The Traffic Patrol, whose main out look is for the safety of the students of Washington High, patrolled, for the first time, the corner of Ninth and Oak streets. The group was given special recognition for their fine work during the past years by Patrolman Dan McComas at a special auditorium call. Each member was given a special certificate of merit and an individual recognition before the whole student body. The boys along with their captain, Dan Peters, who was chosen for the second consecutive year, were honored guests at a Christmas banquet given by theAmerican Legion. In the spring, their adviser, Mr. Bob Miller, accompanied the group to an American Association Baseball game in St. Paul. The Science Club, affiliated with the Junior Academy of Science, is primarily for students with scientific interests of hobbies.

This year, the Science Clubs of Minnesota were sponsored by a teacher's science group which was organized at MEA. Each member had his own individual project to which he devoted his spare time. Various fields of science were represented in the projects which included radiotransmitters, jet engines, and radiant heat. Mr. Moulton, adviser of the group, accompanied members to a regional science fair in the spring. Projects were on exhibition and were demonstrated by eachindividual. Commercial judges awarded prizes based mostly on originality of the projects.
