WILLARD CITIZENSHIP CLUB The Willard School now has a Citizenship Club. A group of twenty- eight outstandingly fine citizens was chosen by the faculty as charter members. This small group has organized and at the beginning of the fall term will take in new members. The membership will be limited, and qualifications for membership will be based upon character and service to our school community. The purpose of the club is to foster good citizenship in our Student Body, to create an interest in community affairs, and to train in leader- ship.

JUNIOR TRAFFIC POLICE The Willard Junior Traffic Squad, a unit of the Berkeley Junior Po- lice, goes on duty every school day, weather fair or foul, during the noon periods to protect our students crossing Telegraph Avenue and to insure their safe return over that same busy thoroughfare. Since the organiza- tion of the first squad in Berkeley some ten years ago, there has not been a single fatality and only one injury while these Junior Police have been on duty. Parents are bound to have greater peace of mind when they know that such an efficient force is safeguarding the lives of their chil- dren. These officers are often called for civic duties at theaters, audi- toriums, pet shows, and wherever children are the principal audience. To speed up traffic safely is the daily duty and responsibility of these boys. Playing, inattention to duty, unnecessary talk or ordering of chil- dren, trapping motorists in the control, and the like are not tolerated. The officers must be courteous to motorists and must not talk back no matter what the driver of the car may say. The first offence of a driver he is cited to the police station and warned; his second offence means he is cited to the judge. The Junior Traffic Officer, while truly being his brother ' s keeper , is a real American boy as an intelligent, well-poised, efficient officer, but not a bullying cop. There is no better way of educating the school as a whole concerning the dangers of carelessness than through such an or- ganization as we have here at Willard.
