PRIZE DAY AT ST. PAUL’S COLLEGE
SATISFACTORY YEAR OF PROGRESS: GOOD RESULTS IN STUDIES AND SPORTS
BISHOP OF VICTORIA DISTRIBUTES PRIZES

There was a very large gathering at St. Paul’s College last night when the Annual Prize Distribution took place at the school. The Hon. Dr. S.W.Tso presided over the gathering and congratulated the school on the satisfactory year’s work which they had just concluded. He then introduced the Bishop to the gathering and in so doing mentioned the interest which His Lordship took in the education of the Chinese.
The Headmaster, Rev. A.D.Stewart, read the school report in the course of which he mentioned the success at the recent University examination. He also stated that the college had been successful in inter-school volley ball and that the long jump record for Hong Kong schools was lowered by one of the students of the school during the year.
The Bishop of Victoria in a brief speech recalled the good work done by the school and by the Stewart family in South China.

THE HEADMASTER’S REPORT
The Headmaster’s Report for the year 1932 was as follows:-
My Lord Bishop, Dr. Tso, Ladies and Gentlemen,- Having been absent from the Colony for nine months of last year, I cannot be expected to give a first-hand report of the work of the past year. All I shall attempt to do is to pass on what others have told me with comments of my own.
It is now 83 years since the founding of this College and just 24 years since this school was opened.
The past year has, for the most part, been uneventful.
Towards the end of October the Inspector of English Schools gave three days to a thorough inspection of the school and was evidently favourably impressed on the whole, making special comment on the written work which he says, “was generally neatly done.”
We were also twice inspected by the Medical Authority for schools and received an excellent report on both occasions.

Attendance.
The enrolment of the past year was lower then that of recent years due largely, no doubt, to the fact that large numbers of schools have sprung up in the Colony of late. I understand that there are now 120 schools teaching English, two of which are at our very doors.
The highest number enrolled during the year was 350 and the average attendance was 313.
As many as 15 have completed the year’s attendance without a day’s absence.

Examinations and Sport.
In the Hong Kong Locals, four passed the Senior, Chung Hok Leung getting distinction in arithmetic and 16 passed the Junior, Cheung Kam Tin getting distinction in mathematics, Chiu Ping Cheung and Chiu See Kao both in arithmetic; Tsoi Mong Yok in arithmetic and mathematics and John Poon getting three distinctions in arithmetic, mathematics and mechanics.
School sports were carried on with the usual keenness. We might specially note that in the Inter-Schools Sports the record for the long jump was broken by Yung Ki Fong with a jump of 20 feet 2 1/2 inches.
In the Inter-Schools Volleyball League, St. Paul’s won the Junior and small Boy’s Championships. Inter-class competitions and group games in volleyball, basketball, football, pingpong and swimming were held during the year, in which a large number of students participated. Mr. Ho Ka Lau is indeed to be congratulated on the good work he has done as Sports Master, a position he has now held for a number of years.
There have been but few changes on the Staff during the past year. In the Spring, Mr. Chung Tak Kwong left us and Miss Fullerton joined the Staff. Of those with us, some have seem long service, Messrs. Wong Shiu Poon, Loh Hin Loi and Liu Iu Nung having served the school for more than twenty years. It is impossible to express what the school owes to the patient, persevering work of all members of the Staff who, year in and year out, give of their very best and are ready to give still more if need be.

The Scouts.
Our troop of Boy Scouts has developed well under the able encouragement of Rev. N.V.Halward. The number of patrols has been increased form two to three, the total number of Scouts now averaging eighteen.
They have been working hard and it is hoped that quite a few of them will shortly get their first-class badges. A number of efficiency badges have been won during the year, including ambulance, athletic’s swimming, cook’s and cyclist badges. We regret to record that one of the most promising scout, Fung Kai Keung, died during the summer holidays. Another greatly missed form the troop, Chan Sau Chong, has been ill since August. Wong Chi Shing gave valuable help to the Troop but owing to ill-health has not been able to do much during the latter months of the year. The Troop has definitely become a “Camping Troop,” and nearly all the Scouts have been to camp several times during the year. Six boys made their first class journey a fortnight ago and camped at Shatin on a cold night with only one blanket a piece, which surely speaks well for their spirit. The tone and spirit of the whole Troop are excellent and the present patrol leaders and seconds are proving themselves capable and efficient leaders.

The Night School.
A useful piece of work, carried on by the boarders in the Hostel, is the Free Night School for poor boys in the neighbourhood. This school was opened fourteen years ago and has been steadily carried on by succeeding generations of boarders. In order to carry this good work one step further, they are planning to raise an endowment fund the interest on which will enable them to offer a free scholarship to one of the night school students enabling him to have free board and lodging in the Hostel as well as free tuition.
As a Church school we note with thankfulness that ten of our senior students were baptized in March last, and we understand that there are others hoping to follow their example. We are looking to them, as well as to the many others who have passed out of the school, to keep ever before them the ideal which we set long ago before ourselves in an old school song to “send from these walls a noble band, Who will work for the good of their country.”
China needs men to-day who are men in the highest sense of the word, men of noble purpose, true in word and pure in deed.
We are glad to welcome our Bishop here with us to-night, not only as Bishop but also in his further capacity as Warden of this College. In him we know we have one who will encourage us in our ideals and inspire us to further efforts.
We also express our gratitude to Dr. Tso for so kindly presiding at our function to-night. Dr. Tso was of those who took a most active part in the starting of this school. He has been on our College Council for eighteen years and we welcome him as one of the best and most unfailing friends that this school has had.

聖保羅書院頒獎日
全年學習成績及體育令人滿意
維多利亞會督頒獎

昨晚於聖保羅書院因舉行周年頒獎禮而舉行了大型集會,尊敬的曹善允博士(Dr. S.W.Tso)主持集會,並對學校過去一年的完滿成功表示祝賀,然後為大家介紹了會督,並講述了會督對中國人教育工作的投入。
校長史超域牧師(Rev. A.D.Stewart)宣讀學校報告,其中提及到大學堂考試的良好成績,以及校際排球比賽成績,以及一位學生於去年打破了學界跳遠紀錄。
維多利亞會督則簡述了學校以及史超域家族一路以來在南中國的出色表現。

校長報告
1932年校長報告如下:
會督閣下,曹博士,女士們先生們。去年因事離開香港9個月,抱歉未能向各位提交去年工作的第一手報告,接著報告的只能是其他人士的匯報再加入我的評論了。
本校創校已屆83年,而校舍亦啟用了24年了。
而過去的一年大部份的時候,都是平穩度過。
在10月尾時,英文學校督學進行了3天視學,並對學校的表現十分滿意,而隨後的報告亦註明「整體表現有序」。
學校亦接受了衞生部門兩次巡查,並獲得出色評價。

出席率
學校去年招生人數比往年有所下跌,相信與本地多所學校創辦有關。我知道現時有120所學校教授英語,其中有2間是我們的學校。
去年的最高招生數為350人,而平均出席人數為313人。
15名學生去年達成全勤出席。

考試及體育
在香港本地考試,4人通過高級程度考試,鍾學良(Chung Hok Leung)取得算術優異,16人通過初級程度考試,張錦田(Cheung Kam Tin)取得數學優異,趙炳昌(Chiu Ping Cheung)及趙思高(Chiu See Kao)算術優異,蔡孟玉(Tsoi Mong Yok)算術及數學優異,潘約翰(John Poon)算術、數學及力學優異。
學校運動如常進行,而校際運動會的跳遠紀錄則被容崎峰(Yung Ki Fong)打破,成績為20英呎2.5英吋。
至於校際排球比賽,聖保羅贏得初級及小童賽冠軍。去年舉行了班際及團隊排球、籃球、足球、乒乓球及游泳,有大批學生參與活動。何嘉樓先生(Mr. Ho Ka Lau)擔任我們的體育老師一直表現出色,他已擔任此職多年。
在教職員方面,去年有點人事變動。春季時,鍾得光老師(Mr. Chung Tak Kwong)離職,富麗敦老師(Miss Fullerton)入職以作替代。我們之中,有多位老師已任教多年,黃韶本老師(Mr. Wong Shiu Poon)、羅興來老師(Mr. Loh Hin Loi)及劉耀能老師(Mr. Liu Iu Nung)已於本校任教超過20年了,學校對所有教職員的耐性和堅持不懈工作的感激之情,是無以言喻的,他們年復一年地竭盡所能,並隨時在有需要時付出更多。

童軍
本校童子軍旅在侯利華牧師(Rev. N.V.Halward)的領導下發展良好,小隊已由兩隊拓展至三隊,成員人數亦提升至平均18人。
他們現正加緊操練,部份人士可望於短期內考獲高級章(First Class Badge)。去年多人考獲多枚徽章,包括救護、體育、游泳、烹飪及單車章。令人傷心的是我們一位出色的童軍馮繼強(Fung Kai Keung)於暑假期間逝世,另一位出色童軍陳秀莊(Chan Sau Chong)則於8月患病至今,隊伍得力助手黃志成(Wong Chi Shing)亦因健康欠佳而於年底開始缺席活動。隊伍足以配稱為「露營旅」,差不多所有童軍於去年皆參與了幾次露營活動。6名小童於兩週前進行了高級章考驗旅程,於沙田露營期間每人只用一張毯子度過了一個寒冷的晚上,可謂精神可嘉。整個隊伍士氣及精神抖擻,小隊長及副小隊長皆能適當及有效地發揮其領導才能。

夜學
由宿舍學生營運正為鄰近地區貧窮兒童提供晚間義學,義學已運作14年,並且由一代又一代寄宿生持續營運。為了進一步推展工作,他們正計劃籌集基金,並以此為獎學金,以贊助其中一位晚間義學生的宿舍食宿費用,以及補助學費。
作為一所教會學校,感恩有10名高年級學生在去年三月受洗,我們亦發現有其他學生希望追隨他們的步伐。我們對他們充滿期待,並同樣期待各位從本校畢業人士可以銘記我們歷史悠久校歌的崇高理想:「由此誕生,高貴之群,一心一德,為國為民」(send from these walls a noble band, Who will work for the good of their country)。
今天的中國最需要的,是高尚的人民,擁有崇高目標、言行真誠、行為純潔的人。
很高興會督今晚與我們同聚一堂,他不但是我們的會督,更是本校的舍監。從他的身上,啟迪了我們去實現理想,並鼓勵著我們向前邁進。
我們亦十分感謝曹博士盛情地主持了今晚活動,曹博士是本校創辦以來投入最多的人,他已參與本校校董會達18年之久,本校亦十分珍重這位可靠及忠實的摯友。
