The Willard Junior Traffic Squad Qne of Willard ' s most important civic organizations is the Junior Traffic Squad. The Junior Traffic Boys go on duty every school day. One group goes from 11:55 to 12:10 to take the children across Telegraph Avenue at lunch time in safety, and the other squad goes out from 12:40 to 1 : 00 to insure a safe crossing of the busy throroughfare in return. These boys take the place of policemen who would have to be on duty near the schools. For their services, they get a pass to the movies two or three times a week. The Junior Traffic Boys of Berkeley have a record of which they may be very proud. Since the first squad in Berkeley, which was organized by the pupils of the Franklin School nine years ago, there has not been a single child injured while they were on duty. In reviews and cup compe- tition Willard has won two stars and the cup once. The following students are on duty in Willard ' s Junior Traffic Squad : John Tietjen (senior sergeant), James Haldan (junior sergeant); Jack McDonough, Douglas Miller, Ralph Scott, George Stevens (corporals) ; Donald Black, Edward Brewer, Arch Brown, Carleton Cross, Jack Evelyn, Richard Graves, Steve Harding, John Van Heerdan, John Linville, Milton McGregor, Tom Sagimori, and Horace Schauer (officers) . John Tietjen. Boys ' Traffic Report HpHE Boys ' Traffic Commission is a group of boys in the ninth grade who try to keep the students in order when they go from one classroom to another. They are stationed at important points in the school building. The boys control the south half of the building. The main objectives of this group of officers are to stop talking or running on the stairs, shouting and whistling in the corridors, and riding bicycles within the school grounds. These efforts lessen accidents and disturbances. A meeting is held every other Monday after school in room twelve. Traffic problems are discussed and comments and suggestions given. This organization is doing good work, and it is the duty of each Willard student to promote the interests of our school by obeying traffic rules. The following boys are traffic officers: Richard Grinnell, Jack Heas- lett, Robert Allen, George Stevens, Robert Maxwell, Charles Vaughn, Paul Lucas, Paul Cole, Robert Mahon, Julio Totoro, Eual Sitton, Donald Scott, Jack Hackett, Robert Mac Dougall, Harold Fell, Charles Bell, Ellis Sprunger, Leonard Green, Viggo Kiosterud, Kampe Lewis, Howell Gester, Gurney Breckenfeld, Richard Nicols, Tom Tanabe, and Yoshi Hibino.

Junior Red Cross Work J he Junior Red Cross is an international organization which has branches all over the world. This enables its members to correspond with the Junior Red Cross Organizations of other countries, thus fostering a spirit of international sympathy and understanding. In Berkeley, the Junior Red Cross holds its meetings at the Berkeley High School. A member from each Berkeley School is chosen to go to the monthly meetings throughout the regular school term. During this year we have all been very bus} ' doing what we could to combat the serious con- dition resulting from the depression. Each school has donated as much as it could to the Community Chest and the Junior Red Cross has done the same, Every month birthday cards are sent to the Livermore Hospital for all those who have birthdays during that month. On Lincoln ' s Birthday, favors that were made for the occasion by the different schools were sent there. For Washington ' s Birthday and Easter the same plan was carried out. nenever the season comes and the occasion arises our organization is ready to lessen the burden and brighten the hours of those in need of our service.
