“...A CHEFOO REUNION, JULY 25th, 1912. T is my privilege to attempt to describe a delightful Reunion. This time, for the first time in history, the scene was laid in old Chefoo. Mr. and Mrs. H. Stooke, who so kindly arranged such a pleasant evening for us, proved a most gracious host and hostess. The weather being propitious we were entertained on the tennis court, which was turned into fairyland. Light was shed on the scene by Japanese lanterns tastefully strung around the court, and a large acetylene lamp was planted beside the organ. The ground was strewn with carpets, and easy chairs were scattered freely about. On our arrival, we were welcomed by Mr. and Mrs. Stooke, after which we became engrossed in renewing old friendships and chattering of the good old times. As will be seen from the appended list, there were over 20 “ Old Chefooites ” present. We were entertained with solos, organ, violin and vocal, one old boy (we knew not in the days of old that he was a songbird) favoured us with...”

“...escorted on board his ship by quite a number of members who assisted in the safe transfer of the bullion. What a warm welcome he must have received from the Treasurer at the other end. Mr. G. Andrew expressed the good wishes of all old boys, first, for Mr. and Mrs. McCarthy on their departure home for furlough, and secondly to Mr. Murray who will be occupying the position of Head Master during their absence. Mr. Murray, who followed, dwelt on the fact that no Reunion could be ideal unless held in Chefoo. In other places where old Chefuscians might gather to spend a pleasant hour in thinking of old places and faces to memory dear, the imagination was apt to run riot, as, however clear the vision of memory might be, they were denied the clearer and more blessed actual vision of the present. The pleasant duty was assigned to Mr. C. Hartwell of expressing the thanks of the company to our kind host and hostess. One remark of his we shall long remember as being most happy on such an occasion : “ There...”

We have recently learnt a bit of Chefoo news that may be of use in suggesting “ prize schemes ” to old Chefuscians able to do something that way if they thought of it. Last year a prize of a guinea was started for the boy in the 3rd and 4th Forms who is voted by general vote of boys and masters as the best all-round boy...”

“...STEAMING THROUGH THE GORGES. VIDENTLY our Editor’s appeal in Chefoo has had the desired effect of awakening more consciences than one ! I have always felt it my duty to try and point out to others, whom I considered better qualified, their duty towards the Magazine, but now under somewhat unusual circumstances, more or less inspiring, it comes home to me that the duty is a personal one ! In a recent number of Chefoo, an article appeared describing the experiences of “ three men in a boat ” on the Upper Yangtze. My contribution is intended to carry my readers still farther West on the same river, this time not in the good old-fashioned houseboat but in the more up-to-date mode of travelling by steam. Without any further introduction let me invite your imagination to join our family party (parents and sister) as we bid farewell to our friends at Ichang, in glad anticipation of finding ourselves, after months of “ refugee-ing,” home once again in Chungking in five days instead of forty, as...”

“...in closing: first, the intense human interest that one cannot but feel in watching the actual process of “change” in a great country like this; and second, the conviction that there are more widely open doors of opportunity than ever before for the proclaiming of the Message of the Gospel. May we all be ready to do our part in entering the open doors ! Lily Parry. nr GIRLS’ SCHOOL CONDUCT PRIZE. C.I.M., Shanghai, A ugust 3rd, 1912. Dear Miss Randle, Another school-year, and my last at dear old Chefoo, has . just drawn to a close. The Girls’ School Exhibition took place on Tuesday, July 30th. I had the much coveted honour of obtaining the Conduct Prize for this year. It is to thank you and the other “ Old Girls ” very warmly that I am now writing this letter. You have chosen a lovely watch this year. I am very glad that it is a wrist-watch, as they are more convenient. I am leaving for England (via Canada) with my parents on Tuesday, the 6th inst. On my arrival in the “ Home Country ” I hope...”

“...appropriate that Mr. Marshall Broomhall was able to conduct the Foundation Day Service. His address on “ Continue ye in these things ” was, so I have heard, one to be remembered. * * * * In the tennis matches good form was shown. The following boys took part and played really well :—Wilder (Theo.), Rinell, Evans, Luce, Hardman and Miller (Z.). * * * * Mr. Murray worked hard at a programme for the Musical Evening which is such an enjoyable feature of the Day, but what with talent being withdrawn from Chefoo, and much of that left being “ laid up in a napkin,” the task was an impossible one. In the end, selections were given on a “ Victrola,” kindly lent by Dr. Hills. * * * * This has been an Old Boys’ summer. They have been as plentiful as the mosquitoes and far more welcome. One left yesterday, but two have arrived to take his place. It has been delightful to meet old friends once more, with their inevitable “ Do you remember---? ” * * * * We played cricket together, for, in an irresponsible moment...”

(2) An ancient and pompous old gentleman who, though a nonstriker, yet strikes an onlooker as not being addicted to overwork. (3) An institution which gives the Boys their first experience in the Laws of Mortgage. (4) A giddy height! The goal of all Chefooites.

“...(8) An annual and shocking event! eagerly anticipated, yet shrunk from. (9) A frequent ceremony, highly personal and conducted in the spirit of severe criticism. The answers, which will appear in the next issue, are institutions, persons or pilaces connected with Chefoo. LULU CLARKE. HE more one feels a sorrow, the harder it is to express it; it is therefore with great difficulty that I now write of the loss of my dear friend, one of the fairest blossoms of the Chefoo Schools’ Association. It was on the evening of Sunday, May 12th, at the age of twenty -three, that Lulu fell asleep in Jesus. Her life, though short, had been one of great physical struggle, for from childhood her health was extremely delicate. After leaving School, she entered the Glasgow University as an under-graduate for the degree of B.Sc. and despite the handicap of Doctor’s orders and frail physique, she worked well and perseveringly, passing her Final Chemistry Examination in April, leaving but one other subject, that...”

“...A HOLIDAY IN CHEFOO. OES not my title cause a thrill to run through my readers scattered over the globe, and raise pangs of envy in the breast of every true Chefooite ! To me a trip to the beloved spot does not seem merely a holiday, though it is one in every sense of the word, but partakes somewhat of a pilgrimage as well. Having just returned from a three weeks’ pilgrimage (!) it occurred to me that fellow members might like to know how the dear old place is looking and whether it has managed to survive the shock of our leaving ! It has survived ! There are a few changes to be noted. If one enters harbour in the dark a new and powerful light on Lighthouse Island attracts attention, also a new Signal Station on the top of Settlement Hill, which beams with a white radiance on steamers conducting themselves on right lines, but which glowers redly on any unfortunate vessel which leaves the path of rectitude and safety. On arriving in the harbour and landing, shall we say, in “ Hokee’s ”*...”

“...many I have not heard from for years. To-day an opportunity turned up which I have been looking for, for many months, one in which I am able to ascertain whether my friends have changed location or not, so that I can send another plugger, endeavouring to get at least a card from them. 1 have just written twenty or so postcards, some of which are to be carried in the many directions of the compass; whether this seed is sown so that I may reap a good harvest, time will tell. I have not seen an old Chefoo member for over a year. We folks here in America are apparently too widely scattered. Some day we may be able to get together, but when, that will be more than 1 can say. We shall try, however. I have an idea which might be workable. Seeing that each of us 24...”

“...the best little girl in the world, that will in no wise hinder my course, but rather be an inspiration. Just what I shall do later will be still to decide. My brothers and sisters are all well and happy, and some day Chefoo may see some of them again. There is one thing I would like to enquire about before I close. Have you any more badges ? If so, could you send me one to Yorktown Heights, N.Y., and I will remit the money, or let me know if you have them and I will be only too glad to remit the money first. I think every member of the C.S.A. should feel the obligation of supporting the Association by purchasing a badge and also wear it where possible. I shall, if I can get one. Now I must close, but not before I enclose my heartiest congratulations to the officers of the Chefoo Schools’ Association for the big success the work is growing into, and assure them of my hearty co-operation where possible. Very sincerely, Wm. M. Cornwell. 24, Molesworth Street, Kew, Melbourne, August 9th, 1912...”
