I guess this would be akin to the American "Student Class President" often
elected by classmates along with a Vice president, Secretary and Treasurer.
This was a joke, quite literally, in my public high school as someone (known
for drug abuse and a general apathetic view of school) was nominated and
won.  It says a lot about the other people in my class who voted for him.
The result is haunting us some 15 years later as we've yet to have a real
reunion, raise money for the class or any of the other things that Student
President Alums are supposed to do.  The difference with Head Boy/ Girl and
Class Presidents is that in the British situation, you have one of each
gender and Class President is for which ever candidate gets the most votes
regardless of gender.  Had we followed the British model, we would have most
likely had a 50% better chance of having elected someone with
qualifications! :o)
