“...present at this Reunion, bore witness to the truth of this assertion.
Mr. McCarthy rose amidst murmurs of subdued applause and commenced by stating that he had been impressed, whilst looking round on the assembled company, with a fact which he felt must have escaped the notice of many present, namely, “ That this company represents 27 years of the School’s existence, Mr. Silverthorne having entered the School in 1884.” He was proud to think that the Schools had such a good name, and felt that this was because the foundations of the Schools had been “well and truly laid.” Masters of bygone days had laid those foundations under God, some had given their

“...lives, the memories of Messrs, Elliston and Norris are sacred among us to-day, we are reaping the benefits of their labours. In closing, he made mention of the splendid work Mr. H. Stooke is doing among the boys of the present generation, of the influence he has over them, and stated how glad he was for this. Following the speeches, Mr. Lea conducted evening worship, after which light refreshments were served, and we separated each richer in memory and prouder of our Schools and Teachers.

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...”

“...front of McMullan’s (Who can now say Chefoo slumbers ?).
As we rattle along the road (macadamized, if you please, though perchance Macadam, were he alive, might feel hurt at this term) and draw near to the west entrance ; occupant of No. 1 rickshaw shouts “ Why, the field has grown ! ” and so it has, and while the first game is played with great dignity on the east side, there is yet room for the Homeric struggles of the fourth and fifth elevens which compose the second game.
The grounds of the Schools and Compounds generally are much improved by the judicious planting of shade trees and flower beds, while the Boys’ School has lost something of its brand new and surprised look, by the growing of a creeper over its north face.
Of the old school not much remains; the west wing makes a very cosy home for our friends, Mr. and Mrs. Murray, and their flowers, fruit trees and vines grow over the ancient site of the schoolroom, etc.
The “ Big Dormitory ” is now the Compound Chapel, and on the site...”

“...inspiration, was attendance at the service in the Boys’ Schoolroom on Sunday morning. As I sat at the back of the room and saw the fresh and glowing young faces listening intently to a bright and earnest address, one’s thoughts were sobered in thinking of the possibilities bound up in the lives gathered together, and grateful praise ascended to the Throne above for the services of self-sacrificing and devoted Teachers, past and present, and for the wholesome and uplifting atmosphere of our beloved Schools.

A DAY ROUND THE DEFENCES OF PORT ARTHUR.
*T was owing to a fortunate chance of having a defective stern gland that gave us the opportunity while in Wei Hai Wei of paying a visit to Port Arthur, in order to repair the defect.
It was during the brief stay there that we were enabled to visit the defences and battlefields of Port Arthur, by the kind, courtesy of the Japanese Admiral.
Our Ship’s Company were divided into two portions,
“ and were allotted one day to each portion.

“...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.

Dear Mr. Editor,
Is it permitted to a person to write, even when they have really nothing of much importance to write about ?
You will be having your Aylesbury Reunion this month perhaps, and it would be so very nice to join you all, and help with the reminiscing. But I can’t, you see, and...”
