The total number of web pages accessed per month is approaching the 300,000 mark. As shown from the chart, we are still seeing a trend of growing number of accesses to our websites. Many factors may have contributed to this result, one of which is the opening up of web sections for each graduation-class year (Your Class). This, directly and indirectly, invites a lot more traffic to our sites.
Our Picture site continues to be the most popular choice, followed by the Blog and the Main Site (see the graph here). If you would like to contribute to the content of any section in our websites, please click here and let us know. You can also send us your comments and suggestions here.
A dinner was held in honour of John Loo (sitting left) who is touring North America and specifically attending the anniversary of the Seattle Chinese Information and Service Center which he founded 40 years ago as a student. More pictures of John Loo in Toronto can be founder here.
Not many of us have the chance of hearing Dr. John Tan speaking. Please click here to hear Dr. Tan givng a report on WYK in March 2012.
"I am mindful that come next year it will be the 60th Anniversary of our graduation in 1953.
I am sure our classmates feel for one another still.
I am not sure if we are too old to organize a reunion to celebrate our togetherness.
May be your response to this short note will tell.
Please respond, wherever you are and see you at Wah Yan in 2013."
