I still have the SGS prefect badge which we wore on our lapels. Who else still has theirs?

Still have my Richard Hind prefect’s badge somewhere but at Grangefield we had a tie denoting a prefect.
The need for 6th Formers to wear caps had been abolished shortly before I joined in 1959. “Ben” the Physics Master grumbled about it
No badges in the 1950s. Prefects had light blue ribbons sewn diagonally across their dark blue caps which had to worn at all times in town, either going to or leaving school. Can you imagine todays boys wearing old fashioned caps?
I remember being terrified of the prefects when I first arrived at SGS in 1963. They seemed like giants.
I joined SGS in 1961 at the old Norton Road site and then moved to Fairfield new school. I remember the Hounam twins prefers at Norton Road identical twins they were a nightmare to tell apart and they played in it whenever giving ‘lines’.
“Get in line”….”No running in the corridors!”
Remember the badges well, although I never reached the heady heights
