BHS Prefects 1939

It might have been expected this term the prefects would have neglected their duties owing to the proximity of the Leaving Certificate. However, this was not so, for during this term, the prefects have held meetings with the teachers, and have discussed many things, concerning the school socials and have received interesting suggestions from them. Owing to the fact that the Sports Dance was not a very great success, either socially, or financially, the prefects have decided to hold two socials for the end of this term; one for the lower school, and one for the upper school. The latter function will, most likely, include bridge and table tennis in the evening’s entertainment. Besides, as this is the last social, which we will attend as students, we are doing our utmost to make it a success, and we would like as many students as possible to attend.

We all regret to hear that Mr. Irvine was not appointed Headmaster at Perth Modern School, but we are sure that the students are inwardly pleased, that they are not losing such an excellent headmaster. We also hear that Miss Stevens is leaving us at the end of this year, and we know that it will he hard to find a teacher to fill the position of first Mistress, as well as she has done during the period that we have known her.

While speaking of Miss Stephens leaving the school, we must not forget that this is our last year, and our last time of greeting you through the “Kingia.” Nevertheless, we are sure that no matter what walk of life we adopt in the future, we will have happy memories of our life at Bunbury High School. We also hope that we have carried out our duties as prefects, successfully this year, and we wish to congratulate the prefects elected to carry on those duties.

As we walk out of the school grounds for the last time, and glance back over our shoulders, it will be with a feeling of regret that our High School life has ended. Now. before leaving, we want to say goodbye and good luck to all who follow us on in the years to come.
