I am a graduate of Sacred Heart School,1971.
I was one of 2 patrol boys (the other was Richie Anderson) stationed
at Sanford Avenue and Fortuna St. We had to place the yellow "City
of Newark" barricades across the street because everyone lined
up on Fortuna Street when the bell rang. We wore a white Sam Brown
type belt over our uniforms with the badge on it. Like you, I still
have my Patrol Boy Certificate from the City of Newark. I think
you are correct when you say that the system was replaced in the
1970s.
