SPHS (St. Paul’s High School) used to display a “Roll of Honor”. It mainly lists those who finish in the top three positions in the Matriculation examination. It sometimes lists a “block” (1st to 4th in 1959, 1st to 5th in 1963). After nationalization, the Roll of Honor went missing. It was recovered by U Soe Tin (Taw Win Hnin Si / Royal Rose Restaurant).

Bernard Khaw scored 80+ in English. Sadly, he could not apply for professional courses in Burma. It was a brain drain.
