CAMP CHORUS
At the beginning of the Summer Term, 1942, the Headmaster of the Chefoo
Schools, Mr P. 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

“...gape.
6. Parting days are over
Settled in the chick,
And his joys are like the
Peanut butter thick.
When the old bread-cutter
Cuts a dry, old slice,
Then the peanut butter
Makes it jolly nice.
7. So farewell to sadness
Have a good old time,
For the summer’s coming
Ending is my rhyme.
Oxfords* are forgotten
In the thick of fun,
And our hearts are happy,
Larking in the sun.
Words: Mrs Arthur Taylor
Tune: ‘Riding down to Bangor’.

for schools abroad
