BHS Prefects 1936

Since our last appearance in the “Kingia,” we have had a rather quiet time, with very few dances owing to the ban placed on such by the staff earlier in the year.

The annual Sports dance, held on October 14th, the night of the sports was a great success financially and socially, aided by the profitable cool drink bar. This is the only dance held in the gymnasium since the prefects’
dance in July. Preparations are being made for another prefects’ dance to be held after the Leaving and Junior examinations, and this should prove to be as great a success as the last one.

With the Leaving appearing menacingly before us, our whole time is devoted to study and some of next year’s prefects have been chosen to take over our duties. Those elected so far are K. Withers, R. Nelson, E. Lane, A. Waters, and C. Green, M. Brown, J. Wood and J. Powell. We wish them the best of luck in their work and have confidence in them to come up to our standard which, all will agree, is the highest possible.

Our sympathies rest with Athol McGhie, who sustained an injury by accident and which unfortunately cost him an eye. We hope this will not affect his school career.

Before bidding everyone adieu we wish the Junior candidates and the Leaving, including ourselves, the very best of luck in the forthcoming examinations and trust that the student's will uphold the good traditions of the school by passing with honours.

Not “au revoir” this time, but “goodbye,” all, the best of luck, a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year.
