ANNUAL REPORT ON THE STREET BOYS' CLUB FOR 1937.
1. The total membership at the end of December, 1937, was eleven. All the members are in regular employment with the exception of Lai Chiu who was formerly employed in the Police Store.
2. During the year, one member resigned, two absconded and two left the Club on marriage.
3. Four new members joined the club during the year.
4. Mr. Fu Fan Kau, the Club school teacher in English and Chinese, continued his keen interest and the members have shown their appreciation by good attendances at the classes during the year, though there was a slight falling off during the last two months.
5. During the summer months the members were taken to the Y.M.C.A. matshed, North Point, for swimming classes. The officials of the Y.M.C.A. kindly gave them the use of their club premises. Unfortunately the matshed was completely destroyed by the typhoon. An application was made to the Committee of the Chung Sing Bathing Club, Kennedy Town, for the use of their club and this was kindly granted. The members availed themselves of this opportunity and twice weekly the classes were well attended.
6. All the members who attended the swimming classes were able to swim.
7. Six members entered for the 50 yards race, open to Messengers and Street Boys' Club, at the Annual Police Aquatic Sports held at the Victoria Recreation Club on the 11th of September, 1937. The first two places were taken by members of the Club.

9. Lo Shu Wan, a member of the Club, was commended by Mr. Schofield at the Central Magistracy on the 8th of August, 1937, for his capture of a Chinese male Chan Yau at Connaught Road West near Western Street. The man was sentenced to two months H.L. for Larceny and Lo Shu Wan was granted a reward $10.00 by the Commissioner of Police.
10. The Chinese Y.M.C.A. again placed their Gymnasium at the disposal of the Club. Through the kind offices of the Directorate Games, drill and gymnastic classes were held twice weekly (except during the swimming season).
