TIli'RSIAY
This was the day of the Ca-
det Inspection but the school
day itself was rather une• Lnr-
ful. 'There was a slight flurry
of interest when "God Save the
Queen" was played in the en-
tirety over the P.A. system at
the start of classes in the morn-
ing since the record which is
usually played is an abbrevia-
ted form of that old favourite.
Speculation ran high for a litrlt
while that the 1.0.D. had
seized control of transmission
headquarters. 1low c vet, no one
is ever too sure what is going to
come over the intercom. There
was one memorable morning in
the past when 'God Save the
Queen' was replaced by 'The
Star-Spangled Banner'.
FRIDAY
The long version of "God
Save the Queen" issued forth
from the intercom again.
The one gig event of the day
was an Assembly at 3.00. Vast
piles of bars, crests, certifi-
cates and other awards were
distributed to students who had
engaged in everything frorn
wrestling to writing, from curl-
ing to cadets.
During the Assembly, Mr.
Madill introduced the topic of
the Prefect System which will
go into operation next year.
Prefects chosen frorn Grades
Twelve and Thirteen will as-
sume some of the supervisory
duties now carried out by the
teaching staff.
Alex Hamilton and Brenda
MacLennan reported to the stu-
dent body on the operation of
the Prefect System at London
Wheahle Collegiate. They had
been sent there, with the other
three members of the Student
Council Executive as observers.
