DIOCESAN SCHOOL OLD
BOYS' ASSOCIATION
Successful Annual Function
The annual meeting and dinner of the Diocesan School Old Boys Association was held on Saturday at the School. A large gathering of Old Boys and their friends graced the occasion and the spirit of reunion which abounded went far to make the even- ing a great success,
At the meeting which preceded the dinner, M. Peter H. Sin was elected president for the ensuing year and Dr. Li Shą Fan was elected Vice-President. Mr. Peter¡U. Sin replaces Mr. J. M. Wong who at the function took the Chair both for the Meeting and Dinner.
Among those present at thedinner were the Rev. F. L. Nash (Acting Headmaster), Messrs. R. H. Kotewall, P. S. Cassidy, H. B. L. Dowbiggin, E. Cock, the Rev. H. W. Baines, Dr. Arthur Woo Professor L Forster and many others,
YEAR'S ACTIVITIES REVIEWED
In his speech the Chairman of the Association, Mr. J. M. Wons, said in pars:---
*The subscriptions collected during 1935 only amounted to $812, as against $1,701 collected during 1934. Let us hope that 1936 will | produce a rapid improvement in
trade
conditions in Hong Kong and, will bring prosperity and hap- piness to all D.B.S. Old Boys and their friends,
"Our association has now de- cided to admit associate members and it is hoped that more friends or old boys will now be able to take a personal interest in our activities.
L
"Last year there were 122 or- dinary members and eight life members, as against 68 ordinary members and four life members in 1934 and 99 ordinary members and two life members in 1933.
"On an occasion like this I think it would be an appropriate and graceful act if we were to telegraph a message of greetings to our late beloved Headmaster, Mr. "ee. Piercy. and Mrs. Piercy, and if you will agree to this being gone we will ask Mr. Nash kindly to do so on our behalf.
"It 1 most gratifying io old boys to know that Mr. Nash 15 the Acting Headmaster of the School. We all feel that he will be very worthy and able sub- stitute for Mr. Sargent during the latters leave of absence from the

In his speech the Acting. Head master, the Rev. E. L. Nash, said: "The D. B. §. is a limited liabi- lity company *in which all old boys are shareholders. They have pald up the calls upon their capi- tal from time to time, not with currency of the realm but with ine quite as good currency of the spirit -with sympathy and interest and understanding. I have had the pleasure of altting on only one vid Boys' Committee, but if the en- thusiasm of the head displayed at that committee is any indication or the life of the body the D.

EXAMINATION SYSTEM The main job in Ilfe, I suppose, la to earn your bread and butter -an increasingly dificult thing." as many of us are finding out in this strange old world. I am can- scious as much as any one else that our examination system as at present conducted is not only by no means perfect, but absolutely crying out for intelligent reform, that it cribs, cabins and confines and, what is worse, unfairly limits certain types of mentality in their start in life. I do not like to think that examinations are the be-all and end-all of school life; but un- der existing conditions it is foolish to minimise their importance and kick against the prieks.
"I should like to mention the D.B.S successes in last year's School Certificate Examination, when we gained the highest per centage of all non-Government boys' schools. The two higher schools are in the fortunate vposi- on of being able to attract the intelligentsia of the Colony by numerous scholarships and attrac- tively low fees,

"(1) The success of last year's class 1A and their splendid con- tribution of personality to the D.B.S. was largely due to the fact that they had lived and grown in the school. Many had worked up the school as a class, and as a class were fiercely conscious of their unity and superiority.

LIPTON'S TEA HINTS
There is nothing easier than to make tea well-except to make it badly.
So here are some hints on how to make the best of it.
1
BUYING, TEA. Tea is the cheapest and most economical drink in the world. From one pound of good tea you can brew as many as 200 cups. And it pays in the long run to buy good tex because it is more economical, to use, and the difference between the cost of one cup of poor tea and one cup of good tea is so infinitesimally small as not to matter. But there is all the difference in the flavour and it is the flavour that is really the luxury that everyone can now afford.
STORE TEA IN AN AIR-TIGHT CONTAINER. Tea loses its flavour if it is exposed to the air for long, especially in a moist climate. It ought to be kept in a caddy, or in a glass jar with a screw top, or in clean tin.
USE THE RIGHT KIND OF TEA-POT earthenware tea-pot for making good tea.

USE ONLY FRESHLY BOILED WATER. Take care to warm the pot thoroughly before putting in the tea. Then pour on freshly boiled water-not water that has been allowed to simmer. Better tea will be made if the kettle is kept free from the line or chalk deposits of. bard water.
ALLOW FOUR MINUTES FOR INFUSION. Pour freshly boiled water on to the loaves until the tea-pot is full, but don't pour out the tea into cups until you have allowed it to stand for at least four minutes. The lid, of course, should be put back to soon as the water is poured into the pot, and then the whole should be covered with a cosy. Don't forget that ten should never be allowed to "stew."" If it is allowed to stand too long tea loses all its virtue and its flavour,
