THE SAFETY PATROL OFFICERS Captain Randolph Montgomery Lieutenant James Teague The Safety Patrol, as its name implies, is an organization which promotes safety in and around school and on the school buses. The Patrol was first organized in Novem- ber, 1938, with the aid of Mr. Benjamin, a representative of the Tidewater Automobile Association. Robert Firth was first Captain and Randolph Montgomery the first Lieutenant. The Patrol consisted of fifteen regular patrolmen and fourteen alternates. During 1939 and 1940, the Safety Patrol has grown in membership. Randolph Montgomery was selected as the Captain and James Teague, Lieutenant. There are twenty-two patrolmen. The primary function of the Patrol is that of guiding and warning school children at highway crossings. A Patrolman is always on duty when a bus is loading or unloading. The Safety Court, which works in cooperation with the Patrol in handling the cases of students who frequently will not adhere to the guidance of patrol members, is held regularly. In this court advice is given and most of the students conform after one hearing. It must not be imagined, however, that the Safety Patrol acts as a police force around the school. No, it is a guiding group with the desire to inform pupils of the best way of protecting life and limb on the highways of our nation.
