The room underneath was occupied by Lawrence who lived there while he was going to medical school. Lawrence is an orphan brought up by Father Danis. This picture was taken on July 24, 1959.

Unpaved Wan Hua basketball court. Once upon a time, annual Chiang Kai-Shek Cup basketball tournament was held here. For many years, our Association's predecessor "WANYOU" had been the tournament's champion team. Our fellow alumni Min Sein and Yang Ming Kong were the star players. The tournament was later moved to St. Anthony Boys' School.

The building overlooking Mission Road and railroad tracks. The ground floor was divided into 3 rooms with rattan walls. They served as classrooms during the day and served as study rooms for boarding students in the evening. It was pretty hard to study in these rooms in the evening because of the blood-sucking mosquitoes trying to bite our hands and legs. Those who talked to each other would be hit in the butt with a cane by monitors. At the strike of 8 o'clock, boarding students left these rooms to go to bed on the 3rd floor in the adjacent building.

Surgeon/Founder Toussaints Su ( (蘇宜輝院長/創辦人) of Fangliao General Hospital, Pingtung, Taiwan. Like all his siblings, the young Toussaints (also known as James) attended Catholic Anglo Chinese School. In 1970, he moved to Taiwan with his parents and siblings and enrolled in a high school there. Then he attended a medical school and trained to become a surgeon. Upon graduation, he joined a clinic, worked his way up, and eventually took it over from its owner. It did not stop him right there. As his patient base and his reputation grew, he gradually expanded and transformed the clinic into an accredited hospital. Dr. Su has made his mark in Southern Taiwan, providing medical and surgical care to many satisfied patients in his hospital, housed in a modern, state-of-the-art building. He has also acquired a piece of land to build a nursing home. Due to his award-winning smile, Dr. Su won a local girl Ray's heart and they tied the knot and live happily together.
