followers; and, after all, the 65 (or was it 80) of us were not particularly silent. Wham! Oh, there goes the ball outside. You go chase it. I'm worn out trying to perfect this backhand, but I don’t know anything that is more fun. What did you say? Oh, of course we can beat the fellas. No question about it. ; mm- m Unexpected sidelines of the arch- ery season were the good hearty laughs of our hardened veterans. Freshmen do make amusing errors! Cold weather shortened our fall season, but spring will come. OUR COACHES Andy Bongiorno Jerry Johnson Nick Mattola This year, for the first time in four years, intramural wrestling was again organized in R. H. S. Our coaches Johnson, Mattola, and Bongiono taught the fundamentals of wrestling in gym classes. 45 entries necessitated 28 bouts sched- uled on three successive nights. On the last night, the finals were run off. The individual class winners were as follows: 102 lb. class — A. Breitenback 125 lb. class — R. Terry 130 lb. class — G. Nelson 137 lb. class — J. Luce 140 lb. class — J. Love 145 lb. class — H. Mason 152 lb. class — H. Young 162 lb. class — D. Popish 167 lb. class — H. Booker Heavyweight-E. Lewin Coach Mattola referreed all the bouts, with Coaches Johnson and Bongiorno acting as timekeepers. Some of the boys who helped make intramural wrestling a success were William Grodski who acted as timekeeper with Robert Palmer, Harry Kratoville as scorer and a number of ever efficient water boys. We look forward to seeing next year's varsity squad, which indicates great possibilities. Come on-n-n-n. Blue! Come on-n-n-n, White! Come, all, to Sports Nite!” BLUE TEAM Marilyn Crane, Captain Peggy Bell, Co-Captain Emblem — The Mouse First the poster contest was on. Mrs. Spahner and Miss Bruno were suddenly swamped with requests for poster paper, glue, paste, pen, ink, paper, paint, rulers, pins, erasers and what-not. Next captains began to collect cheers and songs, to choose cheerleaders and emblems, to determine entrance marches and ball teams, and to undertake the •million other activities which make a gala Sports Nite. Then came the night itself—another pleasant chapter in the book of good sportsmanship be- tween the girls of R. H. S.

Having served three and one half years in the United States Navy, Coach Nick” Mattola was back to take over the coaching of the team. The team presents a scrappy lineup, eleven players returning from last year’s campaign. Pacing the squad are Grodski, Stawski, Booker, Underwood, Barnes, Zaweski, Daniels, Lewin, Meyers, Mott and Popish. As our year book goes to press, eight league games have been scheduled but none have yet been played. The schedule for the games is as follows: Friday, April 26 - Mattituck at Riverhead Monday, April 29 - Riverhead at Southold Monday, May 6 — Greenport at Riverhead Friday, May 10 — Riverhead at Shelter Island Monday, May 13 — Riverhead at Mattituck Friday, May 17 — Southold at Riverhead Friday, May 24 — Riverhead at Greenport Friday, May 27 — Shelter Island at Riverhead Monday, June 3 - North Shore Winners vs. South Shore Winners The team is hard fighting. We are looking forward to a good season. I JracL The 1946 track season opened with time devoted to the conditioning of the bodies of the men. Coach Jerry S. Johnson, having served four years in the armed services, is again at the helm. The team is being readily whipped into shape. The season's schedule now stands with the Long Island Relays to be held at Hofstra; the East End Meet, at Westhampton; and the Stony Brook meet, at Riverhead. Both the County Meet and the Long Island Meet will be held at Riverhead. Among the many veterans returning to do their part are Robert Palmer, the miler and Frank Ruszkowski, the shot and disc artist. It is expected that these boys will be competing in their events at the above meets this year. Mile — Robert Palmer and Ethan Miller 880 yard run — Eugene Nelson 440 yard run — Bill Stark and Thomas Severdija Hurdles — Donald Schweimler and Purdy LaFerriere Sprints — William Barnes, Hildreth Booker, Joseph Daniels and Carl Mohns High Jump — Frank Harris Shot Put and Discus — Frank Ruszkowski The Blue Wave Track team is showing excellent fighting spirit. This year saw the addition of a new club to our list of extra-curricular activi- ties. Meeting every other Friday during their Latin period, the students have had fun and recreation learning something about Rome before the Fall. Their activities include: singing, crossword puzzles, games and speeches-all in Latin. Under the direction of Mr. Diamond the group presented an original chapel program replete with sound effects, ghosts and queerly bedecked characters. ? • —senior J onord HENRIETTA SALADON HELEN MARTZ JOAN SOWINSKI JEANETTE KLIMAJESKI MARGARET C.
