The venerable Mr. A. C. Morales, under whose supervision most of us grew up while at the College, passed away (official press release) at Ruttonjee Hospital on September 1, 2011, at about 5:50pm. Former disciplinarian Mr. C. C. Mak was among those who went to say goodbye, and reported that the late principal had left this world peacefully.

September 5 update:

Visitation for Mr. Morales will be held at Hong Kong Funeral Home (1/F) in the evening of September 15, with mass starting at 8:00pm. The funeral service will proceed the next day, followed by cremation at Cape Collinson Crematorium at 2:00pm. We are going to be sending flowers on behalf of the alumni in Ontario.

Coinciding with the 50th anniversary of our mother school, the North American alumni will be hosting an event honouring one of the founding teachers, Dr. Evelyn Eaton. The ceremony and celebration will take place on September 27 and 28, 2008, in San Francisco, California. More information will be posted as it becomes available. Stay tuned!

We are pleased to announce that our donations last year have been delivered to the alumni organization in Hong Kong. Due to the strong Canadian dollar, the amount converted to Hong Kong dollars is more than we originally anticipated. Thanks to Anthony Poon, class of ’61, for following up in Hong Kong and delivering the cheque. We have received an official receipt from the Raimondi Alumni Association in Hong Kong.
