“...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.

“...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.
