Among the larger projects completed and occupied was the City Hall, which contains a large concert hall, a smaller theatre, a ballroom and banqueting hall, and a High Block housing a library, exhibition rooms, lecture rooms and other facilities. Education buildings included the new Northcote Training College at Pok Fu Lam, Kowloon Secondary Technical School, the Ho Tung Girls' Technical School, Tsuen Wan Secondary Modern School, Yuen Long Middle School, eight 30-classroom primary schools, and extensions to a number of existing schools. The Cape Collinson Crematorium and staff quarters were com- pleted. The crematorium is of special interest as it provides separate chapels or pavilions for Christian, Chinese and Hindu funeral rites, together with a garden of remembrance. A further stage was reached in the development of Kai Tak Airport when the new passenger terminal was put into operation in November. A stores and workshops block was constructed for use by airlines, and the airport police station was also completed.
