The Safety Patrol...

  I was reading a classic Peanuts cartoon the other morning (...ah...Peppermint Patty...) and the storyline is about Good 'Ol Charlie Brown being in the school's Safety Patrol.
  I don't know if the Patrol still exists but it used to be the coolest thing ever.  Students would get a bright orange belt and a cool badge (my badge was red...I was a lieutenant...ahem) and they would be assigned various "patrols" around the school.
  It made the kids feel great and taught what respect ,meant at an early age.
  I miss that orange belt...
