Safety Patrol The SAFETY PATROL, a national organization sponsored by the A. A. A., was begun in West Point High School in the session 1940-41. This organiza- tion has played an important part in our school life. The patrol in 1940-41 consisted of thirteen members and has now increased to twenty-five. Jimmy Sears was the first captain, as- sisted by Carter Cole and Cor- bett Roberts as lieutenants. These jobs have been handed down to the present staff con- sisting of : Captain, Tommy Hooperg lieutenants, James Robins and Edward Kopakie, and twenty-three patrols. Their jobs are to furnish patrols for the bus, each home room and each end of Twelfth Street dur- ing the lunch period. The patrols also assist the lunch teacher on the grounds in STREET CLOSED SAFETY PATROL H omcmakers The Home Economics Club was organized in 1943 by Miss Nan Duer. In 1946 it was af- filiated with the Future Home- BAND watching over the grade school children. School Band Although the WEST POINT HIGH SCHOOL BAND is small this year it has been able to make very good music. This is due not only to the musicianship of its members, but to the fact that the various instruments used are in well balanced num- bers. Besides the playing group, there are others who receive lessons but have not yet acquir- ed sufficient skill to play in the Band. These pupils hope to be in the Band next year. Mr. C. C. Briggs is director of the Band. Page 26 makers of America and is now called the NAN DUER CHAP- TER OF THE FUTURE HOME- MAKERS OF AMERICA. In the Fall of 1948 the Fed- eration held its meeting at West Point High School with the West Point club as hostess. The club had a Christmas tea and bazaar for the purpose of raising money for National Club dues and served several dinners during the year for the principals at their meeting. This club joined with the F. F. A. in a magazine campaign. With part of the money a floor lamp and scatter rugs were purchased for the apartment. In March the club again joined the F. F. A. for a much enjoyed social. The boys provided entertain- ment and the girls refresh- ments. In April the senior girls spent a week-end at the apartment. They took complete charge of managing it with Miss Staples' supervision, and had a lot of fun too. It is hoped that fContinued on Page 292 l FUTURE HOMEMAKERS

PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB Plzotograplzy Club The Photography and Aero- nautics Clubs were the first to start what is now known as the HOBBIES CLUB, whose main objective is to inspire young people to have a hobby of their own. The Photography Club was founded in 1945 with Mr. Hum- phreys as sponsor. The first president was Henry Voznick. This club is especially fortunate in having for its sponsor an amateur photographer, who has equipment that the club mem- bers enjoy using. Each year the Photography Club holds a pho- tography contest for the entire school. The Airplane Club began with Mr. Adams as sponsor. It is now know as the Aeronautics Club and is sponsored by Mr. Haynes. Orange and Blue Since the re-establishment of a school paper in the 1945-1946 l ,., school life.
