No one on the street knows why there
are Heep Yunn girls on the streets at 2pm on the 23rd of October. 231003
may seem to be a very ordinary day. However, to all Heep Yunn girls,
it was just unique. It was a big day for Heep Yunn as it was its 67th
birthday, the Foundation Day.
One of our old girls, Ms Lau, came
back to celebrate Heep Yunn’s birthday with us as a guest speaker.
Ms Lau was one of the Form Seven graduates in 19??. She said that we
should treasure the school campus, as she just couldn’t enjoy
such good facilities that we were now having. Even though Ms Lau left
Heep Yunn for a long time, Heep Yunn girls in their cheong sams still
reminded her of the beautiful memories of school life.
After the Thanksgiving Service, it’s
time for fun. Like previous years, the Student Association organized
all sorts of games and performances.
The party started with video clips of the Inter-school Swimming Competition,
which filled the air with excitement as Ms Dora Yum in the video was
announcing the victory of HYS in the A grade swimming competitions.
After a few games with sports team captains and club chairpersons as
players, the five house captains then performed a short drama on stage,
which brought us a lot of joy. Cat Hui of Hok House who acted the Queen
Mother and Irina Chan who act as an evil-minded woman of Chung House
were given the best commendation. The Queen Mother was showered with
compliment as all girls have had a laugh when she came out “elegantly”.
The best and well-known male singer
in our school, Mr W. K. Lam, then played the guitar and sang two songs
that led the celebration program to its climax. The celebration ended
with another thriller, with Mr. Calvin Wong and new teacher Mr. Tong
acting scenes from the movie “Infernal Affairs”. They looked
so cool that it is no wonder if you find that both of them gained many
more fans after this performance!
No matter how crazy the celebration
goes, we should always bear in mind that the Foundation Day is a day
to thank God for granting us this lovely school.
