Volleyball C Division: West Zone 2^nd Position
9 February 2006

C Division Volleyball West Zone Final
Our girls were clearly the underdogs but they were fairly composed through the majority of the match and gave the opponents (Shuqun Sec) a really good fight. All this in spite of almost all the regular players being Sec 1s. The 1-2 score and performance were slightly better than our previous meeting with Shuqun in the preliminary round.

The first set went our way 26-24 with our girls showing the same fighting spirit as before and despite being behind for most of the set.

The second set saw our opponents storm through the set, with our girls pressured into making many errors, thus losing 10-25.

The final set was nearly a classic comeback, minus the win. We had a bad start and made many unforced errors. At one point, we were 5-17 down. But the girls fought for every point and miraculously managed to tie the game at 24-24. Only the opponents' greater experience and higher level of skill enabled them to grab the last 2 crucial points, with our girls bowing out at 24-26.

李光前乐善好施精神代代相传 孙儿女捐百万元给南洋女中
2月4日 联合早报 - 新加坡新闻

南洋女子中学新春喜获大红包100万元。

我国已故慈善家李光前慷慨乐捐、慈善为怀的崇高品德，代代相传。他的孙儿女，也是长子李成义的四个儿女，昨天以感谢父母亲养育之恩的名义，捐出100万元给南洋女中，设立“李成义及李唐宝珅基金”。这笔款项，除了协助南中经济窘困的学生出国浸濡，还将充实南中玉芝图书馆，使它成为我国华文图书最丰富的中学图书馆。

南洋女中校董会主席黄美云昨天在澳洲回国前，接受本报长途电话访问，感激李氏家族对南中的厚爱。

她说：“我非常敬重李氏家族热心公益却又默默耕耘、谦逊低调的精神。李氏家族对南洋女中传扬华族文化、灌输华族价值观的办学宗旨一向非常支持。李成义四名儿女，今天以回报父母教养提携的名义，捐出巨款给南中，让学校精益求精，我谨代表南中校董会、校友会和全体师生向他们表示衷心感谢。”

促成这宗美事的是南中校董兼校友王秀芳。她对记者说：“我们一向关注母校发展，那天当我向李成义的儿女提及南中发展，需要捐助时，他们义不容辞很快作出以父亲李成义和已故母亲李唐宝珅的名义，捐赠100万元给南中作发展费用的决定。”

本报尝试联络这四名李氏子女，但他们都表示不愿受访，甚至连名字都不愿见报。

王秀芳说，李成义夫人唐宝珅于1978年10月去世，至今虽然已近30年，可是不减儿女对她思念之情。

据知，唐宝珅系出名门，父亲唐绍仪是中国第三批留学美国的幼童，在美国哥伦比亚大学毕业。回国曾担任袁世凯临时大总统期间的第一任内阁总理，后与袁世凯的独裁专权发生尖锐矛盾，愤而辞职。唐绍仪是广东中山人，从内阁总理职位退下，曾欣然到中山县担任县长。中国共产党前领导人毛泽东曾在文章中提到，要能上能下，上能做内阁总理，下能当中山县长，指的就是唐宝珅的父亲唐绍仪。

南中校长麦丽英说，这笔基金，50万元会用在津贴学生出国浸濡，50万元会用在充实玉芝图书馆。

她说：“到海外浸濡，有助拓展学生视野。看到外国学生的自律勤奋，聪明睿智，她们学会谦虚。看到自己的双语和学习环境相对来说比较优越，她们有了自信。因此，我们正为全体学生在校四年期间，都有机会出国浸濡学习做开拓的工作。我们希望60%的学生能去中国，其他则去印度、马来西亚、泰国、越南、日本、澳洲、纽西兰、英国和美国。”

然而出国浸濡，费用高昂，不是普通家境的学生所能支付。三名中四生江欣颍、陈迪芬和李雨蓁，去年就在校方提供2500元的经济支援下，分别去了印度和纽西兰浸濡学习。

江欣颍和李雨蓁去印度13天当义工，费用每人需要2000元。陈迪芬到纽西兰14天，学习航海技术和如何自创品牌，费用需要3700元。三人表示，初期家人都表示无法支付这笔出国浸濡费用，后来幸好得到学校经济援助，去了回来，都觉得大开眼界，受益不浅。

麦丽英校长说，有了50万元捐款的支援，将可让更多学生出国浸濡时无后顾之忧。

捐款的另外一半会用在充实玉芝图书馆的硬件和软件上。

软件方面，华文科主任林婉贞说：“我们希望能尽量收集中港台和星马的华文书籍，以及现在逐渐流行的‘有声书’，还有著名的华语电影、连续剧等，成为华文影音文字资料最丰富的中学图书馆。”

硬件方面，麦校长说：“我们还要加强设备，让玉芝图书馆设备完善、应有尽有，这是我们的目标。”
