We ore both new here this year; and because of that.

The football ond field hockey reams hod great seasons lost yeor which they were expected to repeat. One of the hardest things ro do in o sport is repeot o greor season because old players leove. ond new players Right Success is only o stone's throw owoy for senior Ricky Anderson Ricky was seen practic- ing with rhe Varsity Football team over rhe summer break.

If you con imogine running around in this type of heor for two or three hours, you'll hove o new appreciation for these people So. let's heor it for those devoted athletes who woke up eorly in the morning to work out for three hours in rhe grueling heot. It's this kind of dedication that mokes RHS one of rhe best schools on Long Island. Left: Soccer star Mott Yokoboski takes o break during on intensive summer practice.

HOME AWAY FROM HOME On rhe firsr doy of school, ortempring ro open your locker Is one of rhe mosr difficult tosks you will en- counter. Ninety percent of the time you get stuck with o locker thot has o bod lock or o door that sticks. If your first doy of school srorted out this woy. rest assured; you were not olone. Since we must live with these lockers through the entire school yeor, we try to moke the inside o sec- ond home. Many place pictures of celebrities on the doors of their lockers, while others hove candid snap- shots of loved ones (or hoped-for loved ones). There ore vorying degrees of neatness concerning lockers. Some students, who must keep their rooms near ot home, let their lockers look like rhe aftermath of on explosion. Others, who con't find ony woy to keep their bedroom orderly, seem ro keep their lockers free of ony books or papers. Since if is nearly impossible ro survive the school yeor without o locker, we must learn to live with these monsters. In order to moke the opening of rhe locker less painful ond time consuming, we learn little secrets to open them. These may include o swift kick in the right ploce or o Fonzie” punch next to the lock. A locker becomes more rhon just o ploce to store books, lunch, jacket, ond other possesions. A locker becomes the student's little port of o big school, therefore becoming rhe lost bastion of soniry for those of us tripping near the edge Firsr Doy ot School 17 Above Members of the Vorsiry Field Hockey ream, in- cluding Sue Heinze.

Some students needed no such encourage- ment They brought their own confetti, the usual complement of oir horns, ond. of course, their voices. At vonous times during the roily, the dosses hod shouting matches to prove once ond for oil thot they hod the most school spirit As usual rhese bouts ended in o four-woy tie If seemed thot oil the dosses hod about the some spirit This is one contest thot will probably never hove o clear winner, no matter how long the tradi- tion continues.

And after the ream's loss to John Glenn the week before. It wasn't o question of win- ning their Homecoming gome; the victory was necessary for their morale So. some of the more die-hord football fans gathered on this roiny doy to cheer them on As the gome begon. though, some wished they hodn'r.

It did not look like we would hove o victory on homecoming weekend until o ploy come that turned the whole gome around. A Hurricane punt wos blocked by Frank Drown, ond then the crowd went wild os Chris Kruger jumped on the loose boll, scoring o touchdown for the Dlue Waves Neither ream scored in the remainder of the first quarter, so the crowd remained tense os possession of the boll passed bock ond forth between the two teams.

The girls' teom soared into the playoffs for the fourth consecutive year with o 9-6 record. However, the boys' squod finished their season with o 4-14 record. The girls' teom was young, consisting of 1 senior. 2 juniors. 3 sophomores, ond 4 freshmen. This mokes their ployoff showing even more impressive, ond it also shows how much natural talent ond fine cooching the ream hod. The most exciting gomes of the season were the lost three gomes of the year. In the wins ogoinst Miller Ploce ond orch-rivol Shorehom, which clinched o ployoff berth, ond the upsetting defeat ot the hands of Boyport, Lotonyo Jefferson overoged over 10 points ond freshmon Angie Booker hod o three gome total of 29 points. The teom didn't core too much for having to ploy Amityville in the first round of the playoffs, but they kept their spirits high in hope of on upset However, the teom lost by the close score of 32-49. Although the boys' teom did nor hove o 500 record, they did hove some good moments. With the threat of finishing the season with only 2 wins out of 18 gomes, the teom saved its self-respect by finishing the season with o 2-1 record for the lost three gomes. In the Miller Ploce gome, the teom was forced into overtime with o lost-second jump shot by Eddie Droyron to no ovoil. Also during that week, the teom beat Shorehom, 73-56 ond Boyport, 56-51. The basketball teoms hod contrasting seasons, but they hod two things in common. The two teoms hod exceptional talent, ond they both hod 2-1 finol weeks, which included beating strong Shorehom teams.

Love, no more snow ond summer vocotion ore on the minds of every student in the school And for more than o few students, the month of Morch signifies rhe start of on American fovorite. baseball Although their season doesn't start until April, rhe Riverheod ream holds its procrices in rhe gym stor- ting rhe first week of Morch. These practices help rhe players get their arms ready for a long season. Spring training also gives Cooch Rona o chonce to check out the talent from which he has to choose the nine stor- ting ployers. The team looks promising this year One of the many strengths the reom possesses is rhot of on ex- tremely strong infield defense. The infield consists of Kenny Kitchel or first. John Stromski or second. Dloyne Karlin at third, ond Greg Polok or shortstop With this setup rhe reom believes rhot very few ground bolls and base steolers will get post the infield. The only forseeoble problem is the lock of pitchers. With mony of lost year's best pitchers gone, only three pitchers hove varsity experience: Lee Cheshire. Jeff Bogdon, ond Greg Polak The problem lies in the fact that with so few good pitchers, rhe pitching staff will be over- worked ond worn down. Hopefully, this problem will be alleviated by Itono’s wizordry. The problem may be solved by having rhe unex- pected happen, os it often does in baseball. A pitching whiz, such os Dwight Gooden, could emerge from the ranks of JV. or a major hitting power con be discovered in rhe bull pen. Here or Riverheod High School anything is possible — including something unexpected! Baseball is nor only an American Favorite — it is a favorite of riverheod!

Of course, you weren't olwoys that confident. Upon entering high school os o freshman, oil Dorlene Miloski could think wos Wow!” Walter Olsen’s moln worry was, ”1 thought that I wouldn't be able to moke ony friends.” The closs of '86 went through the some feelings of insecurity ond worry that every other closs has. However, eoch student began to develop his own feelings of self-worth ond independence. These feelings ore typified by Mork Hodun s statement. I like who I om, ond Dionne Christionsens belief that the best thing about her is her in- dependence. I con sofely soy that I con function alone.” declared Dionne.

MAKING ENDS MEET Ever hove one of those weeks where you hove obour o holf o million Things to do? You've got o rhousond ond one things to jug- gle oround: tons of homework, dozens of ofter-school octivities (not to mention proctices ond on occossionol gome or two if you’re the othletic type), ond work oround the house. Somewhere between oil thot, you’d like to fry to find rime to be by yourself or with your friends. Most students hove rimes like this once in o while, but those with jobs find thot they ore foced with this situation much more often Getting o job con odd complications to your life, but it hos odvontoges. too First, it reaches you how to budget your time well, something much more eosily said than done You hove to know yourself ond your limirs- for example, how long does it take you to write o six-page English paper? You've got to know exactly how much rime ond effort it takes you to do your schoolwork. or else you'll find yourself foiling behind Of course, the main reason students get jobs is not because it reaches responsibility They need the money, ond they need it for many different things, Some look to the future os they sove for something expensive: o cor. o stereo, o new wordrobe. or even college Others just live for the doy ond moke sure they hove money to spend on gos, albums, out-of-school lunches, movies, ond other such necessities. However, money isn't everything. Some find this our offer working for severol nights on the deod shift, others discover this when they con'r get o much-needed vocation. A few grow weory of dealing with rude customers, ond tough bosses pose problems for yet others. So why nor quit? It's simple-they realize thot it's better to be hassled ond rich than tranquil ond poor. Brian Miles Volerie Andero Miles Steven Miller Ski Club. BOCE5: V.I.C.A (Officer ond Delegate).

Of course, the purpose of school is to provide o learning atmosphere, not o good business environmenr. Clubs, however, ore o major port of this school, ond clubs need money to run their various ocriviries. This means rhot there is usually or least one fundraiser going on or school almost every doy of the year. The two organizations thor raise money most often ore Student Council ond the individual classes Each class sells things to expand its treasury while looking forward to its junior ond senior prom ond possibly o senior trip. The Stu- dent Council needs money year offer year to pur on oil the donees os well os oil its other activities.

So now you must find the time to run down to the library and write a brilliant essay in between all your other various activities. One recalls the old saying, If it weren't for the last minute, nothing would get done. No one knows better than this year’s yearbook staff about deadlines. Deadlines expose us to what the real work world is all about, says layout editor Bill Hipp. It is hard to imagine that the real world could be any more frantic than what confronts the yearbook staff six days a week, but surely it is. College, work, and life in general all demand that things get done on time, regardless of all other responsibilities and previous commitments. It is obvious that deadlines cause a wealth of trouble. Deadlines in school, deadlines at work, deadlines for after-school clubs, deadlines for college applications . . . Sometimes it seems like you live for deadlines. Yet you know, somehow you'll get that English paper done, and the yearbook deadline completed, and everything else that you need done on time — eventually. 1 West Main Street, Patchogue, 475-0280 111 East Main Street, Riverhead, 727-6100 Three Village Plaza, Route 25A, E.

Call For Appointment Change Change — it's an indisputable part of modern society. Improvements in technology bring on changes, lifestyles change, attitudes change. With all the aspects of life constantly shifting around, first going one direction, then reversing, then finally going a third way, it s easy to become lost. Riverhead and its surrounding communities are no exception. While we are not the center of all these changes, we certainly feel the impact of them. With the constant flow of people from the west comes the demand for services; the plaza recently built across from the A P shopping center is just one of the buildings designed to meet this demand. In less than a year, what once was an open tract of land serving only as a shortcut to Caruso’s Pizza suddenly became yet another shopping center. There are more examples, too. A Friendly's is being built on Route 58 across from Burger King. The pressures of urbanization are being felt as far as ninety miles from New York City. Vacant land is giving way to homes, offices, shopping centers, and other such edifices. The result of all this new development' Only time will tell what these changes will do for the economy and life of Riverhead. Congratulations to the Class of ’86 WEDEL SIGN COMPANY INC.

There are many exciting jobs in the Riverhead area if one is willing to look for them. Farms, country clubs, retail stores, supermarkets . . the list is endless. The new development on route 58 is sure to make available many jobs for young adults. The WaJdbaums supermarket will pull in a horde of money-hungry students this summer, and the new Friendly’s will also draw its fair share. Pizza Hut will be sure to have openings in its second summer. Opportunity also knocks at doors outside of the Riverhead center, as the entire North Fork is being swiftly developed. Students Find jobs at the Fox Hill Country Club, or other night spots on the north shore. The opportunity to rise up the corporate ladder while still in high school is surprisingly possible. Senior Brian Miles, for example, has attained a managerial position at McDonalds after several years of hard work. Many students are satisfied with just making some extra money for savings, pocket money, or for spending on their cars. For these people, the opportunities are limitless. Compliments of Barry D.

Acres upon acres of potatoes, com, and other crops make for a colorful and tasteful display at harvest time. Livestock, such as ducks and turkeys, are also common sights. Without this industry, Riverhead would not be like it is today. This past year the bottom fell out of the potato market, most local potato farmers suffered severe monetary losses due to the very low wholesale price of potatoes. Many farms were put up for sale; and those that weren’t, danced dangerously close to bankruptcy. Ellen Wells, daughter of a local farmer commented,'The only hope is higher prices. Our farm has been in the family for 300 years, and now we are forced to sell. On a brighter side. Long Island duckling and grapes are becoming more and more profitable. Vineyards, relatively new in this area, are beginning to produce some very good wine. Short seasoned crops such as strawberries and peaches draw thousands of people from the city each year. Rt. 58 Riv«rh«ad 727-9728 i iy In the township of Riverhead, farmlands of all types are prevalent. Tractors can be seen anywhere, plowing, fertilizing, and harvesting fields. They can be seen on side roads and main highways. Riverhead is known for its potatoes, cabbage, com and seasonal products such as pumpkins and strawberries.
