Oe ig fG Oblational Tike Safety Patrol JAMES BLOUNT Captain EUGENE JONES Co-captain MISS FITZGERALD Sponsor MRS. ALSUP Sponsor The Safety Patrol of Alexander Park High School was organized this year under the direction of Miss Cora Mae Fitzgerald and Mrs. Rosa Lee Alsup. They selected James Blount for the captain, because of his character, school work, and ability. Every two weeks the Patrol meets and Captain James Blount changes the duties. These duties include such things as walking the halls, watching fountains so there is no pushing, checking corridor passed, watching bicycle racks, directing street crossing, getting classes to lunch and chapel programs, and holding doors open. Although our Safety Patrol is doing a fine job now, we hope to make many improvements in the future.
