“...The Chefoo Magazine. PREPARATORY SCHOOL. iGMtorial. T HE Editor has much pleasure in issuing the first number of the “ Chefoo Magazine.” He is quite aware of the great responsibility which has been vested in him by the Committee in thus commencing an Old Chefoo Girls’ and Boys’ Magazine, but is confident that it will receive the hearty support and sympathy of all who have been through the Schools. It is not without some hesitation, caused doubtless by our inex- perience, that we sit down to pen the first editorial of our Magazine. ___ Cbristmas. 1908,...”

“...2 THE CHEFOO MAGAZINE. We feel sure that all Old Girls and Boys will endeavour to help us in our difficult task by not only subscribing regularly to the paper, but by contributing freely to its pages. It is the object of this little Magazine to assist in keeping the Old Girls and Boys of the Chefoo Schools, all the world over, in touch with one another, and also to enable them to obtain accurate information of the doings in Chefoo at the present day, which cannot fail to interest those who have likewise spent perhaps the happiest time of their lives at the Schools there. We also hope that it may help to bring about reunions in various parts of the world, between those who would not otherwise have known each others’ whereabouts, and who, for Auld Lang Syne, would rejoice to see each other again. Thus we hope to link, not only the past with the present, but those of the past who arc scattered, together. THE HISTORY OF THE CHINA INLAND MISSION SCHOOLS, CHEFOO. TI wrote to a master who has...”

“...THE CHEFOO MAGAZINE. 3 The necessity of having some place where our missionaries could come to as a health resort, had been much on the mind of our late beloved Director. Much prayer, we have no doubt, had been ottered : and still the answer was deferred. A chance meeting with a Chinese landowner, however, supplied the answer. The question, “Does the foreign teacher wish to purchase land?” led to Mr. Judd bringing this strange Chinaman in to see Mr. - ,01.' Before he left, a piece of land was granted for a sum much below what it was expected would be required for it• and thus after the usual formalities, deeds drawn up, etc., our first property in Chefoo was duly registered. A ship called the Christian had been wrecked some miles further down the coast. It was the timbers of that ship that supplied much of the woodwork of not a few of our buildings erected at that time in Chefoo. The first building was the one now occupied by the Honorary Medical Attendant of the schools. In one of the...”

“...4 THE CHEFOO MAGAZINE. School being laid by the late Dr. Douthwaite on 15th June, 1895. That day has ever since been observed by the school as “ Founda- tion Day.” When some two years later the boys were able to remove to their new building, it was thought well to bring the Preparatory School children back to our Mission Compound. They occupied the old Boys’ School until a more suitable building was obtained, viz., what was known to old Chefoo residents as the “ Family Hotel.” This became Mission property in due course, and there successive generations of “ Prepites ” have received the elements of an educa- tion which has stood many of them in good stead in after life. The Girls’ School has also found it necessary to increase with the increasing demand of fresh applicants. First a new schoolroom, classrooms, and dormitory accommodation had to be built on the north side of the original buildings ; and now as late as 1907 it became necessary to remove the old structure altogether, and hence...”

“...THE CHEFOO MAGAZINE. 5 REUNION AT NEWINGTON GREEN. HROUGH the kindness of Miss Williamson and Mr. Marcus Wood, Old Chefoo Girls and Boys and their friends met at the C.I.M., Newington Green, on January 16th last. What inspired the idea none of us ever inquired, but suffice it to say, all spent a really enjoyable time. Most of us had arrived by the appointed hour—6.30 ; and I must confess that it was with something of a feeling of shyness that I was ushered into the company of those who had been to the same schools as I had in dear old Chefoo, as many of them had grown almost out of recognition. Being introduced to Miss So-and-So and Mr. So-and-So, who had been known at school either by Christian or nickname, was rather ludicrous, to say the least of it, and withal somewhat embarrassing, and one felt some- thing like a “ new boy ” going to school. However, this feeling soon passed off, and we were quite old chums, chatting as though we had continued our lives from where we had left them...”

“...THE CHEFOO MAGAZINE. THE CHEFOO SCHOOLS' ASSOCIATION. WHY AND HOW FORMED. A FROM AN OLD BOY’S POINT OF VIEW. BOY cannot .write letters ; at least, nine out of ten cannot, and I’m one of the nine. I almost believe I’m. the ninth. Thus, though I tried for nearly two. years to correspond with Chcfoo and some of my contemporaries., ’twas unavailing, and finally, I lapsed into silence. True, I had not been home long when I received a visit, at the city office where I then was, from W. D. Mudditt. A walk with him in Queen Victoria Street could not but bring to mind the contrast of previous walks on the “Highway,” the “ Top bank,” the “ Gulleys ” and other haunts of a Chefoo boy—all of fadeless memory. I had accompanied G. H. Fishe on a twenty mile cycle ride, and had called, in company with him, on O. and R. Williams, at a Strand hotel, on their return to England. Twice I met P. J. Riley unexpectedly; once in the city when on business at the firm where I found he was, and again on a Sunday in...”

“...THE CHEFOO MAGAZINE. 7 Chefooite, by the receipt of an invitation to the reunion of old girls and boys in January last, at the C. I. M., Newington Green by the kind invitation of Miss Williamson and Mr. Marcus Wood.’ Such a reunion was not to pass without some effort to make similar gatherings more frequent. Could not an annual reunion be arranged ? Could not some club be formed ? These and many others were the questions asked eagerly one of another, but unfor- tunately, nothing could be settled during the evening. ’ However, a fortnight later several of the old boys met at the invitation of E. S. Elliston, to consider ways and means for the formation of an Association. Those interested in Chefoo history will therefore note that the birth of the Chefoo Schools’ Association took place at 91, New Oxford Street, London, on Wednesday, January 29th, 1908. The next step was of course, to invite the co-operation of the old girls, and the first joint Committee Meeting was held by the kindness of...”

“...THE CHEFOO MAGAZINE. AN OLD CHEFUSCIAN'S PARTY. A RED-LETTER DAY. ANK Holiday Monday ” of August 1908 takes to itself a happy significance, being the date of the first festive function of the C.S.A. after its formation. The kindest of invitations had been issued 'by Horace Hunt to all the Old Boys and Old Girls of the School, known to be in England at the time, to spend the day with himself and his sister, both of whom are old Chefoo scholars, at the residence of their uncle and aunt in the pleasant, old-world town of Aylesbury. As the invitation was particularly attractive in itself, and as we were all very eager to know one another better than we did already, it is superfluous to say that everyone who possibly could, accepted it, although we regret to say two failed to put in an appearance at Marylebone Station, yet the rest of the party arrived in time to scramble with more or less of breathless greetings into the 10.15 train. Being Bank Holiday, we travelled slowly, though happily,...”

But anyhow, the ladies, very soon said they were tired, and weren’t going to climb any higher, but that they would wait for us at the bottom if we would promise, not to be late for tea ! Of course we promised; we always do promise everything the fair sex may ask (?) and we went on by ourselves. As we found it particularly dull without them, we kept our promise and duly returned.

“...didn’t mind. In fact, we liked everything that helped, to make a pleasant day last longer, and the reserved carriages kept us from “ the crowd.” We reached Marylebone shortly after eleven o’clock, where an escort from the Mission House was waiting to pilot the lady-contin- gent to safety and repose. Thus ended our first gathering. Now we want another. What an appetite these things create ! Dear old Chefoo Days 1 Good Old Chefooites for ever ! Three cheers, and don’t forget the ” tiger ! ” E, S.

“...12 THE CHEFOO MAGAZINE. At 3.30 p.m. afternoon tea was served under the trees, and then came the tennis, which, to some, is the most exciting part of the day, and to which they look forward most. The sides were as follows : 1. Margaret Cameron and Agnes Clarke v. Harry Hurst and Harry Facrs. 2. Dora Wright and Rhoda Grainger w. Cecil Wilson and Hugh Fitch. The boys’ performance was better this year than it has ever been, and so the girls, who were not up to the usual standard, were sadly beaten, although they held on bravely to the end. The games finished early, so Mr. H. Stooke (umpire), asked the girls to play against each other. The result was more equal victory going to Dora Wright and Rhoda Grainger, after a close game. The boys concluded the afternoon by drilling on the tennis-court, and this was followed in the evening by a concert, which finished up the day splendidly, and we went to bed feeling that we had earned our night’s repose.

“...X4 THE CHEFOO MAGAZINE. The following letter has just been received from the lucky recipient of the watch for 1908 :— C.I.M. Schools, Chefoo, N. China. July 30/A, 1908. My dear Miss Randle, As the winner of the conduct prize this year, I wish to thank the givers of it through you. I have always wanted a watch, and it is especially nice to have one with the shield on the back, to help me to remember Chefoo when I am gone. The voting was different this year from what it has been before. The Third, Fourthand Fifth Forms had two votes apiece, the Upper and Lower Second one, and the teachers three. I am in the Fourth Form, and have been at school almost two years. Again thanking yon, I remain, ■ , Yours very sincerely, MARY LOUISE HAMILTON. THE CHEFOO SCHOOLS' ASSOCIATION.

“...16 THE CHEFOO MAGAZINE. Gbe Sbitor’s Corner. Many will probably think that we have been premature in issuing the first number of the Magazine so early, but the committee thought it would be advisable to adhere to the date on the circular sent out soon after the formation of the Association, announcing the first number in or about September, as many would undoubtedly expect to receive it about this time. The Editor will be delighted to receive and make use of all suitable con- tributions to the paper on any subject of interest to Old Girls and Boys, and hopes that this invitation will be all that is necessary to fill his letter-box, and the Magazine. TO PRESENT BOYS. We have experienced considerable trouble in procuring suitable pictures for reproduction in the Magazine, and this has prompted us to offer three prizes (value ft 2 each) to the boy or boys sending in the best photos of— (1) The Boys’ School, (2) The Girls’ School, (3) The Preparatory School, the prints (one of each) to be unmounted...”
