SAFETY CLUB ln time of war the slogan of Safety First has twice as much importance as it has in peacetime. Everything we did this past year was keyed to such a piteh of ex' citeincnt and' tension that we rarely thought of safety and the prohlems that accoinpanied it. However, its significance was impressed on our minds hy the activif ties of the Safety Cluh, competently ad' vised hy Miss Ada Hallock. The program of the cluh this past year was geared to the safety prohlems that confront industrial Bridgeport. A surf Vey of various trafhc prohlems was made and presented to the cluh niemhers for discussion.

M. P.'s TRAFFIC COURT Our government is anxious to see that the conduct of its soldiers befits the stand- ards of the United States Army at all times. For this important job it employs the Mili- tary Police, who carry out their duties both in camps and in large cities, The Military Police at Camp C.H.S. directs the flow of traffic in the corridbrs between periods, and maintains order throughout the building. The organization consists of three main divisions, the Trafhe Patrol, Court, and Board. This past year the patrol contained about one hundred members who were divided into three squads, which worked two at a time. The squad memlbers policed the corridors at various positions and gave traffic 'tickets to those who disobeyed the regulations. These tickets serve as notices to report to the next session of the Trafhc Court, which was advised this year by Miss Ada Hallock. The Court meets every Thursday after- noon, and the judges hear both the patrol- man and the offender relate the details of the case. The merits of the problem are then discussed among the judges and a joint decision is made. The judges for '42- '43 were Samuel Smith, seniorg Dana Johnson, junior, and Dorothy Judd, sopho- more. Louis Casillo and ,loan Heller acted as sergeants-at-arms. Withniut student .co-operation, the Court could not maintain its high standards of efficiency and fairness. We at Camp C.H.S. realize that the traffic laws are made for our common good and for the better- ment of our school. They are made by members of our student body and conse- quently are suited to the conditions at camp. We know that our present system of traffic control will have many more years of successful operation. I 17 TRAFFIC COURT Seated, Left fo Right: Dana Johnson, Junior Judge Miss Ada V.

TRAFFIC BOARD The Traffic Board, advised by Miss Berenice Daniels and Mr. Stanwood Towne, is another of the three vital parts of our self-governing traffic organization at Camp -C.H.S. The members of the Board are chosen by the students them- selves, and in turn these members choose the patrolmen. The entire scheme is tho- roughly democratic and has been extreme- ly successful this year. The members of the Board make the traffic regulations, observe them in action, and make revisions when necessary. ln the beginning of the year the Board sponsored a roller-skating party at the Obeh Grottog in early june, the annual Traffic picnic was held for the patrol. These social functions were great successes. The Board members gave a great deal of time to their work this year, as traffic problems have become more acute and numerous because of war activities. ln our democratic country it is imperative that we learn responsibility and self-reliance, Our traffic system in Camp C.H.S. is one step in the right direction. x
