Work Lengths Summer for some may mean sun, fun, and adventure. For others it means hard work and long hours. Here are some students that found them- selves in the web of employment for their summer vacation. For whatever reason it may be. work itself has a very broad defi- nition. To one, it may have been a sense of independence, to another, just a way of staying out of trouble for the mean time. For all the various reasons that one may give to work, there is none that outstands that of the Pay Check. The pay check is ones proof of his her contribution to that job and how well he she has adjusted to working in “The Real World”. It not only gives one a sense of pride but also a sense of selfworth and accomplishment. Some found themselves laboring in shoe stores. Others worked in delis, res- taurants, or whereever an opening could be found. Personal references came next, and the earnings came thereafter. After all, work is an experience, but money is an essential. Of course the whole goal is money, and when you’re on top. Capitalism can’t be beat, even with a big stick. Enjoying his summer.

The New Wave It's the new wave, and it’s rolling in. There’s just one small problem; the wave doesn’t know where it’s going. What can we do to give this wave a sense of direction? How about a crash course in Riverhead High School? The wave is an enormous group of Freshmen, and they thank God for Freshmen Orientation. You remember; we’ve all been there as Freshmen, little lost innocent souls, just wanting, waiting to fit in. This school is huge, you couldn’t possibly find your way, ever, or so you thought. You also never thought you’d recognize a single class, teacher, or even a fellow student in this jungle of education. How will you ever fit in? When can you ever just relax and feel comfortable? Those are just a few of the many cries that have been answered by Freshman Orientation. What is Freshmen Orientation, and who cares? Believe it, if you were a Freshman, you would. Freshmen Orientation is noth- ing more than an opportunity, and a great one at that. It is an opportunity for the new students in this new Fourth World we call High School, and their parents, to get ac- quainted and become familiarized with teachers, administration, classes, activi- ties, and basically anything our school has to offer. The mystery is unlocked with the key of Orientation. Only one question remains, are the ef- forts really worth it? Ask any Freshman, you won’t be suprised. The wave rolls in, breaking on the shores of High School hallways. The im- pressions they create and leave are felt by all. Freshman Orientation has cleared the way of any obstacles, thus allowing these valuable impressions to be made more smoothly. It ensures success, suc- cess that every Freshman dreams of, throughout their High School years. Freshmen Orientation is only the begin- ning, but after all, isn't that the most im- portant? The mob rules at Riverhead High School. Friends congregate in the halls to compare sched- ules. 8 Student Life
