JANUARY 9 - We took over Easthampton in our first league bas- ketball game. JANUARY 16 - Riverheaders participated in the Eleventh Annual American Legion Oratorical Contest. Of the ive who competed, Jane Meyers placed first, Nancy Backora, second and Sheldon Katz, third. Mr. J. Wilson Stout made the awards to the winners and expressed his gratitude to the others who did not place. The evening of January sixteenth brought the near defeat of the Blue Wave in a 30 to 28 game on Westhampton's basketball court. Because We came from behind to win, the game became all the more exciting. The conclusion found us weary but happy. JANUARY 20 - The Eastern Suffolk American Legion Oratorical Contest, held in Riverhead was won by Jane Meyers, Beth Harrer of Greenport placed second, and Alice Beck of Center Moriches, third. JANUARY 22-29 - Exams! The week began with social studies in the morning followed by English the next afternoon. Brains sure were wracked Cor wreckedl. Enough said! Let us forget!
