SCHOOL CROSSING SAFETY EMPHASIZED Captain Jimmy Guess attempts to break up a fight during lunch hour. The Safety Patrol is an organization with two main aims in mind: to protect and secure the welfare of school chil- dren during school time and while arriving home by either bus or foot. This year has been a successful experience for each member as they try to perfect these goals. Mr. Wil- son, the new advisor, has worked with Captain Jimmy Guess and other members in recruiting women patrolmen at highway crossings in the surrounding town area. The routes were mapped out and the children were instructed as to the best route to take in order to reach their home. The children were also given lessons on bicycle safety. The bus patrolmen were urged to keep the buses as orderly as pos- sible to further safety precautions. On the premises the Safety Patrol strove to promote school safety by fire drills and general meetings of the Patrol. 28
