SPEAKING OF - OUR SENIOR YEAR- Published by the CLASS OF 1951 is Riverhead High School fx Riverhead, New York Sfieafiinq oj Jtiss Btown. I don’t see how she does it all and keeps us quiet at the same time.” Who does what, Barbara?’ Miss Brown, of course. How does she get all her work done and yet always be so ready to help us, too? That’s really an awful big job, don’t you think?” I hadn’t given it much thought, but now that you mention it, that is an enormous responsibility, isn’t it? She does so much; I can’t even enumerate all of it, Barbara.” Well, she directs the Library Club and does an excellent job in training its 18 members, and she helps anyone who is having any difficulty. I should say, I guess, that she helps just about everyone.” Don’t forget all the books she signs out. Last year there were 21,987!” She deserves a lot of credit. I can’t think of anyone else who does more than she. She’s so quiet and efficient that you don’t even realize all the work she’s doing.” 4 SPEWING OF BOARD OF EDUCATION—Dr. Francis E.

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL Alice, school is here again and will this year be different! Different, Betty Ann? We'll still have homework, and we'll still have fun, won't we? I don't see that it will be so different—except that now we're Seniors.” Goodness, that makes all the difference in the world, Alice. This year we've got to set an example to all the other kids and really work for our school. I guess you're right. I just hope we can make R.H.S. proud of the Class of ’51. AFTER SCHOOL HAS STARTED What happened to your foot, Mary? Someone's hockey stick gave it a 'gentle little knock.’ Yikes! I can hardly walk. Well, for all the cries of 'sticks and abstractions' I still think there's no sport like hockey. I agree with you, Betsy. Hockey is a great sport, but I wish it would be just a little easier on my feet. Maybe a padded stick or something—then I wouldn't be crippled for life! VISIT TO THE U.N. SENIOR PICTURES 0?? ??? Do you remember, Lizzie, when we sneaked in the back of 0. 1 ' the U.N. building at noon and watched all the delegates return- ing from lunch? We saw that big W, black limousine coming in and all of us made like we were hitch rVrr'i hiking. Golly, I almost died w'hen 1 saw that Russian flag on the aerial. That was fun, Eugenia, but I do think that Dean we go again. Acheson is nice looking for a man of his age! He's not really old, and just because he waved to us, don't go getting silly ideas. I still think he was cute. 1 think that the funniest thing of all was Miss Blue’s scouting for the five missing kids and coming back with eight!” What kind of math is that? Come on, Eddie, I want to see how my pictures came out. Hurry up before everyone else crowds into 209. What—too late? Doug, here's yours on top. Let's wiggle out of this mob and glimpse at the 'masterpiece'.” Hey, what's coming off here? I'm not a girl. Oh, a mistake! These are Irma's pictures. Back MAGAZINE CAMPAIGN HALLOWE'EN Hey, Tootsie, how did you make out with your mazagine subscriptions? Sold many? Well, Ruth, one thing I did do was go to the same house twice—once to the front door and then to the back. The same lady answered, so I left.” Maureen sold a man $20 worth and then he found out that he had no money.” Goodness, even with those few mishaps, we sold a lot, didn't we? We haven't much time left to finish our decorations for the Hallowe'en Dance. Who's going to make us some bats. Ermon, you're a good artist. Okay, Barbara, where’s the paper? Never mind, I see it. Thanks a lot, Ermon . . . Er- mon Greene! How in goodness’ name are we going to have base- ball bats flying around a church steeple? Junio is afie imjutttant.

Mr. Beaver, our candid ace Placing, measuring and pasting pictures A reminder of deadlines Now, let's see what we can accomplish today. Shirley might dictate the answer to Mr. McGuire so that Marion can type it up before the period is over. Donna, you go to the Frosh homerooms to get the officers’ names. Sylvia, Norman, and Juliana, here are the senior proofs. Betsy, be sure to see that the sports schedule has been put on the attendance slip. Diane, Betty Ann and Alice think a sketch of Caesar will go well on the Latin page. I’m afraid, Betty, you’ll have to limit the size of the faculty pictures. Eugenie’s consulting with Mr. Beaver about candids.

Those of us in dramatics know that in all probability Miss Hale is saying, I want you never to forget that you are not to turn your back to the audience. Always present your speeches so that they are audible in the back of the auditorium. Never sound your vowels through your nose. Speak plainly and enunciate clearly. Pay attention at all times. Please, try to avoid making a Greek tragedy into an American comedy.

Jeepers, Eugenie, how are we supposed to know that? What letter does it begin with?” It s B, Janice. You should know it now. Oh! No—that’s not the one that I was thinking of! C’est domage!” Oh, Mr. Stevens, you’re always saying that. It’s not fair. All right, 111 stop. What’s the new question? What three countries border France on the east? I give up, don't you, Diane?” Yes, let's see if Mr. Stevens knows.” [Jemjius juqii machina sjiati maqist ii f lae gemmae. Today, let’s have some fun! As you know, were going to play Guess the Title.’ Now each of you take a board and let's see if you can do as well as Sally and Gail did. Theirs is this one here. It won the prize last period. Can anyone guess it?” That looks like Caesar in the middle.” Oh! It couldn’t be Caesar. He’s a Roman, but the title of the picture is Friends, Roman, Countrymen, lend me your ears.' Get it now?

Come on, R.H.S.; you can do it!” Remember, Miss Kuhl said to Betsy, who began to write up the sports for the Yearbook, In 1950 enough baseball addicts came out after school to make eight teams, even though only a few are represented here. Since each team played every team, some nights as many as four games were being run off simultaneously. The total number of games played was well over fifty. The teams were captained by the follow- ing: Marilyn Backora, Audrey Tuthill, Joan Magee, Lorraine Troyan, Joan Adamczeski, Doris Johnson, Betty Papish, and Barbara Troyan.

Coaches Knapp and Stewart Reconciliation to this heart-breaker came when the rampaging Blue Waves blasted Seton Hall 65-19- The game was definitely not a spectators' game. On October 28, the Blue Waves smashed through to a surprising 53-0 victory over Greenport. A sup- posedly close contest was turned into a severe trounc- ing. Most of the credit should be given the forward line—Lukowski Boden, Donges, Bookkstaver, Nedosik, Jones, and Conklin. In the first away game of the season, Riverhead brought home the bacon from Easthampton. Ed and Ted scored the points to make the final tally 34-7. On Armistice Day, Riverhead won the Eastern Suf- folk Championship by beating its traditional rival, Southampton. Although it seemed clearly Riverhead's game during the first half, in the remaining quarters Southampton capitalized on two breaks and a despera- tion pass. The score was 45-20 in our favor. This vic- The season opened this year with two R.H.S. vic- tories. Our first opponent, Huntington, was deflated by a series of Wegert's drives and Reg's running which ran the final score up to 20 for Riverhead and a goose egg for Huntington. Due to tremendous line play, Westhampton was also routed in much the same man- ner—the score, 32-0. After two straight impressive victories, The Blue Waves were finally bested by a powerful Mepham squad which rolled up the score to 27-7. Our only score came when Wes grabbed the pigskin from a Mepham fumble and scampered 47 yards for a T.D. Co-Captains T. Wegert and E. Zaweski First Line: E. Zaweski, L. Nedosik, J, Lukowski, R.

Also, in this game, Ted Wegert tied the one season scoring mark record of 150 points, set in 1944. On November 18, the Amityville Crimson Tide, by outrunning, outrushing, and outpassing the River- head Blue Waves, captured the Suffolk County Cham- pionship. The score? 45-14! The powerful Amity backfield rolled up a 33 point lead before we were able to score. The outstanding performers for R.H.S included Zaweski, Boden, Wegert, and Underwood; but it seemed Riverhead's best was not good enough for the powerful Amity! Our only consolation came in the fact that at this game Wegert set a new scholastic scoring record of 163 points. At the close of this outstanding season, we applaud and appreciate Coach Knapp, Coach Stewart, and Co- Captains Zaweski and Wegert whose combined efforts have made this year's team one of the best ever.

Cap- tain Karol Ladka, ace grappler, could wrestle in but two matches. A heavy schedule afforded the squad ample com- petition. Probably their greatest victory was their first, a 48-3 win, over Poly Prep. Ladka pinned his man in 38 seconds, while Gatz also scored a pin. In the next two meets, Riverhead bowed in de- feat with scores of 30-17 and 38-18 against Amity- ville and Stony Brook respectively. However, a score of 31-13 Stony Brook and a 21-21 tie with Bayshore followed these two defeats. Jim Nash's pin of Bay- shore’s Scandura in the heavy weight match enabled Riverhead to tie the score. Walt Gatz and Ed Sieminski also won by pins, while John Harris and Vic Lewin decisioned. The following match with Oceanside saw defeat for R.H.S. with a score of 30-16. In the match with Farmingdale, the Westerners took seven out of ten bouts from the Blue Wave. Acting-Captain Walt Gatz and Bill Polak were the only ones who scored decisions, while George Caffrey registered the lone pin. The Blue Wave placed fourth in the Eastern Long Island competition and tied for fifth in the Island meet. Vic Lewin was particularly outstanding in the 139 class; Bobby Harris and Jim Nash reached the semi-finals. First Row from Top:G. Gatz, R. Ellwood, H. Victoria, Daniels, W. Worthington, H.

BETTY BETZS PROGRAM Since the girls were invited by the Woman's Club to Betty Betz’s lecture recently, let us spend some time discussing it. Rosie, suppose you begin. What was the subject of Miss Betz's lecture?’’ It was about various teen-agers throughout the world. Miss Betz gave a detailed account of the Japanese be- cause she was particularly interested in Japan. What do you think of the program as a whole, Maureen? It was very interesting. Miss Betz has done so much trav- eling that you know her information is authentic. Further- more, it was fun to hear how the other half lives. Fritzie, what is your comment? The only thing that I have to add, Miss Hand, is that I'm certainly glad I don't live in Russia. The iron curtain is a handicap to teen-agers there. It must have been a highly entertaining program. I don’t suppose anyone left before the refreshments were served, did she? I’m also sure you didn't forget to thank the Chair- man of the Woman’s Club for inviting you to their special show! MOVIES AND SONGS Marion, did you see ’Father of the Bride’ now playing at the Suffolk? No, what’s it about? Oh! It deals with the many problems which confront the father of a bride. I hope my father doesn’t have all that confusion when I get married! Sounds swell. Where did you go after the movies? To the Star. Was it ever crowded, and everyone was sing- ing along with the jukebox. My Heart Cries for You and So Long are certainly catchy tunes. I still like The Tennessee Waltz and Goodnight, Irene. These two songs led the Lucky Strike Hit-Parade, and I think they'll always be my favorites. JUNIOR PROM Carol, what’s the subject of your descriptive paragraph for English? Oh, I wrote on the Junior Prom. Want to read it? On January 26, 1951, Eddie and I spent a delightful ’evening in Paris’ dancing to the melodies of Tommy Roger’s Polka Dots. The gym was effectively decorated in blue and white with silhouettes scattered over the walls. I par- ticularly remember the Eiffel Tower. Multi-colored streamers, attached to the ceiling, hung just above the tables giving true Parisian effect. Toward the end of the evening, Jimmy Bruce and Peggy Echevrria led the couples in a grand march. At 12 o’clock, carrying our memoirs of an enjoyable evening, we left the dance. MARCH 7th Betsy, what are we going to do this homeroom period? Barbara and I are going to measure you for caps and gowns. The big day will be here before you know it—June 26th, you know. How do you go about meas- uring, anyway? Well, we’ll measure your height on that chart up there. Then, take down your weight and measure your heads, of course. Miss Hand says that the caps al- ways come too small! We’ll have those wonderful new nylon gowns again this year! THE YEAR DRAWS TO A CLOSE The year’s drawing to an end, isn't it? Mr. Thomas came today to talk about diplomas; we all realize that our high school days will soon be over. I wonder whether we want the same diploma as the preceding class with the old English style of writing or whether we would like to try something new with a picture of R.H.S. on the inside cover? The year book goes to press tomorrow, March 20th. We hope the books will be here for moving-up chapel. Mr. Dolega of Dolega Studios, West Main Street, Riverhead, has been helpful, patient, and accommodating with the photog- raphy—so has Mr. McGuire of the T.
