STUDENT SAFETY SOCIETY President Ronald Schniepp 'Vice-President John Smith Secretary Louise Kaminski Faculty Adviser Mr. Strine ' ln December of l936, Upper Merion High School Students realized the necessity for having a safety committee to regulate the loading and unload- ing of pupils on the school busses. Under the direction and supervision of Mr. Strine, a Student Safety Society known as The Triple S was organized. There are seventeen members in the society, and each member is a patrol- man on his bus. Because of the co-operation of the student body and the patrol mem- bers, the Student Satety Society has been considered a great success. Its powers have now been extended from the regulation of bus conditions to any safety conditions necessary in the school. E481
