In the previous year the percentage of passes in the lower school and upper school were respectively 85% and 57%. This year for the Junior Local Examination we presented 108 students. Of these 45 passed or 42%, gaining 50 distinctions. Of these students -67 were Q. C. boys of whom 36 passed, or 53%, gaining 44 distinctions. (Last year 51 entered for the Junior and 22 passed, or 43%, gaining 8 distinctions.) Forty- one boys were from King's College Classes. Of these 9 passed or 22%, with six distinctions.
For the Senior Local and Matriculation Examinations we presented 30 boys. Of these 24 passed, or 80%. Twelve of these were in the Matriculation and 12 in the Senior Local, with 8 distinctions and one boy in the honours list. Last year we presented 28 boys of whom 20 passed or 71%.
We are pleased to see that among those whom the Univer- sity has honoured this year are some of our former pupils. The Ho Fook Scholarship at the University which is the award to the best student in the Arts Course, 2nd Year, has been awarded to our Senior Morris Scholar of two years ago. And in the 3rd Year at the University the Chan Kai-ming Scholarship which is the award to the best student in the 3rd Year, Arts Course, has been awarded to a Senior Morrison Scholar of three years ago. These results are very gratifying.

The Maximum Enrolment (January only) was 644.
The Average Attendance (January only) was 628.
The College began the year well with 644 pupils in January, but during the Chinese New Year Holidays the building was handed over to the Military. Boys in Classes 8 to 5 (inclusive) were transferred temporarily to the Ellis Kadoorie School and the remainder to Queen's College.
The Head Master, Mr. A. Morris, was transferred to the Education Office where he gave welcome and valuable assistance and Mrs. Morris to the Victoria British School where she very ably took the place of the Head Mistress, Mrs. Clark, who was on leave. The remaining Members of the Staff were transferred with their Classes to Queen's College or the Ellis Kadoorie School.
