46, NATHAN ROAD, KOWLOON
We are deeply grateful to Dr. Tso for help and encouragement by the offer of prizes or scholar- ships to be awarded for vernacular subjects which, we believe, will prove a real incentive to greater Interest. At the same time it has been decided to make Vernacular a compulsory subject for promo- tion, as well as English and mathematics.
In the recent Local examinations we passed 2 Matribulation, 5 Senior and 9 Junior. In the Junior, classes, particularly in class 6, the standard was quite good.
In Sports
In sports it was quite a success- ful year. Inter-group or inter- house competitions were beld throughout the year in football, basketball and volleyball. The school football team has won ail the matches so far. In the Inter- school competition we won the 'championship in the senior divi- sion; and in the inter-school vol- leyball we secured the first place in the junior and small boys divi- sions, for the fourth year. The annual tennis tournament attract- ed a large number of entries; three tennis matches were, played with other schools during the year.
The boarders are to be con- igratulated on their successful man- agement of the free night'school
·which had an "enrolment of over a hundred.
To Mr. and Mrs. Evan Stewart "we all wish a very prosperous voy- age and happy time in England.
