SFX Class of 63
50th Anniversary Newsletter 2, 22 March 2013
Tracking down the classmates
When we first started, the list of classmates
that we had has less than twenty entries which was the number we had for the 40th
Anniversary. We thought we would never be able to exceed it. We grossly under
estimated the detective ability of Jason Siu who solicited the support of Victor
Fu, William Wong, Andrew Cheng, Lawrence Heung and Tsien Nai Kun, the list is
now 40 strong.
Take the case of Tarcisius Lui. One day in February, William
Wong ran into him in a gathering at CC Club. William found out that he is
spending half his time in Canada and half in Hong Kong and got hold of his
mobile phone number so that we can reach him. When he learned about the plan
for our 50th Anniversary, he said he very much like to join the
event and to meet up the other old boys.

Fund raising for the School
The bank account has been opened for less than a month
and we have started to bank in the cheques that we have received. As some of
the contribution came in foreign currencies so we do not have the exact figures
until we get the monthly statement but we think the figure is very encouraging,
close to HK$140,000. In terms of privacy, we respect the wishes of the donors
in the disclosure of the amount of contribution, so we have named and anonymous
donations.
Bertram
Hui $78,000
John Liu Wai Tze $10,000
Anonymous $50,000
If you have
difficulties in remitting because of the length of the joint names, you can
just enter one of our names and the account number and that will do. Or you may
simply send your personal crossed cheque to Dicky Yip’s address in HK
i.e. "Flat 20A, Tower 2, No 33, Conduit Road, Hong Kong".
Your classmates: 50 years on
We are arranging to interview Leung Hok Nin and Dicky
Yip in the next few weeks by video. They have agreed to tell us what happened
to them in the last fifty years. We have asked them to collect about a couple
of dozen pictures and documents about themselves, their off springs, their
relocations, work, adventures and other things that they can share with us. If
it works, we will arrange to interview a few more and ask the others to send us
similar photos and documents. In the meantime, we have a test picture shoot and
here is the result.
Dicky Yip
Jason Siu
We hope to send you such profiles in installments.
Finding out more about the
School
We are looking into the history of the School and how
it came to be established and how we fit into the picture. Will try to seek out
a few artifacts and perhaps interview Br Joseph and Bosco with a few
intelligent questions. And if you have
questions you would like us to enquire, please send them to us as soon as
possible.
