',7TT----- EOT “TE ET OEC ?, SHALL NOT PERISH FROMJHEJARTH, TSETTRG NOVEMBER The plaque above, which hangs in the lobby of Riverhead High School was a gift from the family of David Edward Gaddis. It was originally presented to Mr. Gaddis “by his loving friends and pupils after fifty years of faithful service in the Public Schools of New York City.” 4 We live in a world of separations. In Germany, a wall of political conflict unnat- urally divides brother from brother. In Southeast Asia, opposing factions grapple for control of government. The organizations of co-operation are torn by fierce controversy, and it seems that the world cannot encompass the existant -extremes of thought and action. There is proof, however, that harmony is the natural condition rather than the unnatural. We see this in the atom, whose particles are bound together creating a whole. We can also see that there is hope for harmony in mankind. The Gettysburg Address is a landmark in the struggle for this harmony called —brotherhood. A Inspired by the spirit of unity in the Gettysburg Address and the physical unity in the atom, we base this yearbook on the unity of mankind —brotherhood.

Here the lack of student advisors made him conscious of the need for guidance counselors. After serving 3 years in the air force in Europe and North Africa, he entered Colgate University. In 1949 he graduated, receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree with high honors in history. The next year he received his masters degree, and in 1951 came to Riverhead as a history teacher. In 1956 he was pro- moted to the position of guidance counselor. Then he became assistant high school principal, and director of guidance, the positions which he now holds. He has earned the respect and admiration of every student in high school for his unselfish devotion. His friendship, kindness, and understanding have helped many of us through trying experiences. He has guided us toward becoming useful citizens in tomorrow's world. Thus, we the class of 1965 are proud to dedicate our yearbook to Mr. Nathaniel Shaffran. 8 FctCujfifcj tie 7rr?- 7 rfrffi J i if r’ U . t - - ' - 4 -v s 4 yHr x BGtlf CSl lEYBR’T'OHtJET WIATTHEf . .✓ r- Our sense of brotherhood is shaped in part by our teachers. They contribute to our knowledge of many things —the art of communication, the skills needed to take individual positions in a co-operation society, the common history binding us together, and the com- mon laws of nature making us dependent on each other. For all this we are grateful, and we cannot forget.” 9 BOARD OF EDUCATION SEATED: Fred Reeve, Millie Northridge, Fred Alexander. STANDING: John Freese, George Goode, Richard Sawyer, John Wowak. JOHN B. THOMAS District Principal The class of 1965 considers it an honor to again pay tribute to a man who has been a giant among those who have guided our school district to its present stature. Mr. John B. Thomas graduated from Pennsylvania State College receiving a Bachelor of Arts Degree, and taught history and Eng- lish in junior high school and high school for several years in other school systems. In 1932 he completed the work for his Master of Arts Degree at Columbia University and came to Riverhead that same year to become principal of the elementary school. In 1941 he became principal of the high school and continued in that capacity until 1956 when he was appointed District Principal of the newly formed Central School District No. 2. Mr. Thomas has served this school district and community for 34 years, and aside from his constant attention to duty in the school district he has been active in many professional and community organizations. His plans call for retirement from further active work in our school district, and we know that he will be missed. Mr. Thomas, the class of 1965 thanks you for your life and work in Riverhead. 10 cmdi FctCoCty KENNETH ROSS Assistant District Principal GEORGE TRUTNER High School Principal NATHANIAL SHAFFRAN Assistant Principal Guidance Director JOSEPH SHIPULE Guidance ELIZABETH BLUE Administrative Assistant MRS.

At the end of our four years we can say that we have truly struggled. Yet we know that other challenges await us, presented by our new roles in society. These challenges will not be the same for any two of us, but part of every person’s struggle should involve making real the dream of brotherhood. 21 lA tu 'S Wkfr Richard Brody, Mary Beth Leach.

Working as a team creates ties of friendship and loyalty to our school and fellow classmates. The school spirit encourages the participants to try their best at all times. A team means working as one.

For the first time in six years our two and half milers lost the League Championship. The team had five victories and only one loss this year. This defeat after thirty-five straight victories. One of the boys who made this possible was Richard Stoll, who was chosen for the Section All Star Team and also ran in the State Championship meet. Other good runners were: Ronald Goodridge, John Hale, Martin Cherry, Rudy Funn, and Larry Brown. Certainly all the boys have to be commended for the wonderful job. 82 Look who's in front!!? 1 guess you finally made it... Ron!

WRESTLING This year's wrestling team turned in a sparkling performance in regular season play, sporting a record of eleven wins and five losses. Then too, these losses came out of the hands of much larger schools. In the past season tournaments, Riverhead played second in the leagues and ended with a creditable performance in the county tournament. The outstanding wrestlers for the Blue Waves were Myron Harris, Herb and Willie Trent, Jerimiah Sykes, Oliver Miles, and Rudy Funn. The prospects for next year look exceedingly bright with five of the fore mentioned seven matmen, returning for another season.

Our athletes will face five tough teams this year,” says Coach Gilhooley, “I don't know whether or not we ll be undefeated again, but I expect to have a good team.” Since a lot of the team is made up of Sophomores and Juniors, Coach Gilhooley will have a good nucleus for next year’s team. 88 Cmon Myron, Pass that man!

The team seems to be in fine form and will probably carry on in its usual winning tradition. The only team that may give us some trouble is Sayville,” says Coach Cufarro, Otherwise we re in pretty good shape.” Most of the varsity lettermen from last year are returning. Besides that, there are a few other boys who also look good. Some of the boys to watch this year are Steve Ross, and Jerry Devall, who are the Co-Captains, Bo Goodale, and Bill Bloxsom.

This year an outstanding number of girls went out for basketball which was held at Riverhead. Besides having a great deal of fun, the girls learned playing as a team. To make a basket it takes considerable coopera- tion among the players. Passing the ball to someone who has a better chance for a good shot, sharing the ball with others and keeping the ball moving will no doubt be the factors which make a winning team! 100 V FIRST ROW LR: M.

GENERAL ORGANIZATION The General Organization now in its fourth year, has again strived to promote unity throughout the student body. A G.O. Candy Drive was successfully held proving that R.H.S. students work together to establish a Scholarship fund for a deserving member of the senior class. Late in the semester a campaign, followed by the election of the '65- 66 G.O. Officers, was held. With such competent officers, Riverhead High School's General Organiza- tion will undoubtedly be a success. I 10 Each year, outstanding students of R.H.S. are in- ducted into the National Honor Society on the basis of Service, Leadership and Character. Members strive to uphold these qualities in an attempt to set examples of good conduct for the rest of the school. The River- head Chapter of the N.H.S. has been successful with this year's program. They provided guides tor Col- lege Night,” sent clothing to the families in Kentucky, and gave up free periods to help in the kindergarten. The older members also arranged induction assem- blies and gave a dinner for its 31 new members. As usual, they conducted an orientation assembly for the incoming R.H.S. students.

Both the German I and German II classes were unusually small; however, by working together they have become successful in not only their studies but also planning a Christmas party and a spring trip. The German I have continued the new method of basic dialogue sentences as did the German class last year.

Without the general education they would be unprepared for the responsibilities of living in an advancing world of tomorrow. It is most important to have an educated society to incorporate their interdependence to the utmost goals to ensure a world of peaceful brotherhood. 123 Pictured here are just a handful of books used in the English curriculum. Shak'cspeare! °f °Ur SCh0°‘ yea ' ire shoW here For P ' 124 English is the basic curriculum shared by all students during their four high school years. In the sense of true brotherhood, it incorporates the literary talents of many nationalities-all combined to help promote better understanding and interest for the student. French records help students master the language and hear French spoken fluently. Pttouclv The French language gives the student a richer and greater appreciation of France. In the French classroom, the language student learns and practices the skills which enable him to develop an understanding of the subject. Arc De Triomphe is one of France's greatest landmarks. 125 Magazines and newspapers help students learn French culture. LojtUv Caesar's soldier, getting ready for combat, is pictured here. Latin plays an important part in our curriculum. The Latin students learn much about Roman tra- ditions and customs by the extensive study of Latin, translations (of Caesar Cicero). One of the ancient buildings studied during the course. 126 The land where Roman customs and traditions arose. These are some of the books that help students master the language. German is in its second year at R. H. S. under the direction and skill of Miss Spann. German 1 and German 11 students are being taught the fundamentals of this language. Students become acquainted with the country through pictures. The German map shows the country in detail. 127 Students in solid geometry discover geometrical truths of three dimensional space and their establishment by logical methods. U tfl Today, mathematics is a must if a person hopes to gain a clear understanding of the technical age in which he lives. The mathe- matics department of R. H. S. attempts to give the math student this understanding by offering courses from elementary algebra to analytic Geometry and Calculus.

Recent technological triumphs by America’s scientists have shown the superiority of our country in the various fields of science. If we are to maintain our lead in these scientific fields, more young people must prepare for these careers. The science dept, at R.H.S. tries to give the students a fundamental knowledge of the sciences. The material on the Periodic Chart is basic to the whole study of chemistry. The microscope is one piece of equipment that is used in Biology to aid student research. 129 The American History course strengthens the student's understanding of his American heritage. Students in World History learn about different parts of the world. WINSTON CHURCHILL He was not of an age, but for all time. To make the world we live in more prosperous and peaceful, students of World History, Ameri- can History, and psychology learn the mistakes and victories of our forefathers, and analyze the problems of today. Through their studies of history and psychology, these students are able to resolve their own problems and become better citizens. 130 BusUim ]99V99Q The transcribing machine aides the secretary in dictation. The business course in R.H.S. ranges from typing, to shorthand, bookkeeping, and business law. They prepare the secretary for a career in the business world. Success, however, doesn’t happen overnight. To obtain a perfect career, many hours of study must be put forth. A good appearance, friendly attitude, and a willingness to work, are the main characteristics of a successful business student. These are the keys to success. They are essential in the business world. The duplicator serves the whole school by running off copies of notices, etc. Shorthand is a great skill to acquire. It is offered to any young girl who is willing to learn. 131 All the basic fundamentals are put together to produce a good painting. Here is our favorite lady with a new Easter bonnet done by a student this year. Along with this is a fish mobile and a wood carving of a ship (also done by the students this year). 132 Because our art students are given an opportunity to experience and develop an appreciation of art, the River- head High School Art Department consists of all types of art instructions. Whether a student prefers a general know- ledge of drawing or a specific knowledge of one field of art, the opportunity is opened to them with the help and guidance of Miss Bruno. Two of the many projects in art this year were working with papier mache and pipe cleaners. ECO tOmCS This year, for the first time, the girls learned how to knit in the sewing class. Though they may attend college or pur- sue business careers, the majority of girls in high school are destined to become homemakers...Riverhead High's econom- ics program prepares these girls for their future tasks — sewing, cooking, and child care. Riverhead High School also offers the boys an economics program. Here the future fathers, husbands, bachelors learn the fundamentals of cooking and sewing. Like any tool, the sewing machine requires a skilled operator to produce the best results. Diluat E oCdftOM Correct driving form and habits are necessary to be a good driver. The chief aim of the Driver Education Department is to pro- mote safety on the highway by instilling in the student the reasons and need for safe driving habits. This course teaches the student both correct and safe driving methods, and fundamen- tal facts about the mechanisms of the car engine. Driver training pupils also study the mechanics of the car. Newspaper articles pertaining to any phase of driving are col- lected by driver training students. Today more and more students are driving to school. R.H.S. offers these and others a course in drivers training. 134 [ H tuSbdcJ!; finis Every student must learn the use and mastery of certain tools. Riverhead s course in the Industrial Arts enables boys to utilize their abilities in wood and metal projects. In Riverhead High, boys can become better acquainted with the fundamentals of both wood and metal work. These boys are allowed to utilize their abilities in con- structive work and, in addition, learn the proper care and usage of the tools of their trade. These courses are beneficial both to the future household handymen and those who may want to enter into one of these trades. A course in electronics enables the boys to build their own electrical units and small computers. Lo, Soul! seest thou not God’s purpose from the first?
