SCHOOL PRIZE GIVINGS.
SAIYINGPUN SCHOOL.
The annual prize-giving at this school took place yesterday.
There were on the platform: the Hon. Mr. E.A.Irving (Director of Education) and Mrs. Irving, Mr. E.Ralphs (Inspector of English Schools), Mr. Teesdale Mackintosh (Registrar of the Hongkong University), the Rev. G.T.Waldegrave and the Headmaster of the school (Mr. A.Morris).
The Headmaster’s Report stated:-
The maximum enrolment during 1922 was 339 (368 in 1921). The average attendance 333 (319 in 1921). Fees amounted $11,061. The school has remained full throughout the year, and a large number of prospective pupils were unable to secure admission. We look forward expectantly to the completion of our new School which will accommodate greater numbers. The attendance has been good, and for a few months the percentage was as high as 96. Several classes maintained an unbroken record for a period of five consecutive weeks, while 72 boys, – one-fifth of the whole School – made perfect attendance. The general standard of efficiency has been maintained: Map drawing, Handwriting, English conversation and composition are particularly good. All the pupils in class 4 successfully passed the qualifying entrance examination to Queen’s College. The discipline and tone continue excellent. Substantial additions have been made to the apparatus and equipment. The University education undergraduates use the School for teaching purposes. Although handicapped for ground we have done well in Sport. Volley ball and football are the principal games; during the summer, launch picnics and swimming were much enjoyed.
Our Scouts attended at Government House during the visit of H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, when Patrol Leader Lo Kwok Chung was decorated by H.R.H. with the gilt cross for gallantry in saving a boy from drowning at Kennedy Town bathing beach. During August the troop spent nine days in camp at Castle Peak; the expenses were generously defrayed by Sir Robert Ho Tung, the Hon. Mr. Chow Shou Son, Messrs. Lo Cheung Shiu, Choy Wai Man, Leung Ki Lo, and Dr. Wan Man Kai. It is hoped that the troop will increase in numbers, and that the scouts will do all they can be repay in some measure, by loyal service to the School and the Empire, the care and attention lavished on them.
Our energies have not been confined to studies and sport alone.
In the cause of charity the school has done splendidly. From class collections and self-denial the scholars contributed $800 to the Swatow Relief Fund. Our Scouts assisted the “Charitable Associations” in street collections and were instrumental in raising $11,000 for the same purpose. Again, when we were unfortunate to lose our “head boy” the School came forward, defrayed the whole of the funeral expenses and handed a substantial sum to the bereaved and aged mother.
The names of thirteen old scholars figure in the recent University examination lists:- Matriculation, 3; Senior local, 1; Junior local, 9. One, Lo Tung Fan, who won the Alan Morris Memorial Scholarship to Queen’s College where he obtained further honours, has distinguished himself by gaining the President of China Scholarship. We trust that his University career will be equally brilliant. To another “old boy” Mr. Leung Ki Ho we owe a debt of gratitude. During the year Mr. Leung presented the School with a mimeograph which we find very useful. This, however, is but one of Mr. Leung’s benefactions to his old School. In future years we hope that a larger number of “old boys” will come forward and assist the School.
The Report contained the thanks of the school to a number of Chinese gentlemen who were donors of special prizes.
The Hon. Mr. Irving, thanking the school for asking Mrs. Irving to present the prizes, announced that this was probably the last time that she would attend a prize-giving at the school, for she was shortly going Home. He wished to express on her behalf her sincere good wishes for the success of the school. They both hoped it would continue to prosper in the very remarkable way it had done during the past twenty years. He could remember the time when there were only forty boys, and it was thought a great feat that one European master should be engaged to look after schools at Saiyingpun, Wanchai, and Yaumati. Now they had a very strong staff, and they acted largely as a training school for the University. The University had been helpful to them by sending down students to take classes, and in this the students had benefited themselves, as they were learning their future business of teaching. The conduct of the school was a great responsibility, and Mr. Morris had shouldered the burden with enthusiasm. He had been a pillar of strength to the school during the 20 years he had been in the Colony. He brought it up from humble beginnings to its present flourishing state. The plans were already in existence for the erection of the new buildings, and in addition to numerous class rooms, they were to have a swimming bath. He believed himself to be right in saying that their’s would be the first school in the Colony to have its own swimming bath.
In conclusion, Mr. Irving said he hoped that the Saiyingpun School would continue to be more and more the training school for the University. He would like to see the school educate boys up to the matriculation standard.

學校嘉許日
西營盤書院
學校昨天舉行了周年嘉許日。
出席嘉賓有：伊榮先生(Mr. E.A.Irving)(提學司)、伊榮夫人(Mrs. Irving)、勞福斯先生(Mr. E.Ralphs)(英文學校督學)、提斯頓先生(Mr. Teesdale Mackintosh)(大學堂經歷司)、華德利牧師(Rev. G.T.Waldegrave)，以及學校校長(莫理士先生(Mr. A.Morris))。
校長宣讀報告如下：
1922年總收生339人(1921年是368人)，平均出席人數333人(1921年是319人)，共收學費11,061港元。學校全年繼續滿員，大量學童未能取錄。我們對新校舍的落成滿懷期待，介時將能容納更多學生。學生出勤良好，多月錄得百分之96出席率，亦有多個班級連續5星期全勤出席，另有72人(即五分之一學生)達成全勤出席。學生整體表現良好，地圖繪製、書法、英語會話及作文成績優異。第4班級全體學生順利通過入學試，成功就讀皇仁書院(Queen’s College)。學校繼續保持良好紀律與校風，並補充了大量儀器及設備。大學堂師範學生亦以本校作實習用途。雖然受場地所限，我們的體育項目亦有不錯表現，基本活動包括排球及足球。夏天時段，郊遊及游泳活動大受歡迎。
當威爾斯親王殿下訪問香港時，我們的童軍到了總督府迎駕。盧國忠(Lo Kwok Chung)小隊長因於堅尼地城泳棚拯救一名遇溺小童，獲親王殿下頒授英勇鍍金十字章。8月的時候，童軍旅前往青山進行了9天露營活動。一切活動開支皆由以下人士慷慨解囊：何東爵士(Sir Robert Ho Tung)、尊敬的周壽臣先生(Mr. Chow Shou-son)、羅長肇先生(Mr. Lo Cheung-shui)、蔡偉文先生(Mr. Choy Wai-man)、梁基豪先生(Mr. Leung Ki-ho)、尹文楷醫生(Dr. Wan Man-kai)。希望童軍旅能繼續成長，童軍們將竭盡所能，為學校以至帝國忠誠服務，以謝其照料及關注。
我們的活力除展現於學習與活動外，在慈善活動亦有所表現。
在班級及個人捐獻，我們的學生為汕頭支援基金(Swatow Relief Fund)籌得800港元；我們的童軍為慈善總會(Charitable Associations)就著相同項目協助街頭募捐，並籌得11,000港元。當我們的學生代表(head boy)與世長辭後，學校挺身而出支付全額殮葬費，並支付了一大筆金額以支援老年喪子的母親。
近日的大學堂考試名單中，有13位是本校舊生：預科3人；本地高級程度1人；本地初級程度9人。其中一位考生羅東範(Lo Tung Fan)，他曾獲得莫理士紀念獎學金(Alan Morris Memorial)升讀皇仁書院，其傑出的表現使其獲得大總統獎學金(President of China Scholarship)，相信他的大學生活會繼續成就輝煌。另外一名舊生梁基豪先生，我們欠他一份人情，他捐贈的油印機對本校校務幫助很大，而這只是梁先生捐助的一部份而已。我們亦希望一眾舊生於將來回來協助學校發展。
接著的報告是對一眾中國紳士捐獻特別獎勵的致謝。
尊敬的伊榮先生十分感謝學校邀請伊榮夫人頒獎，並表示這將會是她最後一次頒獎，因為她將於不日啟程返回家鄉。他代表夫人祝願學校茁壯成長，希望學校如同過去20年般，穩步發展。猶記得當年只有40名學生，並且很大膽地安排一名歐洲人同時兼任西營盤、灣仔及油麻地校長。現今已壯大至擁有一眾教職員，學校亦成為大學先修學校了。大學堂亦派出師範學生協助學校教學，這些學生亦從中學習，為將來的教育事業有所準備。學校辦學責任重大，莫理士先生一直以來熱情地肩負重任，在這20年來成為了學校的重要支柱，由弱小的學校培育成今天的強盛。新校舍的設計已經備妥，除了大量的教室外，還會建造一個游泳池，相信會是本地首間擁有游泳池的學校。
伊榮先生總結時，希望西營盤書院繼續加強大學先修學校的角色，並期待學童可達至預科水平。
