The council began to function immediate- ly by originating a chart. This chart records the war activity, for saftey or defense, of every class in the school. As a war activity, classes are organized for training much-needed machinists, welders, and draftsmen. Congratulations! The whole school is be- hind you! Functioning for two years now, is the Safety Council, which is now under the War Emergency Council. This organization has reached out into all parts of the home and school. It has composed a set of safety rules for sports, shops, and the cafeteria. These rules are being followed care- fully and with success. All traffic violations discovered are recorded and looked into by the safety observation plan. There is also a home safety in- spection plan devised. Not only are the homes planned for, but the council has one coming and going, for the bicyclists and drivers are also organ- ized. A record of the deaths caused by autos is kept on a calendar and a map. A cemetery having the same number of graves as there were deaths was made. It received city-wide attention as a silent reminder for everyone to mind the rules. The Safety Council has done much to make us safety-conscious. In fact it has worked wonders! Mr. Shirck, the advisor, and other members of the council deserve much credit. They have worked incessantly and successfully so far to help in the never-ending struggle against carelessness. Remember always: Safety First! The Cemetery ST. PAUL TRAFHC DEATHS mmf YQOAINQQS rules
