Soon after the term had begun and Scarlet Fever had been got rid of, another foe in the form of ‘flu attacked the schools. Numbers fell...”

“...the results were fairly even. The great event of these two past terms was of course Coronation Day. In the morning a service was held in the Memorial Hall; this was followed by a ceremony at the Flagstaff. There was a Fun-Fair at the Consulate in the afternoon and, in the evening, after a Concert, fireworks were let off in the old Prep. North playground, H. M. S. Danae was lighted up and she, with twelve American destroyers, gave a searchlight display. The day after was a whole holiday for the Schools and it was spent at the Bluff in a united picnic. Throughout the Spring and Summer terms the Boys’ School Band was kept on with lack Slichter as conductor. Enthusiasm ran high and the band was able to perform on many occasions, formal and informal. Mrs. Strausser gave her annual violin recital in the Easter holidays. This year’s recital was a special anniver- sary so Mrs. Strausser played some of her old favourites, much to the delight of us all. On Good Friday Stainer’s “Crucifixion” was sung...”

“...339 CORONATION DAY IN CHEFOO MAY 12th By a Girl Guide ATjlE got up bright and early on Coronation Day, realis- vvt jng was t0 be a great event. After donning our Guide uniforms and having breakfast as usual, we were on the alert for a movement on H.M.S. Danae. Exactly at 8.00 a.m. as we looked out to sea, we saw H.M.S. Danae and the American battleships dress for the occasion. The flag at the Girls’ School was also supposed to be hoisted at this hour but a faulty pulley had first to be repaired. Just after the colours were raised on H.M.S. Danae, their band played the National Anthems of Britain, U.S.A, and China. At about 10.30 the Guides assembled and, after having been given our orders, we marched down to the service in the Memorial Hall. We sat quite near the front and were therefore rather conspicuous; not more so, however, than the uniformed and much-bemedalled representatives of various foreign countries who also sat in the front. This feeling was allayed as soon as the service,...”

“...345 THE LORD MAYOR’S SHOW By an Old Boy It is not without considerable diffidence that I venture to intrude upon these pages which have neither seen my name or my character for some time. Yet I have something to tell which is perhaps a unique experience for a past member of the Chefoo Schools, since I marched as a Scout in the Lord Mayor’s Show last year. The Lord Mayor’s Show and Procession, which takes place on the day of the investiture of the new Lord Mayor of the City of London, presents a varied spectacle year by year. Sometimes elephants and whole menageries of beasts appear in the procession: at others, when the Lord Mayor has an interest m the country and open-air life, a panoramic view of farm-life is presented; droves of sheep, cattle, dairy-maids and chickens pass by in grand review. The subject of the last procession was tne development of the defence forces of the City of London. Contingents of troops, clad in the un- iform of the period which they represented, marched in...”

“...348 kind that was needed to suit our feelings. But I left the room with a struggle, wondering how the next set of prefects would treat it. I took my leave of my friends and the masters for the last time. At 6.0 that evening we were just rounding the Bluff, as the boat was late as usual. As I saw in the cool of the evening the receding red roof of my old school, I realised what leaving Chefoo for ever was. Some friends have thought of the bliss of leaving Chefoo for good, but I am convinced when the time comes they will think differently. C. L. Culpepper. SUMMER FANTASIES. “Oh the waiting and the yearning for that bright and glorious sea. White winter holds us bound within this dark and crowded shed”— Thus sang the King of Ocean and a Maid from Thessaly, When they heard the breakers roaring and a crack above their head Revealed a wintry7 sun. At last comes Spring in all its charm of sunshine, rain and wind; King Neptune and Maid Daphne dream anew their summer dreams, Of calm seas, picnics...”

A thick mist, most unusual in Chefoo, came drifting in from the sea, and the Lighthouse Island fog gun was being fired: in these conditions which lasted till a decision had to be made, row- ing was impossible: so the races were postponed to the next morning. Then when we got to the shore to find a fresh North'West wind blowing, we thought with regret of the perfect sea which wasted its calmness during the Cricket. But...”

“...which the pre- dominant note was that of thanksgiving, Dr. F. H. Judd, who officiated, addressed the gathering. As one of the original members of the School as it was in 1881, he described the beginnings of the School’s history. Dr. Judd recalled the fact that the founder of the China Inland Mission, Dr. Hudson Taylor, regained health and strength so rapidly when he visited Chefoo after a serious illness, that he decided, under God’s guidance, to establish a school here for the sons and daughters of missionaries and other Europeans. Dr. Judd spoke of the many benefits he himself had received as a boy in the Schools from a sound Christian education in such a salubrious climate. In the second part of his address the speaker urged the necessity not only of having Jesus Christ as the foundation-stone of Life, but also of building on that foundation a superstructure which would be worthy of the School and of such a Master. To impress this thought the more on the boys and girls, he quoted Lo...”

“...entertainment. But the players are to be congratulated for keeping their heads—there was no wild hitting and the general standard of play was good, if not brilliant. The usual ceremony of the presentation of cups was performed after the first match. Mrs. Preedy, who has recently returned from England, kindly presented the awards, announced by Mr. R. F. Harris. First came the winning crews, boys and girls. These were followed by representatives of the two Houses that gained the cup which the Chefoo Schools Association are awarding this year and in future in...”

“...selections from Schumann, and Mrs. E. P. Railton played a Prelude from Rachmaninoff. Miss Edwards’ rendering of Montague Philips’ “Wake Up” with its birdtrills shewed afresh what a skilful artist the singer is. Mr. Martin read a eulogy on Rowing, to which somebody ought to reply with a counterblast in favour of some other summer sport. The Concert and the celebrations of Foundation Day came to a fitting end with the singing of the Latin School Song, which sums up, as the day does, the features of Chefoo, the opportunities of active and healthy life for body and mind, and the acknowledgement that true life is the gift of God alone. The song was sung heartily, some of the boys and girls singing it for the last time in their school lives. FORM II HISTORY Q. Name some famous seaman in Elizabeth’s reign.

“...had won both strings the Cup would have been theirs, whereas Slessor and Livingstone supporters cheered both teams alternately in the hopes that the honours would be divided. Thus the first initials to be inscribed on the new C.S.A. Tennis Cup will be S. & L. SINGLES CHAMPIONSHIP. Immediately after Foundation Day we started to play off the Singles Tournament in both schools. There wrere 16 entries in the Girls’ School and nearly twice that number in the Boys’ School. This year we used the ‘Knock Out’ system. There were some well contested games—and some surprises—in the earlier stages of the tournament. The Finals of both schools were played on the Boys’ School North Tennis court on the afternoon of .June 30. In the...”

“...37. In the third’ match Carey dismissed Paton for 31 and very easily made 37 for the loss of only one wicket. As the Senior house matches had also been won by Carey, with Paton second, the same order was held for the final points, Carey first, Paton second and Livingstone third.

“...366 CHINA INLAND MISSION PREPARATORY SCHOOL PRIZEGIVING /ji^NLY once in the school year do parents and friends of the C.I.M. Schools have an opportunity of seeing the youngsters en masse on the platform in the School War Memorial Hall; but it would seem that no one who can spare time from normal duties can resist this annual attraction. The Hall was well-filled five minutes before Dr. Judd, the chair- man, announced the first item, “A Song Of Praise”. The hundred odd children all dressed in white sang with such clearness that it was easily possible to hear every word. Prayer followed and then the audience settled down to an entertain- ment which was both aural and ocular. Whether the children performed themselves or watched their friends perform, whether they sang, recited or played, they all seemed to enjoy every moment and to be entirely at their ease. The unrehearsed entertainment for the eye was surely as attractive as the care- fully prepared programme for the ear. What a delicious...”

“...Andrews” at the bottom. We Chefoo people know that name is worth something! Then Miss Kendon made a speech to say “thank you”. She told us she had been happy in Chefoo, but that she was not sad at the thought of leaving.. She also told us that the one who was taking her place as principal of the Prep, had been a little girl in her class when she first came out to China to teach. Dr. Judd was very much surprised that Miss Kendon made a speech, because she had especially asked him to make her speech for her, and he had it there all ready to read out for her, so we insisted that, he should read it to us. In it, Dr. Judd made Miss Kendon say that she was only temporarily “on the Gold Standard” and she was soon going off it. She promised to do her best to make Mr. Gibb visit Chefoo often, and to persuade him to bring her with him. Then Mr. Eaers led in prayer, and we all went and said good- bye, feeling much as Miss Kendon said she felt,—happy to have had her’here in Chefoo all these years, but not...”
