Safely Patrol See yourself? Where? Why on the opposite page where the guardians of safety, law. and order are: here the guards and the red caps standg Our Safely Patrol! School days. school days, Dear old safety rule days. Reading and writing and learning to obey All of our safety rules day by day. So sing the guards at their meetings. Now we have meetings once a week for half a period. In the early days the patrol met after school or not at all. The safety patrol budded forth four years ago. an infant organization of thirty- tire members. one commissioner and one sponsor. We now have one hundred mem- bers. including nine captains, two commissioners and four sponsors. In the old days all members wore the arm badges, while now our eleven officers are distinguished by the red caps. While it began merely as an organization to control trallic at the hall doors and the stairways of Stevenson. now it is promoting safety and citizenship throughout the school and on the playground. Among these activities are the safety poster lesson. which is taught by home room members. under the direction of one of a faculty sponsorg a special issue of the Pirate. our school paper, on safetyg frequent columns in the regular issues of this progressive junior high school paperg a special safety assembly given once each termg special stunts from time to time in the regular assembliesg the Hag raising ceremonyg the national essay contestg safety song. skits. and poetry produced by the English and music departments: safety contributions by the art department, and ideals of the organization as they are being realized in the active life of the fifteen hundred young citizens of our Stevenson Community. This program shows that Stevenson is fulfilling the requirements of the state law to go into effect next year. The law will require that safety be taught in every grade and subject. Our students have been most active in this work. The last two presidents of the Executive lioard of I..os Angeles Junior High School Safety Committees were com- missioners from Stevenson. . The importance of the desirable attitudes expressed in the Safety Pledge has inspired teachers and pupils to carry on. Pupils are interested. because it is largely carried out through student government and projects. The Safety Pledge undoubtedly contains the basic reasons because of which our legislature has passed thc new law making safety a required part of all subjects in our public schools. Safety Committee Pledge tlj I will not do. anything in play or otherwise that will endanger myself or others. t2j I will not take any unnecessary chances of getting hurt and will warn others against doing so: 133 When operating any vehicle upon a street or public highway, I will do so carefully. considering the life. rights. and property of othersg L-li I will be careful in what I say, realizing that injury to others may resultg f5j I will do everything in my power to prevent accidents. 1371
