The School was full throughout the entire year, and several hundred applicants were unable to secure admission.
The attendance was excellent, several Classes maintaining an unbroken record for a period of six consecutive weeks, while fifty-five boys—one sixth of the entire School—made full attendances for the year.
The discipline and tone of the School continue excellent.
The general standard of efficiency has been maintained; Map Drawing, English Conversation and Composition are particularly well taught. As in preceding years Handwriting continues to merit special praise. At the Vere Forster's International Writing Competition five Copy Books which were entered won special mention; all were awarded Certificates of Merit and three earned prizes in addition.
During the Summer Vacation a well-attended Class in Mandarin was conducted by Mr. Yin Chung-yu, an undergraduate at the University. Good work was done and interest maintained to the end of the course.
The School is used regularly as a Training School by the University Education undergraduates.
In sports the School has done well; Volley Ball and Football were played and during the summer season swimming was enjoyed regularly by the whole school.
A Troop of Boy Scouts—numbering 50—has been formed, the uniform and equipment being provided by the generosity of Mr. Ho Kom-tong. The Troop spent a week at Cheung Chau during August and although the weather was wet the boys put in some useful training.
Scout Master Leung Yuk-tong has given much time and thought to the movement, and the high state of efficiency which has been attained, as shown at the Inauguration Ceremony in October and in the subsequent Report of the Commission, is due to his assiduous care and attention. One of the Patrol Leaders has been awarded the Gilt-Cross and a Certificate from the Head Quarters in London, for gallantry displayed in saving a boy from drowning. This is the first honour of the kind to reach the Colony.
In December two of the Scouts were given a trip as Cadets to British North Borneo and were able to supplement the knowledge of seamanship gained on H.M.S. Tamar earlier in the year.
Past Pupils. One former pupil has secured a Scholarship given by the Namyeung Tobacco Co. and is now studying at the Chicago University. Twelve others—now at Queen's College—recently passed the University Junior Local Examination; one of these, the "Alan Morris Scholar", obtained five distinctions.
