Doing Time Why are you reading this? Come On! Why? Probably be- cause the rest of the yearbook has finally become boring and you’ve got time to read this drivel. We call it student life. Why do we have a student life section? Because all yearbooks have them. And who are we to break tradition? Even if it is a moronic one. Forget it! You're hopeless. Since you are commited to staring at this space, we might as well say something. This section is called stu- dent life. Maybe we should discuss students and their lives. But why should we? If you're reading this, chances are you know! In fact, most of you reading this are seniors — and you’ve been through four years of this man-made Hades. You know — Bath- rooms that you were afraid to enter as a freshman, the park- ing lot you thought was a big deal to drive into when you got your car finally, the tests you forgot to study for and the homework you just decided not to do. You've been there. What have I got to tell you? And even if you didn’t know — how could we explain in a few short words what changed our lives in four long years? You found out. Or you will find out.

Cheerleaders and football players chanting WE DO AS WE PLEASE to the fans. Plenty of Pep It's Friday morn- ing and every student at R.H.S. can feel the excite- ment and anticipa- tion in the air. Only seven more periods to go until the Pep Rally. The usual chit chat about who dumped who. and homework, is re- placed by prepara- tions for the com- ing weekend — Homecoming Weekend. The start of this week- end is the Pep Rally. The Pep Rally is one of the only events that R.H.S. students participate in all to- gether. There is the traditional division of classes and ath- letes. of course, but then a little compe- tition never hurt anyone! As a mat- ter of fact, the spir- it competition be- tween the classes is one of the most exciting parts of the Pep Rally. No matter who you are» the class clown, a super jock, the brain, or even the Homecoming Queen, screaming to support your class comes natu- ral. After all. what better way to re- leave unwanted stress? As is usually the case, there were no losers in the competition, only winners by showing their spirit and unity. We were in the gym to cheer Riverhead on to a victory in the game on the next day — the Homecoming Game. We were also there to show that R.H.S. students are a team too. We can make good things happen when we get to- gether; we prove it every single day. Student Life 17
