“...In order to stimulate interest in the C. S. A. among present members of the Schools an Essay Competition has been started. The Competition is open to all boys and girls in the Schools and two prizes are offered for the best results. The subject for the first essay is “Chefoo, as it is to-day.” We hope to publish some of the essays which will, we are sure, be of great interest to many Old Chefooites, who have not revisited the old haunts for some time. It is also hoped to inaugurate a Championship Tennis Tournament, the final of which will be played on Foundation Day. A suitable prize will be awarded to the best girl and boy, either in singles or mixed doubles. * * *■ The site for the Memorial Hall has been chosen, and it is hoped if the necessary funds are available, to commence work in the Spring, so that the Hall will be ready for use next Summer. The amount Collected is roughly $8,000, but another $3,000 at least is required and we would make another urgent appeal to all Old Chefooites...”

CHEFOO AT THE HENLI REGATTA, SHANGHAI One cannot help remarking that old Chefooites always figure well in the Rowing Club’s regattas, held every Spring and Autumn. H. G. Robinson’s name is associated with the first among Shanghai rowers of bygone days. And now, in our own days, Chefoo is represented by quite a cohort of “young bloods,” who are making their mark in the rowing world. At the two regattas of 1922 no less than ten old Chefoo boys took part in the races. Foremost among them were Leslie Evans and Hallin Ford, both of whom have places on the Club Committee. The former “ stroked,” and the latter rowed “No. 7 ” in the victorious “English Eight.” They rowed together in the “international Pairs,” but did not have the fortune of winning. In the Autumn, amid the loud applause of all onlookers, Hallin Ford...”

“...were unsuccessful. They also rowed in the “Junior Eights,” and the latter in the “Junior Sculls.” Brian McCarthy, Reg. Squire and Nedham Lack rowed in a “Griffin Four” in the Spring, and came within an ace of pulling it off , the three boats finishing within one length of each other. Reg. Squire, however, with his partner, through a combination of muscle and style, won the “Griffin Pairs” in good time. Nothing daunted by their failure in the Spring, Brian McCarthy and Nedham Lack made up an “All Chefoo Four” for the Autumn, composed of: Willie Walker bow John Green 2 Nedham Lack 3 Brian McCarthy ... stroke Kenneth Evans ... cox However, they rowed at a great disadvantage, as their opponents were no less than 100 lbs. heavier than they, and they stood little chance. No doubt, they will row again next regatta, and, as their style was very favourably commented upon, with better success. There’s no doubt about the fact that those heavy pulls around to the pier, with umpteen kids in the boat...”

“...I y I Mr. Taylor has consented to close the programme for the cnnent term with a short lecture entitled “ The Present Political Situation in Great Britain?’ Ot ’Boys’ School, Chefoo. August, 1922. My Dear Bob, I hope you are quite well and getting on in business. There is not very much news except that I owe Smith minor 10 cents. You see we all had to fork out for a photo album for Mr. Robertson. He’s the chap who’s cOme' up here to build the Memorial Hall. Mr. Taylor brought him in on Sunday morning when we were all shunting the desks ready for the service. All this coolie work on Sunday is an awful fag, specially lugging chairs across from the Prayer-Room and getting into a row because your suits are dirty. It’s a dirty swindle, the kids that come up from the Prep, won’t have to do all this next year, because the Hall will be built, at least so that chap Mr. Robertson says. They are going to put it where the clothes hang out to dry behind the Prayer-Room. Mr. Robertson made some of us...”

Hugh 'Faers was one of the ushers. tJt THE PAST TERM School reopened on Friday, 1st Sepember, after a pleasant summer holiday. The Opening Service was taken by Mr. Stopke, and the subject of his excellent address was “Epitaphs,’.’ the texts on which he based his thoughtful remarks being “I have played the fool,” and “I have fought a good fight.” , ; ' • On the following day Chefoo was visited by a typhoon of unusual severity for thirty-six hours, the. wind blew with terrific force .while the downpour of rain was incessant.

“...away on furlough, and Mr. Taylor “hors de combat” for a short time, Mr. Embery from the Treasurer’s Department in Shanghai offered to assist and later was lent for the Term. When things seemed to be working excellently, everyone wa;s shocked to hear that Mr. McCarthy had suffered a severe breakdown. The doctors ordered complete rest, enforced his relinquishing of the position he has held for so long and with such unique success, and strongly recommended that he and Mrs. McCarthy should leave Chefoo. This is not the place to refer to the splendid services of either Mr. or Mrs. McCarthy. Those who have been in the Schools and those who have worked with them, know what they have given to the place. No eulogy can do full justice to the services they have both rendered with such devotion and self-shcrifice to the School. Perhaps, though, the knowledge of how highly they are esteemed by “Old Boys” and their fellow labourers in the Mission will prove some reward for their abundant labours. October...”

“...3rd do. 1 4 Pass. 7 7 Only one boy failed to satisfy the Examiners. Dr. and Mrs. Sherwood Eddy paid a never-to-be-forgotten visit to Chefoo. Thousands of Chinese met them at the' jetty, thousands attended their meetings in the Theatre and the Baptist Church. Crowds struggled to gain admittance*. The addresses were striking, and at the Saturday night meeting over nine hundred rose to signify their desire to secure Bible Teaching. The three Upper Forms were permitted to break classes in order to hear Dr. Eddy on the Friday and Saturday Mornings. On the Sunday Morning Mrs. Eddy gave a splendid address at the Children’s Service and in the afternoon Dr. Eddy spoke at the Union Church. At 5 o’clock, he took a special service for the girls and boys, a service which Mr. McCarthy considered one of the best ever held in the Boys’ School. Mr. and Mrs. Lea left Chefoo on the S. S. “Shuntien.” A large number of friends assembled on the jetty to bid them farewell. They will be tremendously missed. Mr...”
