follows:--In reports Sports, as usual, the School has had successful year. At the conclusion of the swimming season a very enjoyable picuae and gale was held at Laichikok. Tho races were keenly contested, most of the Senior events being won by Mason, and the Junior by A. Read. In the R.A.A.F. gala, held at the V.R.C, on October 700, our representative, K. Mason, carried off the 220 yards open race, which was highly creditable. Io Fousball, our Junior Eleven has done re- markably well, having gone through the season with only one luss, and being placed second in the League. The Senior Eleven has not done so well; in this con- nection it might be said that some of the Senior boys did not show the necessary enthusiasm required to keep a school high in the field of sport. 4 Volley Ball team entered the Lengne with medium success. In this respect we were undoubtedly handicapped by the want of a regulation Volley Ball ground for practice pur- poses. Tennis has been very popular throughout the year. A lengthy tourna ment resulted in a win for E. Gourdin, who gained 1 games out of a possible 110.

It is satisfactory to find that the school as a whole does not show any signs of weariness in well doing. Besides making themselves responsible for the mainten suce of two small Chinese orphans in the Victoria Home and the Foundling Homo, respectively, they have during the past year made special efforts to help the funds of the Ministering Lengue and the Red Cross Society, and altogether have succeeded in raising the sum of $1,600 for different charities. One of the most.. enjoyable of school days was that on which, by the kind permission of Dr. Gibson, of the Nethersole Hospital, tho small protege of the Honghong Branch of the Ministering Children's League was brought down, cot and all, under the charge of one of the nurses, so that she might participate in the joys of a Magic Lantern shown at the school.
