7th Floor: Legion of Mary Room
One day, I was walking along the corridor along the 7th floor. I was wondering around and did not have anything to do during recess. When I was wondering aimlessly, I saw a room with the words “Chapel, Legion of Mary” on it. Curiosity got the better of me and I tried to open the door…

(The Legion Of Mary Room on the 7th floor.)
Upon entering the location, I was greeted by a sight resembling a miniature version of the school chapel. (Since sign on the door says “Chapel”, you'll find that it is pretty much a smaller version of the school chapel, like how I did). It leads me to believe that it is probably the previous location of the current Chapel which currently resides beside the school hall. It is equipped with rows of chairs. There is also an old dusty organ which hasn’t seem to be touched for decades.
There is also a table at the back of the room with a statue of Mother Mary. It appears to be a meeting table. The organ is placed a corner at the picture below.

Pictures of documents below suggests that they hold weekly meetings.
It seems to be that an active group visits this location on a regular basis judging by the lack of dust on the documents on the table. A group photo is attached on the whiteboard with the words "Morning Star of the Sea" written above. I’m certain that is the group name.
With the presence of Chinese text seen in the above picture, I believe this group contains Chinese-speaking members.
I also found more documents and regalia related to the group in question.
[Left] A sign written in traditional Chinese, 圣母军. Loosely translated, it means the Army of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
[Right] A document with written rules for the members of the “Morning Star of the Sea". It seems that they uphold a strict routine with respect to their faith and have weekly meetings.
With this, I end the exploration for the day.
The information in this post is accurate as of November 2014.
