Comments

Dick Worrall identifies the lady in the light-coloured suit as Miss Edna Atkins, rather than Miss E.M. Middleton-Smith:

The photograph of the staff at St Stephen’s Girls School is the same one that features on page 180 of that wonderful book entitled ‘Old Hong Kong’  by Trea Wiltshire. The lady in the light coloured suit in the front row is actually Miss Edna Atkins who took over from Miss Middleton-Smith as Headmistress. The picture on the opposite page (181) shows the two of them together in the staff sitting room with Edna seated on the left.
