Students again step on RHS soil. For some it is new experience, for others an old habit. It's Hard to Believe, But Summer Is Over and It's Time to Hit the Books After September 7th, the summer and all its advantages remain a memory for another, sometimes, final, one hundred and eighty days. If one were fortunate enough to be the first student through the front doors of our high school, he would have been faced with a custo- dian's dream — unscuffed floors, gleaming glass doors, and not another student in sight. Sooner than you can say, I want to go back to bed, the halls are filled with students and facul- ty alike. Empty lockers are filled with new books, bag lunches, and sweaters to break the chill. The hallway of R.H.S. serves as more than just a safe passage to class. On the first day back, the hallway becomes a meeting place for the rekindling rela- tionships between students and teachers and students that were somehow lost, but never forgotten, over the summer. After the initial shock of seeing old faces it's back to the books. The first day seems to contain the eight longest classes of the year. Out of the blue, things that one thinks he has forgotten, like the formula for calories or the Pythagorean theorum, come back and he gets caught up in the mainstream of learning. All at once, when the 2:25 bell rings, 9th period hysteria hits. People make their way to their buses or to the various extra-curricular activities of- fered at R.H.S. — so ending the first day back to Riverhead High School. Many students are baffled by the cards they are required to fill out Mrs. Reese, however, lends a har to set one new student straight. 10

WE ARE THE WAVES AND WE CAN DOIT The senior class owes most of its class' achievements to Mrs. Jackolski. The class' visually devastating but unrewarding homecoming floats, the success of the record breaking Q.S.P. magazine sales, and the class' overall enthusiasm and school spirit is largely due to the care, expertise, and dedication of Mrs. Jackolski. This year's senior class was truly graced with a wonderful advisor. Tressa, Lori, Kelly and Jamie show their spirit as well as interest in the other Riverhead Varsity Sport Teams. 12 The Junior Varsity Cheerleaders, new this year at RHS, show their stuff at September's pep rally.
