The Patrol was formed to handle the traffic on the stairs and in the halls when the students go from one classroom to another. The forty Seniors and Juniors who make up this organization were chosen for their outstanding qualities of scholarship, leadership, and reliability. Each member wears a maroon and white T. A. P. armband as an emblem of authority. The Patrol takes care of general traffic throughout the School. Two members have charge of each stairway in order to keep trafhc moving smoothly in one direc- tion only. Patrols also try to prevent running and other misconduct in the corridors. The sponsor of the organization, Miss Marie N. Lauver, keeps the members actively alert, and stresses a courteous and helpful attitude in the discharge of patrol duties. Page One Hundred Fourteen
