Mr. Lowcock once said to me, “We taught you everything you know. You have a mission to serve DBS.” Though the statement was directed to me, I think it may apply to all graduates of DBS, particularly to those who have gone through the entire schooling course of DBS, for I interpret it as “DBS has given you a good education. Go and serve the society as a DBS boy.”
Mr. Lowcock remembered me (and many others) well. Nearly twenty years afteer I finished sixth form at DBS, he invited me to officiate at an opening ceremony of the DBS swimming pool, in mid 1983 as far as I remember, just before his retirement. I guess the reason for the invitation was that I had been a member and captain of the DBS swimming team and had been working in the field of education in Hong Kong.
As person, Mr. Lowcock was quick-witted, calm, carefree, and understanding. As a headmaster, he was serious, strict, fair and caring. In short, he was a gentleman and a good headmaster.
May God bless his soul. May he rest in peace.
