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). The members of both these clubs are to be commended for their selflessness. They are truly an asset to the community. V- IntMKt KmfM MI.K CM.
