“...Song. Drill on the (1. S. Tamils' Court was thoroughly enjoyed, as always, and all are to be highly congratulated. Aitor the second form had tripped around the Maypole, others exercised with tinkling bells, camo club exercise which evidenced hours of training 'and practice. After the Whole School Marching, the girls sang the Doxplogy and thus ended the Bay’s programme. qzaM atilf bnijoi vlimicb byqqiti odv/ m-to'J bnoo9 — ■jydfopq nigod zbi.o .cyzlygmydi gi I’/lcoiTtixo /Ifr," (REPRINT FROM THE CHEFOO DAILY NEWS.)

“...long! “Junior Physical Drill'”...That’s new! look, pretty good...marvellous, I say..........but those Seniors...they are smart and their time! weld, words fail me! I wouldn’t like to have to do that,......should think it would hurt... say, that House Drill is good...look at their lines...wish we could get them as straight........Surely they haven’t finished marching yet!!! Weld, my only objection is, everything is too short! ...far too short, Anyway, Three Cheers for the Boys! (REPRINT FROM THE CHEFOO DAILY NEWS.) The Chairman, being an old boy himself was very understanding, and at the conclusion of the first item, a pianoforte solo, he gave the young student of music an encouraging word referring to the good progress made. The recitation which followed, Samson Agonistes, by John Milton, was well' recited and vividly portrayed to the imaginative, the ancient Biblical scene it depicts, the death of Samson as related to his father by eyewitnesses....”

“...20, Science, 20. Here goes! I had better start with Geometry. Miss— said all these riders were on Theorem 56, AC 2 + BC2 = 2 (AD. DA). I wonder when Euclid lived. I would love to go to Greece and see Athens and all those places....The sea certainly is wonderful to- night.. .Didn’t we have fun out rowing this after- noon, especially when our renowned stroke caught a crab...I wonder who’ll be in the crews next year .........I wonder if anyone has written a poem on Chefoo ! It would be a jolly good subject. Oh yes, there is “Chefoo” on the notice-board......in a few years’ time the schools will be quite different I sup- pose...in some ways....The new B.S. song is awfully good, but somehow I should like to hear “Forty Years On” again......My ! how time flies ! I must concentrate........(Evidently Latin is sharing the same fate as Geometry.. .more gazing into space ...Perhaps Science will fare better.) Anyway, one...”

“...local newspaper to the effect that the British Consul had left the port for England. To the average boy or girl at the Chefoo Schools the coming and going of a British official would consciously mean little, but, in losing Mr. Pratt, the Schools know they have lost a real friend. Mr. Pratt came to Chefoo, “rather incredulous” as to the reports hp had. heard up and down China of the “excellence of the Schools”, as he stated publicly when he paid a high tribute to the Schools on the occasion of the retirement of Mr. and Mrs. McCarthy in 1930, But in the same speech, he continued, “It was not in fact until I had had the good fortune to be. stationed in Chpfoo my- self that a very brief acquaintance with .the School knocked the bottom out of my prejudices and made of me another enthusiastic admirer of every aspect of the Chefoo educa- tion, the Chefoo atmosphere and the Chefoo tradition.” Having once associated himself with the life of the Schools, Mr. Pratt has remained a staunch friend.

“...166 THE COMPOUND IN CHEFOO. ALD places and old houses have always fascinated me, and lately on my way from the North, I stayed off at a little port where I had spent my schooldays. I had heard that changes had been made in the school grounds, and I longed to see the old place once again. Many memories thronged into my mind as I walked up the drive-here I had scampered down in days which seemed not so very far away, to enjoy the glories of boating. The very trees were still there, and they seemed. to stretch out their branches in welcome. Our old Prayer Room had stood to the left of the drive, and 1 looked eagerly for the well-remembered features. But my heart sank as I looked and saw only a pile of ruins. I thought of the many times I had entered the porch, and found rest and comfort and peace. Methought that had I seen the brick-and-mortar knaves at their work, every blow they struck would have been echoed in my heart. Wistfully I went on, led by some impulse over which I had no control...”

“...for the holidays went down to the jetty on August 1st. to bid goodbye and bon voyage to Mr. and Mrs. Chalkley and the trio, who are expecting to leave Shanghai for furlough in England. During the term we had the pleasure of a brief visit from H.R. Luce, an Old Boy who left the B.S. in 1912. He is now of the editors of the New York Times. A longer visit was paid by Dr. E. Warren Knight who came down from Shansi, where he is a medical mis- sionary in rhe C.I.M. to spend part of his honeymoon at Chefoo. He was with us over Foundation Day and the following Sunday, when he spoke in the Memorial Hall and, after a visit to Weihaiwei, he returned to renew old memories by attending the Exhibitions of the three schools. We were proud to have him as chairman on the B.S. Ex- hibition Day. We have been expecting another visit from Mr. Andrew for some time and at last have been rewarded. Mr. and Mrs. G. F. Andrew arrived just too late for the Exhibitions. We were very glad to'see them again and to hear...”

“...of the eighteen flood-stricken areas and has met with several thrilling experiences in Communist territory. Mr. Andrew has been the personal representative of Sir John Hope Simpson in the province of Hupeh. It is to him that the rescue of Captain Baker and Father Sands is chiefly due. Our best wishes follow him as he returns to continue his arduous task and to attempt to free thirteen of his engineers from the hands of Communists. Mrs. Andrew, who has just returned from Canada, will remain in Chefoo for a short time. The result of the House Competition was as follows: Ant. & Sp. Terms S.T. Work S.T. Cond.

“...shadows, and the worst are no worse, if imagination mend them”. Whatever “mending” was needed, the Chairman. Mr. W.R.O. Taylor, supplied with his comments and reminiscences and a song of his own devising which recurred to fill any gaps. That this song may enjoy the immortality it deserves, we here, record it. The Settlement Hill, it is standing there still, And Bottle Rock too, and the Bluff: The sunsets so sweet, the American Fleet, These things you all know well enough. Chorus. Oh, come to Chefoo where the sea is so blue, And the children so happy and sound : There’s no doubt in my mind, that you never can find A place like it the whole wide world round.
