f STUDENT The Life of a Student Exactly what comes to mind when you think of your life here at Riverhead High? Do you feel anxiety, worry, or frus- tration? Is K difficult for you to distinguish between life in high school and life in pri- son? Well, believe it or not there are some subtle differences. At school, we re given about 18 hours of recreation time EVERY WEEKEND! And on the weekends we don’t even have to go to school! But there’s more. At school there's no charge for bail. Usually a simple note from mom is enough to spr- ing you. When you think about all the free time we get it's understandable why we don’t get time off for good behavior. No sir. we get time off for bad behavior. Any of us who have been fortunate en- ough to receive such additional time off can probably tell you this is no recreation period. Rehabilitation would better describe it.But enough negativity already! Focus on the positive aspects of student life.What can we do to make our time at school more enjoyable? Many have accomplished this by means of the various extracurricular activities offered by the school. When a person joins a club or a sports team, he feels more like a part of the school. He will begin to associate going to school with the enjoy- ment he derives from throwing a pass or solving a tough math problem. Because of this any thoughts he has about school will be good ones. As you look through this yearbook, take note of all the clubs and go for it! Go for several! Once you take this step, you’ll find it's much more enjoyable to live the life of a student Left Greg can handle being in school To him. U s easy to blend school into his everyday

Rhapsody In Blue Prom (prom) n. acontr. promenade [Colloq.: a ball or dance attended by students.) Right straight out of the dic- tionary - but there’s more to it than that as anyone who was at the Junior Prom knows. The preparation begins. Shopping. The perfect gown and tux. Nothing must clash or be wrong. The night has arrived: the car’s outside, a wave of feelings - nervous, exci- ted, happy. The Fox Hill Country Club awaited those who made it past Left; Another Junkx Sophmore couple was Sal Gagliardo and Diane Apicello. Not a couple but friends. the preparation on the evening of May 24, 1986. Many were there for the first time. For everyone it was the most im- portant social event of the year. Who’s here with whom? Not him, and her! Oh, they’re perfect! I love her outfit But white socks? My favorite song! They’re great dancers. As we look back at the Prom: some were disappointed, but for most the memories will never fade - until the Senior Prom...you ain’t seen nothin' yet!
