BHS Prefects 1927

This is the last edition of the Magazine, and in accordance with the time honoured tradition we, the retiring prefects, hereby “give our testimony." Although sometimes our duties have not been as easy as we imagined they might be, yet it is with feelings of regret that we pass on and we trust our successors will learn early that the path is one of roses and thorns but that the roses outnumber the thorns, if that is biologically possible.

We have had several afternoon teas at the Domestic Science Centre and they were a great success. We have to thank Miss Johnson for permission to use the centre.

At present the only bright spot in our humdrum (?) lives is the prospect of numerous picnics after the Leaving. Notice how often one’s thoughts return to that approaching ogre.

We hope to hold a prefects’ dance in the school hall at the end of the term on the 13th or 14th, and it will be in the nature of a break-up dance.

In conclusion we wish the school every success in the University exams, and in the coming year.
