NCE more the Editorial chair groans beneath its burden —but what a change—can it be that this smug, self-.satisfied and confident occupant was the trembling, tongue-tied, terror-stricken shadow who filled the same position but a short year ago ? And why this change ? In truth we have not far to seek, ’tis contained in a single figure :—VOL. II. We feel that the Chefoo Magazine has now attained the dignity of age, and we hope has also fully established its claims on all the...”

“...2 THE CHEFOO MAGAZINE. members of our Association, and their name is legion. Still, there are many more who have either not yet heard of the Association or who are still uncertain about joining, It is the duty of all members to enlighten the former, and enlist the latter. Up to the present those who have contributed to the Magazine are comparatively few in number, and represent but a small proportion of those whose names are chronicled in its pages. We hope for better things in the near future, so that our Magazine may increase in size as well as circulation. FOUNDATION DAY, 1909. [IS does not convey much to those of us who (to go back no further) were of the Armstrong or Hunter regime, but let me tell you, it is a festival to conjure with in these days. We were used to an occasional musical evening and something in the nature of a mild celebration on breaking-up day, but, let me whisper to you, we merely touched the outside fringe of a festivity as the present-day scholars understand it...”

“...THE CHEFOO MAGAZINE. 3 late years this has been between the first and second crews, and as the second crew was the second crew, the event proved to be more of a procession than a race. Interesting it was, of course, and provided an opportunity for small boys and girls to shout’and clap, but from a sporting point of view it was rather painful. This year, Mr. Lea, efficient and popular, infused new life and interest into the annual contest. The old conditions were abandoned and two crews were picked, as follows :— “ A ” Crew :—C. Wilson, E. Rinell, A. Hadley, A. Hayward. H. Coulthard, (Cox.). “ B ” Crew ■—C. Pakenham, G. Clarke, H. Foucar, N. Duffv T. Hoste, (Cox.). At 5.30 on Monday afternoon the scene on the water opposite the school was animated indeed. Every gig and dinghy had been requisitioned and, full of interested spectators, lay off the school raft to watch the finish. A steam-launch towed the competing boats to the. beacon (off Bottle Rock) and without the loss of any time Mr....”

“...4 THE CHEFOO MAGAZINE. do ? ” a propos of the American minister who, failing to unite the upper and lower strata of his church, went for a time as a factoryhand and was met by this searching question. The speaker reminded his audience that all they learned now would enable them to do later on, as the world wanted us for what we can do. During the service the girls sang “The Lord is my Shepheid, and the boys, “ There is a better world they say.” At the close the “ Hallelujah Chorus ” was finely rendered by both schools. At 3.30 the rattle of teacups was heard under the trees in front of the old P.C.S., a part of which is now the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Murray. The three schools (yes, there is a Preparatory School now) and numerous friends from the Compound, Temple Hill and Settlement partook of tea at the kind invitation of the staff of the Boys’ School. This safely negotiated and a photograph of the children having been taken, the company adjourned to the tennis-court in front of the...”

“...THE CHEFOO MAGAZINE. 5 MY SCRAP-BOOK. [2Vo apologies are tendered to the married folk who appear below under their maiden names /] A T last my scrap-book is an accomplished fact, and the old photographs that have so long been languishing at the bottom of a drawer are now securely pasted into their appointed place. 1 turn the pages over, and Chefoo—the old Chefoo of the nineties that I knew— looks out at me from every page. Here are views of the schools, taken from the gardens, the beach, the hills, the high road, seen from every possible position, in sunshine and in snow. Here, too, are “ snaps ” of bathing parties, the raft, the boats and the “ gun carriage.” What good days each recalls ! On this page a tennis match is proceeding in the Prep. School Court (I know the Preppites have long since moved to the Family Hotel, yet I can’t but think of them as newly instated in the old Boys’ School). A host of us are watching eagerly from under the trees while D. Lloyd manfully (sic) opposes P...”

“...6 THE CHEFOO MAGAZINE. Ottaway serve further to accentuate Lily’s untimely mirth. How well I remember that day, our excitement and importance, Hettie’s vain attempts to hide her unpolished shoes, Gladys’ jests and Bertha’s merriment. How gay we of the Fourth were ! What fun —good, honest fun—we had, for those were the days of the “ Cruet-stand,” and the “ P.J.P.J.T.” Next comes a picture of Sing-tai’s Bungalow—the gardens obviously designed for hide and seek; and another of Tadpole Brook and the Monastery. Do the Sixth—my Sixth—remember the picture when one precious bottle of raspberry vinegar disappeared from the said brook, and how we tried to terrify an old priest into confession by walking round him in solemn file chanting the alphabet ? Here is a charming view of the beach at high tide, with Bottle Rock standing out in splendid isolation. Is it still inaccessible I Wonder ? On this page is Mr. and Mrs. Murray’s wedding group. Looking back, it would appear that we regarded those weddings...”

“...THE CHEFOO MAGAZINE 7 TERRITORIAL CAMP LIFE ON SALISBURY PLAIN. AN APPEAL TO CHEFOOITES. URELY there are few holidays more enjoyable than a week or fortnight in camp. Think of the pleasures of eating, working, sleeping and, in fact, living surrounded by the fragrant country or sea air. Imagine what it is to wake in the morning without the feeling of stifling imprisonment which is given off by the close proximity of walls and ceiling. It is, there is no doubt, a glorious sensation to turn out straight into the fresh air and enjoy a nice cold wash or bathe. Well! these and more pleasures does a Territorial enjoy in camp; whilst there is always the feeling that he is serving his country. Now for the life itself ! Let us start from home. Each man, of course, travels to the appointed parade-ground by himself—that is, if he is not lucky enough to live near another member of his battalion. The parade-ground quoted in the Battalion Camp Orders is usually a fairly deserted road within ten minutes’...”

“...THE CHEFOO MAGAZINE, our kit-bags, which had by this time arrived from the station by cart, as the general thing is to put the bag in the place-selected for the bed, otherwise'other people find it convenient to take possession. We had hardly enough time to do this before we were called out to receive a couple of blankets and a waterproof sheet each ; this being followed by another scramble, the idea of which was to get the bed made before the others returned, as there is not quite enough room for eight men to walk about at once in When the camp was fairly settled we had a good dinner, and as it was about eight o’clock when we finished and we were exceedingly tired, we “ turned in,” after selecting two orderlies for the following day. Very few of us, I think, heard “reveille, which was blown at 5 a.m. next morning, with the exception, of course, of most of the recruits, who take about three nights to get used to the hard earth ; but we all woke up with a start when three members of our band...”

“...THE CHEFOO MAGAZINE. 9 Last August, with several exceptions, of course, the serious work of the day started about eight, when we left camp, after being served out with half a pork pie or a small piece of cheese and three “dog biscuits.” The cheese was so large that most of the men used to take it in a portmanteau with them, but I always kept mine in the back of my watch in case I should lose it. The band escorted us about five miles out of camp, when it left us, and we commenced rushing up and down hill. This we continued to do for about four, hours. I don’t think many of us really enjoyed it at the time, because it was too much like work, which, I assure you, is a thing that I for one always steer clear of; in fact, I had to consult a dictionary just now to see how it is spelt. At about one o’clock we stopped for lunch. I used to take my own biscuits after the first day, as I found that after twenty minutes’ hard gnawing I wore away half a tooth without making the slightest impression...”

“...IO THE CHEFOO MAGAZINE. A THE ANNUAL AYLESBURY REUNION. GAIN those members of the C.S.A. who were able to be present are indebted to Mr., Mrs.) Miss, and Horace Hunt, for a very pleasant day spent at their home in Aylesbury on August Bank Holiday. A number of us arrived by the 9.25 a.m. train from Marylebone Station, and were greeted by the six-foot form of our Editor and conducted to his home in Church Street, where we disposed of our various impedimenta before proceeding to the beautiful garden where we spent such a pleasant time last year. Though not such a glorious day as the previous holiday, yet the sun shone approval upon us with a frequency which made us forget the unpleasant dampness of the past few months. While a very liberal lunch (such as we Chefooites are always able to do justice to) was being prepared, an interesting and very evenly contested game of tennis took place on one lawn, while on the other an equally interesting croquet match occupied the attention of the others...”

“...THE CHEFOO MAGAZINE. ii THE ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE STUDENT CHRISTIAN MOVEMENT. there are an increasing number of “ Old Chefooites ” entering the Universities and Colleges of this country, I think an article on the above-named conference will interest not a few readers of our Chefoo Magazine. A brief explanation of the “ Student Christian Movement may be appropriate at the commencement. This Movement, which is represented by a Christian Union in almost every college in Great Britain and Ireland, seeks to bring before the students Christ’s claim on their lives. It carries on different forms of work, such as regular meetings for students, and circles for Bible study, those methods being adopted which are best suited to the existing circumstances of each college. The Movement in this country, which is associated with the Student Volunteer Missionary Union, forms a unit of a similar, but world-wide Movement, namely, the “ World’s Student Christian Federation,” which has representatives in...”

“...12 THE CHEFOO MAGAZINE. Dr. Walter Miller of Northern Nigeria, and many other well-known ministers. The Chairman of the Conference was Mr. McEwen Lawson of Lancashire College, Manchester University. One afternoon of the Conference is given up for an excursion by brakes to Haddon Hall or some such interesting place, while another afternoon is devoted to sports, which are usually very interesting and often extremely comical. This summer saw three old Chefooites at the Conference: C. Wilson (who acted as one of the Transport Officers), E. Fishe, and myself. I know they will heartily agree with me that, in addition to the very real spiritual privileges which the Conference affords, one can have an ideal holiday, with sports, rambles, bathing, and all the joys of a country life so delightful to a true-hearted Chefoo girl or boy.

“...14 THE CHEFOO MAGAZINE. THE GENERAL SECRETARYSHIP OF THE ASSOCIATION. By a Member of Committee. It may not be generally known by members and friends that since December last, this position has been most ably filled by the Association’s first Treasurer, E. S. Elliston. In December A. B. Randle was compelled to resign owing to changing circumstances, and to the expectation of shortly joining his home people in Manchester. At this time, E. S. Elliston most kindly undertook to act as Secretary, and the great prosperity of the Association is a proof of his capability and enthusiasm. Now, however, to our great regret, Elliston is leaving us for an appointment in Shanghai, and at our request Randle has taken up the position vacated, with a keen assistant in F. E. Parry. This has been possible owing to further and unexpected changes which forecast a prolonged stay in London for our first General Secretary. We are confident that we spea.k for all in expressing our sincere thanks to E. S. Elliston...”

Girls’ School, Chefoo, August 20th, 1909. My Dear Miss Randle, I wish to thank, through you, all those who so kindly gave the Good Conduct Watch this year. I think it is a perfect beauty. As next year will be my last here, it will be very nice to have such a souvenir to remind me of the many years I have spent in Chefoo. Once more thanking you, I remain, Yours very sincerely, Agnes Clarke. As so many of our “ Old Girls ” have returned to China, our subscriptions for 1909 only amounted to £1 is. 6d.
