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 victims to this plague amongst the boys and girls of the Senior School, but the germ wrought most havoc amongst those of the Prep. School where only a very few escaped it. A complication set in from this, mastoid trouble, and several had to go down to Shanghai to be operated on. Illness did not confine...”

“...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...”

“...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...”

“...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 Longfellow’s words from “Hiawatha”— Build me straight, oh Worthy Master, Staunch and strong, a goodly vessel, That shall laugh...”

“...361 IMPRESSIONS OF THE TENNIS MATCHES One of the Staff of the Schools has asked me to write my impressions of the tennis matches played on Foundation Day. In such pleasant surroundings 1 found it impossible to keep my eye on the court all the time, but when my at- tention was not distracted by the hats of the ladies, the sober criticisms of the men, the never-ceasing chatter of the girls or the charming by-play of some youngsters under the trees, I was able to enjoy all that I saw of the matches. The Boys’ School north terrace makes a charming background for the tennis court, but only the players at the north end of the court and those spectators who are young and nimble enough to scale the north wall can enjoy to the full the restfulness of the scene. The main body of the spectators sit against this beautiful background and must perforce endure the glare of the sand-court and the glittering water beyond. The only consolation I could find for this was that I was able to sit comfortably...”

“...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...”

“...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...”
