BHS Prefects 1958

So the unlucky prefect has been lodged. Why do such jobs fall on the weaker sex? Oh well, we’re all prefects and there’s nothing like practice for Leaving English.

The closing of the year has undoubtedly marked success, financially and socially, for the 1958 prefects and has enabled us to arrange a big celebration—to be held after the Leaving—involving some of the surplus cash. (Sounds good, doesn’t it?)

All socials have been run at a profit, despite the “mysterious” disappearance of many of the drinks. In fact so many attended the lower school dance, it was inevitable that both years were to have separate dances.

Meetings have been held weekly, everything other than what was relevant, being discussed. We have had few prefects’ teas this year but each and everyone has been fun as well as filling.

The prefects express their gratitude to all who contributed towards the present for that grand old man, Mr. Davies-Moore, who left us at the end of last team.

Our duties as prefects have been far from tedious this year, and we hope that everyone has been satisfied with our efforts. On the whole everyone has co-operated and we have thoroughly enjoyed our year of privileges. Best of luck to the 1959 prefects and we wish you all the success and pleasure experienced during our reign.
