The ending of the nineteenth year of the MacDuflie self help system is an example of the success of MacDuHie cooperation and student government, in which all students participate. The students are responsible, at MacDuflie, for keeping their own rooms, the dormitories and the dining room neat and clean. All share this responsibility equally and are guided by a group of eleven seniors. These seniors are prefects and hold the responsibility of supervising the duties, heading the student government, and working together to handle minor disciplinary problems. The prefects are announced at Commencement in June. The senior prefect is re- sponsible for organizing and coordinating the other prefects. lt is the highest appointed office in the school. This year's prefects were: Lee Cranshaw, Wallace Hall, Martha Wardner, Howard Hall, Beth Kramer, Downing Hallg Heather Frazier, Main House, Pat O'Koon, Head of dining roomg Carol Kobs and Viki Moss, Dining room, and Marsha Palmer, Castle House and Senior prefect.
