“...Mr. Douglas Polhill. Progress of Association in 1913 has been splendid; 1914 must be better. Hearty co-operation of members will ensure this. Best wishes for to-night.” Although Mr. and Mrs. McCarthy were much missed from this reunion, all present were glad of the opportunity of welcoming the Rev. and Mrs. H. A. H. Lea, who returned to England on furlough last August. Mr. Lea is one of the best helpers and warmest supporters of the C.S.A. and has won for himself a place in the hearts of all at Chefoo....”

“...includes the numerous masters and mistresses from Chefoo present, as they are all counted “ one of us ”—spent on January 7th last. “ The most enjoyable and successful ever held,” was the verdict overheard by the writer of this article. Various little groups arrived at different times to lose themselves amongst that happy-faced throng already shaking hands with old friends, or busy making new ones—“ I am So-and-so at Chefoo, 18-to 19-.” “ Before my time ! However, delighted to make your acquaintance,”—until nearly all had arrived, Mr. Marcus Wood then asked Mr. Stevenson to return thanks, after which we “ set to ” with right goodwill—trite phrase—on the many good things provided. After the rattle of cups and dishes had subsided and we had composed ourselves, the programme, which was so ably arranged by Miss Edith Coulthard, started with “ The Chefoo Hymn ”—by the way, this ought to be learned by all, so as to more nearly resemble Chefoo and its heartiness—followed by Mr. Sharp, who (on behalf...”

“...Included in the programme were items we could all join in rendering, “ Chairs to Mend,” “ London’s Burning,” and other rounds, as well as games. To have heard us would certainly have given the impression that we were back at Chefoo—plenty of sound with not too much thought for the music. The games were organized by Dr. Robert Parry—our heartiest congratulations to you, Bob, now you-are a full-fledged medico—and also to Dr. Cecil Wilson, who put in an appearance, though somewhat belated. “ Patients,” was the sotto voce explanation. Before we separated the Rev. H. A. H. Lea gave us a New Year’s Message. He took as his text Isaiah xxxi. 20. He said that he had written “ Chefoo ” against this text, as our Alma Mater was blessed in that her sons were sowing beside all waters ; her children were scattered wide over the earth. What a power for good our Association (of which he was a proud member, even if he had only joined in the last ten minutes) could be to those with whom we came in contact...”

“...half-holiday was granted on October 10th, in celebration of the triple events of the anniversary of the establishment of the Republic, the election of Yuan-shih-kai to the Presidency, and the recognition of China by the Foreign Powers, What matter if the Lower Second had but the foggiest of ideas why they were scouting instead of schooling ? They enjoyed themselves, and that’s what mattered. * * * * On October 15th, Jack Corbett was married at Shanghai to Miss Kenny. The happy pair came on to Chefoo to receive the felicitations of their many friends, before going to their home at Chang-sha. * * * * We were glad to see Tom Kay, who is on H.M.S. Welland, now in China waters. * * * * It was with great regret that we heard of Arthur Taylor’s death at Shanghai, on September 16th. His mother seems to have had sorrow upon sorrow. * * * * The two who left school at the end of the previous term and whose movements were uncertain have now started in.

“...® gTtrrffff A CHEFOOITE’S TRAVELS IN ITALY AND SWITZERLAND. T may be of some interest to readers of the Chefoo Magazine to hear of the travels of an old Chefooite ; especially as I see the last number of that excellent periodical contains an article on the advantages of foreign travel. For any old Chefooites who may be thinking of taking a trip abroad, I should like to recommend a book published by the Teachers’ Guild of Great Britain and Ireland, 74, Gower Street, London, W.C. The book’s title is : “ Holiday Resorts and Recommended Addresses at Home and Abroad.” My own travels began last December, when my sister and I left England for the Riviera, and settled into a small furnished flat near San Remo. We left London in all the gloom and damp cold of English winter, we arrived on the shores of the Mediterranean in brilliant sunshine, with flowers blooming everywhere, and such a wealth of colour as is only seen in the south. Our destination was a small place, near San Remo, called Ospedaletti...”

“...places in the Rhone Valley; spent a week at Argentines, near Chamonix; another week near Zermatt; and finally finished our Swiss travels on the Lake of Geneva. We stayed at Baugy, above Clarens; and as we were not far from Lausanne, I had the pleasure of seeing Miss Knight and Miss Ellis one day, at their charming house “ La Majolaine.” I had not seen Miss Ellis since Chefoo days, and was doubtful whether she would recognize me again, but she said she would have known my face in spite of the many years that have passed since then. We were soon deep in reminiscences of those happy bygone years in the old girls’ school at Chefoo, which we, of that time, still cherish in our hearts, although the building is no more. I am afraid the Editor will be dismayed at the length of this article, but as it was only written at the urgent request of another old Chefooite, whose name I dare not disclose for fear of consequences to myself, 1 trust the length will be forgiven. 1 hope this account of my travels...”

“...Sc 0 ; rHrrcf ~ { v TORONTO REUNION. T last! The first Chefoo • place, and forthwith passes Association. Early in November, invitations were circulated by Mr. and Mrs. H. J. D. Naftel (nee Miss Fishe), to a Chefoo reunion on Saturday afternoon, November 15th, at their home at 70, Baker Avenue. As the invitations announced _________ a photograph at 2.30 p.m., all Chefooites in Toronto, and three members of the Association from Hamilton, were there promptly and posed for the camera shortly after the appointed hour. Photographs over, the happy crowd started for a walk to Reservoir Park. Here the ladies entered the hothouses to view the beautiful flowers, while most of the gentlemen wandered about the Park, delivering themselves of sundry college cheers and yells. (The ’varsity men were somewhat on edge that afternoon, on account of the great Rugby match between McGill University of Montreal and the University of Toronto then in progress at the Stadium.) After circling around the placid waters...”

“...foaming breakers crash, And high above the cliffs their white spray splash. “ Some drops at least shall reach the clouds,” they cry : Not one ! They fall with a low moaning sigh. But yet again the winds to fury lash The high-aspiring, seething, restless waves : Until we think, “ Is this that same calm sea, That on a soft spring day the grey rock laves With gentle murmuring?” Yes, this change makes he, When Neptune stern uplifts his weedy locks, And tosses them against the still firm rocks.

“...Jan. {3th, 1914. Dear Mr. Editor, This is just a note of appreciation from Glasgow for the sustained excellence of the Magazine. The “ Special Number ” should prove an irresistible argument to any who have so far denied themselves the pleasure of being members of the C.S.A. The accounts of Foundation Day, Presentation Day, Cricket Matches and Athletic Sports make one’s mouth water for summer in old Chefoo. If only Cooks would waken up and give us a popular month’s excursion to Chefoo and back—say for a £10 note—how many of us would hurry to the booking office. I suggest that Hunnex, our foremost aviator (or at least our first), should get busy and arrange this. Compared with the lively doings at the School, Glasgow has not much of interest to report. Our representation of Chefuscians is still growing ; some comparatively recent additions being Beaufort, Hardman, Reggie Squire and Theodore Anderson: the last two named are pegging away under the spell of Engineering, an infatuation so in...”

“...new house in Kelvinside. May I add, for the benefit of any new-comers or old-stagers, that our hearth here has always a warm corner for any one hailing from Chefoo, and we try to keep enough provender for a few extra—especially on Sundays. Do come I Ever yours, Harold E. Judd. 73, Sunnyside Road, Aberdeen, Dec. 20th, 1913. Dear Mr. Editor, It seems customary to accompany donations and subscriptions to the Chefoo Magazine with more or less favourable character sketches of all poor people within striking distance ; so I hereby take my life in my hands, and defy the laws of libel, as hereunder. Contrary to the kind expectations of Willie Cornwall, no one here has as yet decided to get married, though we are hoping to hear the news any day that George Saunders—but that is quite another matter. We have kept true here to the good old Chefoo matrimonial traditions, even to the extent of sitting on opposite sides of the room at Reunions and talking shop. By the way, there seems to be some difficulty...”

“...are a few facts about the American contingent of the C.S.A. I cannot add any more as I do not hear from the folks. Just after Christmas I had the privilege of calling on Ed. N. Chalfant at his office in New York city. It was certainly a great opportunity to meet one of my old schoolmates. We had not seen each other for years, and I expect to each other we had changed quite considerably. For the sake of his friends, I will say that Ned looks the same, but is somewhat taller than he used to be in Chefoo. He is a wonderful business man now, however, being with the John J. Mitchell Co. of New York, who put out one of the best fashion plate magazines in the country. Ned is in the Advertising Department, and I noticed that he had an unusual number of pretty young ladies near at hand. Scott Corbett was in to call on Chalfant the same day, but we did not happen to meet. I learned from Chalfant that Scott Corbett was on his way to call on P. C. Bergen at New Haven. Jan. Baird has been an assistant...”

“...'ft of the startling successes of the boys and girls in Chefoo. In particular, the scintillating star of Theodore Wilder has caught our gaze, and we are held spellbound in admiration. It is the object of this communication to express our heartiest congratulations to him who has brought such honour to his school and to himself. Furthermore, we welcome him to this country, though we can but realize what the loss of such a one will be to his Alma Mater and to Oxford. If I remember correctly. Wilder entered Chefoo in 1909. He was put in the third form, but finding that somewhat of a bore he was transferred to the fourth. At the end of that year hereceived-theTmprovement-prize, and Third Class Honours in the Preliminary Examinations. Then he made the cricket and football teams and featured in most of the important games. While not a brilliant player, he was always one of the steadiest men in the line-up. A prize, moreover, occasionally fell to his lot on Field Days, as will be recalled when...”

“...to make enquiries re the receiving of my beloved companion —the Chefoo Magazine. On my departure from old London, I made straight for New York, and have since travelled extensively in this enterprising country, Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Hamilton and Toronto in Canada; Chicago, Kansas City, Denver, Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Salt Lake City, Sacremento, Oakland and ’ Frisco are some of the places I have visited; and finally I have decided to settle down for at least a year in Los Angeles, an ideal place for climate and for putting away the “ tsien.” I wrote Parry to send me the Magazine, and as he has not replied, probably on account of changed address and my letter not reaching him. I beseech of you now to forward me copies of the last two issues, and put me in touch with the Secretary for America. Please also have my address in the yearly list changed to above. Hoping to hear from you soon, and with best wishes to all old Chefoo friends, Tony Hunnex. London, December, 1913. Dear Mr. Editor,...”

“...written by T. A. Hunnex, and A. A. Hunnex left London for America and California. Why not just print “ Tony ” Hunnex in every instance ?—that is if he does not object. On letters and in business, of course, he probably has to be addressed A. A. Hunnex and not T. A. Hunnex, as Tony is only short. I could sit down and write lots more, but best not, and I hope Mr. Editor, when I tell you that this is my first offence, you will forgive this bit of girls’ school cheek. Yours very sincerely, An Old Chefoo Girl. OXFORD LOCAL EXAMINATION RESULTS, 1913. All records have gone by the board !

Welland of the China Squadron, sends an interesting photo of a boat’s crew in which he figures, which won the Chefoo Cup, so called because it was presented by the residents. We are unable to publish this, and many others, owing to the cost of reproduction. * * * * From Melbourne, Australia, comes the news that Mark Southey has finished his medical course and takes out his degrees of M.B., B.Sc.

“...THE EDITOR IN THE SPIRIT — Gbe Editor's Corner. In answer to “ An Old Chefoo Girl,” whose letter appears in Correspondence, we are of the same mind with regard to this section of the Magazine; but, from an editorial standpoint, we think this lies entirely with the correspondents. The second suggestion is also very good, and we will endeavour in the near future to fulfil this wish. We refer our fair questioner to Vol. 5, No. 2, ‘‘ News of the Term,” where Mr. Alty is congratulated on the birth of a daughter. We have every reason to believe that T. A. and A. A. Hunnex are one and the same person, viz., Tony; but as a telephone call to California is beyond our feeble purse .... We notice a suggestion by ‘‘The Chiel ” in his interesting ‘‘News of the Term” for a Schools’ Chapel, and consider this a grand idea. Now how many Old Girls and Boys will undertake to supply a “ brick ” (viz. a sovereign) for this edifice; there are few who could not do so if they would, and we believe they will, either...”
