Girls and Boys Dux Deboprana Mallick and Wesley Donald are pictured above with Professor Peter Phillips, an Albertian and Dux in 1965, who donated and presented the Centennial Cups for Dux.
A highlight of our Senior Prizegiving on November 1 was the inaugural presentation of the Centennial Cups for Dux to Deboprana Mallick and Head Prefect Wesley Donald.
For 100 years MAGS has not had a cup to present to its Dux, something that Professor Peter Phillips has rectified by donating magnificent cups for the Boys and Girls Dux.
Professor Phillips, an Albertian, was well aware of this anomaly, having been named Dux in 1965 at Senior Prizegiving, where he received some books while others were photographed with cups.
