QUEEN'S COLLEGE OLD BOYS' ASSOCIATION.

SPEECHES AT THE NINTH ANNUAL DINNER.

HON. MR. BRAGA ON THE COLLEGE'S ACHIEVEMENTS.

The ninth annual dinner of the Queen's College Old Boys" Association was held in the hall of the College on Saturday night and was attended by a gathering of over two hundred members and guests.

Mr. Lo Chung Shiu, President of the Queen's College Old Boys Association, occupied the chair and he was supported by Mr. A. H. Crook, the headmaster of the school and by Mr. H, X. Hung, both of whom are Vice-Presidents of the Association.

The entrance to the school hall was very prettily decorated with coloured lights and dags' and within the big hall itself," the

·decorations were extremely effective. The school's colours, red and white, were prominent everywhere and lanterns and festoons of flowers helped to complete a very pleasing scheme

The band of the s.s. President Wilson, which was in port, provided the diners with a lively programme of music and fol lowing the dinner a musical concert was given. THE PRESIDENT'S SPEECH,

Addressing the gathering, the President said:

Mr. Crook and Gentlemen,-It is my pleasant duty to propose the toast of "Queen's. College.

The Premier School.

I have missed but few of these annual dinners and I would not willingly miss any. Every time 1 find myself in this old hall. I am reminded of the good old times I spent here, first as a student, and afterwards as a pupil teacher. I am proud that I received my educa- tion here, and I am proud that my Old College, in the words of His Excellency the Governor at our last Prize Distribution, bids fair to remain the premier school of the Colony (Applause).

The Stan's Work.

The tradition of every school is of course largely the tradition of its masters. The Queen's College's tradition has always stood high be cause it has ever been fortunate in its staff. And I venture to think that the College is fortunate in its present staff, who, with the en- couragement of the genial and Jearned headmaster, give of their best in moulding and educating the ever-increasing number of students to face an increasingly competitive world and in making, or perhaps, I should say, in con- tinuing to make, Queen's College household word, not only in Hong Kong, but throughout China.

son who was high up in the, com- munity's esteem, whom he saw amongst the guests was Mr. Li Yau sun, who began his service for public welfare long before many anongst the gathering, were born.

Mr. Anderson then spoke of the presence of the Hon. Mr. J. P. Braga, whom he described as Pre sident of a sister organisation The St. Joseph's Old Boys' Association. Another guest, Mr. T. N. Chau, had just been appointed to sit on the Sanitary Board. said the speaker, was young and willing and would win his spurs in one department of public useful-
