Colin supplied these images of the Llewelyn badges. He was Head Prefect and Gary Griffiths the Deputy in the 1963-4 year. He said that there were few if any privileges, instead prefects had the task of keeping lower school boys out of the building at break and lunchtime, often being besieged at the door near Room 3 and the stairs to the staff room. Also, there was bus duty. This involved keeping order at the bus stop on the school side of the main road and allowing innocent Aberdare citizens to leave the bus before hoards of our boys joined the crush to get on. Gary and Colin also had to propose and second a vote of thanks to the guest speaker at the Distribution of Certificates ceremony. |
