<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a little question about the terms head-boy
and head-girl:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I always considered 'boy'/'girl' to be equivalent
to 'child' (age 4-12). The Hogwarts seventh-year students are 17-18. Does the
term 'boy'/'girl' still apply to them? Isn't there a more appropriate word in
English? In Hebrew there's a different word for 12-17 age group, and then
another one for the 17-21 age group. Is there anything similar?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks, yael</FONT></DIV>
