“...years before in the different schools in Chefoo. To say there was a “ hum of conversation ” would be putting it in the very mildest form. One does not often hear a deafening hum, and yet it was almost so. So much to be asked, so many inquiries to be made, so many remembrances to be recalled. Certainly these reunions are red-letter days and can never be aught but pleasant memories in the years to come, when, scattered here and there, our reunions will only be in thought and spirit. Time was all too short to say what we wanted. Many were our expressions of gratitude to those who had so prettily decorated the hall, and done all in their power to give us a good time.
We each had the pleasure of a personal introduction to Mr. and Mrs. Howard. Supper followed, and we did full justice to the excellent repast provided for us. It was a great pleasure to have with us Mi’. MacLaren, Miss Aplin and Miss Ethel Fishe, all either former or present teachers in the schools.
Supper being over, during which...”

“...was handed round.
Then we went into the dining-room and by such delightfully exciting games as “ progressive ping-pong,” and not-too-quiet “ Jenkins says * Hands up,’ ” we let off our animal spirits before rising to such intellectual heights as “clumps ” and other games of the kind.
At supper, the chief topic of conversation was the Chefoo Schools Association, in which, as a somewhat numerous Glasgow Branch, we were greatly interested.
We were all exceedingly glad that such an association had been started. We wished it all success, and hoped that through it the bond of sympathy which has always existed between the old Girls and Boys, and the Chefoo Schools, to which we all feel we owe so much, might be strengthened.
Then we parted, after having spent a pleasant afternoon, due to Mr. and Mrs. Graham Brown’s kindness; and one more link was added to the chain of pleasant memories which will ever bind us to Chefoo. L. Clarke....”

“...Force of Shanghai). It was especially interesting to hear that there were several Old Chefooites present at the wedding ceremony. They are now working amongst the Chinese in that far-off and lonely province of Kansuh.
* * * *
On December 2nd, 1908, at 10 a.m., a quiet wedding took place at St. Andrew's Church, Broadway, Shanghai. The principals were Miss Russell and Mr. H. J. Alty, both of the schools at Chefoo. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. H. A. H. Lea, one of Mr. Alty’s colleagues. Miss Powell, also of the Boys’ School, was bridesmaid, and Mr. Arthur Taylor, who joined the staff of the schools in the autumn of 1907, acted as best man. After the ceremony the bridal party returned to the China Inland Mission House, where refreshments were served. The happy pair left the same morning by train for Chinkiang, where they will spend their honeymoon. Mr. Alty has been on the tstaff of the Boys’ School since 1889, and many of his former pupils will look back with gratitude to the thorough...”

“...mention that the Pagoda Branches of the C.I.M. in Glasgow are holding their annual public meeting in the Christian Institute on Friday, February 12th, at 7.30 p.m. All “ Chefooites ” are cordially invited with their friends.
HONORARY MEMBERS.
We have heard of many instances lately of friends, in some way connected with Chef00, who express regret that they cannot become members of our Association. When the Association was formed, the rule was made that members must have passed through one of the schools as scholars, because it was considered that it was to such persons that the C.S.A. would be of most interest. We regret having hindered our friends from becoming ordinary members, and at the same time we hope we have not hurt anybody’s feelings by thus leaving them out in the cold, because, of course, that was not in the least our intention. Our one desire is to remember the welfare of our old school and everything connected with it. Our excuse is that we are only beginning, and have had to feel...”

“...reach the Editor at least ten days or a fortnight beforehand.
We intend to publish the list of names and addresses once a year only, on February 1st; but attention will be called to all corrections, alterations or additions in each number.
We must admit that we are disappointed in the result of the photographic competition for the boys and girls at the School, only one boy having sent in prints ; but we feel that we ourselves are largely to blame, since the Magazine could not have reached the Schools much before the holidays, when so many are away and would have no opportunity. We have therefore decided to hold the competition open until
May 15th, and feel sure that this will produce better results.
Would it not be interesting to all, if some of our readers were to write short accounts of the work upon which they are engaged? Many would probably find that they were “ birds of a feather,” and this would prove yet another inducement to keep in touch with each other.
It has been suggested that...”
