I graduated in 1967 from the 13th class. I scored a grade of 1 in math, 2 in Chinese, and 3 in English on the secondary school placement examination. I ranked 13th in my 6A class.
Transitioning through La Salle College secondary school was initially challenging but not unsurmountable. I graduated with high honors in biochemistry from U.C. Davis, then MD from UCSF, medical residency at USC, and fellowship training at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. I held an appointment from Stanford Medical School as Clinical Assistant Professor for attending the oncology clinic at the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center in the early 1990's. It all started at this primary school. I am forever grateful. The math curriculum was superb, and allowed me to advance smoothly into Form 1. English was the weak link, understandable as HTPS was a Chinese primary school, but I leaned enough to comprehend lessons conducted in English at La Salle. It was Mr. Kwong Siu Leung, my 5th grade Chinese teacher, who introduced me into the wonderful world of Chinese poetry-my favorite avocation. If I have to go through it again, and I wish I could, I would not go anywhere else but here----Raymond W. Lee, MD. (San Jose, California, USA)
Former 444 Signals Unit Royal Air Force,

Sources indicate that 444 Signals Unit (SU) formed officially within No 90 (Signals) Group, RAF Strike Command with effect from 16 August 1971, and was established as a lodger unit at Stanley Fort, Hong Kong. The primary role of 444 SU was to act as a ground station for the Skynet satellite communications system, responsibility for operating the Skynet system having been vested in the RAF in the late 1960s, under the Rationalisation of Inter Services Telecommunications (RISTACOM) agreement. It would appear that the equipment operated by 444 SU had been located previously at RAF Bahrain (HMS Jufair).
On 1 May 1972, No 90 (Signals) Group was transferred from RAF Strike Command to RAF Maintenance Command and as a consequence 444 SU became a Maintenance Command unit on this date. On 31 August 1973, both 90 (Signals) Group and Maintenance Command were disbanded, to be replaced on the following day by the new RAF Support Command. All of the units and locations previously controlled by the disbanded formations were transferred to Support Command with effect from 1 September 1973 and 444 SU therefore became a Support Command unit. This was to prove short-lived, however, for on 1 November 1973, 444 SU and the unit responsible for maintaining the Skynet ground station at RAF Gan – 6 SU – were both transferred to the command of the Air Officer Commanding in Chief Near East Air Force (NEAF). At this time 444 SU and 6 SU formed part of the Defence Communications Network (DCN) and the DCN elements of both units came under the functional control of the Controller DCN, Ministry of Defence.
On 1 August 1975, administrative and engineering responsibility for all of the units comprising RAF Hong Kong, including 444 SU, were transferred from NEAF to RAF Strike Command – functional control of these units being retained by the Vice Chief of the Air Staff via Commander RAF Hong Kong. Subsequently, with the disbandment of HQ NEAF on 31 March 1976, control of RAF Hong Kong and its component units were transferred in total to Strike Command. On 28 March 1976, RAF Gan closed and 6 SU disbanded formally on the same date, the latter's satellite communications equipment being transferred to 444 SU.
Official sources indicate that 444 SU disbanded at some point 'during the last quarter of 1977'

In any other Disney theme park this would by a Haunted Mansuion ride, but the supernatural senstivities of the locals has resulted in this interesting ride with a lot of the same elements as the similar spooky "dark" rides at Disney parks.

I attended Kennedy Road Junior School from Class 2 to Class 4. I remember well Miss Barnes who was substitute headmistress during Miss Holmes' absence...around 1968/69...I remember our sports days in November at Jackson Park and our school trip on the British submarine The Onslaught. When I went to visit the school in 1988 the school was still located on Kennedy Road. Miss Holmes looked exactly as she did 20 years previously.
