But this year the school building was so dif- ferent in temperature during the winter months, that some- how they did not seem to drag on for so long. Lectures on “The Romance of Words” by Mr. Houghton, and “The Origin of Ball Games” by Mr. Martin made us see what interesting things there are to learn, even about our ordin- ary games and the words we use. Another lecture on “Telegraphy” by Mr. Booth was much appreciated, and the season closed with a concert, the majority of...”

“...August 1st—fifteen days late—the Oxford papers arriv- ed. The Exam, was held immediately, and was put through as quickly as possible, because we were all very anxious for our holiday. CHINA INLAND MISSION SCHOOLS. Foundation Stones Laid For New Buildings. Another milestone passed, another corner turned, another day of remembrance added to the history of the China Inland Mission Schools. On Tuesday April 4th. an impressive scene was wit- nessed by a large company, when the foundation stones of the new Preparatory School and of the Co-Tuition Building were laid by the Rev. G. W. Gibb, the China Director of the China Inland Mission. By three o’clock in the afternoon the three schools had assembled east of the godown on the C.I.M. Compound, with members of the mission and friends of the schools. Mr. Bruce, the Headmaster of the Boys’ School, opened the pro- ceedings by the announcement of a hymn familiar to all old boys and girls—“We come unto our fathers’ God”. This was sung heartily by the assembly...”

“... and in the case of the Chefoo school remained an English boarding school. In the noble cause of examinations, China and cosmO' politanism faded away. For such a school at the back of beyond, some universally recognized exammination standard had to be maintained, and so our scholastic efforts were all directed towards three Oxford local examinations, correspond' ing roughly to Junior and Senior Matriculation and a prelimin' ary examination about the standard of the old Lower School. The final of these, the entrance examination to Oxford uni' versity, we regarded as the open sesame from our little world of China, to anything in the great beyond of “the homelands”. Of the curriculum suffice it to say, that the English system differs from our Canadian one mainly in the division of elementary and secondary schools. We had four years in the elementary and seven in the secondary or High school, and for the secondary period, boys and girls were in two different schools. In the secondary school...”

“...wheelbarrow? That is travel de luxe, which no Cook’s tour can offer. We preferred not to think of the trip back from the sunny south of China to bleak, cold, wind-swept Chefoo in January, but even then the two or three days of homesick misery soon gave way to the delightful friendships of boarding school once more. A ten year association from kindergarten to prefect- ship, cemented by shared illicit midnight feasts, games, exams, pranks perpetrated in lower school and detected in prefect days, form a bond that the seven seas cannot break, and they had to stand just that test, for at graduation we scattered to the four corners of the earth. Wherever our parents hailed from, were it England, Scotland, Ireland, the States, Australia or Canada, even Sweden, France and Germany, there Chefoo- ites returned. In post-war days the Chefoo schools saw even one or two “White” Russian refugees, and these mixed, ap- parently without contamination, with the daughters of the Russian Consul, presumably “Red”. In...”

“...225 IMPRESSIONS of the EXHIBITIONS. “I’m sure you are going to enjoy it”, a friend told me recently as he was enthusing over the yearly Exhibitions that are given by the three C.I.M. schools at Chefoo. I was a stranger in Chefoo, and was not particularly interested in ‘the Exhibitions’ (as he and other Chefoo people call them). It was not until I had heard at least a half dozen others, of reputation equally reliable, with glistening eyes, wax eloquent on this darling theme, that I felt enough interest tn it to even inquire the date on which it was to be held this year. However, when the warm afternoon of July twenty- fourth arrived, it found me, together with several hundred others, seated in the C. I. M. Memorial Hall watching, while seventy or eighty boys and girls of the Preparatory School streamed into, and quietly filled up the white tiers of seats on the platform before us. Everybody began to clap, so I did too, to keep up appearances. There were yet a few minutes before things were...”

“...226 After that, these little people gave us a very generous program. Thee were, in all, a dozen songs, sung by the lower and upper schools, and by selected voices: eight re- citations; two pianoforte duets, and two pianoforte solos. Those piano solos and duets-------1 I did enjoy them, I must admit. I know one man, who, after he heard them that afternoon, declared with a determined set to his chin, and a glint in his eye, “If those little kids can play like that after only a year’s practice, then so can 11 ” After the performance was finished some of us went to see the drawings and handwork of the ‘Prepites’. I thought most of the little baskets and mats and models and other handicraft were very neat and clever for such young people, and some of the drawings were quite good. But I did sadly ‘lose face’ over one picture we looked at. Someone covered up with his hand the title to this drawing, and then demanded, “Tell me what this picture is about”. I replied at once, “Why, it’s a man fishing...”

Although I am not a Chefusian, I had grown quite enthusiastic over Chefoo during the first two days of Exhibition, and it was with a feeling almost akin to pride that I viewed the eighty-three or so young fellows (big strapping chaps, some of them) who filed into the seats on the platform up front on the afternoon of July twenty-sixth. Mr. Porteous took the chair; Mrs. Porteous and Mr. Bruce were also on the plat- form. *♦. T j » n r T** J * l The Boys’ School program had fewer items than either of the previous two. There were only three songs, two recitations, and two pianoforte solos. ‘Bees’ was a quaint and rather catchy number: part of the boys kept up a soft buzzing sound, while the rest sang the words of the song. The effect was good. The last piece ‘Men of Harlech’ was sung by the whole school; it put ‘the fight’ into one’s blood to hear the challenging shouts of those dauntless...”

“...! ’ of the piano with Gardiner at the throttle, was more than I could see through. The lads wound up the drill with a slow, majestic march in pyramid formation. They halted before us, and after singing the School anthem broke loose and ‘chaired’ the chief prefect, David Parry, and two others of the pre- fects, Ray King and Stanley Weller, while we visitors went off to the library to view the boys’ artistic efforts. Allow me to add, that after these three interesting days, I too have become a Chefoo-enthusiast; and I suppose next year I will be gushing away about ‘The Exhibition’ as loudly as anyone else.

“...air-drome is situated on the soldiers' drillground across from the East Fort, which has been changed into a vast stadium, seating over a thousand people. From this stadium people have a wonderful view, when the boys and girls from the C.I.M. Schools exhibit their prowess in flying, on the traditional Exhibition Days. The business section of Chefoo extends from second to fourth beach, and the large office-buildings such as McMullan & Co. and each departmental store, have a landing-field for aeroplanes, on the roof. A railway, which was laid behind the hills, connects Chefoo with Weihaiwei and all the northern cities. The hills are no longer bare and rugged, for a lovely residential section has come into...”

H. and S. G. 1ST CHEFOO GUIDE COMPANY | A diary of the year’s doings taken from the Patrol Log Books. 16 September 1932. Certain queer signs were found on the Guide Club Room door. Most of us looked at them knowing that ignorance is bliss. The signa- ture was a feather, and it all meant, to make a long story short— that it was the 16th day of the Moon of Hunting. The feather is Captain’s signature to all her Indian messages. To begin with, we had a meeting or pow-wow to discuss things of importance, and what the Red Man has to teach us that is useful in Guiding.

The School greatly missed the help of Olsson, but throughout the season there have always been a number of competitors for the various positions in the team. D. Moore has made a good captain and is a thorough sports- man under all circumstances. He has received excellent support from R. A. King. Early in March the Committee awarded colours to S. Rist, J. A. Whitelaw and D. F. 'Parry. We were fortunate in having Miss D. Stark in Chefoo this season and she kindly presented these colours. There was great enthusiasm over the senior house matches. In the last game Paton easily managed to beat Livingstone and thus carried off the honours. Carey was suffering from the loss of so many of its last season’s good players but will no doubt pull up next season.

The following items of news, came to hand from other sources. Under the title of “Holiday Adventure” “Plucky Swim in Teeth of Squall” there recently appeared a stirring account of Miss Gladys Evans’ rescue of a party of Japanese from an oarless fishing boat which dragged its anchor, whilst they were using it as a base for their bathing. By the time that the occupants realised their predica- ment, they were being blown out to sea, towards the rocky coast of Hamazaki, so one of them swam back to the receding shore to summon aid. No boats were nearer than two or three miles, so the young student laid hold on two planks, and at this juncture...”

“...sends greetings to Miss Evans.) Mrs. Lindsay writes from a Missionary Itest Home on the outskirts of Toronto, “Just before Easter week-end, I had a brain- wave...or as I like to think, a flash from our Father in Heaven...Why not have a Chefoo House-Party?” Even at such short notice the following gathered: Miss McCarthy, M. HSiicoll, 0. Rouse, M. and S. Tull, M. Bunting, W. Tyler, and Mr. and Mrs. C. Lagerquist for part or all of the time. Space forbids the inclusion of the rest of Mrs. Lindsay’s very interesting account of that gathering. A Chefoo “Tennis and Chat” took place at the G.S. on August 4th when twenty Old Girls repersenting many school, “generations” turned up. Many of you have read of this in Miss Pvle’s letter.
