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.
