YEAR BOOK, 1955 Page 13 SECOND INSTALLATION OF PREFECTS On February 2nd, a second Installation of Prefects was held in the gymnasium. Two new Prefects and three Sub-prefects, who had been chosen because of their outstanding work for the school since the beginning of the term, were appointed. We were fortunate in having as our speaker Mrs. Van Every, a former Head Girl, who told us about life at Branksome in her school days. From the heartiness of the applause, we know that the entire school enjoyed her speech and appreciated her coming. The officers appointed on October 8th and February 2nd will look back on these installations as two memorable occasions among the happy times they have enjoyed at Branksome.
