The Jesuit in the far right was Fr Carrol SJ, Principal. Bishop Bianchi PIME. Paul Tsui as an Old Boy at the rear. Mr & Mrs Yeung Nai-yiu, President of the Alumni Association. The Directpr of Education and Mrs Crozier presumably at the left. The Government had given two large pieces of land to the Jesuits for the two Wah Yan - HK and Kowloon respectively. WYHK took Mt Parish which was formerly part of the Naval Hospital. The Governor had laid the foundation stone when it was being built.
