| The
evening of Monday, December 17th was a
pleasant social occasion for the school,
attended by present and past pupils,
parents and staff. It was quite a
historic occasion as, owing to the
reorganisation of local government,
Prescot Grammar School ceases to be
controlled by Lancashire, and from April
1974 will come under the Metropolitan
District of Knowsley. Hence for Chairman
of the Governors, County Alderman Mrs. S.
Heyes, who presented the prizes, it was
rather a sad occasion. However, in her
address, Mrs. Heyes pledged her
continuing interest in the school, an
interest which she has shown so
un-stintingly since the school's
inception. She spoke of the high academic
achievement of the pupils and hoped that
this would be maintained. In welcoming the
guests, Miss Smith also praised the
efforts of the girls. She was pleased
with the examination results, the
willingness to work throughout the sixth
form and the award of such good 'A' level
grades. Miss Smith also spoke of the
difficulty sometimes encountered by
leavers in choice of career. She said
that there was a tremendous
responsibility on each individual to come
to a prudent decision by exploring
possibilities while still at school.
Mis
Smith went on to say that the 1973 'O'
level results were of particular interest
as this was the first year in which the
fifth form had not been put into
different streams according to ability.
She was pleased to report that the
percentage of passes this year was the
highest in the school's history.
After
the distribution of certificates and
prizes, the guests adjourned to the
dining room and the gym for refreshments
and conversation. The evening was
undoubtedly a success.
