“...Cbefoo- DESIGNED WITH A VIEW TO INCREASE OUR MEMBERSHIP. Editorial. Members 280 Always increasing. Hon. Members- 50 Total 330 JOIN THE MAJORITY. Non-Members 184 Always decreasing. HESE figures speak for themselves. They show that the greater number of old Chefoo Boys and Girls realize the many advantages gained by joining the Chefoo Schools’ Association. Advantages which do not begin and end with the receipt of a Magazine, although we hope that this alone is some inducement, yet we must grasp the fact that the Magazine is only a means to an end and that end : Unity, Loyalty and Duty. The Chefoo Schools’ Association was formed just five years ago, and had for its aim, First—Unity or the bringing together of all Boys and Girls, who had once the privilege of passing through these Schools, into one good fellowship to be fostered whenever possible by social gatherings, or failing this, to keep the individual members in touch...”

“...was evidently touched by Mr. Stooke’s references to the Old Boys and their loving gratitude. His remarks though short, were very appropriate. Three cheers rising in volume as they were given signified the boys’ approval of Mr. Murray’s acceptance of the Shield. The musical programme was then continued, the proceedings being closed by Bishop Iliff’s pronouncing of the benediction. A. F. T. SPEECHES DELIVERED AT THE PRESENTATION OF THE NEW CHALLENGE SHIELD (Kindly taken down by Me. A. Rouse op Chefoo.) Mr. J. HOWARD STOOKE. Mr. Murray, Ladies and Gentlemen, I am well aware that there are few things more unpopular at a Musical Evening than speech-making, but if you will be patient with me while I try to say a few words on behalf of the Old Boys of this School, I, on my part, shall promise not to offend in this way again for the next 20 years. It was about eleven years ago that a few of us conceived the idea of finding out the Old Boys and suggesting that we acquire a Challenge Shield which...”

“...expression. Let me now call upon the present generation of boys, and the future generation as presented by the Prepites (who are here by special arrangement this evening) to give three hearty cheers for the Old Boys in general and Mr. Stooke in particular. THE SECOND REUNION AT CHEFOO. N the evening of the 25th of July, the “Old Chefooites ” in Chefoo, at the kind invitation of Dr. and Mrs. Pruitt, gathered at their residence for the second Chefoo Reunion. We began the evening’s programme by singing Rounds ; amongst which were such old favourites as “ Chairs to mend,” “ White sand and grey sand,” etc. After the Rounds we had the time-honoured game of “ Clumps.” Mr. Murray and Mr. Alty tossed up in regular old Chefoo style, and chose the sides. When the various obscure objects chosen by those who went “ out,” had been discovered, we turned from those arduous mental labours to enjoy a very good musical programme. Amongst the “ Old Girls ” (! !) and “ Boys ” Miss May Corbett, Miss Tomkinson...”

“...rumoured, chocolates were the reward of the bold climbers. Lunch was served in a large tent in the meadow. After clearing all the good things provided, and finishing with strawberries and cream, a game of tip and run cricket took up a greater part of the afternoon. At about 4.30 we were again summoned to the tent for tea and more strawberries and cream. When evening drew on and our day was nearly over, we all assembled on the lawn, there to offer to the Great Giver, our tribute of praise for Chefoo Associations, old friends, and present joys. Mr. McCarthy spoke to us of his and Mrs. McCarthy’s pleasure of meeting so many old scholars, and their delight in hearing of successes gained in our various paths of life. Some however, only a few, had gone under, some had not won through. Mr. McCarthy urged upon each of us our responsibility towards these of our school fellows to whom his heart went out so much. Mr. Polhill followed by calling our attention to the great World Harvest Field, and pleaded...”

“...A CHEFOO AVIATOR. QUIET trip on a calm day. This is what my aviator friend had promised me. No stunts, no rising to great altitudes and no volplaning back to earth. With these assurances I was persuaded to make a journey with a well-known pilot of the air in the second last week of the month of May. We flew for an hour and a half, covering some eighty miles, going at the rate of nearly sixty miles an hour and rising in one instance to an altitude of 1,800 feet. Most of the time however, we rode but 400-500 feet over the green meadows and sweeping downs that so charmingly speak of the Southern counties. But a moment after stepping into the machine, under the control of my goggled companion, it was suddenly transported way up in the heavens and I was led to wonder how we got there in so short a time. With no feeling of sickness or nervousness I beheld the earth running away from us, but when we commenced to get up steam, and at times rock as in a tempest, I must confess to having experienced...”

'HIS contest which bids fair to become annual, took place this year on the School Ground on the evenings of the 8th, 9th and 10th of July. It was a very pleasant match and the fortunes of war were this year reversed, the Past being thoroughly beaten. The School XI for 1913 is one of the best that has ever taken the field, and in their Captain, Rowley Evans, they have one who in outings or innings is a host in himself. The Old Boys were unfortunate in that two or three of their expected men failed...”

“...such a delightful programme. And so, with thanks to God, Foundation Day was celebrated. * * * * Who does not remember Bamboo Temple and who has not rested under the kindly shade of the bamboo ? I regret to have to announce the decease of the one and only bamboo ever seen in the vicinity. No, it was not an elm. * * * * Chefoo is really going to have a breakwater ! She celebrates her Jubilee as a port open to foreign trade, this year, and the Cinderella of China Ports is to receive attention at the hands of the Authorities. “ Railway,” did you say ? Yes, coming. Why, we had a motor car in the streets the other day ; the Chinese thought it was the first train of the projected Chefoo-Weihsien Railway, and ran from it shrieking ! * * * * You are right, the Old Boys couldn’t play cricket—this year. They managed it last year but this time they were hopelessly out of it. I understand that some difficulty was experienced in raising a team, and if McCarthy had not loitered in Shanghai, and if Robinson...”

“...camp. I went for the first time this year, and I hope it won’t be the last. Most of the time we were over twenty in number. Our hostess was Mrs. Hoare (C.M.S.) of Hong-Kong. She had been to Chefoo like myself, also two lady doctors and a nurse from India and a nurse from Uganda. Three days a week, our morning prayers took the form of a Bible Reading, the alternate days we had short prayers and then study circles, which were held out of doors as the weather was fine. We were always free from 11.30 till 7 o’clock dinner, to do as we liked. After dinner we had talks by these missionaries on their work, or a Bible Reading. It was all so helpful and very interesting. Nearly every morning several of us had a dip in the briny. Alas for the others ! they had not had the privilege of learning to swim at Chefoo. Some came down to watch the fun, and incidentally to be useful as tent pegs. We had to put up our own tent whenever we bathed. Some days the wind was very high, which, perhaps, was the cause...”

“...fortunate enough to win this year. I am certainly delighted to be the possessor of that which shall always be to me a reminder of Chefoo and more especially of the Girls’ School, where I have already spent six years, and expect to remain another twelve months. Again thanking you, I remain, Yours sincerely, Dorothea Foucar. Yorktown Heights, N.Y. July 27 th, 1913. Dear Randle, I suppose that you are wondering why you do not hear from me. Really there isn’t much excuse on my part, if any. Everything has gone kind of slow this vacation, except work. I did not care to write until I had more material, but that does not seem to come so here goes any way. 1 am enclosing three application blanks which have been filled out, only wish I had more. Now for a few changes in address at present or to be : Helen Elterich—going to Chejoo this fall ; Louise Corbett, going to return to Chefoo with her mother, on account of sickness she was out of school for some time. Is in Canada with her mother at present. Henry...”

“...John, oh he is bright enough, so much so that we have to call him “ Professor.” He is my uncle’s right hand man here on the Farm. I have been here for a month and have another month to spend before starting for College. I only wish all my Chefoo friends were near enough to drop in and see what a good farm is. We get almost 200 eggs a day, have all the fresh fruit we want, apples, pears, peaches, plums, strawberries, cherries, blackberries, and wineberries (not to make wine from though). Now doesn’t your mouth water ? I expect a good many mouths would water if they read all these names. I must not forget the water melons, some one may like them. I suppose all the Chefooites are very much interested in the accounts of the “ doings ” in China just at present. It seems as if she needs some of us to help her to quiet down. The June copies of the Magazine arrived and have been distributed. It is certainly a well formed Magazine and all Chefooites should be proud of it. I believe it is getting...”
