Mr. Cox The Safety Patrol began the year by distributing among the homerooms rules and regulations per- taining to safety on school grounds and buses. The patrolmen strived to carry out these rules in every phase of school life. The bus patrolmen were fortu- nate to have the Lion ' s Club donate yellow plastic helmets for use when crossing the highways. In April the Safety Patrol sponsored a Driver ' s Safety Program for assembly. After a brief discussion and a film on safety habits while driving, the entire student body dispersed to Water Lane. In a specially equipped automobile, two student drivers, Linda Hicks and Larry Rose, and Trooper Jefferies demon- strated reaction and braking distance. Student help- ers measured the distances on the pavement as the student body kept account of these on small scoring cards. 24
