"Mr. Paul Morgenroth must be given much of the credit for bringing this organization and that of the P.S. Safety Patrol to fruition. The latter was begun under the sponsorship of the Ont. Motor League during the term of Bill Hart as principal. The League supplies raincoats, hats, belts and badges. The pupils of Grades 7 & 8 are on duty at all the main intersections, before nine, at noon and after four. For their devotion to duty, in rain or snow or shine, the members are treated to a trip, or given some other reward near the end of the school year.'
