In Memory of Mr Lowcock – YIP Chee-kuen (76)

I learnt with great sadness the passing away of Mr Lowcock, our beloved headmaster.  Although I joined DBS from Form 1, he told me that he recognised me only when I was in Form 6.  Being a shy boy coming from a Chinese primary school, I was neither too good nor too bad to give him any impression during my junior years.  I began to realise, only when I got to the senior form with discussion from students from the other schools, that DBS was so special.  He appointed the prefects with so much authority and support, and allowed the clubs with so much autonomy and freedom, that I learnt to grow to work independently and learnt from my seniors in taking up responsibility.  I treasure my learning both outside and inside classrooms, that paved the way for my career.  I still remember the time he stood at the back of the school hall listening quietly to the practice of the orchestra.  I still remember the time having fun in his home and his jokes.  I know that I am a totally different person after 7 years in DBS.  I will always remember and thank Mr Lowcock.
