Introduction
Over the years, the Lasallian Spirit, our synonym for high-minded tenacity
and enthusiasm, has grown and matured with the scores of boys passing in and
out of our school doors. Intertwined with a confluence of young and lively souls, it
has made manifest a “Lasallian culture”. It accumulates with every breath every
Lasallian takes – the Brothers, the staff, the school workers, the students. 75
memorable years have passed, and our culture has become one of the richest and
most distinctive among schools.
The Lasallite is the Lasallian culture in print. Published by the EditorialBoard every year, it is many things in one. It is our yearbook, a complete record
of the major functions of its year. It is a memorial, depicting the most glorious
moments of our school. It is a representative, a souvenir given to our guests. And
it is an album, a documentation of memories. It connects the staff, the parents,
the Old Boys and the students. All these functions will be maintained in our year.
To us, the Lasallite is an opportunity: to surpass our predecessors, as is the
Lasallian spirit, and to brave new challenges. This year is La Salle Collage’s 75th
school anniversary. In accordance with the theme, “Diamond Jubilee”, our book
aims for grandeur. This objective will be met through the design of the entire
book and individual pages, which is our focus for this year.
Additionally, we will also incline towards a warmer and more cheerful tone.
Through the minimization of prosaic words and accounts, we shall strike to
personalize the Lasallian. Photos will be taken and chosen with this concept in
mind. This tone agrees more with the purpose of the Lasallian as we see it – a
readable book, not only for show.
We are aware that, as the school is celebrating its 75 th anniversary, the
Editorial Board will be bearing a heavier burden. Numerous celebrative events,
such as the 75th Anniversary Mass, must be recorded in their full glory. Sudden
and unpredictable changes may wreck our schedule. But we believe we will
endure. We are equipped with the knowledge, tools and experience passed on by
our seniors. We have an assiduous and devoted workforce. We have the support
of the teachers, office staff and students.
This year, we propose to publish a Lasallite worthy of the Lasallian culture.

Overview
This year is the seventy-fifth anniversary is our school. We,
the Editorial Board, who are responsible for recording the greatest
moments of this glorious year, firmly believe that ‘a picture is worth
a thousand words’. This year, we aim to revolutionize the layout of
The Lasallite, focusing more upon photographs and pictures instead
of words. All is done to make this yearbook worthy for treasuring.
As we are putting a lot of focus on graphic design and
photographs, our graphic designers will have a very heavy
workload. Hence, we set up more photographers and graphic
designers to share the workload. Furthermore, we will open
recruitment for junior working members in these fields, in an
attempt to invite talented students into this production.
Other posts will remain unchanged, but all committee
members are required to share the workload of the coordinator soas to improve coordiation with various school clubs and teams. This
is to inform the clubs what they are required to do at an earlier
stage, so we will receive reports of high quality by the end of this
school year. On top of that, we are going to cooperate with the CCB
to ensure club photos and reports submission.

Features
Warm design
The mood which we choose to adopt is fundamental to our
discretion in matters involving the choice of photos, words, and
design. The Editorial Board has decided on a warmer tone this year.
It is our belief that such a tone benefits the book and its readers as
unpleasant, vapid and rigid designs are improper for both a
students’ yearbook and an album of one’s teenage life.
Hard cover Version
This year, the Editorial Board proposes to publish a new hard
cover version of the Lasallite on top of the routine paperback
version. Featuring a cover made of high-quality meshed paper and
cloth on which delicate designs are carved, this new addition to the
Lasallite serves two main purposes. Most importantly, we believe it
carries a higher memorial value and is less prone to depreciation. It
also serves to alleviate our financial concerns of the year, as
coloured pages and photos carry with them a high cost. The natural
attraction of the hard cover version, together with a reasonably
higher price, will beatify our budget.
Focus on photos and minimization of words
Knowing well the impatience of students, especially boys, in
reading a few hundred pages of dreary text, we propose this year to
minimize the amount of words used and to focus, instead, on
photos. Words will be cut down to the point where
acknowledgement is bestowed upon all events which deserve it, and
no more. Flowery and unnecessary clichés will be eliminated.

Readers will be enticed to read through the book and its many
hundred pages with captivation and not annoyance.
Features
Improvement on the Chinese Section
Traditionally, the Chinese Section, which occupies around
1/10th of the book, has been given insufficient attention. We note
with regret certain designs in the past which have made it either
undesirable to read or downright unreadable (due to the
background colour). We aim to change this in our year. Colours will
be added to the antique black-and-white section. Articles will be
chosen with attraction in mind. The richness of the Chinese
language, when combined properly with an interesting and lively
design, is capable of attracting all readers of the Lasallian.
Changes concerning the 75th Anniversary
The “Focus” section of the Lasallite concerns the
contemporary changes of La Salle, such as a “Focus” on the New
Wing last year and one on Dr. Paul Lau some time before. This year,
as is proper, our “Focus” section will be on the 75th anniversary. We
will research a bit on Lasallian culture in the past which will surely
be interesting to our readers. A reminiscence of our heritage will be
rewarding, both to us, and to the horizons of our students.

Note: The estimated total number of ‘Advanced order’ is based on the actual
quantity sold in the academic year 2004-2005, 1475 copies.
The 5:4 ratio of advanced order – paperback to advanced order – hard cover
is based on the general economic sense that the demand for the lower-priced
item is greater.
The estimated other printing cost of $30,000 is based on the budget of the
academic year 2003-2004, 2004-2005 and 2005-2006.
The estimation made in the item ‘Selling of Photographs’ is based on the
actual sale in the academic year 2004-2005, $36,268.
The estimated printing cost of each paperback copy, $65, is based on the
actual figure in the academic year 2004-2005.
The estimated amount of sponsorship is based on the approximate amount
of sponsorship collected by the Editorial Board 2004-2005, $44,000, and by
the Editorial Board 2003-2004, $66,000.
