HEAD PREFECTS REPORT 'ls-an-Nu I 'has'-- x 5v. This year has been considered by almost all as better than last year. The school ,just this year was throwing off' all the after effects of amalgamation. Many things haye been forgotten while many new things haye been remem- bered. and much ofthe spirit which was lost in the amalgamation ofthe schools is now finding its way back into the hearts of the boys. This was yery eyident in inter-house swimming where the battle for points was close and ones ears rang from the yell of house supporters. On the rugby pitch sidelines the support from staff. boys. and parents showed again and again how school spirit was growing by the week. Definitely the senior boys tried to introduce school spirit into the houses and I IHUSI say they succeeded. The XX Club was extremely actiye this year and as usual ran the tuck shop with much proficiency. They were actiye in sparking school spirit as well as producing entertainment. The dance committee was excellent throughout the year and created three excellent dances. all a smashing success. The Prefects were extremely well trained and did a yery goodjob. which was not that easy. They emphasized discipline and with the help of Mr. Williams were yery successful in their objectiye. I should like to express my deep gratitude for the fine job they did. In conclusion. I would like to thank Nlr. Caleb and Nlr. Williams for all their support and adyice. On behalfof the boys I would like to thank the staff for the many hours of teaching in the classroom and coaching on the playing fields. I would like to wish the best of luck and success to all those who are returning in the years to come. We hope that each year will be an eyen greater success than the prey ious one. It is the boys who make the school and school spirit is essen- tial. Murray fNIcCarten Head Prefect 1973-74 8

FROM THE DEP TY HEADMASTER 39 H FK Wu, W wk X 1 A Deputy Headmaster's message can be square or round to match the man. I don't really mind how this one comes out as far as its shape is concerned. It can be twisted into any configuration that the readers feel is appropriate. What is more important is whether or not it is sincere. There is so much hypocrisy, so much double dealing and deceit in this world - and so much ofit slipped in and hammered into people in a theatrical virulence ofwords, that we all grow tired ofit. Any message can only be of real signihtance if it is simple and honest. I hope mine is both. The year has been a very very hard one for us all, for you and me. It's been a very successful one too! And why? Because you guys, at least the great majority of you, liked the School enough and believed in the School enough to take what was dished out to you and to come back for more. There were times when you were teed off and worse, but the point is that you kept rolling right on and bounced back in the best traditions ofthe thousands of fellows who have done it before you. Full marks for guts and understanding, much of it well beyond your years. Full marks, no matter how you cut it. 1i.k1.vv. 7
