“...has prevented us from using other designs and several good photographs which were also included. For the same reason we are obliged to omit one or two interesting articles. Those who are in arrear with their subscriptions please note. Our roll of honour, which was published for the first time in the February number, has grown very rapidly and cannot now be very far short of sixty. We hope to add all available names up to the time of going to press. It is a source of pride to all connected with Chefoo that such a high percentage of Old Boys are serving with the colours. We have decided for the present to omit the page of our magazine known as the Editor’s Corner, in order to use this space for contributions, which might otherwise have to be omitted....”

“...nursing and her companion will, one day, grace the teaching profession. We welcome both into our midst, and hope that others will follow their example. Travelling to the north-west on several occasions I had the pleasure of meeting Willie Bagnall and George Miller in Winnipeg. George, since graduating from Manitoba College, has found his way back to old Cathay, and is now engaged in educational work among the Chinese. Pleasant indeed were our chats together, and many adventures did we recall of Chefoo days, whilst the three of us sat in a high-class cafe imbibing cups of some invigorating beverage. William Kingsbury Bagnall, otherwise “ Bags,” has been President of a Real Estate firm for several years. The little slim fellow who used to sprint down that 100 yards track like “greased lightning” has developed into a very keen and energetic business man, and is everlastingly scheming some gigantic financial enterprise. Eric Carrol is also in business in Winnipeg, but I failed each time to track...”

“...welcomed us to her new home. Mrs. McMillan, formerly Miss Robson of the C.I.M., has always been a warm friend of the Chefoo Schools. We have pleasant recollections of a very happy party held at her comfortable home in early spring. Mr. and Mrs. Naftel, at whose house the first reunion was held, have bought up a large ranch in the suburbs of the city. We all live in expectation of a grand reunion to be celebrated there in the Fall, that will even surpass the fete-champetre on ye anciente Bedford Estates in Merrie England ! Mrs. Naftel, better known to old Chefooites as Kathie Fishe, is the proud mother of two of the sweetest little girls that ever blossomed in a nursery. Her brother Hamilton left us some months ago to fill a good position at the famous Battle Creek Sanitorium, Michigan, U.S.A. We wish him all kinds of success and hope that Cupid’s dart may soon find his heart! CHEFOO CANADIAN CONTINGENT. Paul Goforth, Captain, 1st Contingent.

“...Championship ! A pleasant trip of two or three hours, in a stiff breeze, carried us across the Lake to the historic little town of Niagara, where, having disembarked and marched into camp, we were vociferously received by the Montreal Contingent already arrived. “ Cook-house,” the best known, and only call where injunctions as to a “ little pep ” were not required, was sounded soon after our arrival by bugler Billie of the 48th Highlanders, when we “ fell to ” on grub which somehow reminded one of Chefoo, with the one and only thought of “ each man for himself.” Toronto—swung down University It was with unusual pleasure that been kicked into a corner on the for the prospect this summer was The enjoyment of camp life naturally depends to a great extent upon the weather, and some of us found our military ardour considerably cooled by the heavy showers that descended the first few days. “ Sounds of revelry,” prolonged far into the first night, prohibited us from falling into the arms of Morpheus...”

“...Toronto and McGill, there was naturally much keen rivalry, and many exciting contests. In baseball, football, and shooting we upheld the unbeaten records of Toronto, the signallers of course being the crack corps in shooting, and also doing our share by taking the cake from the McGill signallers, winning the competition by 1,000 out of 6,000 points. In boxing and wrestling, honours were evenly shared, whilst it would be impossible to deny that they dusted our pants for us in the Track Meet, our Chefoo competitor, Arthur Parry, being unable to perform. This keen rivalry did not spoil our comradeship, however, for on the day before we parted we engaged in a friendly sham battle, 35...”

“...* -i- The UNIVERSITY/TORONTO -5- T is with no ordinary pleasure that I comply with our good Secretary’s request and sit down to give a short account of my Alma Mater. The University of Toronto has, in the past, seen quite a number of Chefoo boys within its walls, and I am certain that in the future more still will be found there. There is not space, and indeed I have not time to enter into the interesting, though not ancient history of the University, from the time in 1827 when a Royal Charter was granted to King’s College, up to the present. Suffice it to say that many changes and additions have been made since that day, and also some misfortunes have been passed through, particularly when the East Wing of University College, and the whole Library Building were destroyed by fire. Despite this and other tribulations particularly of a political nature, the growth of the University has kept well up with the needs of the hour, and at present Ontario has as her representative State University...”

“...collection of apparatus, even exceeding the Cavendish laboratory at Cambridge. A great part of it is of particular interest, as being the original collection of acoustical apparatus constructed by the great German physicist Rudolph Konig and exhibited by him at the World’s Fair, where it was bought by the Governors of the University of Toronto. Much might be said of every department, and of the professors, but space is limited, and they must be passed over. If I could say a word that would convey to Chefoo boys and girls who are looking about for opportunity after leaving the Schools, an adequate idea of what this University offers, I should be very glad. This I know, that all are welcome, and here in this democratic University will be found a field for men and women of every inclination where thorough training may be got under conditions which it only takes a short experience to appreciate.

“...TORONTO CNE.FOO r REUNION ■JANUARY 9-1915- . |> PRONTO, CANADA.^ CH EFOO Reunion in Canada has only very recently been an accomplished fact, chiefly because of there being so few Chefooites in one place, and the great distances separating those who are here. In Toronto we have now a small Chefoo community growing up, and with the increase in numbers there has been a corresponding decrease in the time between Reunions. Invitations for our Third Chefoo Reunion were issued by Mr. and Mrs. Helmer of the C.I.M. Home for Saturday, January 9th, at 2 p.m. Accordingly we all gathered at the above-mentioned place determined to have the best time we had ever experienced at a Chefoo Reunion. First there was a discussion as to whether or not we should go ice-boating, but this being voted too cold a sport, we decided on skating. In the meantime, Mr. Helmer had “ loaded ” his camera, and we were all “ taken ”—not prisoners, however ! We set out for the rink, connected with the Broadview Branch of the...”

“...No. 15 Platoon, “ D ” Company, 4th Batt. Gordon Highlanders (T.F.), British Expeditionary Force, 23rd May, 1915. The Editor, “ Chefoo ” Magazine. Dear Mr. Editor, I thought it might interest your readers to hear from one of the many “ Old Boys ” serving with the British Expeditionary Force. Prior to coming across here, we were, for the most part, training in Bedford, near which is Howbury Hall, the scene of many Chefoo Reunions. We came to Bedford about the middle of August, and fairly livened up what otherwise, no doubt, is a sleepy town. To have twenty thousand Highlanders of all descriptions thrust upon them at once must have been a dreadful thing for the inhabitants, especially when some old ladies thought we were only partially civilized I However, between the middle of August and the middle of April, when the Highland Division, as a unit, left Bedford, they got to think more of us and our fellow countrymen. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Bedford, and were all very grateful...”

With every good wish, Yours sincerely, George K. Saunders. 1st, 2nd Monmouth Regiment. 12th Brigade, 4th Division. March 13th, 1915. Dear Randle, Thanks very much for your receipt for sub. I had forgotten my past delinquencies, and now take an opportunity of making up for them. I have been reading Stanley Polhill’s letters in the “ Chefoo ” Magazine with great interest. He must have had a wonderful experience, despatch riding for G.H.O. He is, I see, attached to the 2nd Army. I have not seen him out here ; but I don’t expect he would come much to battalion headquarters. But we are both in the 2nd Army, so we may meet somewhere. I have been with this battalion in the trenches since the 4th December. Before that I was in a Field Ambulance, and for the first three months of the war was at a base hospital, doing a tour of central...”
