The Rev. Mr. Cheung Chuk-ling presided at the function, which was attended by a large gathering of pupils and their parents and friends. The progressive state of the school was evidenced by the Headmistress's report, in which she stated that all the pupils who sat for the Junior Local Examination at the Hongkong University in 1929 had got through, thus keeping up the tradition of the school. She said that the entries were small. but the candidates were not select ed; they were just those girls who had worked up steadily from the lower forms.

Headmistress' Report.

The Acting Headmistress, in the course of her report stated:

1999 will always be remembered as the year of the great drought, Our school well went dry and we were in honour bound not to use more

History.

We are not like St. Paul's College, the foundations of whose building were actually laid 80 years ago. But our own history goes back 84 years, to the time of Dr. Lexae, when the Y.W.G.S. was started by Mrs Legge in connexion with the Ying Wa Boys' College. There was, certainly, a very long break in the record, and no permanent special building for the Y.W.G.S. until 30 years ago. But this year is the thirtieth anniversary of our older building, and therefore of present school, although our history does go back 54 years farther than that.

Numbers.

The year 1999 brought us nothing marvellous in the way of numbers. But we have grown steadily and naturally, preferring to consolidate our work rather than to extend too widely. Year by year, our upper school is developing and enlarging,

while our lower school does not diminish in numbers. Girls coming late find the classes which they wished to enter already full, and leave us sorrowfully to return, they Any, to try the entrance examina- tion again the following termi

Early last year we decided that the University examinations being held towards the end of the year necessitated our changing our School calendar from the old style Chinese moon-reckoning (which is still so much observed, and which we had kept up for the convenience of our Chinesò friends) to the or- dinary sun-calendar. We were told that this could not be done; but the change has been made quite easily without

any question whatever. The Kindergarten, and the two lower classes, certainly, did not en- tirely fill up till after Chinese New Year, but we started work on January 10th with quite good num- bera, and all our middle classes full. Unfortunately, we have not kept

"All work and no play" makes n Jilk a dull girl as well as Jack dull boy; but there is no sign of dullness about the playground and the games played there, nor yet in the sounds that come up from school in the luncheon piny hour.

The Games Mistress gives our upper classes great praise for the way in which they work together, and for their side, in games. As "team work" is a most valuable thing to learn, and playing the game" has great significance through after-life, we are glad always that games should be played with much zest and earnestness, and we cant them as a most important nart of the school curriculum.

It must be very gratifying to the Headmistress to find old pupils of the Ying Wa returning to the School as teachers.

Another interesting factor is that some of the pupils have work ed their way from the kindergarten to the Senior Form. One girl told me she had been at the School for fourteen years; an excellent record when one remembers the strikes of 1922 and of 1925.
