What would the students and school bus drivers do without the Safety Patrol of Amherst Count}’ High School? This group func- tions to promote the theme, “Pre- vention of accidents.” Its purpose is to aid the bus driver and pro- tect the student. Throughout all of its efforts, the Safety Patrol has maintained a good record. The members are appointed by the principal and must meet certain safety require- ments. The Patrol’s meetings usually constitute a study in general of the rules of safety and conditions which may need correction. The members also recognize one indi- vidual selected for his interest and zeal displayed in safety. It can truly be said that the Safety Patrol of A.C.H.S. ranks high among those most worthwhile and necessary organizations in the school. This is a working group which has made the safety of each student its primary aim and the prevention of accidents its ultimate goal. 83
