PREFECT BOARD The Prefect Boards main objects are to guard the honor system, to share with the masters most of the super- vision duties, and to serve as leaders and advisors to the students, especially to the new boys. Under the capable leadership of Bill Williamson, Senior Prefect of the '47- '48 session, this year's board has notably performed its many duties, in- cluding those concerning the School's business and discipline. Unique in its origin and history, the board has be- come progressive as the years have passed, and novv represents the demo- cratic vein in the School's organization. This important and vital part of the community's administration has, through its straight-forward character, sincere loyalty, and ability, gained the respect and whole-hearted cooperation of both the boys and masters. All are justly proud of these boys who helped greatly in the smoothness and efli- cieney of the Schools many activities. 28
