“...1 - CHEFOO BOATING SONG 1. Hector is waiting and Daphne in the sea, And Neptune to row across the bay, Leave the others to their cricket, Bumpy ground and matting wicket, While the south wind sends our oar-thrash up in spray. To the boats, to the boats, Hear the word from eager throats, Where the boats are waiting handy Carried down by Kansampandi, To the boats, to the boats, to the boats. 2. Calm seas look pretty, but there’s time for waves as well, When the wind comes whistling over from the Bluff, There are days when oars get broken, And the coach is too outspoken, And just half a dozen blisters seem enough. But the sea, oh the sea, There’s no better place to be, Leave behind the playground dusty, Leave behind the school books musty, To the sea, to the sea, to the sea. 3. Stroke gets all the glory, but Three does all the work, With the backing off Bow and of Two, And the blame goes to Cox when he steers us on the rocks, But the victory belongs to all the Crew. To the Crew, to the Crew...”

“...2 - CENTENNIAL HYMN FOR CHEFOO SCHOOL JUNE 1981 ST GEORGE’S (WINDSOR) 1. Thankful friends from far and near Celebrate this joyful year, Chefoo, born on China’s shore, Grown through days of peace and war; Lessons learnt in class, at play, All have led us in His way, Hearts and voices let us raise, Our Jehovah-Jireh praise! 2. Now in highlands valley cool Worldwide prayers surround our school, Fears and laughter, tears and joy, Love for every girl and boy. Crafts and skills and half-term fun, Inward battles fought and won, Guide and Guard through all our days, Our Jehovah-Jireh praise! 3. Thus rejoicing, let us still Serve our Lord with mind and will, Having gained this hundredth year Strong in faith we'll persevere. Staff and students from each age Share this glorious heritage - Though all else be sacrificed, We’ll REMEMBER JESUS CHRIST. Words: L S Conway Tune: St George’s (Windsor) page 5...”

“...3 - CHEFOO IN EXILE 1. On that far-away shore long ago left behind, How hot was the sand and how keen was the wind, Where the hills lift their brown rugged line o’er the Bay And the junks past the Lighthouse and Bluff glide away. 2. The old way of life we’ve abandoned for good, With servants in dozens to answer our nod, Pirate Bill and Zerubbabel counting the loaves, And our old Kansampandi to manage the stoves. 3. What’s become of Leander and Hero today, And the Guide Room emblazoned with heraldry gay? Who today use our Field, scene of many a race, And the Quad, that re-echoed with Prisoners’ Base? 4. ‘Nihil Absque Labore”s a true motto still: God, the Fountain of Wisdom, still shows us His will, Still upholds those who steadily trust in His truth, And maturity strengthens the choice of our youth.

“...4 - THE FIELDS OF YESTERDAY 1. In eighteen hundred and eighty-one The Chefoo School was first begun, The finest school beneath the sun, Chefoo, Chefoo, for ever. Chorus: School work, & tennis, & cricket, & tea, Boating and swimming in the sea, Football and hockey and sport for me, Chefoo, Chefoo, for ever. 2. In eighteen hundred and eighty-two They started cricket in Chefoo, And beards and toppers improved the view, Chefoo, Chefoo, for ever. 3. In eighteen hundred and eighty-three Football began with brutal glee, And ankles were broken, and shins and knee, Chefoo, Chefoo, for ever. page 8...”

“...eighteen hundred and eighty-four They started to row by the Chefoo shore And backs were tired, and hands were sore, Chefoo, Chefoo, for ever. 5. In eighteen hundred and ninety-six They built the school of straw and bricks, The scholars got up to monkey tricks Chefoo, Chefoo, for ever. 6. In nineteen hundred and thirty, see McCarthy welcome P.A.B., They’re jolly good fellows, and so say we, Chefoo, Chefoo, for ever. 7. In nineteen-hundred and thirty-four The sexes separate no more. Co-Ed’s the scheme for evermore, Chefoo, Chefoo, for ever. 8. In nineteen hundred and thirty-five The pirates captured us alive, But British planes drove off the hive, Chetoo, Chefoo, for ever. 9. In nineteen hundred and forty-two They swiped our school and compound too, To Temple Hill we then withdrew, Chefoo, Chefoo, for ever. 10. In nineteen hundred and forty-three They made us shift and travel by sea; And we came to Weihsien C.A.C., Chefoo, Chefoo, for ever. 11. In nineteen hundred and forty-five The camp at...”

A. Bruce, conducted the school service. He took for his text the opening verses of Ps. xivi and the refrain, ‘The Lord of Hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.’ Never had the meaning come home to me with such power, in view of the presence of the Japanese and the uncertainty of the future. I wrote this chorus almost immediately as the expression of my deep feeling, and throughout our internment we sang it constantly. Stanley Houghton page 10...”

“...6 - GREET WE THE SCHOOL The Chefoo School Song 1. Greet we the School in whose honour we sing, Whose fame is our trust and care! Grateful affection to thee would we bring, Proof by the deeds we dare. Storing our minds with the lore of the past, Secret of Nature’s Art; Fresh conquests making, we strive to the last Nobly to play our part. Chorus Under the glow of a lamp that is lit On the shores of on Eastern sea; Daughters and sons, in loyalty knit, Plight we our troth to thee. (For Chefoo) 2. Stung by the icy blasts of the North, Or jaded with South-wind blow, Team against team to battle goes forth To conquer a friendly foe. Riding the billows, we rise and fall, Straining with rythmic swing; Partners, we serve and return the ball, Swift as a stone from a sling. (For Kuling) 3. Swiftly descending the slope in the snow, On sledge or toboggan we glide: Straining each sinew, our bodies aglow, Over the track we stride: Cooled in the depths of the mountain stream, We frolic exultantly: Climbing...”

“...9 - PARENT COMES TO CHEFOO 1. Parent comes to Chefoo, Brings his little chick, Wants to come and see who Will his darling lick, Lands he in a bluster Blowing from the Bluff. Parent in a fluster — Clothing not enough. 2. Rickshaws claim the party, Take them to the San, Where a welcome hearty Warms the inner man, Then they ask direction; To the School they seek, And the parent humble Takes his infant meek. 3. By and by the chatter To the school’s kind friends, And they hear the clatter Clatter which ne’er ends. How hard-hearted teachers Do not understand, Treat the dears like creatures, Feelingless and bland. 4. One day passing quad-ward On their ears there fall Sounds that neither of them Understand at all. Is this not a Boys’ School? Yet an ‘uncle’, ‘aunt’, ‘Cat’ and ‘doctor’ meet them, Understand they can't. 5. London Zoo in Chefoo Surely this must be, Animals around them Everywhere they see. ‘Pussy’, ‘Leo’, ‘Dicky’, ‘Gollywog’ and ‘Ape’, Then ‘Tar-baby’, ‘Chicken’, Make them fairly gape...”

“...HUNDRED YEARS Experience Worketh Hope 1. Praise God for these years! How much worship we owe Him Who answered our faith and dispelled lying fears. Chefoo and Kuling both taught us to know Him. Thank God for these seventy years. Chorus: In sunshine and shadow, by sea or on mountains, The tale of the past speaks a message that cheers. Secure we draw courage and hope from deep fountains: Thank God for these seventy years. 2. In games strong and eager, to studies we’re bringing Traditions of industry patient and keen, Rejoicing in books and in music and singing, Delight in things heard and things seen. 3. Enriched by the lore of the lands that we hail from, And learning from China’s old wisdom and art, We gain the wide view, see the ills our lands ail from, And learn with the team to take part. 4. Now thirty years later the thread is unbroken; Chefoo is a name still loved and alive; God guides us and gives us each day a new token That His work still continues to thrive. 5. And from the old stock...”
