We cannot, however, put forward anything original here; but before proceeding with our catalogue, we must reluctantly bid farewell to Edgar, who takes the good wishes of the whole School as he leaves us for Australia. To comment on the brevity of the Summer Holidays would be merely to reiterate our predecessors’ words. Though a forlorn feeling seemed to pervade the School at the departure of Mr. and Mrs. McCarthy, their successors settled in to the B.S. before...”

“...229 No September term is complete without an Oxford holiday. The results arrived on Wednesday October 22nd, and the following day there was no school. During the course of the term a fire broke out at the B.D. which gave the B.S. Fire Brigade an op- portunity of displaying their readiness for action. The fire was extinguished before they arrived and they returned to meet the first member of the Chefoo Fire Brigade. 'Elie term closed with a Mock Election, which aroused the B.S, and G.S. into a frenzy of partisanship. Tlie details will appear later in the magazine, and we give here but the barest result, a victory for the Unionists. The Girls’ School basket-ball matches, which were played after the Election, resulted in a decisive victory for Form Va, who carried off the cup. The Editors take this opportunity of mentioning that the words and music of the new School Song are included in this issue. The words were written by Mr. Martin and the music composed by Mr. S. Houghton, and we must...”

“...delivered his in- augural speech. During the meeting matters concerning the subscription were decided, and Mr. Edgar, who was staying an extra term, was elected a member of the Com- mittee, without official position. Sept. 10th Open Debate. Motion: “That the scavenger is as useful to a community as a statesman". This was a well contested motion and a splendid start. The motion was rejected by 1 vote—11 to 10. Sept. 17th Open Debate. Motion: “That Chinese should be substituted for Latin in these schools." The motion was lost by 14 votes to 8. Sept. 24th Open Debate. Motion: “That the Che- foo Daily News deserves increased support and respect." The motion was carried by 6 votes—14 to 8. An encouraging result for the Editorial Staff of the “Rag"....”

“...235 LECTURES HE first entertainment of the term was an exquisite gramophone rendering of Mendelssohn’s Oratorio, "Elijah”, on Sept. 22nd. The records were very kindly lent by Mr. Eaers and the gramophone, which was ortho- phonic and supplied with a loud speaker, was lent by the Chefoo Club. The words were beautifully clear and the whole was a real treat. On the following Monday Mr. Andrew, who was staying at Chefoo for a few days, gave us a very interest- ing account of his most recent travels. He specially in- troduced many details which showed distinct answers to the prayers of many of his hearers. He told how his party had narrowly escaped bandits between Sian and Pingliang in Shensi, how they were surrounded by over two thousand in Kuyuan and how, had it not been for engine-trouble at a very inconvenient time they would have run into a village that was practically destroyed a few hours later. Mr. Andrew also mentioned with thankfulness that not a single cash in the $520,000 which he...”

“...the activities of the German fleet, especially mentioning the activities of the Emden, and the submarine warfare. The story was also told of Sir Boger Casement. The whole lecture was brought to a fitting and dramatic close by the display of a map of Central Europe. Each country was represented by a piece of coloured paper and the results of the Peace Treaty were graphically illustrated by detach- ing various parts of the map. The end-of-term concert was on the last Monday of the term and the Schools took a prominent part in the programme. Mrs. Dilley and Mrs. Bailton played two duets to the delight of all, and Mrs. Strausser favoured us with some selections on the violin. The Junior boys started the programme with a lively song, entitled “The Golden Vanity’’, the Junior girls singing “Bobinbood” a little later in the programme. A few members of the Fourth Form recited a short Latin play and the Senior girls sang two songs with good expression. Mr. Lyall also sang for us, two sea-songs, admirably...”

“...237 CORRESPONDENCE. To The Editor, “The Chefusian,” Chefoo. 27th December 1930. Dear Sir, As one who is always interested in scanning “Who's Who’s’’ it has often occurred to me that it wouldn’t be a bad idea if a “Who’s Who’’ of old Chefoo Girls and Boys and Staff could be compiled. Might I suggest that an effort be made to celebrate the School’s Jubilee Year (1930) by starting a “Who’s Who’’ which possibly could be revised and republished say every five or ten years? Would it not be possible to organize Sub-committees in a dozen or so Countries and have them pass information, say, to London, where Mr. McCarthy might be persuaded to act as Editor-in-Chief for the Jubilee Edition? Mr. McCarthy is probably much too busy having a good time down amongst the Wallabies and Platypusses in Australia right now, but by the time he gets back to London he might like to take on the Editorship (over in London or wherever else he may settle). I, for one, would very much like to possess some such publication...”

“...238 CHEFOO BOROUGH BYE-ELECTION. Mr. W. D. Thomas (Unionist) ... Mr. W. P. Olesen (Labour) Mr. D. Lamdsborough (Independent) 50 votes 41 votes 33 votes Unionist Majority ... 9 J&OUR days of intensive campaign, unceasing activity, it packed committee-rooms, brain-scheming, witty de- vice, poster-painting, cartoon-drawing, stump oratory—in short, four days of party politics in miniature, closed with the announcement that Mr. W. D. Thomas had gained the seat by a satisfactory majority of votes. The campaign was conducted with unwavering en- thusiasm by the supporters of each party. The Independ- ents were the first in the field, with their red badges, but the Unionist supporters speedily outrivalled them by wear- ing elegant rosettes of dark blue. Any sign of luxury or extravagance on their part was immediately dubbecl as Capitalism by the Labour party, whose yellow posters soon attracted considerable attention. At first the Unionists held their own and attracted a number of supporters. Meanwhile...”

“...IV.- 8-3 for VB. VI. v. VA.- 50-8 for VA. ’VA. v. VB.- 11-8 for VA. In the case of the final game the scores on both sides were equal when time was called, and it was agreed to play for a further six minutes. It was in these last moments that the VA won. The Cup was presented by Mrs. Bannan, and colours were given to H. Best, F. King, C. Williamson, M. Bird, and E. Rist. AN UP-TO-DATE JEST. The following letter was recently received by a member of the B.S. Staff, we understand, from a firm in Chefoo. Dear Sir, We are sending you a empty tin as we know you are very like it. Yours faithfully, [We hope our readers will refrain from comment or enquiry.—Ed.]...”

“...beating Carey in an exciting game (64 to 42) and then Livingstone (71 to 33), secured the first place points toward the House Cap. Carey, previously perhaps the favourites, had to be content with second place, beating Livingstone (109 to 35) and losing to Paton. The season has been a thoroughly enjoyable one and has wit- nessed much good cricket: the advent of Mr. Bruce, who has already delighted us with several stylish innings, will be a great asset to the game not only in the school but also in Chefoo. The season opened on October 8th and during the early half much keenness has been shown throughout the school. The composi- tion of the XI was in no way easy to forecast, but Edgar (remaining on only until Christmas) and Moore i soon made their positions at centre half and left back certain: Moore is fast and safe and has improved in every department of the game. Landsborough made an effective partner and saved many a critical situation. In the forward line, Moore ii and Walker were an aggressive...”

“...for the blessing of GOD to rest on the future of our friends as on their past: and then speaking in Chinese at their request, expressed their gratitude to the Chinese servants for much loyal help. Mr. and Mrs. Houghton allowed them- selves to be photographed, and shortly afterwards left to settle into their new home. With them went our best wishes, not for “riches too burdensome”, but for “the blessing of the LORD” which “maketh rich, and He addeth no sorrow with it”.

“...for furlough in the mididle of the Summer Holidays for an extensive tour via Burma across India, through the Bed Sea and so home to Eng- land after a visit to Palestine. Mr. G. P. Welch received a very hearty welcome on his return to Chefoo at the beginning of August, to- gether with a new addition to the family. Comment on Mr. G. F. Andrew’s recent exploit to Paotowchen to effect the rescue of Mrs. Hayward and Miss Gomersal is needless. All the papers have been full of it. The remarks one hears about him generally run like this...“Just the man for the job it was just like him’’—and that is the highest praise. Mr. C. G. Edwards is now resident in Hungtung, Shansi. He is acting in the capacity of foreign adviser to the Chinese Principal of the Hoste Schools....”

“...— 250 — CHEFOO BOYS’ SCHOOL SONG We would sing of this School On the Chinese shore: Here skill may be won. And learning’s store: The will of our fathers’ God was sought: That will pursued good fortune brought. Strength we may gain From the sea where we row, From the open sky Where the North winds blow: Strength from our games and the waves where we swim: And the hills we climb give strength of limb. Light which the world From its ancient hoards Or later lore To our search affords, Here we may find that through unknown wavs We may walk unafraid in the future days. But whence shall we draw Needed strength for oui’ hearts, And clearer light Than this world imparts? These gifts are by grace on faith conferred By our mighty Father’s quickening Word. [Verse translation of Latin Song by S. G. Martin.]...”
