BLUE PECONIC Celebrates THE REBIRTH As if you hadn't guessed already, the theme of this yearbook is Blue Peconic Celebrates . . Celebrate?! In Riverhead?? What could there possibly be to celebrate in Riverhead? The answer is coming up shortly and throughout the book. Not only does this year mark Suffolk County's birthday but it also marks Riverhead's rebirth. Many im- provements that were only dreams a short time ago are now visible to everyone. One good example is the Peconic parking lot which hosts the Riverhead Country Fair. Buildings are being restored and rebuilt. The improvements are not limited to our surrounding community but ex- tend to Riverhead High School and af- fect everyone involved in the school. The most visible one being the band's new uniforms. Although it may seem a small thing to some, it just adds to the growing pride in Riverhead High School and Riverhead as a whole. Nine- teen Eighty-four is a year to CELEBRATE! Stopped in front of the reviewing stand, the Majorettes show their stuff to the onlooking crowds. In top formation, NJROTC marches down Main St. in the Tercentennial parade. Kevin Kenter proudly leads Troop 145, during the parade. 4

Balloons abound and add to the weekend's festive atmosphere. When seen through younger eyes, the Riverhead Country Fair appears a collage of color and excitement. Keeping time while marching comes naturally to Peter Kruzson and Helen Minden. 3
