tEfje Council In the last days of April and on the first of May the main topic of conversation i- the Council, which i perhaps the most important of our school organisations. It is the guardian of the self-government system at Kent, a system which has been examined, and in some instances imitated by other schools. Representatives have been sent from various schools to study the methods employed by the Council, and to see just wliat branches ..f school activities come under its jurisdiction. The Council is composed of the three prefects chosen from the Sixth Form bv the Headmaster, two members from the Fifth Form, and two members from the Fourth Form. The Fourth and Fifth Forms mcml crs are elected by the school on the night of May 1st of each year, on the basis of their ability to serve the school along those lines which the Council governs. Their principal duty is to safeguard the carrying on of the study periods without any supervision by the Faculty. The method of election is a simple one. Sometime Indore the first of May. the Third and Fourth Forms meet and nominate four candidates. There must be four from each of the two Forms so as t« give the school a choice as to who it shall elect. On the night of May 1st there is a school meeting at which two candidates from each Form who receive a majority arc elected members of the Council. The prefect system is, however, different, and may l»cst be understood from the following article, reprinted from the first issue of the Quarterly”. It is one of the customs of our school that, on May first of each year, three fellows are selected from the Fifth Form to be prefects for the next school year. In selecting the prefects, to use the words of the Headmaster. ‘Everything is taken into consideration: standing in studies, past record, ability as leaders, faithfulness to school principles and traditions, general deportment, and popularity.’ 24

ixtl) Jform Jjolibap Monday, October 10th. the Sixth Form went apple picking at Hog Hollow, four miles away across the state line, where the school has rented a farm. It was undecided whether we should go. as it had rained the night before, and it still looked threatening, hut the sun soon appeared and the Sixth Form started, fourteen fellows in a group. The party soon divided into two squads, the larger under Horton’s and Harris's command with eight fellows; and the smaller, under the leadership of Delion, containing five fellows. Rich, being the sacristan, was neutral. At Macedonia an orchard was reached and a pitched battle began. At every orchard on the way it started up anew, Dehon's force trying unsuccessfully to outflank their opponents. The battle culminated in the seizure of the farm where there was a hard battle. There is still some difference of opinion as to whether the “thin red line of 'crocs under I)ehon surrendered. The fellows soon got to work, however, and all the apples in sight, with the exception of those used as missies from time to time, were gathered into barrels. When they were about half through. Father Sill arrived in outing costume, accompanied by Ash and Evans. Another pitched battle was started hut was nipped in the hud by Father Sill before it got under way. Almost immediately lunch was served, after which work was resumed for an hour. In the meantime six or seven fellows went over to the estate of Mr. Brasier . the artist, where cider was being made. The fellows were given a small jug to sample, hut it was noticeable that the critics demanded quantity rather than quality. After this party returned the apple picking was resumed, and soon all the barrels, about seventeen in num-l cr were filled and in addition a large number of sacks. These were sent back in the wagon. The fourteen fellows adjourned to Mr. Brasicm and hel| cd gather apples and oj)crate the press. Thanks to the owners’ generosity. everybody had all lie wanted of the new made eider to drink. At about half past two the return was begun and the Sixth Form reached home after a happy and successful day at half past three. 23
