You have to BE THERE to see them, to enjoy them, so you can do the telling. Lots of terrific things — things that you wouldn't want to miss — have been happening here in Riverhead Town and Riverhead Schools. Don't worry if '85 seems to have passed you by. The Blue Pcconic will take you through 1985, the year you were there. Those of us who have spent four years living the life of an RHS stu- dent could spend another four years relating our memories, our successes, our failures, and all the experiences in between. These stories would all undoubtedly end, Oh well, I guess you had to be there.'' But '85 is the year you were there. Your feelings and dreams are captured in the pic- tures to follow. The end, the beginning, or the plain old middle of your high school career is here for you to share. After all, RHS is something worth showing off. We have teachers who have given their all and ac- complished things above and beyond the call of duty. RHS is two steps ahead of the nation. News reports say, Education is declining in the USA , but we at RHS live by another set of standards — those of ex- cellence. Aren't you glad you were there to share RHS's successes. This year at RHS, just being there meant lots more than being just another part of the student body. Being there meant your ticket to hun- dreds of free sporting events featuring stars you already know. It meant your chance to talk with Mr. Jester, Teacher of the Year, about his aspira- tions to BE THERE on the moon. It meant your opportunity to use your abilities to get things done for the school and yourself. Remember all you need to succeed is to BE THERE. Look for yourself in the following pages. After all, you are what made RHS the place to be in '85. The annual Biology Canoe Trip is an unforgettable, in teresting experience Cindy Coru in and Cindy Lou ell hat a try at paddling the Peconic (and staying dry)! 4 Opm«i|c Opetw Above — Trying to avoid making a splashLaura Dohren and Kristen Engel practice some careful canoeing.

Far Right — There’s no turn- ing hack even if you overturn, so Mary Ann Feuerman con- centrates on just making it there to the end Though not exactly a voyage on the high seas or a daring challenge against white water, the RHS Biology Canoe Trip is fun- Filled excitement. BEING THERE is only the First step. Every student who was there can tell you about the feeling of Maybe we re lost, or Look who tipped over now, or How will we ever get through this tunnel without suffocating! Being outdoors gave a refreshing change to everyday school, and sharing the perils and new experience with friends made BEING THERE worthwhile. The chance to exercise muscle instead of the brain and to sit in a canoe instead of a desk made it worthwhile being a Biology student all year long. The reward was to BE THERE on the Peconic River. 6 Right: Trying to figure out how to get their canoe across the road are Darlene Miloski and Sandy Flanigan. LEARNING THERE ait a minute! Hold every- thing! I was out of school for three days, and I have no idea what is going on. How could I miss so much in just three short days.-' Whatever the reason, a day missed means work missed. It seems as though you miss one day of school, and it takes you three more just to make it up. This happens when only a couple of days are missed. Imagine what would happen if you came to school only when you really felt like it. If you want to learn anything and get ahead in life, you have to BE THERE. As students in our school, we tend to take some of the academic opportunities for granted. We have one of the finest ! oreign Language departments on Long Island. How many schools do you know that still offer Latin.'' ROTC is another academic opportunity not found everywhere. We have up-to- date lab and computer equipment where some schools have very little. In order to take advantage of these opportunities, however, you have to BE THERE. You have to make the decision. Opportunities are not given away; however, they are there, and we have to take it upon ourselves to grab them and use them in our own best interest. On the following pages are some highlights of the academic year at our school. The opportunities were there. Were you?

AcadrtnM l � h� c� « A Far Cry From the ORDINARY Q: Can you briefly describe your history, such as where you were born, where you went to school, etc.? A: Presently I live in Greenport with my wife and five children. I was horn and raised in Greenport and graduated from Greenport High School. Q Where did you complete your education following high school? A: I received a B.S. in Secondary Education (Cum Laude) and an W.5 in Biology (Magna Cum Laude) from SUNY at Geneseo. Q. Briefly explain your teaching career to this point in time. A: taught math and science from the junior high to the college level. My last thirteen years have been spent here at RHS. Q. Please explain your willingness to be involved with students in after-school activities, as well as academically. A: Eleven years ago I set up the RHS Ski Club. We started with seventeen students; and since then, we have had a total of slightly over 1,800 students involved. I had several reasons for setting up this type of club. I hoped that it would involve the students in a sport that they could be involved in the rest of their lives. I wanted it to be a club that the members could be proud of primarily because it is then club. They make the arrangements, make and enforce the rules, and are responsible for the success and good name of the club. I think it is important that each member realize that when they go with us, they represent themselves, their family, the community, and our entire school. Q What do you think of education and the school system in Riverhead? A: realize the sacrifices that have and are being made by our community to offer each student the finest possible education. I cannot say enough about the majority of our students. We have a system everyone can be proud of. Q. The standard of education in the nation has become an issue in the news lately. How do you feel about education in the United States? A: In our school and in the nation's schools, there are many opportunities of which students do not take ad- vantage. This is so sad and such a waste; not simply because I am a teacher, but because I firmly believe it. I say, ”A student, a home, a town, a state, or a nation that invests time, money, and effort in education has made the wisest possible investment. It is one that will pay dividends many times Q. Please relate your feelings upon receiving The Teacher of the Year” award. A: It is truly a great honor to be given such an award, especially when you consider the caliber of the system that presents the award. I feel that many of my colleagues deserve it more than myself, but I also realize that it is not simply an award to one but rather to an entire system. Our system builds on the effort of its entire teaching, administrative, and support staff. In a system the size of ours, a single person can- not do an outstanding job unless there are many other oust anding people (both in school and at home) working for a common goal. Lastly, and probably most importantly, in order to do an outstanding teaching job, one must be working with outstanding young people; and we certainly have a good number of them at RHS. Q: Would you like to make any additional comments in closing? A: Excellence in every endeavor should be the goal of all. You’ve asked me a number of questions more or less related to the past. Thomas Jefferson once said, '7 like to dream of the future more than study the history of the past. Our students have to look to the future with hope and optimism. They must realize that the future is where they will spend the rest of their lives. If they’re truly going to be excellent at what they choose to do, they must strive for excellence every step of the way. What better way than to start today? 10 Trachrttrfihr Ym In recognition of his excellence and devotion, Mr. Jester was voted Teacher of the Year. The seriousness of their duty as NJROTC members is already apparent, even on the faces of the newest recruits. The NJROTC runs a tight ship. Here they display their finest cadets during the Riverhead Country Fair. The display by the color guard, prior to the home football games, helps to get everyone involved in school spirit wBB 9 A Salute to Pride New Freshmen recruits, as well as seasoned cadets, stand ready to serve their school as well as their country and community. Cadets can be seen at all hours marching to improve and upgrade their act in order to live up to their own high standards. The NJROTC Unit in Riverhead is an academic experience where BEING THERE means putting forth the ultimate effort. Perfection is the goal which is displayed in the cadet's every action, precise marching, sparkling clean uniform, and unfailing service. At the start of the school year, the NJROTC was already hard at work riding down the Pecomc River for the Riverhead Country Fair and raising the flag at the school each morning. The NJROTC proves to themselves, as well as the rest of RHS, that BE- ING THERE means a display of pride. This pride is reflected on the faces of the cadets, the faces of their classmates, and throughout the school. It serves to boost the spirit of RHS NJROTC Microbiology studenti Mary Ann Dorose, Bon- nie Glaseman, and Dawn Fulcher, take ad- vantage of the fine laboratory equipment available at RHS.

For one thing, they are a part of science class that offers a real change from taking notes, watching films or taking tests. Labs are about building amino acid molecules in Biology or making huge proteins in AP Biology It is BEING THERE in Chemistry as you go about boiling, burn- ing, crushing, pouring, and mixing chemicals only to find out that you forgot to add the acid or that your bunsen burner hose is filled with water. Labs are finding out that you put the petri dish in the wrong incubator in Microbiology or that you left the autoclave on much longer than you should have. Labs are memorable ex- periences like the day you had to cut open that frog or, heaven forbid, lance your finger. Labs offer you hands-on ex- perience that you would not want to miss. After all, some of the greatest You had to BE THERE stories originated in the laboratory. 14 Uh W.«k If Jennifer Hoffman gets some hands-on ex- perience in the microbiology lab.

Tomorrow You Could Be Anywhere It would be impossible to imagine a year in Riverhead High School without an exchange student. This year Riverhead is fortunate to host six students from various countries around the world who are viewing American life through the eyes of Riverhead High School Seniors. The European exchange students include Chris Douillot from France, Melanie Estrella from West Germany, and Mia Ringblom from Sweden. Our South American exchange students are Carlos Leite from Brazil and Marcela Sanchez from Colombia. Our last ex- change student. Minoru Ueno, comes to us from his home in Japan. All of the exchange students have proved to be friendly, fun loving, and have made friends here very easily. Carlos is known for his strong character and sensitiveness. He was a member of the soccer team and a photographer for the yearbook. Minoru is quiet and his respect- fulness has been a lesson to us all. Mia loves music; and when she's not singing, she's making friends. Chris is charming and loves to laugh. One of her best qualities is her willingness to take time to listen to others. Melanie is sweet but shy, often expressing in actions what she doesn't with words. Last, but certainly not least, is Marcela whose smile touches the hearts of everyone. She has a kind word for everyone, and her positive outlook on life holds hope for a promising career in journalism. Only one of Riverhead's students was selected for the exchange program this year. Robert Gevenski left for Bogota, Colombia, last August; and when he returns home this summer, he’ll carry with him fond memories of his year abroad. Staying in a foreign country for a year may seem a long time; but once the time to say goodbye arrives, it seems to have gone by quickly. When the time comes to say goodbye to our six foreign friends, we shall hold fond memories of great people who made the year better by being here. Fomffl Eh hang the Music Play Let The musical youth of our school are well represented. Band members, decked out in flashy uniforms, liven up football games and parades with their crowd- rousing tunes. In the past few years, the band has even shared their music with other communities through exchange trips. The band also produces a spring concert once their marching days are through. The orchestra, while small, puts forth a big effort at introducing a little class to the listening tastes of Riverhead High. Each Christmas and spring the orchestra performs an industriously prepared con- cert to the parents and students. This year, the orchestra was pleased to contain two All-State bass players, Rob Soto and Ted Goldwyn. It is not often that an or- chestra this size can say as much. The chorus provides a fine concert each year at Christmas and in the spring they perform a wide selection of vocal ar- rangements from the 18th Century to the present day. Students in the band and the orchestra can also participate in the chorus. Singers wishing to become more involved may join Show Choir. The Sound Waves sing, dance, and travel to contests held especially for show choirs. Music is a vital part of every human's life so it is rather appropriate that we should be given every opportunity to ex- pand and enrich our musical talents. The fine music program at RHS has given us just this chance. I Mum Department I Left — Counting the measures, Mr. Roberts utilizes his ability to clap.

Special'’ '■ vu ki - fvt | The whir of a buzz saw and the Lm of the sewing machine are both enals of productivity and give a hse of accomplishment to the in- kidual proficient in using these iachines. The same sense of ac- jmplishment is felt by a person who in use a pencil to create something leful. Many students develop the dlls necessary to use these and other iols by enrolling in an Industrial Arts ass. a Home Economics class, or a lechanical Drawing class. 1 Industrial Arts provides the student jth an opportunity to saw wood, ilder metal, or create with plastics, fith the excellent instruction pro- ded by the shop teachers, Mr. Rose id Mr. Mills, these basic activities develop into the skills necessary to construct cabinets, metal tool boxes, and other projects. Many students take these courses with the idea of breaking up the monotony of the school day. They may not realize, however, the importance of the skills they are learning and the part those skills may play in getting a job or fix- ing up their own homes in the future. Home Economics courses are in- valuable. Basic sewing skills are taught, and students then graduate to more complicated projects like mak- ing pillows, quilts, and articles of clothing. Students enrolled in sewing courses today may be able to brighten their homes of tomorrow using the skills learned in Home Economics classes. The benefits of taking a Home Economics cooking class cannot be ignored. The delicious smells wafting down the halls at all hours of the day prove that behind those closed doors the future homemakers of America may be found. Basics such as how to boil water lead to bigger and better things such as determining proper diets and the preparation of meals. Mechanical Drawing provides the basics for a start on a career as a draftsman or an architect; therefore, the skills learned in Mechanical Draw- ing can aid a student interested in go- ing to college. You'll find that and more in Mechanical Drawing. Top — Possibly preparing a fntnrt homemaker for success, Mrs. Anderson assists a stndeni at filling a pattern.

While many of us have been struggling for years to determine what the future holds for us, there are those select few who seem to know exactly the direction in which they are headed. Who are they, you wonder, and how did they gain this confident attitude They are the students of the BOCES program and the Business Department. They are assured of a path for the future because the schedule they have followed in either of these programs has prepared them for the future job market. First, let's take a look at the BOCES pro- gram. It offers many alternatives for study in- cluding nursing, data and word processing, and such mechanical fields as carpentry, electrical wiring, and auto mechanics. More often than The Future Is on the Line Above — Exercising her cashiering skills in Mr. Stazzone's business class is Vicki Michalowski. Right — The Capping ceremony held in the auditorium on November 30, was a momentous occa- sion for Diane Bieniewicz and the 13 other LPN’s capped by Mrs. Margaret Flatery. not, a student who completes one of these courses may move immediately into the job market upon completion of high school. A nur- sing student can receive her LP and have a career as soon as she graduates. Riverhead students share the BOCES facilities with students from other high schools. In order to graduate from a BOCES program, the student must fulfill all regular requirements for gradua- tion. Just like at RHS, the BOCES program has other areas of involvement. Numerous business courses are aimed at preparing students for jobs in the secretarial field or introducing them to the broader study of economics or accounting. Typing, short- hand, and word processing help model the 22 Bocn Buttons super secretary of the future. Courses such as retailing introduce business operations and let students see what type of a salesperson they would make. There is even a business club called DECA (Distributive Education Club of America) which sells candy, operates the school store, and travels to many conferences to com- pete with other chapters of DECA. At RHS the future is always on the line as each year the graduating class prepares to meet the world. With a strong background in a BOCES program or business courses, a graduate is guaranteed that his future will start out on the right foot.

Fit For Life There’s no escaping it. Some have tried. All attempts have failed. It’s a fact of life. Just as everyone must pass four years of English, so must everyone pass four years of Physical Education and one semester of Health. Knowing that, one can either make a futile attempt at avoiding it, or one can learn something while enjoying one’s self. Physical Education and Health are two courses that, at first, may seem totally unrelated. Take a second look, and you Above — Practicing up on her ping pong skills in gym class is Mary Stopinski. Right — Getting her class ftt to face many of life’s inevitable situations is Mrs. Jackolskt. will see they go together like peanut but- ter and jelly or Arnold Schwarzenegger and 400-lb. weights. The Heatlh course is designed to teach students about themselves, their bodies, and their sur- roundings. There is so much emphasis placed on fitness these days that it is naturally a topic of study. Now is the time to learn how to take care of one’s body before too many bad habits are formed. Throughout the Health course, current events are discussed. This keeps everyone up to date on the latest discoveries and technology. This year saw the third artificial heart recipient survive the operation. We also witnessed Baby Fae's fatal transplant, and the abortion issue remained a major topic in the news. Such health issues affect us all in some way. While learning why we should stay fit, gym classes help us learn how. Whether one is learning the rules of football or field hockey or sweating it out in the weight room, gym gives students an outlet for extra energy and a chance to learn some skills. Although you might not become a professional badminton player or basketball expert, the skills of sportsmanship and self-discipline are valuable assets. The combination of gym and health teach us the how and why of hysical fitness. In the long run, this nowledge will help keep us fit for life. 14 Gym Mttirh Excellence Has Its Own Rewards No, AP doesn't stand for all day party, but it doesn't mean study, study, and more study either. AP, which actually stands for advanced placement, can scare you away from some of the most interesting courses in RHS. Provided that you have done well in your previous studies, you just might find yourself in an AP class. AP English is a four-year course, which offers you a chance to BE THERE to read and write some great stuff.'' AP Math is the final chapter of the advanced math program at RHS.

A.P CUmm ir Nor PICTURE THIS Many students are under the impression that every high school course requires that you sit firm- ly in your Wat, bring a notebook to class, and carry a large hard cover textbook. Too few peo- ple recognize that they are missing a chance to be creative. They must have forgotten to sign up for an art class. For those of us who are not taking an art class, the cluttered and colorful art rooms look inviting. Students here work actively with their hands as well as their minds. The product of a period's worth of work will be something in which they have played an undeniable part. No two vases, paintings or photographs will ever be the same. At the same time these students are both individuals and members of a group, sharing their ideas with one another. Interaction, creativity and learning combine to make art an enjoyable, opportunity for anyone interested in practicing their art skills. Even if you know nothing about] art. here's the opportuni ! ty to begin exploring the] world of ceramics. photography, crafts.i painting, and drawing. V) Student Lde Divider BEING THERE Although it may sometimes seem as though your whole existence revolves around school, there are other aspects of student life. When the bell rings at 2:25; and the academic life ends, student life begins. Many activities that are school related are not necessarily academic. We also know that a good pan of student life does not occur on school grounds. If there can be anything good said about Mondays, it might be that you get to hear about everything that happened over the weekend. Who was at whose party, who went out to what movie, or who cruised around in whose car. Many people leave school only to do more work. It can be very difficult to jug- gle school work, a job. and decent social life all at the same time. However, a sur- prising number of students are able to do this. These people deserve a great deal of respect. Much of their work is done outside school, and it should be recognized. Whether you went out celebrating our League V championship football team or served McDonald's 50 millionth hamburger, or par- ticipated in the 9th Annual Country Fair, life extended far beyond school grounds. On the following pages are many of the events that took place in our lives. Do you remember them? You had to BE THERE to witness them firsthand.

A moment of triumph after a time of sadness . . . Few budget votes can attest to being dramatic. Often we are not aware of why or when a budget vote occurs. Suddenly a rumor sprouts up that lets you know that this year there may be a conflict. Perhaps the budget will not pass. Unfortunately, often these rumors are grounded in truth and sometimes the prediction becomes a reality. Such an incident occurred in our school district this past year; and despite the hard work of the faculty, students, and communi- ty members, the budget vote resulted in a defeat. This is not a district to give up. The defeat of the budget started people thinking about the future of the schools and the com- munity. Students became aware of what a year of austerity would mean to them. All they needed was another chance to see if the community could produce a victory. The second chance came and so did the eventual victory. The voters of Riverhead gave the school district the support it needed to have a successful year. This book itself is a testa- ment of the things that might not have been if the school district was on austerity. Look through its pages at the pictures of the foot- ball games, other sporting events, activities, and clubs. Notice the fun that all the par- ticipants are having.

These are memories of a perfect summer. Free from school, you're free to party; and. unfor- tunately. you are also free to go to work. Summer nights just wouldn't be the same without the money made on summer days. Summer heralds the arrival of the con- tinuous weekend. The nights merge into one big Friday night. No longer is movie night restricted to the weekend. Each and every hour of summer is bursting with the opportunity for fun. Summer also signifies the arrival of the tourists. This fact can be viewed as good or bad. depending on how you look at it. Either you enjoy the new faces and the fact that these visitors from New York City keep business alive, or you despise the inva- sion of the highways and beaches which oc- cur every year. In many ways summer can be as much of a learning experience as the time you spend in school (You don’t believe that, do you?) You can take a Driver's Education course, learn how to operate the cash register at the A P, or learn the name of that gorgeous hunk or girl sauntering down the beach. Unfortunately, the time spent during the summer seems disproportionate to the time spent in school. The summer seems so short that it virtually disappears before you can say, Pass the Coppertone, please. However, the memories of summer will last until the nightmarish memories of school and homework have passed away.

I have $ news for you; this is no mistake. You should j to be up at the crack of dawn. What's that I ! heard you say just before you stuck that pillow on your head? You want to know • why? Ready for this shock? ... believe it or i not... it’s the first day of school! Somehow, two hours later you are washed, ( fully dressed, and sitting in homeroom. Once | the shock wore off you were prepared to grit J your teeth and face another year of I homework and tests. Do you have to force yourself to tolerate football, cheerleading, lunch time, or your favorite club? No, I’m sure you don’t. I don’t recall your saying that you could stand a year without your friends. It’s rather difficult during the summer to get all your buddies and girlfriends together every day, but school is a place where you can get together every day. In a way, the first day of school is one big celebration and a time to say Hello to friends and teachers. For seniors, the first day of school is also a time of goodbye to the boring time spent in homeroom and a farewell to part of the greatest time of their lives. Whatever the first day of school means for you, remember it can only happen once a year.

If you look around carefully, you will notice a small group of new faces. Interaction between teacher and stu- dent is a vital part of the educational pro- cess. New teachers help add to the variety of learning possibilities. New people have new experiences to share, and they can make your day a little more interesting. Keep your eyes open for the new teachers each year. Each year one-fourth of the school population is replaced with new faces. This year 399 freshmen entered the school on September 7. Since that day the new faces have become familiar faces. The class of 1988 is on its way to becom- ing an important influence. They have shown surprising organization by produc- ing a second-place homecoming float. They have three more years to make themselves the greatest new faces to enter RHS. Some new faces enter our school as transfers. They are new students from other schools who have moved into the district and now call Riverhead their home. Matriculating into a new school is difficult. The National Honor Society is striving to start a Big Brother Big Sister Program in which the Honor Society members will help make the transition from one school to another a little easier for new students. New faces come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. They help add to the variety of experiences that occurred in 1985. Above — Saying hello to new faces sometimes means saying goodbye to others.

The line for free baked potatoes appears endless, and in the distance the couple stuck on the top of the ferris wheel gets the best view of it all. Yes, it is the annual event that everyone waits for, and no one misses. Eight years ago the first Country Fair was held, and a good part of the Riverhead residents at- tended. Today the fair takes a full year of planning, and a good part of Eastern Long Island attends. If you arrive after 8 a m., you may have to park more than a mile away from the fair grounds. The Fair is unique to our town and helps preserve our heritage and culture. Anyone can have a booth at the Fair provided they reserve it months in ad- vance. This presents the perfect opportunity for clubs, home-based companies, and future enterprises to raise funds. Left — Just clowning around.

There is everything from boat rides on the river to pony rides in the parking lot. To begin the days activities, the NJROTC floated down the Peconic River on the Tooker's yacht. Upon their arrival, the flag was raised, and our national anthem was played. Throughout the day, students continued to represent our school. The cheerleaders, the stage band, and par- ticipants in the elementary school spelling bee all helped keep our school district in touch with the community. The Riverhead Country Fair will continue in the future; and from all indications, it will get better each year.

It may not seem that way to you on a Satur- day night when you have seen the movie and no one is having a party, but there is a lot more around than you think. After having lived here for most of our lives, we tend to take things for granted. Due to Riverhead‘s unique position on Long Island, an excellent combination of almost everything can be found here. To the north there is the Sound and the farms of the North Shore. To the south are the ocean and the famous, or infamous, Hamptons. New York City is 90 miles away and accessible by train. Unlike many of our neighbors to the west, Riverhead is not suburbia. With all the con- struction that is going on. Route 58 may soon Living There look like Route 112, but we are not all keeping up with the Joneses. Not everyone has an allowance, his own car, and a free ticket to col- lege. Not everyone wants to go to college. The diversity of the surrounding community lends to the diversity of the school. You will not find many schools in which a potato farmer s daughter sits between a doctor's son and a Grumman engineer's daughter. That is what makes our school so special. We have a reputa- tion for being a good school academically; however, it is not only in the classrooms that students learn. The everyday interaction among people of different backgrounds may teach us much more than a textbook ever could. Let's take advantage of all Riverhead has to offer while we are still LIVING THERE.

There is a popular, yet unappreciated art form, that over the years has flourished at our school. Some students have completely mastered this art form, and practice it daily. It requires no paint or brushes, clay or chisels. The only tools needed for a good excuse are a quick mind, a convincing delivery, and a straight face. The harshest critics of a good excuse are teachers. Their considerable experience at analyzing the best excuses that we come up with makes them an excusers most for- midable foe. Some teachers, though, are easier to get by than others. They all can be rated on a scale of 1 to 3. The I s are satisfied with the simplest excuse, like: I had to go to my locker. or You would not believe the crowd outside of un- assigned. What a jungle. The 2's need a little more convincing.

I had to make an urgent phone call and Well, I had to do a favor for Mr. Jones. The 3 s are the least endearing of the critics. They ask for passes or some form of proof that indicates that you were where you say you were when you were. Some students are able to satisfy the three because of their innate ability to forge late passes. Although our masterpieces will never be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. our craft can claim to be the most popular among the high school students of the world. Remember, the next time you are late to class, make it long, complicated, and keep a straight face.

It is a resting place for your car while you are inside exercising mind or body. It’s a place that can mean a spot of freedom in a hectic day provided you follow the rules. When empty, it is bleak and lifeless. It's a parking lot. You know, of course, that a park- ing lot isn’t just tar and yellow paint; it’s the people, the hot rods nd the social life on top of the tar. The parking lot is most active during lunch hours. Guys and gals scurry to and from cars, finally jump in one, and head off to McDonald's, only to return a half hour later waiting to hear what happened while they were gone. In the parking lot you can do a lot of observing. In front of your windshield a virtual movie is going on, and the people you know are the actors and actresses. The parking lot can even mean peace and quiet if you feel you need it. During the warmer months a big attraction of the parking lot is the music. The sound coming through on your radio is your on- ly link to the real world of fun. A parking lot is a touch-and-go spot, a temporary safety zone. It’s a refuge from teachers, pressure and enemies. It’s fun and It’s social, Aat’s why we like to BE THERE! Above — Sitting in his car waiting for the bell in- dicating the end of his lunch period is Stan Carey.

Ptriudf lo With the support of Mr Richard Suprina, this year's Pep Rally was a roaring success. WHAT MAKES YOU STAND UP AND CHEER? Those attending the 1985 Fall Pep Rally witnessed a change for the better. The entire concept of the Pep Rally has been revolution- ized. A transformation from the traditional humdrum to this year's spirited program was really something to cheer about. Many great ad- ditions helped make this Pep Rally an afternoon to be remembered. The Pep Rally began with Lisa James' beautiful rendition of the Star Spangled Banner and then the band swung right into the fight song. Curtis Highsmith, the MC. helped keep things running along smoothly. The program progressed quickly through spirited speeches by Dr. McKee and Mr. Suprina. the performances by the JV and Varsity cheerleaders, and the procession of the clubs. A very special addition to this year's Pep Rally was the coronation of the Homecoming Court during the proceedings. Tension building, the introduction of RHS's numerous sports teams got underway. Amidst much cheering, the sports people of Riverhead receiv- ed the recognition they deserved for their per- formances this fall. Quick . . . time seemed to be running out! Suddenly it was the moment everyone had anticipated all afternoon. At last the Varsity Football Team burst into the center of the gym floor. Executing a spirited play sug- gestive of their plans for the following day, the team received the applause they so well deserv- ed. The rally was wrapped up with an additional performance of Hail Riverhead, and the students flocked out of the gymnasium with an- ticipation for the day to follow. A bouquet of carnations like Daphne Latham's would add a finishing touch to anyone's day. Their last Homecoming Pep Rally seemed to b passing these seniors by, making them eager t become part of the action. « Prp Rjll To give their fellow Waves a glimpse of their play - ing finesse, the River he ad eleven staged a mock play, which included Quarterback Joey Czulada and Center Bill Hulse.

Hie Sophomores came in fourth place with their float whose theme was The Next Best Thing to Heaven is the Class of ’87.” It was well represented by two angelic members of their class. Riding atop these four handsome floats were our Homecoming Court who added to rhe spirit of pride in our school by acting as a Fine example of the RHS student body. The proces- sion of floats at half time brought loud cheers from both students and fans. A tumultuous roar resounded across the Field when the results of the judging were announced. The Seniors will remember this Homecoming Day as the best of their high school years. The results of the hard work of all the classes on their floats make it all worth while. The Majorettes, who provide a Fine performance each year, are an essential part of the spirited Homecoming tradition. On the Right WAVE LENGTH Football at Riverhead High School is on its way up ... As the season pro. gressed, fans and players realized that they had something going. Public support for varsity football this year was over- whelming. This winning season drew back to the bleachers many staunch and loyal Riverheaders, as well as many jubilant classmates of the team. Young and old alike were cheering their loudest for the Blue Waves, who brought the winning tradition back to Riverhead. The October 27. 1984 Homecoming Day- football game against Centereach displayed to perfection RHS's superb offense and defense. Both teams remained scoreless throughout the first quarter. Then early in the second quarter. Mike Lojko intercepted a Centereach pass and raced 17 yards for a touchdown, giving Riverhead the lead. Jim Roach added the extra point, putting the score at 7-0. A pass by Joe Czulada to Mike Lojko put the Blue Waves at the 19-yard line and in position for Roach's field goal, which upped Riverhead's score to 10-0 at the half. Again in the third quarter, when Rob Rattery recovered a fumble but was unable to move in for the touchdown, Jim Roach booted another field goal from the 19-yard line to put Riverhead ahead 13-0. Late in the third quarter Riverhead's offense added 7 points to the score with its best drive of the game. A handoff from Czulada to Lojko to Stromski landed the Blue Waves at the 17-yard line. Czulada once again passed to Lojko, who handed it to Smith. He was stopped at the 1-yard line. Czulada scored from the 1-yard line on a sneak, which made the score 19-0. The extra point was added by Jim Roach. The fourth quarter was packed with lots more Blue Wave action. Derrick Hoggard in- tercepted a pass and ran it in for a touchdown. With Roach's extra point, the score was 27-0. Just minutes later. Lojko intercepted and return- ed the ball 38 yards for still another Blue Wave TD. Another extra point by Roach made it 34-0. Ralph Brown followed suit only to have his touchdown called back due to a penalty. Carl Smith, however, made up for the lost time by locking up the Riverhead Eleven s victory with a TD in the last two minutes of the game. Riverhead had shut out the opposition 40-0. Not willing to miss out on any of the Homecoming excitement, students and fans watch from the stands. Breaking away for a victorious Homecoming Day, the Riverhead lineup shows its power.

The coronation of Riverhead's own royalty at the Fall Pep Rally was the beginning of what will undoubtedly become a tradition at RHS. The eight men and women honored by their fellow students through their election to the Homecoming Court on October 3 were, for the First time in recent years, publicly presented to the student body at the October 26 Pep Rally. This majestic touch produced considerable en- thusiasm. as every student cheered for their Royal Riverhead High School Homecoming Court. The procession across the gymnasium began with the introduction of the Freshman court. Peter Troyan and Julie Hubbard. Follow- ing in their path were Sophomores John Chrabolowski and Danielle Williams and Juniors Chris Kruger and Barbara Zilnicki. Amidst a royal fanfare and a roaring cheer from the crowd, the 1983 Homecoming King and Queen. Mike Lojko and Lisa Hernandez pro- ceeded across the gym to take their place among their court. This dazzling group was seated and the girls were each given flowers. Along with kisses for the girls and handshakes for the guys from Dr. McKee and Mr. DeGrasse, the 1983 Homecoming Court was presented with glittering crowns.

Suddenly, you are sitting in first period, and the morning announcements shout, Don't miss the RHS Back-to-School-Dance this Saturday night from 7-11 p.m.” Wow! Your weekend worries are over and it's time to start to plan because you know you'll BE THERE, but will your friends be? Without a moment to spare, you dash out of class the minute the bell rings. With relief you hear that your friends are as psyched about the dance as you are. Finally, it's Saturday night. You jump in the car, dressed in your sharpest clothes, ready for a night of music and dancing. When you arrive at school, it seems as though EVERYONE IS THERE! Music is bouncing off the walls, blaring the latest hits, not to mention a few breakin' tunes which give some of the guys a chance to show off. Moving to the beat gets you pretty thirsty, so you drift off to the concession stand. It oc- curs to you that if the Stu- dent Council was not THERE, the soda wouldn't be either. The Student Council co-sponsors every dance, along with one of the four classes. You drift around, socialize, and sud- denly the first notes of your favorite song are heard. You dash out on the floor and begin jumping around. After all, you didn't come here to hold up the walls! So Let's Go Crazy! (That is why you were THERE, isn't it?) 6J Diner Ounce 61 Here Today Gone Tomorrow They come and go so quickly chat what you thought was in style last week will only get you laughed at today. What am I talking about? I'm talking about fads, of course. Fads don't really Fit under the heading of fashion nor do they constitute style — at least not in the eyes of most people. Often a fad is something you thought you had to have, you wore or used once, and then you gave up in pursuit of the next brilliant sensa- tion that came along. You say you need a few examples so you can keep your eye out for something classic that isn't just a flash-in-the-pan fad? Remember these? — The totally punked-out look complete with dog collar, bracelets, and ten bandanas. — The California Valley Girl, fer shur! (Can you believe you even paid money to see a movie about that!) — Legwarmers worn with anything from the leotards they were meant to complement to the tightest pair of Jordache jeans you could Find. — Speaking of tight jeans, remember when it was virtually illegal to leave the house if your jeans weren't cutting off your circulation? I guess you get the picture. I’m certain that you could think of numerous fads that I have left unmentioned. These days the neon fad seems to be outshining any other, but will we still need our sunglasses in the halls this time next year? No way! What sneaky fad will be hiding around the corner ready to jump out and grab at least a handful of un- wary students next year? Only you will know, for you determine the mad, mad fads of the future. F� l� « Right — Helping to heat the snow, the custodians clear out the courtyard. Below — Breathtaking scenery provides a wonderful panorama for a beautiful winter’s day. Forecast: School’s Open Winter is that in- famous time of the year that offers few daily plea- sures, save the beautiful view you may receive after the first snowfall. A typical post-snowfall morning will find the ears of students glued to WRIV hoping and praying to hear the words, 'The Riverhead Schools are closed ' Unfortunately, those words seldom come. For those of us stuck in a mid-winter crisis, the day off would have been welcomed. A snowy winter day often has a certain element of ter- ror in it. Driving is dangerous if you can get the car out of the driveway and waiting for the school bus is worse. This year temperatures in mid-January reached below zero and COLD was not the word to describe it. Doors on cars froze shut, parking lots were permanent ice floes, and snow was piled high as mountains. The true shape of your friends became obscured and their faces were lot behind scarves. Try- ing to make it to a movie or even down the road to a par- ty became an ordeal worthy of comparison with climb- ing Mt. Everest. Around mid-February you might have started to wonder what fresh air is because when you went out- side. either the air was too cold to breathe or you got hit in the mouth with a snowball. Rarely is there a thaw like the one this year late in February, and snow gives way to spring-like weather. Despite what the ground hog says, the weatherman will never be able to accurately predict what is sneaking around the corner next. 66 Ml’inter Vm 67 You Had to Be There Ten. nine, eight ... finally the countdown has ended. It is Friday. 2:25 FM. the weekend has begun. Not many people leave school im- mediately for a party, but plans are in the mak- ing for the two hottest nights of the week. Sometimes weekend plans are made days in advance. In the case of something special, such as a ski trip or a concert, the plans for that weekend may have been made months in ad- vance. Why is planning so important' As always, great plans lead to great times. Therefore it is essential that the hours which comprise the ever elusive weekend be crammed with as much potential for fun as possible. Freedom is a rare thing during the school year, and the weekend is the only time when the idea of having fun is even a possibility. Everyone has their own idea of the perfect weekend. If your week is particularly hectic, you may look forward to a peaceful relaxing weekend. On the other hand, if the school week has you bored and confined to the house at night simply because you have to go to school the next day, you look forward to a loud, crazy, rockin' weekend. Seldom are these weekend ex- tremes realized. Most people settle for a movie or two, a shopping trip, a party with the gang, or a day in front of the TV. For many, the weekend is never a full 48 hrs. of rest. The weekend often promises nothing more than a chance to catch up on homework, to help mom or dad around the house, to fill out college applications or to go to work. You wonder why you ever thought the word weekend promised so much. Whatever equals the perfect weekend for you may not be someone else's ideal, but whatever the weekend brings, it is hard to say how often it lives up to its reputation. Despite its often un- fulfilled promises, the weekend will still con- tinue to be thought of as the potentially best two days of the week.

TO Homework What Not to Do in Bed The old-fashioned notion has everyone sitting up straight, feet flat on the floor, sharpened pencil in hand, for two hours a night while churning out homework. Times sure do change, don’t they? It's hard to imagine doing your homework without at least being a little comfortable. Sit in an easy chair with your feet up. Some people practice doing several things simultaneous- ly. Homework, TV, and radio are often crammed in- to the same time frame. Did you ever catch yourself writing the words of the most popular song instead of your French assignment? Perhaps the most terrible trap of all is to give in to the temptation to lie down in- stead of doing your homework. Lying on the floor might keep you awake long enough to do part of your assignment because the floor is slightly uncomfor- table.The second you sit or lie on the bed to do homework, you will most likely awaken the next mor- ning with your homework incomplete. What's so awful about homework? One does not hear many students defen- ding homework because it locks them to their desks or forces them to spend free periods in the library. There is profit from pain. Unless you are a naturally bright person, homework will be your only ticket to enforcing all those crazy concepts your teachers expect you to grasp every night. You've always known how tough it is to force yourself to do your homework but think of all the willpower you will ac- quire if you can get yourself to resist doing it in bed.

I ate so much today. I feel like such a pig! does this sound familiar to anyone Well, if you haven't said this. I'm sure you must have heard it. In the past, food has been everything from an ice breaker to a con- versation with the girl of your dreams to a ma- jor political issue. We spend many of our wak- ing and sleeping hours planning or dreaming about what mom bought this week. Generally, it's something good and fattening. Unfortunately, our hands are sometimes quicker than our minds and before we know it. we are hastily grabbing items from the refrigerator, the freezer, and the cookie jar. Sud- denly, it's too late! What you have put passed your lips has gone right to your hips. This is the point where munching out ends and dieting begins. There are many tactics used to lose weight. Some of us choose the fun-route — exercise. Perhaps that is because aerobics instructors make it look so easy! It is an excellent outlet for anxiety, as well as a passage to peeling off the pounds. If it were only that easy! For most of us, however, a reduction in our daily calorie in- take is also necessary. Dieticians and fitness ex- pens tell us to take a close look at our eating habits and ask ourselves the question. What and when do you eat.'” This does not mean that pizza and ice cream are out forever. On the con- trary, when eaten with a little self-control, they become a special treat. And they actually expect us to believe that! The real secret to dieting is ... I'm not sure if I should let the cat out of the bag. O.K.. the real secret is self-control because being hungry is all in the mind. Your brain is the headquaners for everything else. Get your mind in shape FIRST, then work on that body. Before you know it, you'll look fantastic. So let’s get started ... One, two, one two ... After an apparently successful transplant operation, William Schroeder suffered from a stroke but seemed to be recovering fairly well. As only the third artificial heart recipient, Murry Hay don joined the ranks of the most ex- clusive x club in the world. Baby Fae was not as fortunate. After receiving a baboon's heart, she lived a few months but her body eventually — rejected the implant. One Small Step for Man . . . In the field of science and tech- nology. more ad- vances were made - this year than L seemed possible, •w Along with those advances came publicity and con- troversy. One of this year s events has already af- fected many of us in Riverhead. As the Space Shut- tle's voyages became more frequent, President Reagan announced the first civilian to go into space would be a teacher. Mr. Jester immediately became interested. Although, at first many thought it was only another of his jokes, it soon became obvious that Mr. Jester was very serious. A campaign originated and eventually evolved into the BIOS Club — Bob Jester Into Outer Space. As of late February, the project was still in its first stage. All of Mr. Jester's credentials are being reviewed and now all that can be done for a while is wait When the wait is over, the Commissioner of Education will have selected two participants from all of New York State. In the meantime, Mr. Jester and the BIOS Club are working to make Bob Jester a name everyone will remember. They have succeeded in doing so, while also raising money to fund further publici- ty. Mr. Jester will know by April 50th if he is one of the two fortunate teachers from New York State who will proceed. By midsummer, the selection will be reduced from 120 applicants to 10. Out of those 10, five will be chosen to attend NASA's training session and finally, it will be reduced to two people; the astronaut and the alternate. Mr. Jester hopes to be getting a telegraph or phone call from Governor Cuomo fu in the near future. He is very enthusiastic, I really think I'm going to get chosen.'' He thinks one of the most positive aspects of the ex- perience would be coming back to Riverhead and telling students what really goes on in outer space. He hopes to learn enough about the en- tire Space Program and to make enough con- nections all over the country to be able to ad- vise students on where and how to become in- volved in any aspect of the program. Hopefully his enthusiasm and positive attitude will lead to the realization of his dream. Even if he is not selected, we all know he tried his best. Mr. Jester made the papers right alongside other pioneers. The second and third recipients of artificial hearts received much publicity. The operations were performed on William Schroeder and Murry Haydan at Humana Hospital in Louisville. Kentucky. The Jarvik-7 heart and the implant processes arc still in the experimental stage. The practice has brought forth many valid questions. Who will be eligible to receive the heart i Who will pay for it? There is a tremendous fee required to perform the operation. Will only wealthy people be able ro finance it.' Is medicine becoming big business' Only the future holds the answer to these questions. Another issue that raised much controversy was the Baby Fae case. Born with a very deformed heart, the child known only as Baby Fae , was given a baboon’s heart. She survived the implant operation and did surprisingly well for a short time. Her body eventually rejected the baboon heart as a foreign body and died. This case remained topical for many months as her progress was charted by the media. Much controversy surrounded the entire operation. Was it some kind of cruel experimentation.' Who has the right to choose life or death — the government or the parents' What about the animals' This year brought many scientific and technological accomplishments. As often hap- pens in science, new discoveries and answers to old questions only posed new questions that must still be answered. Above — Riverhead really made the news when Magee Hickey of the Channel 7 news interviewed Mr. Jester and some members of BIOS, Bonnie Glaseman in particular.

For those of you who were eager to please a sweet tooth for Valentine's Day there were lollipops, sweethearts, and candy kisses, all of which were delivered for quite a modest price to whomever you pleased. Red. white, and pink were everywhere in the halls displayed in outfits, greeting cards and flowers. Many lucky people were remembered by their friends in special ways either with homemade cards or homemade fudge. Just an extra special hello was enough to make this Valen- tine's Day worth remembering. Of course Valentine's Day does bring with it some shocks, hence our title. The radio blissfully announces that a record of 42 divorces were performed on Valen- tine’s Day. Personally, I prefer heart failure due to happiness. I'm sure that if love were a disease many of the students of RHS would have been to see the doc- tor after the February 14, 1985 splash of fun and surprises passed through our halls.

Valrmmr � tht T Born in the USA An entire year is something that cannot easily be summed up in a sentence or two. If we took a poll, we would pro- bably discover that no two people felt exactly the same way about this year. In fact, the same person might not feel the same way if we asked him or her at two different times. What can easily be said about this year is that it s been a busy one. On the political scene, the President Election of 1984 proved to be one that will go down in history. After the showdown between Gary Hart and Walter Mondale, it was clear who would represent the Democratic Party in November of 1964. Walter Mondale did his best and made history when he chose Geraldine Ferraro to be his running mate. As the first woman to hold that honor. Ferraro proved to be strong and dedicated. It was not enough, however, and Mon- dale lost to Reagan. Reagan was easily re-elected for a second term, making history as our oldest President. In foreign affairs, we finally returned to negotiations with the Russians. Secretary of State. George Shultz met with Foreign Minister Andre Gromyko in Geneva in early January. The two men did discuss a wide variety of topics, in- cluding arms control and Reagan's star wars proposal. The Middle East continued to appear in the news. Although Israel withdrew from Lebanon in mid February, that conflict has yet to be completely resolved. The fighting in Nicaragua escalated and that area became the political hot spot in the world. India received more attention this year than in the past ten years combined. The world was hor- rified when Indira Gandhi was assassinated in late October by one of her own Sikh body guards. Her son. Rajiv Gandhi, was sworn in immediately and tried to keep the peace. All over the world, people of the Sikh religion lived in fear for their lives. Not too much later. A leak in a chemical plant in Bhopal. India killed more than 2.000 peo- ple within 2 days. The world was outraged once again. On the lighter side. India became one of the biggest topics in the entertainment business. A Passage to India was nominated for 7 Academy awards. PBS aired a fourteen week series called The Jewel in the Crown . People became familiar with India, real and fictionalized. Not all of the news of this year was bad. Bishop Tutu of South Africa won the Nobel Peace Prize for his work in easing apartheid in his country. The summer Olympics in Los Angeles were a huge success. The United States had its glory and walked away with the most gold medals. The Olympics, among other things, in- stilled a pride in our country that had long been lacking. In entertainment, one of the summer s biggest successes. Ghostbusters. began a busters cam- paign that hit everything from thirstbusters to gridlock busters in New York City. The Jacksons Victory Tour grossed millions of dollars. Taking Michael Jackson's place as reign- ing Pop King, however, was Prince. This was his year as the movie and sound track Purple Rain became a huge success. Another superstar, was Eddie Murphy. After leaving Saturday Night Live, he excelled in Beverly Hills Cop , an in- stand hit that shot Murphy to superstardom. In all respects, this year had something to offer everyone. It was the year of Reagan and the good old US Of A. India. Eddie Murphy, and Olympic glory. Hopefully, it was also the year for you. Right — Among the many blockbuster films this year wa ”Ghostbusters ” which included this team of spook hunters.

TV Ye « in Rev� � N PARTICIPATING THERE Not everyone is an athlete, a workaholic, or a home body. What do all those other peo- ple do at 2:30? The many clubs and organizations found here at Riverhead High School help fill that void known as the after- noon. The idea of going home, eating, and watching General Hospital does not appeal to everyone. However, it's not everyone's idea of fun to sweat bullets for three hours at practice either. Clubs are an alter- native. Some require little commitment; some may take all of your free time. Chances are you can get as involved as you like. Has Broadway always been a dream of yours? Why not join Blue Masques or Sound Waves? This year's production of Murder on the Nile looks promising, and the Show Choir seems very impressive. Mathletes and Mr. Kozyra's Writing Workshop are just two ex- amples of ways to extend the academic day involved in subjects that interest you. Although it has dwindled in size and this year's record high temperature has not helped, the Ski Club is alive and well. If you feel you would like to offer your ser- vices to the community as a whole. Interact or Key Club would be ideal. Interact is affiliated with Rotary and Key Qub with Kiwanis. These two clubs go out into Riverhead and represent our entire school district. General Hospital is not the only answer to a dull afternoon. The opportunities are waiting for you, but you have to BE THERE to BE INVOLVED. Above — James Wilcox satisfies his hunger at the concession stand run by the Student Council. Top — Hard work and prac- tice help the Sound Waves produce an interesting and entertaining program for the benefit of the school and the community.

Bottom — The guest speaker for the swearing in of new members was Lizette Hand, the advisor of the first honor society. No Small Affair Forty years of academic excellence were celebrated on February 25, 1985. It is hard to believe but the Riverhead Chapter of the Na- tional Honor Society is as old as most of your parents! In honor of this anniversary the members of the Honor Society sifted through the secretary's notes from as long ago as 1948. searching for past members who were now teaching in the Riverhead school district. Twelve were discovered and several of them were able to attend the ban- quet. The highlight of the evening was the speech by the honored guest. Miss Hand, the first advisor of the Riverhead chapter. Both old and new members were in atten- dance. Despite the fact that this banquet is an annual event this year was a special one. Now, that you have heard about the highlight of the Honor Society year are you wondering what goes on normally. ' The Honor Society chooses two members each year to change the sign in front of the school. This year Anne Denys and Sharon Worthington took charge. As a whole the group helped out at the 8th grade orienta- tion night. On the lighter side, the Honor Society took its annual trek into NYC. This year was Mrs. Van Scoy s first year as ad- visor and working with her were officers Erin Conklin, president, Ann Warner, vice- president, Ann Marie Stasiukiewicz, secretary, and Marc Van Scoy, treasurer. IM ll.mor Soorfv Put Your Best Foot Forward! Anyone interested in extending his academic day into the after school hours can get involved in any of the four clubs whose goal is learning. The Math Gub is not only a group of students interested in sharing their math skills, it is a group of quiet, intelligent people who compete against other schools in the Mathlete League. The Mathlete advisor is Mr. Sisson. The Library Gub is not only an academic club, it is a service organization dedicated to keeping our library in shape. Students in- volved in the Library Gub donate part of their day to working at the circulation desk and replacing returned books to their proper place. Not only do the club members enjoy what they are doing, they provide a valuable source of help to the Librarian. A new and unique club has just begun this year. It is Mr. Kozyra's Writing Workshop. It is as much a club as it is a meeting of the minds. Students interested in creative writing, those seeking help on their college essays. or those who just want to listen and enjoy the compositions of others participate in this workshop. All works of art are subject to criticism, and everyone's opinion is valued. Feel free to exercise your own creative genius at this very entertaining workshop. There has not been a Science Gub as such this year. What has taken its place is a unique and hard working group of students whose aim is to send Mr. Jester into space. This group calls itself B. I. O. S. (Bob in Outer Space.) They keep themselves busy obtaining the signatures of community members who support Mr. Jester's endeavor. In case you did not catch it. Mr. Jester hopes to be the one teacher from the USA to ride the space shuttle in 1986. Academics is not usually a synonym for enjoyment; but as a member of an academic club, you can combine the two in a ratio pleasing to you.

Bottom — Two of the many trophies received for excellence in the business field went to Andrew Korus, and Darlene Miloski. They Mean Business Business is the usual but not the only topic of conversation in the business club DECA. DECA is a group of students who may take business classes during the day and are interested in trying out their skills in competition. One requirement of the club is that the members participate in the selling of candy in order to help finance the many trips that DECA makes to competitions around the country. This year they hope to send some of their students to San Francisco. DECA also runs the school store where students can purchase items ranging from a plain old pencil to the latest flavor Slush Pup. (Have you tried Bahama Mama yet?) VICA is a vocational club open to the students who are taking a career program at BOCES as a part of their schedule. The members of the club participate in competi- tion in their fields which can range from cabinet making to the recitation of an essay about what the student feels that VICA means to them. If the student places in the local competition they may get to go to the Concord Hotel to compete with students from other areas. BOCES students can ex- tend their involvement in their career to in- teraction with other students possessing the same goals as them. The business world can be a confusing place to anyone, even those who are in- terested in making it a part of their future. There is no better way to meet the world head on and get to know your possible future business associates than to join a business or vocational club such as DECA or VICA. M.

It’s a Small World Arc you interested in expanding your foreign language experience into the after- school hours.-' Why not get yourself in- volved in one of our four foreign language clubs: Latin, German, Spanish, or French. The Latin Club, now run by Mr. Gorman, is open to any scholar of Latin. The Latin Qub stationery sale was one of their ac- tivities. The proceeds will help to defer the cost of attending the Latin convention in Binghampton. This year Mr. Gorman is planning a trip to Italy. The event of the year for the German Club is the foreign exchange with Uctersen, West Germany, which is now entering its fourth year. The German Club also visited the United Nations with the French Qub. The activities of the German Qub are aimed at gaining a better under- standing of the world of American-German interaction. Students studying French or Spanish can also be involved in these respective clubs. The French Club, advised by Mrs. Nystrom, has already made one culturally centered trip to NYC and is planning another one in the spring. The Spanish Club, advised by Mrs. Garcia-Gomez, had one successful trip to Spain during 83-84. Perhaps there will be another trip in the future. Looking for an opportunity to become in- formed about other cultures and languages? Get involved in any of the four language clubs and see how much fun it can be.

Bottom — These smiling faces attended the Fall Pep Rally spon- sored and arranged entirely by the Student Council and volunteer members from the stu- dent body. Who's Running The Show? The members of Student Council are leaders of the student body. Perhaps that is why the Student Council is the leading club in productivity and organization. Amidst the rigors of maintaining order and trying to remember that work can be fun. the Student Council reaches out in many ways to give the school and communi- ty the best deal possible. The Student Coun- cil co-sponsors and organizes every dance with the help of one of the four classes. Pep Rallies are also Student Council territory, as are Spirit Week. Homecoming, and the foot- ball field concession stand. This year the Student Council has tried to develop a working relationship with the teachers. At the beginning of the year a faculty breakfast meeting was held. The Stu- dent Council also strives to help keep peace among clubs by regulating fundraising. Community service is another part of the Student Council plan of action. The most successful community event of the year was the Halloween Monster Mash, which was organized to keep kids safe from the tricksters. The Student Council has also planted bulbs for townscape to help beautify the town. They helped brighten the days of the children who had to spend Christmas in the hospital. Student Council is an all-around action club. A happy medium between hard work, leadership and fun is the goal of all the members of this very active club. Who's Running The Show? (cont.) Even the greatest class needs leaders. They need individuals who will head them in the right direction and get them organized. This part is played by the class officers of each grade. These students are elected at the end of each school year for the following one. The Freshmen hold their elections during the first few weeks of school. There are four officers whose duty it is to act as mediators for the rest of the class. They act as the communication line to the administration, the other three classes, and the Student Council. Class officers can be counted on to keep you informed about class events and events of the entire school in which your class can play a part. Class officers preside over class meetings, help plan float meetings, discuss future projects with the advisor and maintain a record of the finances of the class. The opportunity to be a class officer is open to anyone, so if you're looking for a chance to be a little more involved in your class, especially if you are interested in leadership, why not run for election' You just might end up President . . .

Very often the name of the game for the members ot the ski club is long bus rides in order to get in just a few hours of skiing. Unfortunately, this year's weather offered few opportunities for the ski club to even consider organizing a trip. December was unseasonably warm, as was much of February. Only January offered snow, in any abundance, and very frigid winds. Even then, however, the ski club had trouble getting enough people to Fill a bus. Unless you happened to be able to ski with your family, this year offered a tough outlook for the average skiier who longed for the crazy bus rides and the wild days spent on school ski trips with Mr. Jester. It was not the lack of individuals longing to live on the slopes which caused this skiless season here but maybe a com- bination of the weather and the many other com- mitments which confront the average kid these days. There is still a small amount of hope tht one last trip will materialize after this story is completed (I hope so). I'd have to say that the motto for this year's ski club wouldn't be. It's tough at the top , but rather, It's tough to get to the top if you never reach the mountain . Better luck next year and best wishes for the winter of any ski bum's dreams!

Two of our many clubs, the In- teract Club and the Key Club, play an impor- tant and prominent role in community service. The Interact Club was founded in September of this year with the help of the Riverhead Rotary Club and Mrs. Jackolski. Its first goal is to raise money to install a flagpole at the football field. Interact has in- itiated many fundraisers, including the '50- 50” raffle at home football games, the sale of Gummi bears, and the sale of Christmas or- naments. All the funds from these endeavors will go toward the purchase of the flagpole. The Interact Club met this challenge with great enthusiasm and the knowledge that through hard work they can improve our community. The officers of this year's In- teract Club are Doreen Blasko (Secretary), Ann Warner (Treasurer), Connie Doremus (Vice-President), and David Baker (President). The Key Club, one of Riverhead High School's most popular clubs, has long been a cornerstone of community service. The Pancake Breakfast is an annual Key Club function at Polish Hall. On this day the Key Club works in concert with its sponsor, the Kiwanis Club. Visits to the Perkins Adult Home are also a frequent service performed by the Key Club. We look forward to seeing even more of the Key Club in the communi- ty in the future. This year's officers are Lisa Dannenburg (President), Ann Ciruzzo (Vice- President), Connie Doremus (Treasurer), and Chris Smith (Secretary).

Are you aware that you can actually participate in theater, art, and a sing-and-dancc group here in Riverhead High School? The drama club. The Blue Masques, provides the opportunity for you to im- merse yourself in the world of theatre. You can choose to remain out of the spotlight and become the technical genius behind the set. or you can take part in the auditions and try out for the lead in the production. Even if you do not become the star, you can begin to learn the intricacies of acting. Why not start with this year's play. Murder on the Nile?” The Art Club offers anyone in- terested in art a chance to do more than just attend an art class. In the An Club you are free to express yourself through various art forms. The Art Club also has a practical objective. They decorate the windows of the school store, the main office, and the nurse's office for the Christmas holiday season. They also painted a mural which was displayed at the Riverhead Country Fair. Do you think singing and dancing to be a lot of fun? That's what par- ticipating in the Sound Waves has to offer. You can be a part of a great group of people who dedicate their Wednesday nights to shaping up their routines. They perform at all regular school concerts, and they take part in competition designed for groups of that type.

SWEATING THERE And the Beat Goes on Waves Bring Home Crown Riverhead Rallies Behind Waves Blue Waves Humble Amityville Yes, folks, the mighty Blue Waves made the headlines more than once this year and with good reason. For the first time in eleven years, the Riverhead football team went undefeated until the league play-offs against Hampton Bays. The quality of our team spirited the en- tire community. The number of spectators increased noticeably and at one away game at Bayport, our team had more spectators than the home team did. All those grueling hours of practice really paid off. Although football cap- tured the hearts of many, it was by no means the only Riverhead sport. The Girls’ Field Hockey team captured Second place in League V. The girls fought hard only to lose a heartbreaking game to Babylon 2-1. There were the die-hard soccer fans, and it looks like next year's varsi- ty team will be one of the best River-head has seen. Though not one of the most glamorous sports at Riverhead, the golf team was alive and doing well. The Girls’ Tennis team had their best season in several years. The Cross Country team had an exceptional year and participated in one of the major invitational meets. All the Blue Waves are to be commended. They have revived a school pride and spirit that had been mortally wounded by two years of austerity in 1979 and I960. Games became major social events again. It was difficult to go through a full day without hearing the latest about the seasons sport. The entire town was proud of the Blue Waves and sup- ported us all the way. From wrestling to baseball and field hockey to volleyball. Riverhead proved that, once again, we are the mighty Blue Waves. Above — Donning her goalie uniform, Judy Fuchs prepares for a match.

Excellence By the Yard How about a well-deserved round of applause for the 1984 Varsity Football team? Thanks to the efforots of All-County gridders Mike Lojko, John Kacherski, and Carl Pace the team finished the regular season with a 7-1-1 record, good for their first League V title in ten years. The Blue Waves' of- fense, the most potent in the coun- ty, scored 231 points during the regular season. The offense, coupled with a quick, oppor- tunistic defense, led the Waves in- to the playoffs against Hampton Bays. In their first playoff game, the Waves met with their first defeat of the year. 14-6. The team's success during the regular season should not be over- shadowed by their playoff lost. The Waves came out smoking in their first game, beating Harbor- fields 32-6. The only blemish on the team's regular season record was a 6-6 tie at Miller Place. The homecoming game, against Centereach. was won convincingly by the Blue Waves, 40-0. The head coach, Mr. Herzog, and his staff, along with their fine players, are to be congratulated. You gave us a great year, and RHS is proud of each of you. The J.V. football finished up their campaign with a 5-3 0 record. The fire power for coach McKillop's team was provided by quarterback Jeff Bogdan and run- ning backs, Reggie Moore and James Trent. Many of the Waves' scoring op- portunities were set up by their swarming defense, comparable in style to that of the Varsity team. It looks as if we have another league champ in the making! GO WAVES!

Led by Coach Barosa, the girls finished the regular season with a 7-2-2 record, good for 2nd place in League V and advanced to the playoffs. The girls won their first playoff game, a heart-stopping 3-2 decision over Miller Place, in a kickoff. This victory carried them to the county championship game against Babylon. In the final, the girls played a strong game, but came up short with a 2-1 score. The team was led by All-County performers Kim Brown and An- drea Pekar, with Sue Heinze receiv- ing honorable mention. Seniors Lisa James. Sharon Worthington, and Theresa Jarzombek all were steady performers and will surely be missed next year. The Waves will still be looking for at least a repeat of this year's success when next season rolls around. Coach Bartosa and all the team members are to be congratulated on their fine effort this year. Based on their performance of this year, theJ.V. has the makings of a strong varsity team. Along with returning starters Andrea Pekar and Sue Heinze from this year's varsity team, theJ.V. will be sending up some fine players to the varsity next year. Three-goal scorers Stacy Yakoboski and Tracy Mickoliger. Sarah Harrison, and goalie Judy Fuchs led theJ.V. to a 4-3-2 record. Our congratulations to Coach Linko and the girls on a fine year and good luck on varsity.

Born to RUN Full of desire and youthful en- thusiasm. the Girls' Cross Country team, led by Ann Cirruzzo, Cindy Lowell, Darlene Miloski. Lisa Franz, and exchange student, Melanie Strella, Finished the 1984 season in Second Place in League VII. The girls won Five meets and lost three over the regular season — a great improvement over last year’s one and seven record. The times of individuals were signiFicantly reduced in the 5 kilometer race being Darlene Miloski's 21:59. Next year prom- ises to be an even better year for the girls as most of the team's best runners will be returning to RHS. (Senior Ann Cirruzzo will be sorely missed.) Cara Conklin and Jane Winkcl should contribute to the team in the coming years. One thing surely can be said of the Girls' Cross Country — You have arrived!!! 1984 was a rebuilding year for the Boys' Cross Country team. Hav- ing to compete in League VI did help the young Blue Wave runners gain valuable experience. The team was led by Senior Jim Warner. Junior Walter Olsen, and Sophomore Kenny Woodson. Walter Olsen had the team's best time, 17:47, in the 5000-meters at Sunken Meadow. Outstanding team performances were turned in at the Rocky Point and Peconic In- vitational, where the team Finished in Fourth and Fifth Place respec- tively. Congratulations to all the runners on a superb effort! Way to go! CroMCownm III Left — ... And into the final turn heads Jim Warner. Above — Giving it her all in the final stretch is Cara Conklin. On the Green In its second season, the Boys' Varsity golf team, had a strong 1984 campaign. Playing on a tough course (Fox Hill Golf and Country Club) helped the team tremendously. Led by senior Jim Crowley and Sophomore Mark Roberts, Coach Lambiase's Linksters Finished up the year with three wins and nine losses. The most encouraging aspect of the season was the improvement of the younger players. It is easy to see that the golf team has a bright future as seven of the ten members of this year’s team were underclassmen. As the season progressed, the improve- ment of these players became evident as their scores became lower and lower. (In golf, the lower the score the better.) The team's finest hour came at the conference tournament. Under pressure, the WAVE golfers recorded their lowest score of the year. If this season's performance is any in- dication of what lies ahead, Riverhead's golf team will be a competitive one for a long time. Fore!!

This year's team boasts a balanced attack, which is set up by the Blue Waves' fast break. This senior-led team will try to improve on last year's 11-7 record. The loss of All-League players Layne Fields, Darrell Mayo, and Keith Brown surely hurt the Waves, but players like Marc Mack and John Stromski, have done an excellent job in filling these gaps. Due to the lack of height, re- bounding is not one of the team's strong points, quickness and desire on the defensive end have offset this liability. Flaying in League V, the Waves will have to overcome Bellport. Miller Place, and Port Jef- ferson to win the League title. This year's team looks capable of attain- ing that elusive goal.

This years team, led by senior co- captains Stan Carey and Chris Heinze, had four wrestlers qualify for the county tournament. Coach Stewart felt that the team showed great improvement in dual meets, as the team’s record improved from last year's 6-12 dual meet mark. Though League VI is one of the most competitive on Long Island, Coach Stewart has indicated that with eight returning lettermen the squad should be able to move up in the standings next season. Hopefully, with an additional year of experience, some of the close losses suffered this year will be vic- tories next year. Standout wrestlers on this year's team were Willy Walker, David Nash, Stan Carey, Jeff Blom, and Chris Kruger, all of whom placed in the top four positions in the league. Of those five, only Stan Carey is a senior. If the Waves can improve their tournament record next year, the Blue Waves will become tidal waves in League VI. Wrestling RHS vt. Matt nock RHS VI.

Penny Bloss, Tonya Jeffer- son, Kim Brown, and Donna Lo- jko. The new players are: Freshmen Diane Apicello, Sandy Sargent, and Julie Hubbard, Sophomore Karen McDonald. Juniors Tina Trotman and Crystal Allen, and Seniors Vonda Foreman and Frederika Miles. The team had to shuffle posi- tions around this year because of the tragic death of Maureen Hat- torff. Last year's All-League third baseman is now behind the plate. Last year's All-League first baseman is now in centerfield. The strength of the team is in there batting. They have a solid line-up. Their weakness is in the Field. The team has alot of new members that are not experienced in the Field. This year will be Coach Trian- diflou's Fifth year coaching soft- ball. His goal for the team, as it is for many other coaches, is to make the play-offs. He feels the team is qualified to do just that.

Peanuts and Crackerjacks Every year, the inevitable arrival of Spring is accompanied by the start of another season of our na- tional pastime, baseball. With the way things look now. it could be a great baseball year for RMS. This year's varsity baseball team boasts a strong pitching staff, led by seniors Joe Czulada and Mike Lo- jko. and a potent offense, powered by the likes of shortstop. John Stromski (all league in '84), Greg Polak. Tom Thompson, and Lo- jko. The tough League VI schedule which includes season favorites Heliport and Sayville, could present problems for the RMS nine, whose most glaring weakness is a lack of depth. The team opened its season by splitting two non-league games against Hampton Bays and East Hampton, respectively. The League VI cam- paign began on a good note, as the Waves crushed Rocky Point. 18-6. If this kind of hitting keeps up and the pitching remains strong, the Waves have an excellent chance of making the playoffs. So the next time you pass by the baseball field and hear the crack of the bat ac- companied by the screams of the spectators, you will know that a Wave has hit that ball Ol'TTA MERE' Above Waiting to unleash his hatting power, Kevin Rempe stands poised at the plate. 15i HmrHdl Left During a warmup.

Coach Stupke is a familiar face to everyone as the boy's physical education teacher in Pulaski Street School. The co-captains of this year's team are brothers, Roger and Chris Lao. The seventeen member team consists of four seniors, two juniors, six sophomores, and five freshmen. The number one player on the team is sophomore and co-captain Chris Lao with a (2-1) record. Coach Stupke commented that the players are ranked Chris Lao (1), Roger Lao (2), Mark Campanelli (3). and Matthew Yakabosli (4). The season starts April 29. However, practice began March 3. The team had three scrimmages with a 2-1 record. They played Southampton (5-2) W. Mercy (7-0) W, and Mattituck (3-4) L. Unfor- tunately, their match with Southold was cancelled due to the weather. It's a young team with alot of sophomores and freshmen. That will strengthen the team in the up- coming years.” Coach Stupke is very optomistic about the season. He is pleased that newcomers Ted Baxter and Brian Rowe are holding third doubles spot in close competition with Chris Reeve. Robert Schoenhaar, and Mark Roberts. I expect the team to do even better than last year!” Above — Caught in action. Teddy Baxter, displays his efforts to make con- tact with the ball.

Coached by Bill Husing, the girl's track team has won both of their meets against Port Jefferson and Easthampton. The team spirit is good and it's a great feeling, Coach Husing said. We had our first winning season last year, and I think we are heading in that direction again this season.” Team effort is exceptional, and some individuals are really show- ing their colors. Moira McCartin and Darlene Parsons are already proving to be great assets to the team as freshmen. Sophomore Lin- da Brown is continuing to do well, as is Darlene Miloski. Cindy Lowell is having a winning season in both the 400 meter race and the intermediate hurdles as a junior. Senior captains, Ann Cirruzzo and Karen McCartin are also off to a good start in this, their last season. What I'd really like to sec us do is improve even more over last year's effort and take the Leagues, he said. The season has begun as a winner and the League title is definitely within our grasp. I think this just could be the year!' The boys track team has a beginning season to match the girl's. They have won both of their meets against Rocky Point and Port Jefferson, putting them in first place in League VI. Carl Smith has improved greatly in the long jump and the 100 meter dash as a sophomore. Juniors Bob- by Riddick, Steve Guyer, and Walter Olsen are also individuals who have had consecutive wins in the quarter mile, half mile and two mile races, respectively. Senior and co-captain Dwayne Harris is mak- ing his last season a memorable one with wins in the 110 high hurdles, as is Chris Heinze. who competed in the state champion- ships last year and hopes to repeat his performance in the pole vault. I think we have a very good chance of taking the league title this season, said Steve Guyer. We have every chance of bringing back the great track tradition we have had in past seasons.

Behind the Scenes Every season, some students make the decision to join a varsity or junior varsity team while others avoid such activities like the plague. For those who do become team members, the love of their sport and the possibility of that one moment of glory make all the time worthwhile. For those not in- volved with any teams, the thoughts of practice and injury seem ridiculous. There must be some validity to these activities, however, because every season, we see more and more students giving up their time to the cause. Those of us not athletically in- clined sometimes feel that the players are just naturals ; that they probably do not need prac- tices everyday. Andrea Pekar, who is a member of both the Field hockey and softball teams as well as the manager for the girl’s basketball team, sees a lot of im- provement during each season's practices. Andrea has attended Field hockey and softball camp during the summer. Alot. about half of the field hockey team went to camp at Rutgers. We made the playoffs two years in a row and beat the number one seeded team in Suffolk, so I guess it helped!” Many sacriFices are made by all team players. The game you watch is a kind of Finished product. It may come as a surprise to some that football practice starts during the third week in August. When asked why he's willing to give up the last weeks of summer vacation for football. Richie AdinolFi said. I guess it’s just love of the sport. Otherwise, nobody in their right mind would wake up at six and be on the track and running by seven. Even more sacriFices are made dur- ing wrestling season. Richie describes the common practice of making weighr as this: Say you have a match on Friday and you're six pounds over. The First day you say, I can make it by Friday and you chow down as usual. Then, all of a sudden you only have two days to make weight. All eating stops for those two days. After you weigh in and you make weight, that is like the happiest day. You feel like stuffing half a grocery store in your mouth. Whether you’re willing to go through such pains for your mo- ment in the spotlight is up to you. Chances are, though, that at some point you will either be a partici- pant or a spectator. As a partici- pant, you will know and have sur- vived many grueling tales. Hopefully, as a spectator, you will understand and appreciate all that the team has sacrificed to get to where they are. 146 fttattmf Above — Cross-country is well known as a rigorous sport that requires in- credible self motivation.

Prutum I il IV jVSpont The Second String Just a little while ago. some of the stars of our football, basket- ball and other sport teams, were not always in the limelight. They were working just as hard and fighting just as mean on a Junior Varsity team. Competition is as fierce there as on the Varsity playing field, but too often the JV is regarded as something that somehow does not offer the same excitement. This is not true. The same hard work, determina- tion, and sweat goes into every JV touchdown scored, every JV foul shot made and every JV wrestler pinned just as it does in Varsity play. Parents of the JV squads have as much pride in their son or daughter as would the parents of a star quarterback. Not to say that good JV perfor- mances go unnoticed here. Just a few years ago the JV cheering squad was brought back. This year they have done a great job raising spirits at all the JV func- tions. With the good records of many of the teams, support will continue to grow. Keep your eye on those JV players for from among their ranks come the future stars of the Varsity teams to be . . .

Being Enthusiastic The vitality of a school can be measured by the volume of its spirit. Where does a school get this spirit At RHS the jump and pep is provided by the JV and Varsity Cheerleaders and the Majorettes. Long hours spent perfecting their performances made the football games more enjoyable. Dedication to their squads and teams for which they cheer prompted the girls to wear their uniforms each Friday, thus calling to the school's attention the upcoming game. With the motivation of these en- thusiastic girls, the 1985 Blue Waves football team reached the title of League champions. The Majorettes, assisted by the Riverhead High School band, pro- vided an enthusiastic half-time show. The devotion of these girls added an extra touch to the spirit at Riverhead High School.

Ovtairt WE WERE THERE Another year is over. Another class has com pleted all four years and another class has survived its first. What will you remember about 1985 ' Chances are, you might remember some events — dances, football games, or classes you loved or hated. After time has passed and you have forgotten the score of the Homecoming game or how much homework you had, you'll still remember your friends, your enemies, and your teachers. These are the people whose interactions make our school unique. From those who helped our budget pass, to our league champion football team, it was the people that made 1985 great. As a school, we welcomed many new faces. The freshman class entered with nearly 400 students, taking the school by storm. New teachers enriched our faculty as a whole. The Language, English and Science depart- ments all witnessed a change. We also said good- bye to one of Riverhead's greatest assets, Mr. Gas- coyne, who is now working in Albany for the State department of education. Mr. DeGrasse was pro- moted to Assistant Principal and moved his office into the Main Office. He took his new position seriously but still had time for the students. After some con- struction provided the space, Mrs. Goleski and the Atten- dance Office also move into the Main Office. The entire Attendance system is now computerized. What makes a year special is not necessarily the specific events. Every year is the last for one class and the first for another. What differentiates one year from another is the people with whom it is spent. On the following pages you will see pictures of people. Some will be familiar faces and some not so familiar. These pictures are often considered the most impor- tant aspect of the yearbook. The photographs represent people and people are the school. Were you there.

The year 1985 is still the time of your life. You're a Senior — sit back, relax, take a look at what's happened and what is to come . . . WHAT'S THAT YOU'RE SAYING? You haven't had the time of your life since fifth grade when that cute girl with the red hair finally said you could eat lunch with her? You spend the precious nights of your senior year chained to a desk writing college ap- plications. studying; and if you're lucky, sleeping. Come on, clear the mist from your brain; aren't you forgetting something? How about all those 6th period lunches spent cruis- ing with the radio blasting? I bet you didn't spend many nights at home the week of Homecoming. (Too much partying going on at the barn that couldn't be missed.) Speaking of par- ties, don't forget all those football bashes! Remember, too, all that extracur- ricular activity that sometimes felt like it should be hard work but turned out to be fun. Tom Cruise and his friends joined Future Enterprisers because they felt it would look good on col- lege applications. Likewise, many Seniors find that their last year in high school is the year to get involved. A lighter work load and the realization that it might look a little better on one's college application if one actual- ly did something, contributed to this sudden motivation. With increased participation came a little more work and many crazy times. Long after- noons of ycarbooking often led to lunacy and certain athletes can relate interesting locker room conversations.

Senior Dream 29 — Every head turns as your Porsche Hashes through the parking lot . . . Dream on, you know the only reason they turned around was because the muffler fell off your Duster. No matter what you drive (or even if you don't drive at all) the parking lot supplies the ultimate social opportunity. The monotony of the day is broken up by evenly spaced inter- vals of social interaction; in other words, passing. Quick snatches of conversation keep you updated on the day's hot prospects. Well, the Class of '85 finally made it to the Senior hall. It is noticeably less crowded down this end of the school, and the hall maintains a more relaxed . pace. No more Freshman fear of lateness! Strenuous as they may appear, classes for Seniors can often be mildly to highly amusing. Who could forget Pendulum Watching 101 (Regents Physics) or the educa- tional terminology of badminton. Certainly many Seniors can atest to the hard work and time they've put into their high school careers, while others could give you the low-down on how to do the least work and still pass. Believe me, those Seniors know the deal at RHS. After four years of grueling labor, we think we deserve a break, an ounce or two of respect, and the time of our lives.

Above — The only thing between these students and summer vaca- tion were finals! High Anxiety SAT, ACT. ACH. AP. SWAT (no. that's different — my mistake.) All those letters can become pretty confus- ing. Fortunately (or unfortunately) by the time you have taken them all. you know exactly what each and every let- ter stands for. The accuracy of the scores of these tests is a controversial subject. Many colleges say they do not pay much at- tention to SAT scores. However, when you Find out the average SAT score was 1200 at that school, you have to wonder. Just about every strategy has been implemented in trying to improve standardized test results. Some say you should study as much as possible and take all the preparatory courses of- fered. Others say not to study at all and go in with an open mind. Whatever the secret, something must have worked. SAT scores increased this year for the First time in Fifteen years. No matter how much you tried to avoid it, one thought probably flashed through your mind as you entered the test room. Within the next three hours, I will determine my entire future.” It may or may not have been quite that grave an event. All the same, there was no better feeling than walk- ing out of that room knowing you had taken a standardized test for the last time. For some extremely unfortunate few. that feeling was a false one. At one high school in Sheepshead Bay. students SAT answers were destroyed between the school and Princeton. New Jersey, where they were to be graded. That is something that should not be wished upon one's worse enemy. Anyone who has ever taken a standardized test sympathized with those students, and each of us added an extra prayer that our scores would arrive safely in New Jersey. Scmon Tnn 141 It’s a Whole New World Did you ever get the feel- ing that you were born to go to school, to have pages of information stuffed into your brain .' This type of knowledge may have lasted until test time and then you may have chosen to forget it. Sooner than you think, however, you may be in the situation of learning for life. You will be learning for the sake of making a living and making a buck You're headed for college — the elusive institution with the BIG price tag. Not only is the monetary price rather steep, take a look at the physical and mental toll. Nervous apprehension over SAT scores, raw fingers from scratching out essays, and sleepless nights spent trying to view your applica- tion from the point of view of the Harvard admissions officer. Ulcers begin at 17 when you sit through seven interviews, putting yourself on the line. Your goal is to make a good impression on the interviewer College has you straining your eyes, forever peering into the looking glass of the future. You're only looking forward and you're asking a lot of questions. Will I get in? Can you believe how much it costs' Do I really have to fill out all these forms' You feel like you're driving a plow through a mountain of paperwork. Is there any light at the end of the tunnel' It can only be hoped that all the agony will be worthwhile. Maybe you'll get accepted at the school of your choice, maybe not. Life will go on. This is a fact that many of us seem to overlook. Perhaps the path of your life wasn't headed in the direc- tion you had hoped. All the grief will reap rewards pro- vided you finally finish that essay, ace those SAT's, and escape the grips of the Guidance Office. You're the world's future; so go get 'em in style.

A Smashing Debut Smwn Ji Prom 145 The Junior Prom of the Class of '85 was the first such prom held in over ten years. Anticipation of this momen- tous event began nearly two months ahead of the proposed May date. Girls and guys alike spent several weeks deciding who would be their dream date. After taking a double dose of courage, they approached their pro- spective partner. The outcome was either one of immense relief or. Well. 1 guess I'd better try again When May 18 did finally roll around, most class members had a date to accom- pany them. The evening began with the arrival of the well-dressed couples Some couples were stranger than others, for example, those hatted gentlemen. Stan Lojko and Ralph Brown. Like any social event, the biggest preoccupation of the evening was determining who came with whom, who's dancing with whom, and why does she have on that dress! Not to be outdone by inaugural ball entertainment, food and drink were provided Ron's Records, the DJ, provided all the music and played the top hits and special re- quests Hors d oeuvres, the most pro- minent being Swedish Meatballs, were served and devoured by the guys. There was an open bar. soda (of course), where coke was served with astonishing rapidity. Lending their time, but certainly enjoying themselves were the LeCanns. the Cliftons. and Mr. McKeighan and his fiance Four hours of dance and social activity in- creased appetites, therefore when the junior prom was over, couples and groups drifted to parties, the beach, or to get a bite to eat The excitement of this historic night will live in the minds of the members of the Class of ‘85 because they were there Left — The order of the evening was en ■ oyment, which can be seen on the faces of Lisa James and Donovan Duff Joyce Lo Sc hi a to — DECA 4 Marc Mack — DECA.

Peo- ple rush maniacally to their lockers to grab their books and coats and head for home. At least that's what some of them do. Many of us head out to work the 5 to 6 shift. Work! Work! Work! Most of us would rather not, especially after a six and a half hour day in school; but it is the sole source of in- come for most of us. Fortunately, there are a variety of jobs to be found in the Riverhead area. Most of the high school students work in department stores or supermarkets such as Caldor or A P Then there are the privileged few, those who work at the local restaurants and come home smelling like the food they cook. As hard as it may be to believe, there are advan- tages to working. Money, or course, is the first advan- tage that comes to mind. Work also prepares us for some of the same respon- sibilities we ll have to face in the years to come. So, if you're working now. and can juggle your schedule, it can't hurt (much). To most of us, the disad- vantages of working seem- ingly outweigh the advan- tages. Either there's no time for schoolwork. Mom wants the house cleaned, or your girlfriend boyfriend is complaining about why you haven’t called them. Ugh! Who needs the headache.''

During the passing period. Mrs. Tyler reminded all 18-year-old guys that they were cordially in- vited to register. It was an offer that no one could refuse, mainly because it is the law. All young men have thirty days after theif eighteenth birthday to appear at the post office and sign their name. Since it was instituted in 1982. the draft has been a highly controver- sial topic. We surveyed a portion of the junior and senior classes to find out how guys felt about hav- ing to register and how both guys and girls feel about women being drafted. Senior Richard Adinoifi, who has to register in January, says, I feel the whole process is ridiculous. Involvement in the Armed Forces should be on a purely voluntary basis. Brian Van Sylke. who is a Junior, stated, It's something the country has to do to keep up the Armed Forces — to keep the country safe. I feel women should have to register too. I am not happy about it, but it's something you have to do. Fellow classmate, Chris Kruger, said, It's a worthy cause. It’s a privilege to serve the country. I don't think it's punishment. We have to fight for our rights. Don't get me wrong — war is terrible, but our fathers and grandfathers fought for our rights, and it's a worthy cause.” Senior Karen Me- Cartin doesn't think we should have the draft. It's not fair. If they don't want to go into the military, they shouldn't have to. I don't think women should have to. Senior David Lindsey will register because he has to register. However, he feels that there is no sense in it. corn to pg 150 Beverly Smtfh — DECA 4. Rent Yvette Smothers RhonJo Smothers Robert Soto EJnoheth A.

There won't be another conventional war. The next one will be nuclear. Bob Brown, also a senior, says registering is no big deal. He doesn't think women should register, though. Darlene Miloski, a Junior, says I definitely don't think women should be required to fight. I don't really know what to think because I just don't see any sense to war at all. Senior Phil Wilcox stated, It was a bad idea in the first place, but I'll register. If called to serve my country, I would. Of course. I'd rather not. I don't think women should register because the ERA has not been passed. Until it docs, women shouldn't have to register. Junior Ian Hampden says, If I registered and our coun- try went to war, I wouldn't want to go; but I would. I disagree strongly with what's go- ing on in Latin America, but I would fight for my country. When asked if she thought women should register, senior Lisa Hernandez said, “It depends on the cir- cumstances — what we were fighting for. I can't really see women going to fight, though. After having been in Colombia. South America, for a year, senior David Baker feels differently than he did. Being in a different country really makes you appreciate what you have in your native country. We have a lot of things in this country to be thankful for — a lot of things worth fighting for. I would serve my country and fight to preserve our rights. 1)0 SriMon Drik (Con ) Above — This emblem has become a familiar sight to those who have voluntarily joined our nation's Marine Corps.

Juruort Our Iron Marshmallow Iron Marshmallows are those special people on whom we can always count. They are strong, reliable, honest, sensitive, and car- ing. Riverhead High School’s mar- shmallow was Maureen. Behind the tough exterior, the brash at- titude. the tooth and nail com- petitiveness, there was a softness and sensitivity. Maureen — tough, bright, blunt, witty, low-keyed, with a fierce belief in what is right. She gave 100 percent or nothing in all she did. Maureen was a good athlete, an asset to any team on which she played — not only because of her talent, but because of her hard work and dedication. She rarely, if ever, missed a practice and made it all fun with her jokes and crazy an- tics. She could play on the same team with you for years and then hit a home run when playing against you years later. If the op- posing team scored, she never blamed others or made excuses, but freely admitted her own mistakes. If the hockey nets need- ed to be taken inside, Moe was there — no complaints, no excuses. That was the way she was with everything. Moe was more con- cerned with others than she was with herself. This included everything from helping a friend to pass English, to getting the class Homecoming float together, to be- ing one of the driving forces behind St.John's Drum and Bugle Corps for ten years. All was done unselfishly with no thought of reward or recognition. However, there was more to Maureen than school activities and sports. She was comfortable with all people, and they with her. If Moe was your friend, she was the best. No one ever needing help had to ask; Moe just pitched in. She loved taking little kids to playgrounds just to play and at the same time would beat up her older brother for get- ting home too late. She cared and was not ashamed to show it, even if you sometimes had a hard time seeing it. Maureen was all these things — friend, helpmate, mentor. She was hardest on herself and would always strive to make herself bet- ter, but never at the expense of others. Tough on the outside and soft on the inside. Maureen — our Iron Marshmallow. Manaen.

How often can you boast of the type of friendship that you read about in greeting cards? To a special friend” ... To whom would you send a card with that message printed in it? A likely can- didate would be that stalwart com- panion you've had since childhood who shared kindergarten, birthday parties, new bikes, high school, and cars with you. Though you may have at times gone your separate ways, you still remain loyal and true. Often a newly- formed friendship is one which stands out as being caring and in- teresting. That kind of relationship is hard to find you say? A smooth friendship is difficult to maintain and often real friendship may be confused with the fake.” The fake may be hiding anywhere, behind the face of that girl who is suddenly interested in your love life because she's after your boyfriend, or that guy who has taken to chatting with you in the hall because he has a wild crush on your best friend. That is a side of friendship best left alone. Ralph Waldo Emerson once said. The only way to have a friend is to be one.” If you are discontented with the friends you have take some advice from a poet. If you like someone show it! Don’t let friendship become confused with infatuation. Sure, there's lots of affection between friends; but if you suddenly find that you have a tremendous attraction for the boy or girl across the street, take it easy because what may have been a great friendship, may make a terri- ble love affair. Friends are a difficult topic to put in a nutshell but it is easy to remember — that what you give to a friendship you will undoubtedly get out of it. Get your plan in ac- tion and work at making and keep- ing those friends. You've got lots of great memories in store. 1 ave Bekhe� . Owen Bckhci Kmm Bril Anitwirttr S lv«a BurrtUini. Mrvrn BrmorrUo.

Tinvi IW Sophomore� VCR The One to Watch What! A VCR?;' Let me sit down. Now try again. My parents, the ones who refuse to learn how to use the toaster oven, want to buy a VCR? We re always the last family to have any of that kind of stuff. I guess I'd bet- ter just shut my mouth and go with them though. This may be temporary insanity. At the department store we are always at the mercy of the salesman. Two-head, four-head, front-loading, top-loading . . . Wait! We just want to watch movies! What is all this stuff? VCR’s are not all that simple. They are the latest fad though. No, hula-hoops were a fad. VCR's are here to stay! It is predicted that within the next five years, VCR’s will be as common as televisions and toaster ovens. Some homes already have more than one. The video tape market has ex- ploded in the past two years, and it continues to grow. With the prices of a movie in theatres at $4.50 (plus another $4.50 for your date and $5.00 for pizza after- wards) who can afford to see a movie every week? With a VCR, you rent two tapes a night; and the popcorn is free! c sn pjws. ■ - -+ SONY Now playing. Hundreds of Hi-Fi movies VHS doesn’t have Sophomoct� V R 119 To Stay or to Go That Is the Question! Ever get a Big Mac attack right in the middle of Geometry, or perhaps it was for a Whopper or a Roast Beef Sandwich. If you prefer deli food, that's O.K. too. Whatever your pleasure, Riverhead has something to offer when you're running on empty; and your stomach has something to say about it. Pizza. Bagel Nook, Dunkin' Donuts and a deli (just to name a few) are all places within walking distance. If you're lucky enough to have a car or a friend with a car, the choices are infinite. Oh yes, the freedom of choice is there. Will it be the drive-up win- dow today, or should we walk in? Should we stay or should we go? Decisions, decisions! This year could be named Na- tional Fast Food Year. McDonald's celebrated its M) millionth hamburger, and the com- petition had to keep up. Where's the Beef ' and a little old lady made advertising history for Wendy’s. Based on Riverhead High School students alone, fast food places in Riverhead could maintain a thriving business. It's impossible to walk into McDonald's or Burger King at noon without see- ing half of your class in line; but are they staying, or are they going? That is the question. Abbrunu.

Michael Being Alone Every now and then we all need to be alone, to escape. The pressure of school, homework and the other eleven-hundred students in the school can just become too much. That’s the time we all need a place to ourselves. It doesn't have to be quiet. It could be a place where you can blast your stereo. It could be a place that no one else knows about, where you can just do anything. W«ll, I think that when I put on music, I'm not alone, Mia Ringblom. Music always makes me feel happy; to do it yourself or just listen. Probably the best drug you can find is music. When I’m alone I think, decided Erin Conklin. '7 like to relax, put things in perspective, and try to convince myself things are not as bad as I think they are, mused David Baker. Being alone and being lonely are not the same thing. You can be alone and feel very happy and content. You can also be surrounded by friends and feel lonely. It's all a state of mind, but it's something we've all ex- perienced and something we all need. 162 fmfc nen Brin|[ Alone Lee.

You're Kidding Sharing a home with your parents is not unusual, but sharing a school with them is not exactly a normal occur- rence. However, there are several students whose parents are teachers or aides. Since faculty kids and their parents have virtually the same schedule, they see a little more of one another than kids whose parents have different schedules. A faculty kid can count on a ride to and from school, which pro- vides freedom from the school bus. In case of minor emergencies dur- ing school hours, mom or dad can be counted on to provide lunch money, car keys, advice, or sympathy. You also have the advantage of knowing some of the teachers before you even reach high school. Of course there are drawbacks to being the teacher's kid. Often the other teachers in the school may know as much about your life as you do. It is tough to fool around with your friends when any teacher who sees you can report you to the authorities (namely mom or dad). There is one major calamity (actually it is not that bad) that can result of being a faculty kid. Suppose you actually received mom for a teacher. It has happened before, and the victims have survived. After the pros and cons of being a faculty kid have been weighed, it all comes down to your relationship with your faculty parent. Either you enjoy the opportunity to see them during the day. or you dread the removal of your freedom from family life during the day. Supnna. Richard N. — District Superintendent McKee.

Five years ago the Junior High School performed its last musical production. To take its place. Mr. Moravek began planning a com- munity production which would include adults and students. The result was an immediate success. The First production of Marne brought out the majority of our community to satisfy their curiosity and support the cast. The following year the cast and crew of South Pacific had quite a few expectations to live up to. and that is just what they did. Five years and six productions later, the community ex- hibits an obvious pride in the production. As in previous plays, many employees of the Riverhead school district par- ticipated in Boyfriend. Mr. Robinson and Miss Collotta had roles. From a stu- dent's point of view, it is intriguing to see faculty members in a different light. See- ing them on stage proves that teachers are people, too. Above — Flashing the smile that makes us wonder what he has been up to is English teacher, Mr. Kozyra. FaCulo Bo trend 167 SPONSERING THERE M AJtDitftJrf Whoever said, Tb best things in lift are free, obviously didn't know about dating, shopping malls, or college tuition. Money isn't everything, but we do have to be realistic. When a movie costs $4.50 and a gallon of gas $1.20, no one can afford to be too careless. It is unbelievable how easy it can be to spend $40 in a weekend. After pay- ing for a movie for yourself and a date, the food and drinks afterward, and the gas it takes to get to and from the theatre, not much is left over. The alternative is either to find a cheap date or not do anything at all, neither of which sounds too appealing. The situation is not really all that desperate. There are ways of making ends meet. Many people work after school and on the weekends to alleviate some of the what-can-you-do-for-free blues. Despite all of Mr. Reagan's promises, the economy is not booming for everyone. No one can escape finan- cial difficulties — not even Blue Peconic. Each year the yearbook takes on an adver- tising campaign. Without the help and support of Riverhead town and the local businesses, this year- book would not be what it is. This year, with the added help of Ms. Cotten. Blue Peconic was able to produce one of the best yearbooks Riverhead has seen. We would like to thank Ms. Cotten, the town of Riverhead. and all the local businesses for supporting Blue Peconic and making the finances less of a worry for us. They were there to support us, and we ap- preciate it. Above — Showing pride for their country are Coach Her- zog and the visiting referees.

Finishing a year of high school, whether your First or last, is an ac- complishment to be proud of. It was a goal that could not have been reached if you had not learned there, par- ticipated there, sweated there and just been there As a student in this school, you were there when the budget was defeated in June of 1984. You were also there when it was Finally ap- proved in August. Without the support of the com- munity, we would have missed many events that make high school more en- joyable. Sports and other ex- tracurricular activities would have suffered greatly. For- tunately, the community was there for us and really came through. The students did not let this deed go unnoticed. After people were there to witness the First football game of the season, it became clear that this team really had something special. As if in repayment, the team gave our school and com- munity more spirit and pride than ever before. Everyone was there to watch our team make it all the way to the playoffs. As students and faculty strive for excellence, everyone should remember that just being there is the First, very positive step towards achievement. As next year’s football team at- tempts to liye up to expecta- tions. as Mr. Jester strives to reach outerspace, and as everyone tries to survive another year of school, the fact that you are willing to be there, work there, and sweat there shows the poten- tial that this school holds. To create the excitement and to capture the memories, you had to be there. Top — Some of the studenti passing through these halls will return again, but for some this is the final exit. Above — Bursting forth in song, Lisa James patriotically participates in her last pep rally. Left — Although it may seem to Jimmy Crowley that he is facing the future alone; the other 236 graduating seniors are facing a similiar situation. STATE OF THE ART At the beginning of this year, the staff of the Blue Peconic set a goal for itself. That goal was to win a first place award from the Col- umbia Scholastic Press Association. Under the fearless leadership of editor-in-chief Martha Scherzer, many lunch periods and Saturdays were sacrificed in order to achieve that goal. What you have just finished perusing would not have been possible without the editorial staff of Marc Van Scoy, Erin Conklin, and Beth Stakey. This was the first year that there were two advisors to the Blue Peconic. We thank Ms. Cotten for taking care of business and Mrs. Richard for her creativity originality and sense of humor. Both advisors had infinite patience and dedication. The contributing staff is made up of those students who were willing to help us out when they could. Those peo- ple include Ann Warner, David Baker, Chris Baker. Marcella Sanchez, Liz Stotsky, Tiffany Lindemann, Dale Clauson, and Debbie Roth. Theresa Jarzombek. and Penny Bloss proved invaluable to Ms. Cotten. Thank — you Alex Cutrone, for the index. The professional photography company for the 1985 Blue Peconic was Greenberg — Biello of Plamview, N.Y. Thank you Tim. Bill, and Sue! Elaine Taylor helped us out immeasurably by giving us many sports pictures. Student photographers included Stan Carey. Rob Har- rison. Mike Lojko. Martha Scherzer, Liz Stotsky, Barbara Zilnicki, An- drea Pekar.John McKnight, Mrs. J. and Mrs. Richard. Being There 1985” was published by Taylor Publishing Com- pany, 1550 Mockingbird Lane. Dallas, Texas, 75221. Our Taylor representative was Neil Sanders. The typeface used was garamond standard. All body copy ap- pears in 10 point and all captions are in 10 point italics. Quotations are also in 10 point italics. The folios at the bottom of each page are in 6 point standard. All names in the Senior section appear in 8 point bold italics. All names in the Underclassmen section appear in 6 point garamond standard. The headlines on all divider pages are in 60 point capitals. Most other headlines vary in size from 30-48 point. There is a 60 point dropped let- ter on each divider page and on every' alternate spread throughout the Student Life section. A ) point rule line appears between all columns of copy. The paper used is 80 pound enamel. The first and fourth signatures are printed in 4-color. In the first signature, the alternating pages use marine blue 12 as a spot color. The fourth signature utilized brilliant red 30 as spot color. Some rule lines on the 4-color pages were printed in process yellow 52. The cover was printed in process blue and brilliant red and the end-sheets are printed in the reverse. Names and scoreboards as well as all group pictures in the club section appear in a 40% grey screen. The book started out as 9 x 12 . which is an increase from last year, and it had 192 pages. It is still 9 x 12 . but we purchased eight additional pages to accomodate all the ads we received. In order to keep the table of contents correct, we numbered the additional pages 185a-g. In September, we ordered 450 books. Due to the number of sales, that order was increased to 510 books. This book was produced by four people. Marv Van Scoy, Erin Con- klin. Beth Stakey. and Martha Scherzer. However, it could not have been accomplished without the help of everyone men- tioned on this page. Thank-you, everyone, for your support and cooperation! Good luck to next year’s staff. Goodbye! 19; Colophon a85i Blue Peconic I- T f . — - —1 M — — r r— 1 1 T !'
