Miss Rice was able to be with us for a short time only, owing to ill-health, and there was also a good deal of illness in the school it- self. In both schools there was an epidemic of “flu” to which many, particularly the middle school girls, fell vic- tims. In addition, there were about six cases of appendi- citis and many suffered from appendasympathy which, how- ever, disappeared after the patients had been put in bed and given no meals for a day or two. The consequence of all this illness was that...”

“...161 IN THE HANDS OF THE REDS A CAPTIVE’S STORY. large number of residents of Chefoo met in the China eV Inland Mission Memorial Hall on Thursday afternoon April 16th at 5. o’clock to join in thanksgiving to God for the deliverance of Messrs. Hayman and Bosshardt from captivity. The news of Mr. Bosshardt’s release reached Che- foo on Tuesday, April 14th and the C.I.M. lost no time in organising a gathering to celebrate the occasion and to give the community the opportunity of hearing from Mr. Hayman’s own lips an account of his experiences. The proceedings opened with the singing of Cowper’s hymn—'“God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform”. Mr. Bruce then read Psalm 118 and, with a few introductory words, called upon Mr. Hayman to speak. “We are here this afternoon to celebrate a victory in the Heavenlies” said Mr. Hayman. “Our captivity has been a matter which has affected the kingdom of God. I am glad to be able to thank you for the share that you have had in this victory...”

“... and the messengers who had kept in touch with the prisoners at such great risk, Mr. Hayman called on the gathering to sing the Doxology. Impressions from such a recital of facts must surely be abiding. Rarely is such an opportunity given to hear so convincing a witness to the unchangeable power and presence of God. The community in Chefoo owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Hayman for telling his story with such frankness and such simplicity. Mr. Hayman was in capti- vity for 413 days, and Mr. Bosshardt for about 4G0. Both were charged by the Soviet Government of Szechwan, Kweichow, Yunnan, Hunan and Hupeh with being Imperialist spies. A POEM THOUGHTS ON CHEFOO When He was here on earth, Our Lord disciples chose From out the fishermen beside the sea; And still where there are open ears and willing hearts We hear His gentle calling, “Follow Me.” When tier on tier the restless waves come surging in, Thundering ceaselessly, then we recall That as the sound of many waters is His voice, And know...”

“... At Tunbridge Wells, England. Miss R. Angwin, (Retired List.) I feel I must write you something. Probably all old boys of my time, 30 years ago and more, will be writing too, so you will be inundated. Very well, then, Drop me out! “Old Scroogie!” That’s what we used to say in tones of despair, resentment, but increasing respect, in the First, second and Third Forms respectively. But after we left school, it was “Dear old ‘Scroogie’.” I don’t know Miss Ang- win’s exact dates,—when she came to Chefoo, or when she retired,—but I do know what a no-mistake-about-it, well- established, inescapable institution she was to us kids of ten to twelve, when we were first in the Boys’ School. Just what others remember, I don’t know; but I can literally feel my memories. That long, cold corridor; the Workroom,—first door on the left; the room opposite,1—the “Medicine Cupboard,’’—both together having at least six corners for boys to stand in, and seldom unoccupied out of school hours. Well I remember ’em...”

“...174 2. SYNTHETICS About the time that the Capitol Cinema first made its appearance in Chefoo, the managers of that concern had attached to a telegraph pole near the theatre a small placard, on which were the words CINE THEATRE. It happened that this sign was directly on the road leading to the Union Church. The following Sunday, as the boys passed along that way, a certain ingenious but absent minded mathematician, at the head of the line, who was constantly thinking of the School Certificate for which he was to sit not long after, observing the sign, suddenly ex- claimed. “Ah! SINE THETA” and mused awhile upon numerous trigonometrical formulae. 3. THE AMBIGUOUS SEAT One day a few months ago, during supper, some small fry in the Second Form, having finished their meal, began to grow restless and impatient; it was not long before they had thought of some mischief. Accordingly, they all began squeezing on to one bench, and this went on till the grunts and the creaks of the boys and the bench...”

“...delightful to watch. Occasionally there was some wild hitting, but that was due to the players’ determination to hit hard and take risks—just what the spectators like to see. Several times there were some prolonged rallies and the girls showed as good judgment as the boys. The set went again to J. Shaw and L. Trickey, whose combination gave them six games to their opponents’ four. Old boys and girls who read this account will be surprised that no mention has been made of the racquet championship. The Chefoo Schools Association has in the past presented racquets to the winners of a mixed doubles competition. Partners have been drawn by lot from the best players in the two schools. It has been felt by some that the Foundation Day play has been too restrained and that the drawing of partners has not always produced the best match from a spectator’s point of view. As a result of correspondence, the C.S.A. is this year offering cups to the winners of Singles Championships in the Boys’ and Girls’ Schools...”

“...exuberant ap- plause which was only exceeded by that which rewarded each of his turns at the piano. After a short interval Mrs. Dilley and Mrs. Bazire play- ed two Hungarian Dances by Brahms and Miss Edwards sang a Harvest song. After this there were three purely light- hearted items. A quartette convulsed the assemblage with their mock anthem on the “Old Woman who Lived in a Shoe”; Mr. Martin was equally entertaining, though not caus- ing so much uproar, with his historico-allusive notes on Chefoo ways. And Mr. Foster Hall again obliged with two pieces from his repertoire of cheerful musical monologues. Mr. Chalkley, who was in the chair, expressed the appreciative thanks of the audience to those who had con- tributed to the evening, and the proceedings closed reverent- ly with the singing of “The Saviour of the World”....”

“...in fact everything reflected the greatest credit on children and staff, and many parents rejoiced with thankfulness to God, that here in a foreign land, so far from home, their little ones were able to obtain so good an education, laying solid foundations for years to come, helping them to grow in body, mind, and spirit along lines calculated to fit them for the after years of life. CHINA INLAND MISSION SCHOOL ANNUAL PRIZE-GIVING The annual Prize-giving of the China Inland Mission Schools in Chefoo is always a gala occasion; but it was an especially auspicious event this year, because it was the first year that the Boys’ and Girls’ School programme, prize-giving and drill have been packed into one thrilling afternoon. Everyone present felt the excitement in the air, but to a newcomer it was especially contagious. In the first place, the weather was beautiful after the heavy rain of the day before, clear and sunny yet not too hot. An hour before the programme began, people began to stream...”

“...where in America” (this from an American seeing it for the first time). “What a wonderful spirit! I’ve heard about the Chefoo Schools, but I never realised how exceptional they are.” “What a group that Quintette are! Did you see the stack of books Henrietta Andrews had? She’ll need a bookcase.” “The pianists were real musicians and the accompanists w7ere equally finished. So the com- ments rose and fell; all were appreciative, all were thrilled, each enjoying the particular bit that touched most deeply—echoes of songs, snatches of recitations, congratulations and excited buzz filled the air. Entering the Boys’ Quadrangle, what a sight met the eyes! Surrounding the square quadrangle were hundreds of happy people dressed in all colours transforming the grey stone spaces into a veritable garden of colour. A large gruup of Chinese gathered at the rear' and, beyond, the green Chefoo hills formed a perfect background. A group of selected boys marched into the centre and, under the capable direction...”

“...202 TENNIS There were many change in the tennis this year. Instead of having the best six girls and boys playing to^ gether for the racquets, as in former years, the Tennis Com' mittee chose the best four girls and boys to play two mixed doubles matches on Foundation Day. This year there has been a singles championship in each school, open to both Tennis and Boating clubs. A cup was presented by the Chefoo School Association to the winners. This took the place of the Tennis Brooch in the Girls’ School and the Foundation Day racquets in both schools. The finals were played off in public, E. Bruce winning in a match with Jean Shaw and L. Trickey winning against D. Kidder. A higher standard of play was attained on Founda* tion Day owing to the fact that the girls and boys had played together almost daily on the new courts in front of the Co'Ed. building. GIRLS’ SCHOOL BOATING This year the season started auspiciously with a low tide, making it necessary for us to paddle to the boats. The weather...”

“...not, is also a very sure field. Slichter showed himself to be a very credit- able wicket-keeper and a fearsome hitter on his day. In the important match of the season on Foundation Day, the School just lost the match, mainly owing to Mr. Lutley’s bowling and the Headmaster’s batting. The latter was not to be caught napping twice in a season by Trickey, who on this occasion, as also did Griffin, bowled very well with rather bad luck. Below are appended the averages of some of the members of the Chefoo Cricket Club and some of the School team: BATTING: Inn. N.O. Total H.S. Av. A. F. Lutley 12 3 545 171x 60.5 P. A.
