“...they would return them, as so many have applied for a copy to make up their sets. Or, if the Hon. Secs, in Canada, China, or Australia have any copies to spare would they kindly return them to the Editor? The notice of the War Memorial Fund will call out a good response from Old Chefooites here, and there should be a long list of subscribers next issue. There are many more members that might send in an article for the Magazine. One of the great objects the Editor has in view in connection with “Chefoo” is to increase the number of contributors as well as subscribers. G. (McCarthy) Scott Challice.

“...52 CHEFOO. War (Demorial Sund. The following letter signed by George Rendall and Ernie Hardman is sufficient explanation of the purpose of the above fund. It only remains to add a few details. Old Chefooites and their parents, and any who are interested in or have been connected with the Schools are invited to help. It is a purely Chefoo Memorial, organised by Old Chefooites in memory of those of their School-fellows who laid down their lives for liberty. It has been suggested that we should make an urgent appeal for funds for this Memorial Hall, but this should hardly be necessary for such a purpose. To keep alive, in the place they loved, the memory of those who gave to the uttermost, to show to succeeding generations of Chefooites that the Schools were not behindhand when the call came for courage, sacrifice, or suffering, will surely appeal strongly enough to those of us who were at Chefoo. That there is need of such a Hall is clear, and it seems fitting that it should be erected mainly...”

“...CHEFOO. 53 A Fund has already been started, of which Mr. Arthur Taylor of the Boys’ School is the Treasurer. If, however, any of the Old Girls and Boys would like to contribute we shall be glad to receive donations and place them in the Chefoo Assembly Hall Account, receipts being issued by Mr. Taylor. Amounts, no matter how small, will be very welcome. George H. Rendall, c/o Public Works Department, Municipal Council. Ernest F. Hardman, c/o Messrs. Lowe, Bingham & Matthews.

“...54 CHEFOO. Parsee (P. Hollander) if possible procures pleasant passages, and Tony (Hunnex) tenders topping tips to travellers. The journey across the Pacific has become commonplace in these days, even for those who were not raised” in the U.S. or Canada. Fourteen days of long ocean roll, without sight of land, is considered a big voyage. People may get to know each other intimately on such a trip. Those who are not well, are considerately though patronisingly treated by the ‘good sailors,” who usually see their patients fully recovered and enjoying life and their meals, in defiance of Neptune, in from three to five days. It is remarkable how birds will follow a ship for the whole way across the ocean, resting apparently only at intervals upon the waves. Whales may be seen too if you are fortunate. Another interesting phenomenon is the wedging of an extra day into the calender on the 180th meridian, when travelling from west to east; and the fact that clocks are advanced half-an-hour every...”

“...CHEFOO. 55 Vancouver to Montreal, and get off the train at some point of interest, joining a later train to the next point, and so on. Travelling in the Tourist” cars is cheaper than ‘Standard” cars, if you arrange your trip beforehand, and buy your sleeping accommodation from point to point. Also take a lunch-basket, fully equipped; as a cooking-range and scullery are provided for your use on the car. Berth and hotel reservations can be made ahead by telegram at very cheap rates. In this way the following places should be visited for at least one day:—Victoria, B.C. ; Lake Louise and Banff, both in the Canadian National Park in the Rockies; Winnipeg; Toronto and Niagara. A steamer-trip through the Great Lakes may be taken if desired, instead of the railway journey to the north, at no extra cost. Niagara Falls may be seen in one day from Toronto, and is included free in the C. P.R. ticket. The steamer route across the Lake and up the river on the American side should be taken. The whole...”

“...56 CHEFOO. We recommend, if possible, booking straight through from Shanghai to England by the Canadian Pacific Company (All-British route) for which passports are more easily obtained than when America is entered. Passage across the Atlantic should be reserved ahead from Shanghai. If possible secure an outside cabin. Sleeping on deck is pleasant during a summer journey, therefore take a deck-chair with a foot rest attached, or a camp-bed. Take a special basket with tea things and food, including soda biscuits. This basket will be found very useful when crossing Canada. Also a Thermos bottle is a convenience. Maps and descriptions of places of interest should be secured in advance from Cook’s and a pair of field-glasses and a camera will be a source of great pleasure all the way. Also bring a pair of dark glasses, sufficient books to read, and music for performing at ship’s soirees. Don’t forget a sweater, an extra rug and overcoat for the cold regions. Finally, do not neglect to take with...”

“...CHEFOO. 57 Belleville at Christmas time, where he contributed largely to the hilarity of the season’s festivities. Frances Smith graduated in stenography from a local business college. She now has a good position in town. Harold Marshall is with the Chicago branch of the William Davies Co. Willie Windsor has gone out West for his vacation. He has charge of a Mission field near Kincaid, Sask., under the Presbyterian Board. Joyce is spending her few months’ vacation from the Bible College as a stenographer with the Dunlop Rubber Co. here. Joyce is engaged, I understand, though I am afraid I do not know any of the details of the case. Fred Dreyer negotiated his exams at University of Toronto safely. He goes out every evening to practise with the Varsity Rowing Crews. Willie Ririe is out at Whitby, Ont., studying surveying witfy his uncle. Harold is with the Western Assurance Co., Toronto, and Mary Ririe is nursing here. Stanley Olsen has a good post with the Harris Abattoir Co. Alfred is with...”

“...58 CHEFOO. At one table you had to caricature some person present, and at others, illustrate newspaper jokes, cut and paste two different advertisements to make a ridiculous effect, decorate cardboard plates with coloured chalks, camouflage peanuts in doll's clothes, split up CHEFUSCIAN into as many different words as possible, (total reached 36), and write an eight line poem on Chefoo to a tune! This last reminded some of an examination room, but the verses when read out caused great amusement. After ice cream and cake had been passed round, a popular vote was taken, and Eva Anderson and W. G. Windsor were announced winners of most points in the contests. Mrs. Helmer then presented each with a prize—Eva with a basket containing a little sachet for each girl present, and W. G. with a cash box (being Treasurer of our branch) containing a chocolate plum pudding for each boy. The evening was then closed with carol singing. Mr. Arthur Parry expressed the appreciation of all present for the...”

“...CHEFOO. 59 His was a radiant life, so that to know Charlie was to love him, and his loss is very keenly felt not only in his home circle, but also in Canada, the land of his adoption and affection. We rejoice that after his strenuous four and a half years with the Forces, he saw the end of the actual fighting, and believed that peace would bless the world; but we rejoice still more that as a true Soldier of Jesus Christ, when the Captain of his Salvation called he was ready for higher promotion.” Shanghai Reunion. The Re-Union of the Chefoo Schools Association—held for the two-fold purpose of renewing old acquaintances and of setting the Shanghai Branch of the Association on a firm basis again (its organisation had relapsed somewhat through the exigencies of the war)—was held in the Union Church Hall last evening. There was a capital attendance, though not as many as were expected were present. The gathering, however, was representative of the many years that the Schools at Chefoo have...”

“...6o CHEFOO. The business side of the meeting having terminated, the gathering again proceeded to the lighter side of the programme. The singing of the old School rounds, games, and the rendering of musical items were all wound up with the singing of “Auld Lang Syne.” Jottings from a C.I.GD.I3.5. Journal. 11 When found, make a note of.”—CAPT. CUTTLE. Term opened on 5th Sept., a new batch of Prepites, keen and anxious, occupying the front rows. Mr. Harlow, of the English Baptist Mission, spoke on “The companionship of Jesus.” Mr. Malcolm arranged a most interesting Lecture List, the items being:— Experiences with the Chinese Labour Corps ...........

“...CHEFOO. 6 Term closed on 24th November, H. Burkwall being1 declared “Dux" of the School. The northern and southern parties embarked with the usual rush and excitement, and the quad with all its shouting1 and fun, argument and laughter, becomes strangely quiet for two months. The Spring term opens on 3rd February, IF the parties have returned (what a big “if"), with the addition to the staff of a new master, Mr. H. J. Chalkley, B. A.; Mr. Harris will probably go on furlough. PEPYS JUNIOR. 1886 to 1920. Great Football Match between the “OLD BOYS" and the present School Eleven played at Chefoo on Wednesday, March IOth, in the presence of an unusually large number of spectators. Whether it was the notice in the Chefoo Daily News asking for the attendance of the Port Doctor and Miss Fukami, the local Japanese masseuse, or the very urgent request that long chairs should be placed near to the edge of the field for ambulance purposes, it is impossible to state, but from the very large attendance...”

“...62 CHEFOO. obstructed the pathway of Lack and Coulthard, while McMullan more than held Pote Hunt and Palmer. The manner in which the front line of the “Old Boys” raced down the field brought back vivid memories of the past and made the numerous small boys watching, and, incidentally, jeering when their representatives managed to topple one of the former representatives over, realise what good football exponents the School has always had. At Half Time the “Old Boys” were two up, while the present had nothing in the way of goals to their credit. After a taste of lemons (lemons are only provided on special occasions), the match was resumed. Urged on by the loud cries of the small boys, the School team tried hard to get through, and it must be acknowledged that they experienced hard lines in not doing so. But a slowness in shooting, and again the heroic defence of Malcolm and Lawson with Quelch now in goal, it was impossible to do the essential. Meanwhile T. McCarthy was doing wonders on the...”

“...CHEFOO. 63 Australian Group. The Summer Re=Union. Through the kindness of Mr. Cecil Polhill Old Chefooites in or near London next August Bank Holiday will again have the opportunity of spending the day at Howberry Hall. Those of us who remember the splendid re-unions Mr. Polhill gave us before the war will be very grateful to him for this invitation. As formerly, Mr. Polhill has arranged to pay all expenses, including the railway journey from St. Pancras to Bedford, and the invitation includes those who are or were on the Staffs of the Schools and old Scholars. Cards of invitation will be issued at the end of this month, and must be answered not later than July 10th, as owing to the difficulty just now of making arrangements with the railway company, no provision can be made for any who do not reply by that date. Will those who hope to come send their reply to Miss M. I. Wilson, 43, Fellows Road, London, N.W. 3. Births. On September 24th, 1919, to Mr. and Mrs. Olsen (Mona Molloy), a son...”

“...Yokohama, Japan, Samuel Tali Clarke to Stasia Mortuhina. Deaths. Armstrong.—On February 16th, Jean Macara Armstrong; and on March 19th, M. Alex Armstrong her husband, formerly Principal of the Boys’ School, Chefoo. Dbe Condon Re^llnion. With that notice in the last number of “Chefoo” every true Chefooite must have made strenuous efforts to be in or near London on April Sth. The Winter Re-Union is always very much a thing to anticipate and a thing to remember. So by 6-30 p.m. we started to arrive. A label of “CHEFOO” on the door gave a first welcome, and we were soon inside the big Hall exchanging greetings with a celerity and terseness unknown elsewhere. Before you could finish a handshake with one, another would be asking where you had been all this time. After a short time spent in talking Chefoo shop and the latest news, we were asked to seat ourselves round the Hall, and supper was handed round, everybody doing full justice to the good things provided so liberally. Then Mr. Marcus Wood spoke...”

“...CHEFOO. 65 our host and hostess, and who was no stranger to the Chefoo Re-Union. Our favourite games followed, Bingo, Celebrities Chefoo and otherwise. One cleric was shocked to find that he had been mistaken for Rasputin. Then we had the treat of some musical items, a song from Miss Olive Copp, a pianoforte solo from Reggie Taylor, and a recitation from La—Mr. McLaren. In the interval our President tendered our sincerest thanks to Dr. and Mrs. Holden for their kindness, to Colonel Winn for coming, and to Miss Hibble and Mr. Marcus Wood and others for all the various arrangements that had made the evening such a success. One of God’s greatest gifts is the blessing of friendship, and we do thank those who thus enable us to enjoy its pleasures. Then Mr. Will Mudditt made a statement on the C.S.A. The Magazine had been kept well going by the ladies who had stepped in and taken up the work when the men went out to France. He paid a well deserved tribute to Mr. McCarthy whom every boy had always...”

“...68 CHEFOO. As truly as law and grace, though opposites, are often well associated, so our stern quiet Scotch principal seemed peculiarly well mated to his sweet and gentle helpmeet. The loss of Mr. Norris necessitated an increase in the remaining school staff, and the staff” was increased in perhaps more senses than one when Mr. Armstrong came with his helpmeet to help meet the need. Though his gifts as a teacher were far from second rate, and he left indelible footprints on most of us in points of education, we were possibly often not fond enough of study to have his qualities in this direction imprinted on our memories, but in a very human way call to mind such orders as go to my study door" etc. and let them loom up before us. That Mr. Armstrong was a stem disciplinarian is well known to those of us of his day, but personally I feel that It is good for a man to bear the yoke in his youth,” and the days of school discipline have left prints (though cane marks have long gone) which have...”

“...CHEFOO. 69 punishment by that which so often touches the noblest within us— that is, by the winsomeness of love. Not a few times were acts of viciousness or mischief, and breach of rules and etiquette checked among- us by the tiny but loving person of Mrs. Armstrong. To his teaching—for he was a master teacher—and his discipline, as well as to her care and love, we owe more than we know, and thank God for them. A few years after leaving Chefoo, a broken leg led to my living some time in the same house with Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong, and there I had the opportunity of seeing the softer side of Mr. Armstrong, which official exteriors had so often hidden at school, but which had nevertheless been there. Did time and space permit I should like to quote some of the beautiful things that have been said and written about them and their later years of work for God and men in the homeland. They are now where they and all who go there shall know as they are known, and shall see His face in Whose footprints...”
