BHS Prefects 1937

During this year the “pre’s.” have not been hard pressed in their duties, save perhaps for the beginning of first term when there was a big increase to the usual influx of first years. During second term their duties were considerably lightened when it was decreed that no one save Prefects should venture upstairs before first bell, and disturbances in the lower corridors were severely frowned at.

The Prefects wish to express their sympathy to Mr. Downing on his recent bereavement. Although Mr. Downing has only been with us since the beginning of this year, he is already universally liked, and known as one of the best.

Several dances have been held this year, all of which have been moderate successes. Unfortunately the First Years have only attended two of them, but their solace must lie in the fact that they still have four more years in the School, during which time they can have all the Dances they desire.

A Prefects’ Tea was held at the School late during the second term. It was voted a roaring success, which was only darkened for a brief instant by the smell of burnt milk. We hope to repeat this social before our shadows darken the doorways of VF for the last time.

The School wishes to thank Mr. Davidson for so kindly polishing and re-erecting the school bell

Looking back we find that we are now able to form our own opinions on school life, and it is, we think, with regret that we see our school days swiftly drawing to a close.
