RAFFLES INSTITUTION — Elected by their peers, the 45th Students’ Council was sworn in on Thursday, May 28th. And although the notable absence of the newly appointed President Michelle Chen (26S03J) —away on a school trip to Germany—was sorely felt, the lecture theatre maintained an ebullient yet solemn atmosphere, with the fresh-faced members of the 45th awaiting a mantle 44 years in the making.
