Schreiber High School - Port Light Yearbook (Port Washington, NY)

FOREWORD Throughout our early high school years, time posed itself as the “great oppressor.” Bells seemed to rule our lives and buzzers formed our patterns of living. Where we were to be, when we were to be there, and how long were all dictated to us by the ever-present time keepers. But now, as we prepare to leave, school life takes on a new perspective. Time has become more precious. The clock is, in a sense, a recorder—of our life, activities, work and fun at Schreiber. Now the “great oppressor” has become an intricate part of a suddenly cherished way of life and serves as the symbol of pleasant memories. We, the members of The Port Light Staff, have tried to preserve as many of these pleasant memories as possible by attempting to stop the clock. 2
