"If, 28 years ago I had had the money, I should probably have gone back Home from Hongkong by the first boat, the first one that could have carried me; but since that time I have changed a good deal and probably circumstances have changed in this college, and now I need not tell you that it is a great wrench to me to go away." With these words Mr. A. H. Crook, the popular headmaster of Queen's College, addressed the students yesterday, when he bade them farewell prior to his depar- ture, for Home leave from which he may not return to Hongkong.

The whole school, together with the staff, which included Mr. Kay, the second master and Mr. F. J. de Rome, the future Headmaster of the College, assembled in the Great Hall. The gifts were a blackwood jose table, inlaid with stained wood and bearing the in- scription on a silver plate, "Pre- sented to A. H. Crook, Esq., by the students of Queen's College, on the occasion of his leaving Hongkong. March 1930."

A second gift was a bronze in- cense barner, and a third a beauti. ful blackwood tray with treatie, in- laid with silver, bearing the same inscription as the table.

Mr. W. Kay said they were as sembled that afternoon to wish Mr. Crouk a good voyage and a very pleasant holiday in England. At the present Mr. Grook did not know whether he would be coming back or not, but they hoped he would. If Mr. Crook did not come back there were two things they were certain of. Mr. Crook would always take an interest in Queen's College and Queen's College would never forget Mr. Crook.

Good-bye to A Friend.

Mr. Crook Replies.

This, together with Mr. Kay's the speech, was translated into vernacular, after which Mr. Crook acknowledged the presents in the following words:

Mr. Kay, colleaguce, head prefect and boys of Queen's College:

so)-if about that time I had had

It was now more than 27 years since Mr. Crook came to the school, and as second and headmaster there, Mr. Crook had been very popular with the teachers and boys. They were saying good-bye to a friend. When Mr. Tanner went away many people shook their heads and said that Queen's College would never have such a popular the money I should probably have man. but Mr. Crook had proved just as popular as Mr. Tanner.

Mr. Crook had looked after their learning, sporta, health and be haviour. If Mr. Crook did come back then he was sure to get a good welcome, and if he did not re- turn, then they hoped he would have many useful and happy years with his own family in the Old | Country,
