BHS Prefects 1935

These notes, our readers will be glad to observe, are necessarily short. Time, and to be conventional, space, will not allow us to expand upon our eccentricities, which have been remarkably restrained since last “Kingia” as we have been living a life of retirement and of work. Of course there have been little incidents, things that everyone knows about and which need hardly be mentioned here, such as Betty having her hair curled and Cedric going “Lower School”, but on the whole we have been working hard and, most of us, getting results.

We have to thank the Fourth Years for their most timely and welcome aid in the running of our dances. Though the dances earlier in the term were not as lucrative as could be hoped, the Sports’ Night Dance was a decided success both financially and socially, and our financial position is now quite sound and it should remain so, provided that we don’t go getting our photographs taken too often.

To finish, whatever Mr. Howieson might tell you to the contrary, we would ask you to believe that we lead an existence of nobleness and high ideals and thus, hoping that you may live to be as libelled and yet as pure as we, we sorrowfully bid you adieu.
