I n particular, his requests for permission w i l l be granted more easily than those of lower ranking boys.

His loyalty to the School must be unquestioned and its good name is i n his keeping. I t is consequently his duty to watch over every aspect of the life of the School and to assist the Headmaster and the Council to maintain its standards and traditions. His watchword is Service. His characteristics are h u m i l i t y and concern for others, and his privileges are enjoyed i n virtue of the services he renders.
