“Prefects’ privileges were their room, their badge and their exemption from detentions and punishments. They also had the privilege of power. At its most formal, in a Prefects’ Meeting, they judged and punished fellow students. The Captain chaired the meeting and administered the strokes (cuts) of the cane. The meeting also imposed lesser penalties like detentions or warnings. Boys could appeal to the Principal, but rarely did so, and Principals usually ratified the sentence.
