'? V W 1:31 V X M' '73 Ll' its 1 - TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT A IQ-53-9 LTTSTANDING among the service organizations of Townsend Harris gh is the Traffic Department, for it is a most necessary and important part of our school. Though its value and worth are distinctly under-rated, members of the Traffic Department patrol the' corridors, Study Hall, ' and lockers during the Lunch Hour, and are daily regulating traffic on the stairways and in the corridors between periods. They are constantfy on duty, and are rendering true, consistent service to the student body. Applicants are called for each term, and usually are appointed during the semester. Promotion is based on individual merit. Records are kept of the general attitude of each member, comprising reports on his scholastic proffici- ency, spirit, and attendance. Merit is the basis of consideration in the choice of officers, who are not elected by the main body of the organization, but by the retiring officers. The Traffic Department has functioned excellently this semester because of the co-operation at large to the officers, who are headed by Leslie Gross and Tristan Beplat, chief and recorder, respectively. The guiding hand of Mr. Chastney, the supervisor, has again taken hold of the reins and has steered the department on its true course with great success. An innovation this term was the distribution of new badges, which are more prominent, by reason of size, than those formerly in use. The general shape is that of a shield on which is inscribed in bold letters, T. H. H. Traffic Department. The department is composed of three companies, A, B, and C, each super- vised by a capain, subordinate to the chief and the recorder. These com- panies are subdivided into platoons, each directed by a lieutenant. Company A is divided into three platoons, one for each stairway, and one for the corri- dors. Companies B and C hold sway in the corridors and lockers during the Lunch Hour, on alternate weeks. There are two platoons in each of the latter companies. The officers are:- Cnzef .......................... .,,,.,...., L ESLIE M. GRoss Recottiet- ,......... ................. T RISTAN BEPLAT COMPANY A Captain .......... ......................

This consisted of inviting each club to a joint meeting at which the repre- C sentative of the guest society delivered a ten-minute talk on the con- tributon to American civilization made by the faction, or race, which his club represented. The German, French, Spanish, Italian and Classical Societies were all Well-represented at these interesting joint-meetings. Indeed, they showed the members and visitors the true mettle of their respective people. The innovation proved very successful, in that the co-opreation of every club in Harris was obtained. Still another feature of the club's activities was the successful manage- ment of the Evening World's Current Events Contest in Harris. Under the leadership of the club many major and minor prizes were captured by Harris competitors. The innovation proved very successful, in that the co-operation of every club aided to a great extent by the energetic and most capable faculty advisor, Mr. Landman, are: Presidenz ....,,........,. ..........
