Fund Raisers Meet The Challenge of Austerity Concerned locals protect sports program thru S.O.S. To many, the greatest loss im- posed by austerity was the inter- scholastic sports program. Always an important part of the school year, sports would have been so- rely missed. However, a group of active parents and students band- ed together in an all-out effort to preserve Port sports. The organiza- tion, known as SAVE OUR SPORTS (SOS), used various means of fund- raising to acquire the necessary money. Without the conscientious effort of these concerned people throughout the year, the sports program would not have been pos- sible. There were other groups that met the challenge of austerity. The Schreiber Times sold ads and sub- scriptions in order to insure their continued existence. The Student Government raised money to give to clubs that needed it; money was also raised independently by other organizations such as Domestic Ex- change, Choir, and The Port Light. 4

-r .! ,....i—| L — r STUDENTS LEAVING BUILDING I . MUST LEAVE CAMPUS OR GO TO I STUDENT UNION AREA • Guards Move Into Halls; Students Move Out “Student Union” becomes popular hangout Excuse me — you’ll have to move along now. These words became very familiar to Schreiber students this year, as did the faces of the eight hall guards who admo- nished them daily. The guards appeared in Schreiber’s corridors following a ruling by the Board of Education which prohibited student loitering . The new regulations applied to the hall- ways and the front of the school building, both of which had always been crowded with students working, talking, and relax- ing. Students grudgingly moved out of these areas, some going to the new Stu- dent Union area behind the school, or to the resource rooms and the library. After a few weeks, students adjusted to the new rules and the guards. Though they seemed a radical change at first, the regu- lations soon became another part of Schreiber reality.
