Riverhead High School - Blue Peconic Yearbook (Riverhead, NY)

The Blue Peconic Published by the Class of 1958 Riverhead High School Riverhead, New York J «Kf V %fc W i J bZ � V rr •'■ v K' A - - •� ' «V . . . - • _-- V« - = 'm ; : . A ' w - VvV F ore word For two centuries, I have observed the people and the events of Riverhead. I was one of the oak landmarks George III designated as the boundaries of his land grants. Near me, the first settlers estab- lished Riverhead. The original owners donated these lands for the use of the Riverhead Fair. The most interesting years began in 1937 with the construction of Riverhead High School. 1 watched the capable and friendly faculty guide their pupils through school and prepare them for the future. Passing me on the way to their doors, the seniors have discussed vocations and colleges. The underclass- men have worked faithfully as an inte- gral part of the school. The varied activities have developed the students’ interests, while the athletic program has encouraged good sportsmanship and school spirit. The Riverhead students, guided by all of these, have grown in knowledge, understanding and citizenship. On these pages, I will try to show you how they have done this. Faculty 7 Seniors 13 Classes 35 Sports 47 Activities 69 Augustus Askin has taught mathematics in Riv- erhead for 17 years. His accuracy and thorough- ness, his patience and good humor have led us to a clear understanding of algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. In appreciative recognition of his untiring de- votion to the teaching of mathematics, we dedi- cate our 1958 Blue Peconic to Mr. Askin. Faculty As I look down on the walk leading to the front door, those who pass first are the adminis- trators, teachers, secretarial staff, and others who are important in maintaining this school plant on a high level of efficiency in terms of education and utility. I feel that the students of Riverhead High School are fortunate to have the benefit of the work of these people. Board of Education Left to right, seated: Mrs. Clyde Tooker, Mr. H.

In the guidance office, they have planned their futures; in their classrooms, they have worked diligently to fulfill those plans; in their homerooms, they have prepared for their graduation. As they walked beneath me, I heard their ambitions, hopes and dreams. PETER ALBIN Pete” Major—Shop, Minor—Re- tailing. FRANK J.

The Senior Ball Candid Camera Prelude to Victory Testing.. 1,2,3 45 Strike up the Band Darling’ ” Seniors Just the beginning so Mt TV Sports The sportsmanship of Riverhead High School is carried on throughout all seasons. My tower- ing golden branches have often viewed the excit- ing games played by the Riverhead Blue Waves. When my leaves fell, and I stood erectly facing the cold winds, I listened to the mounting excite- ment inside the gym. Spring filled me with new green life as the teams returned to the fields once more. One unforgettable lesson all Riverheaders will carry with them always is to strive for victory. For sports taught them that victory is not only achieved with winning, but also with defeat as they maintained their strong spirit and sports- manship. 1 47 First Row, left to right: C. Sctek, M.

You may see them playing a fast game of softball, a smashing game of tennis or aiming a few swift shots at the archery target. The R. H.

That’s the way to go boys!” This is a familiar R.H.S. cheer shouted by our energetic cheerleaders. In the fall under clear skies, the girls cheered the football team to a most commendable championship. As win- ter became predominant, the girls cheered for the Waves’ basketball team. Whether the game resulted in a victory or defeat, the cheerleaders led the familiar R.H.S. spirit of try, try, and try again.” Whether at home or away, whether victorious or otherwise, the R.H.S. cheerleaders are on hand rousing the stands of Riverheader’s.

Sometimes swift, sometimes slow, Wave succeeding wave, they go.” —John Dyer— Gronghili Cross Country Coach Gilhooley started the season with a very young team, both in experience and age. But the boys aged very quickly and the ‘‘dis- tance men” had another fine season, losing but two meets and being invited to Bethpage to compete with the best runners in New York State.Although the R. H, S. men were outclassed here, they ran well and did the school proud. Losing only Stanley Veoukas and Co-captain William Murphy through graduation, the Blue Waves can be expected to come up with another fine season and possibly bring home a trophy. “What’s the matter, Billy?

Basketball As the 1958 basketball season came to a close, the league standings showed Riverhead no longer the occupant of last place. Although the team lost nine out of fifteen games, six of those nine games were lost by five points or less. Led by the scoring of Carl Bilski and the rebounding of Charlie Penney, the R. H. S. cagers made their presence felt around the league. We will lose Charlie and Bill Setek this June, and Alex Rogozinski and Richard Roach next January. But these men will be quickly replaced by the many fine J. V. players that Coach McKillop has prepared for the Varsity mentor, Coach Gilliooley. Kneeling: R. Schwartz (Manager), C. Skrezcc, H.

But there were Seniors on the team also, including Bubby Brown, Ray Nelson, and Bill Moisa. Since this was such a young group, Coach Walt Stewart is looking forward to a better season next year. 63 UT Our Cindermen” First Row: R. Smith. A. Daniels. R. Ellwood. R. Gainey. R. Winfree. B.

Winning nearly all their meets, the Riverhead team was a respected one. Our relay team took first in the counties as did Larry Johnson and Carl Harris in the pole vaulting competition. The latter two went to the Long Island Championships and performed well. Sev- eral of our runners also placed high in the county championship meet.

These close defeats stemmed from our better than average pitching and our sub-par batting. We lost six of our starting nine via graduation (M. Kopec, S. Hackal, H. Poliak, T. Podlas, T. 1 royan, and W. Polak). But Coach McKillop had a fine bench last year and among the 35 recruits for this year’s team are many experienced boys who prom- ise to improve on last year’s record. “You can’t hit what you can’t sec, Tony.” “Keep your eye on the ball Jonesy!” Tof) Row: A.

Last year’s tennis team was one of the best in the history of the school. Losing only to Bay Shore, whom they defeated in a later game, the Racket Men swamped their opposition as the) tore through the league. Having lost only Richard Gibbons, Coach Stewart is looking forward to more of the same good playing. Not so fast. Coach! Activities The force that holds a student body together is the strength and interest of its many activities. From the commanding rap of the Student Coun- cil’s gavel, to the lilting strains of the choir, to the tempting aromas in the kitchens of the F.

It added spirit to the foot- ball games and the pep chapel, and it marched for the Halloween and Memorial Day parades. Five members represented Riverhead in the Long Island Sectional Band at Northport. The group performed at two assemblies; the annual concert was given on March 27. It entered the NYSSMA Spring Contest at Hauppauge and many mem- bers played solos or ensembles there. As in past years, many members were in the All Thirteen Club.

The Spring Concert was April 25. It competed in the New York State School Music Contest in May. Again, this year, it provided music for the Janu- ary and June commencements and two assem- blies.

Under the direction of Mr. MacDon- ald, the choir is bigger and better than ever be- fore. This year the choir leaned more on popular pieces rather than classical ones, thus giving more enjoyment to their audiences. Their Christ- mas program, Childe Jesus, added to the true spirit and inspiration of the season. Once more they were asked to sing at January graduation. In the spring they again charmed their audiences at the “Spring Concert.” North port Selections: |. Evans, L. Andersen, J. Austin. — First Row: B. Miles, G. Satterly, S. Masternson, C. Hoff. J.

In February they re- cruited new members and agreed to a co-supper with the F.F.A. For the community, the girls made potholders: little slippers for the needy families of Riverhead as a symbol that the spirit of Christmas lives ever on.

The Future Farmers of America contribute much to our school life. They are always at our disposal when a job is to be done. They were busy in the Football season selling refreshments, at Christmas, cards. Strictly for pleasure, two basket- ball games and two debates were held with the Port Jefferson Chapter of the F'.F'.A. In February, the boys held their annual Father and Son Banquet which was a huge success. We know these confident boys will be raising our great Long Island “spuds” within a few years. First Row: G.

The Press Club gives aspiring young newspapermen and women experience in gathering and writing news articles, pre- paring features, reporting trends in fashions and sports, ft serves as the foundation of adequate training towards our future news- paper writers. It gives them an insight of the management and running of a successful and interesting paper through the pub- lishing of the Blue and White, which comes out ten times a year, and the Literary Supplement which is published every June. lint now: J.

Library Club Hooks . . . books . . . and more books! Gracing the shelves of tire Riverhead High School Li- brary is a sea ol innumerable words, held be- tween the covers ol novels, biographies, reference materials, short stories, essays, and poems in an endless procession. However, without the aid of the Library Club, Mrs. Delia Unkelbach, the librarian, would be hopelessly drowned in that sea of moving books. Since the library is constantly being used by the students, the students have volunteered for this service organization which works to aid the li- brarian in all her duties. As rewards, the members visit New York City in May, and also receive membership pins sur- mounting to a silver pin with engraved initials for the fourth year of service. Their lasting re- ward however, is the service performed for their Alma Mater. Le Cercie Francais First Row, left to right: J. Wells, R. Thurm, A. Pugsley, M. Lankan, J. Antonich, J. Young, J.

The French Club conducts its meetings every two weeks under the guidance of Mr. Robert Ste- vens. During these meetings they play different games in French, discuss French culture and his- tory and learn more about the language they are studying. Slides showing French architec- ture and movies spoken entirely in French have also been part of the programs. In the early part of June they held their annual picnic at Wildwood State Park.

The main purpose of the Latin Club is to acquaint its members with the aspects of Latin they do not cover during classes. During the bi-weekly meetings the students play many games, including scrab- ble, using only Latin words. They have seen slides on Roman archi- tecture and movies about their Roman heroes. The members have also given reports on background and on the value ot the films shown. Under the direction of Mr. Morris Diamond, they held a banquet in commemoration of the bimillenium of Julius Caesar on March 15, 1957. NACIVCA First Row, left to right: 1� . Creighton, S. Wolins, R.

Charley’s Aunt” “I’m Charley’s aunt from Brazil—where the nuts come from,” squeaked Bob Burns in Act I of this famous comedy by English playwright, Brandon Thomas. As Lord Fancourt, Bob impersonated Donna Lucia D’Alvadorez, wealthy aunt of his college chum, Charles Wkyeham (Charles Zuhoski), to chaperone a meeting of Charlie, Jack Chesney (Bill Mur- phy), and their respective-respectable girl friends. From then on anything could happen as the imposter was courted by both Sir Francis Chesney (Mike Botula) and Stephen Spet- tigue (Charlie Pospisil). The girls who indirectly caused such comic confusion were Kitty Verdun (Dot Zembko), Amy Spettigue (Joan Antonich), and Fla Delahay (Karen Kolenski). To make matters worse came the real Donna Lucia, portrayed by Lila Andersen. Assisting the boys’ cause was an inevitable English butler, Brassett (Tom Medsger). Donna, be seated.
