| Aroma from the Pine Lodge | |
Professor and Mrs. Samuel Sun dwell in the Pine Lodge. The proximity to student hostels helps students to communicate with them. Facing Tolo Harbour, it is situated among the pine trees and is thus named 'Pine Lodge'. An afternoon tea gathering is held every Friday afternoon, and around 15 S.H. Ho students are treated at the Pine Lodge each time. The Pine Lodge has received more than 400 students so far, which is 70% of students at the College. Mrs. Sun will prepare cookies, cakes and snacks, while Master Sun will also make punch and refreshments. They talk about the University, the College, academic and all aspects in life. Over time, the afternoon tea at the Pine Lodge has become students' fond memories. A feature story on Mrs. Sun is covered in this issue, exploring her solicitous care to students revealed in the healthy culinary delights.

| Growing From Strength to Strength | |
S.H. Ho College sports teams, including Athletic Team, Badminton Teams, Tennis Teams, Table Tennis Teams, Rowing Teams and Soccer Team, swaggered around the CUHK Inter-college Sports Tournaments held in the first quarter of 2014. The Men's Tennis Team, Women's Table Tennis Team and Women's Badminton Team achieved third runner-ups in the tournaments, and Women's Tennis Team clinched the first runner-up. Their achievements are highly attributed to the training and coordination initiated by the team coaches and captains. The results not only represent the hardship they have been undergoing during the intensive training, it implies teamwork, sportsmanship and perseverance that the athletes have embodied since the establishment of the College.
