Music Exam Results Here

Results of the Theory of Music Examinations for which 12 Hong Kong candidates' sat in December, have bren re- ceived by Mr. R. T. Burch the Secretary of the Local Board of the College.

The results disclose a remark- ubly high standard of ability and preparation. There was one ful- lure and of the passes more than 50 per cent were with Honours and 30 per cent with Mèrit.

The successful candidates were Higher Local, Julin Kwai Choy Chung (Passed).

Advanced Intermediate Divi- Auyang, Donald Grace Clan, Evelyn Kwomi (Possett with honours).

Intermediate Division: Yuen Chan Tong (Pass).

Advanced Junior: Clorla Wong. Esther Wong. Darothy TAB. Rose. Frank Yu, Theresa Wong (Pussed Ng Quinn (Passed with bolors) with Merit).

The Arst ve candidates are, pupils of Mr. Barry Ure, the re- amainder of Mra E. Young

The Local Board, consisting of Mr. D. L. Strellett (Chaitnán). Mirs. Betty Drown and Father Ryan, have been advised that the prospect of an Examiner from the College visiting the Far East. to canduat periodical practical examinations as prewar, is blill remote.

The chief obstacles are unreli. able transportation and unsettled conditions. The Board estimåtèg that in Hong Kong alone there are over 100 candidates prepared to sit for the various grades of practical examinations at reason- able notice.
