SCHOOL CHRONICLE
fj*" TIE first term of the new School year is ever and we
breathe a sigh of relief, as we enter the Winter Holidays
for which we have hoped so long. We can lock back on a
sound record of health and an all-round keenness in most
parts of the School-life.
When the cricket season closed as usual in the second
week in October, after some sensational house matches,
everyone settled down to “Footer” with enthusiasm. After
two games against the Settlement, the boys found they
could dispense with help from the Staff. This means...”

“...building.
In both schools central-heating has been installed for
the central blocks. This includes the School-Room and
side-class rooms on the ground-floor and the large bedrooms
on the first floor at the B.S. To conserve the warmth, the
South verandah, on the Quad., has been enclosed with glass-
windows and numerous doors. We understand that the
foundation-stone of the new buildings is to be laid in March.
This preamble would be woefully lacking, if it did
not contain a further reference to' the perambulators on the
Compound. Pocket editions of members of the Staff may
be seen travelling in these vehicles at many times of the
day. Lying, sitting or standing, these bonny babies attract
the attention of all and sundry. Our very hearty congratula-
tions to Mr. and Mrs. Welch on the birth on October. 15th of
Theodore Phillipps. We hear that the cult of Baby-Worship
in the G.S. and the P.S. is gaining many fresh adherents.
One more comment—the Public Debate, run by the
two schools, seems to have...”

“...LONE SCOUTS
“Much might be said on both sides”—Sir Roger de Coverley
1. By Humorist
/it VEN when one meets a member of the Chefoo Lone
Scouts’ Club, one may still think he is no better than
any other scout, but it must be admitted that this trio is
an incomparable one. Of course no boy in the School, or
perhaps in the world, can touch them in signalling, knot-
tying, shooting or even cooking, in which art one stands out
above his two associates.
This member of the “triple alliance”, representing
the “New Hebrides”, once undertook to manage the process
of making the food edible for his classmates. He cut the
meat, keeping a large piece for himself; and, leaving this
aside, he emptied the rest into a seething mass (or mess, if
you prefer it) of pottage. Placing this over the roaring
fire of dried grass, he proceeded to make this apparently
uninviting concoction fit for human consumption .
When he felt assured that the meal had been well
cooked, he announced to the company that dinner would...”

“...and humour. His pathetic appeal
to the Society came as a fitting conclusion to the term’s
meetings, S. D. V. W.
'JOY ONEY is a great factor in the life of the schoolboy of
today. For real happiness, a good bank-account is
of the utmost importance.
After the holidays, Timothy arrives at school with
the grand total of one dollar. The other four of the five
dollars which his affectionate sister gave him as a leaving-
gift he has spent on ginger beer, lemonade and sweets on
the boat en route for Chefoo.
The day after his arrival boxes are unpacked and
Timothy appears in the Form 11 dayroom with a collection
of small amusements for small minds. By the special
request of the other members of his form, he holds a dis-
play, which includes pencils and pens which lack nibs. At
“Stationery Cupboard” he buys two nibs at one cent each.
To complete his equipment, a bottle of red ink must be
bought, costing 23cts. His account now stands at 75 cents.
Two days later, his bank account has suffered a blow...”

“...S.M. is an established
institution.
Many of the boys and girls are members of the Scrip-
ture Union, while the staff at the schools is composed largely
of former C.S.S.M. workers in the homeland. One such,
Mr. Gordon P. Welch, writes about this year’s Services: —
“Last week-end we had a C.S.S.M. Campaign here
and it proved a time of real blessing to all. It was a short,
concentrated effort, but the children here are usually ready
for a series of meetings of this kind. They were gathering
in prayer groups for weeks before the meetings. God’s pre-
sence was very especially felt at the Monday meeting, when
the needs of the Moslem world were brought before us. It
was a great joy having Mr. Haymond Joyce with us just
for the week-end. He is on his way up to the province of
Sinkiang (Turkestan). Strangely enough, he was present
at the first summer C.S.S..M. held in Chefoo. He made
many contacts with the boys here and we are all full of
praise that his visit was just this very week-end.”

H.M.S. Medway.
Last September, the Upper Schools were very for-
tunate in receiving an invitation from the Captain of H.M.S.
Medway, the largest submarine tender in the Asiatic fleet,
to spend the afternoon on board. By 3.45 p.m. we were
nearing the ship in her pinnaces, and, on arrival, we were
ushered into the Officers’ Mess. Before starting out on our
tour of inspection in groups of eight, we were treated to a
delightful tea.
One of the parties was fortunate to be guided by the
Senior Petty Officer. The first item was to get down into
the heart of several engine-rooms of various descriptions.
Unfortunately half an hour’s detailed description was drown-
ed by the throb of machinery. We were then escorted to
various kitchens, bakeries, pantries and cookhouses; there
with that hungry look to admire the last efforts of the cook
on duty. Having seen how humans were filled, we turned
our attentions once again to our engine friends. The escort
informed us that it cost more to feed a two-inch...”

HOCKEY
Owing to fighting round Chefoo, it has been necessary for a
British ship to be in harbour, in order to protect the foreigners in
case of trouble. This has enabled the Port to enjoy some really good
games of hockey against the Navy.
The first match played against H.M.S. Cumberland resulted in
a win for the ship. The Chefoo team never settled down to play
together.
H.M.S. Bridgewater then took the place of H.M.S. Cumberland
and two games were played against her, the score in the first being
2-1 in the ship’s favour, and in the second 3-1, the navy again winning.
In the latter match Chefoo suffered a loss when Mr. Houghton was
injured and had to retire.
The next ship in port was H.M.S. Sandwich and the first match
resulted in a win for Chefoo, the score being 2-1. On the following
Tuesday a return match was played. The game was very fast, but
neither side managed to gain an advantage...”

(The news of Old Boys and Old Girls, which has ap-
peared under this heading for the past few issues has been
taken direct from the Chefoo Schools Association News letter.
We are afraid no direct acknowledgment of this fact has
been made in previous issues. For this omission we now
make public apology. This section of the magazine is of
great interest to us all)
The following notes are taken direct from the latest
issue of the News-letter, Dec. 1932.
Jim Broomhall is in his fourth year of Medicine at the London
Hospital.
Kitty Broomhall is “house-keeping” at home.
Jecca and Josie Broomhall are attending school in Dulwich, where
Dr. Broomhall has his general practice.
Miss E. M. Broomhall just arrived home on furlough from Chefoo at
the beginning of September. (We hope that the “removing of her
tonsils” proved successful, and that she is now enjoying her stay at
home.)
Peggy Brown has started her general nurses’ training at...”

Exmoor he returned to work for a Land and Estate Agent. He is
taking the Intermediate Examinations of Auctioneers’ and Estate
Agents’ Institute in March. (Good luck to him!).
David Landsborough is in the London Hospital, doing his second year
medicine work. He enjoys the anatomy and physiology, etc., very
much, but says that “there’s a frightful lot to learn!’’
Rachel Lewis is showing what Chefoo can do in the Nursing World.
After winning the Gold Medal at Barnardo’s Hospital, she proceeded
to come out top in the Preliminary Training School exams. Her
grounding at Chefoo in Anatomy and Physiology has evidently been
a good help to her. She is now at University College Hospital, looking
forward (!) to her Preliminary State Examination.
May Polhill has been staying at home for a year, taking lessons in
dressmaking, etc. She hopes, however, to enter Durdham College of
Domestic Science in January.
Violet Polhill is now head student at Durdham College, St. Leonards,
and has been...”
