The New Wing.
Last year, Miss Atkins told you that we were looking forward to moving into the new Wing. That hope has now been realised, and we are in occupation of every part except the 'sclence rooms, where we shall be having classes after the Chinese New Year holidays. We are very glad that Mrs. Ware is coming back to do this work.
We feel, with the addition of the science laboratory to the school, that a long felt need has been supplied. In addition, to sore dormitories and class rooms, the new wing has given us an art room, a covered playground, and a quiet room.
Prior to the distribution of awards, a concert was given by studenta, ranging from numbers given by the kindergarten to some by the upper classes, all being ren- dored in English. Plano sales were given by Miss Carolino Braga, Miss Ruth Ling, and Miss In the University local examina. Lai Chung-yue.
