By ELLEN PIEHL The New Tanner Can you imagine high school without a basketball team or a volleyball team? As a result of recent budget cuts imposed by the Provincial Government to education, this may soon be- come a reality. "At this point, I honestly don't know what's going to happen in September." Said Acton High School's Dave Some of the students at Acton High also expressed their feeling about the situa- tion. "IT wouldn't come to school," said Rob Turpin, a twelfth grader who's in- volved in a variety of school sports, such as basketball. Other students, like 16 year-old Ruth Eddolls said to keep her occupied. "T would fall back on other 2 gen (in the community)," she says. Boycott said if he was a student at any school in On- tario, he would be disap- pointed if he wasn't able to participate in extra-curricu- lar activities. "There is so much more she would have to findsome- _ to education than just class- thing else outside the school _ room activities," he says. 7 Boyeott - Boycott said that one of the problems facing the Acton High's athletic pro- gram is having fewer teach- ers to take over classes for coaches who participate in extra-curricular activities away from the school. "We're going to be run- ning the school next year with possibly six less adults than we have this year," says Boycott. Another problem con- cerning the program is the school won't have the finan- cial backing it had in the past. Boycott pointed out that other school activities, such as music and drama pro- grams are also in jeopardy. rte v 4 ae Halton DARE ~ grads celebrate This year marks the 25th year of the Halton Regional Police Service's service to the community and the 10% year that Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) is taught in schools.
