+PERHAPS SOME OF TODAY'S GRADUATES WILL BECOME TEACHERS OR ADMINISTRATORS AND PLAY THEIR PART IN THIS GREAT ENTERPRISE. BUT ALL OF THEM MUST BE WONDERING A LITTLE WHAT THEY WILL DO NEXT, AND WHAT LIFE HAS IN STORE FOR THEM. I AM SURE THAT WITH THE EDUCATION YOU HAVE RECEIVED YOU ARE WELL EQUIPPED TO MAKE THE BEST OF IT. BUT I DO ASK YOU NEVER TO UNDER-ESTIMATE YOUR IMPORTANCE AS A MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY. REMEMBER THAT HOW OUR CITY OF HONG KONG DEVELOPS DEPENDS ON YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO ITS LIFE. YOUR SCHOOL HAS BEEN AND IS DOING EVERYTHING IN ITS POWER TO PREPARE YOU TO MAKE THIS CONTRIBUTION, YOU NEED ONLY LOOK AT THE MANY EX-WAH YAN BOYS WHO ARE NOW LEADING PERSONALITIES TO REALISE THAT THIS IS SO.
+1 AM CONFIDENT THAT YOU, THE PUPILS AND RECENT GRADUATES PRESENT THIS EVENING, WILL CARRY ON THIS TRADITION OF COMMUNITY SERVICE AND THAT YOUR PRINCIPAL AND TEACHERS WILL HAVE GOOD REASON TO BE PROUD OF YOU.+
