President's Speech

In his address to the gathering, the President of the Association, Mr. Ko Fook-aun, said:

On behalf of our Past Students' Association, I have great pleasure in welcoming you all to this party, I am very happy to see so many cheerfully gathered in this old homestead, where we have spent many happy daya together. Amidst these old and familiar surroundings of our school days, I am sure every one of us now feels deep regard and noction towards the Alma Mater, Well, this larpo attendance here sperka volumes for our affection for and interest in the Alma Mater. We have come, indeed, to realise, fully our great indebtedness towards her, and it is this indebtedness, coupled with our earnest desire for reunions among Wahyanites, who have, after, having school, entered different professiona in and outside of this Colony, that gave birth to this Association.

T

I remember when I returned from abroad five months ago, I was extremely anxiour bo meet those Wahyunites who had spent with me the early days of their boyhood under the same sheltering roof of the Alma Mater. Some of their names are always in my -mind and their faces are atill

familiar, but I had in-

not the about the good old days opportunity to chat with

them when our school lives were so interest- ing. However, I am not the only one who clamours for this oppor- tunity and I believe many are in the same bout with me.

We are pleased to be able to an- nounce a big reduction in price. Many new lines have been troduced which regulate bodily temperature and impart health and fitness to the wearer.
