Probably it had been more than just time. Perhaps the enjoy and interest of my parents located an umbrella of security about me. Perhaps it is perhaps not the place, enough time, or the cloth of the institution building which makes these thoughts so sweet. Perhaps it is more the combined memories of the people in a idyllic childhood and the warmth of a caring family which endures.
Pulaski School No. 8 in Passaic NJ, in the first '60s was a different time. You had to be at the least in the 4th rank and our ranks had 18 Patrol Children, two Sgt, one Lt, One Capt, and a Main, who manned the corners of metropolitan Passaic in rain, snow, sleet, and hail. The Officers, Primary, Chief, Lieutenant, and Badges for schools Sergeants had yellow belts to distinguish them and must be fifth graders (the highest rank within our school) and their work was to check all the other posts to be sure we have there been and doing our job. We also had a Quartermaster who took care of the gear, rain gear, banners, etc. He'd the conventional standard tasks and had a gold Patrolman marker BUT he wore an orange Officers belt and was considered an officer
In the school in addition to manning the roads, we had Patrol Children at specific doors to open and close them for the small young ones, but we had "Monitors" in the institution itself to watch the halls. The "Monitors" had a similar plan to the Patrol Children but not as prepared and managed.
I don't know if this was distinctive to NJ, but we'd a "Chief" along with one other officers and whoever was Chief ensured the other officers did their job. It absolutely was a REAL cycle of order! We use to take visits, particularly for the patrol boys. The other Passaic schools we achieved on the trips had Patrol kids and THEY also had a Chief. The Patrol Children were big back then, even the Catholic Colleges had Patrol Boys. Although we could have, we didn't have women in those days and I can't remember if our badges said "College Security Patrol" or "School Child Patrol" but we named ourselves "Patrol Boys" ;.
