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

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
