“...with his Alma Mater to come and go without the least support.
We hope sincerely that this era oi indifference is over, and that this new movement in Canada will usher in an era o.f individual responsibility which will culminate in the great achievement of a larger, better and more frequent issue of the Mag. being placed in the hands of every Chefooite the world over. Why should we not have more subscriptions ? Why should not every Chefooite. every parent of a Chefooite. every one interested in Chefoo, be given a chance and encouragement to become a subscriber? Why should we not hear more from the teachers, both past and present: are they not Chefooites also ?
It is only by the concerted action of all who read this that this end can be accomplished. It is only when each in his separate sphere " shall put forth his or her utmost for the common good—the memory of the old School— that we can be justly proud of our organization. We are all proud that we are Chefooites : we are proud of the past...”

“...holidays at Chefoo will always remember the jolly time given them at the annual Beulah picnic.
Beulah parcels and Beulah picnics are very nice things to have, but when we Chefooites come to Toronto we are even more fortunate ; for here we are able to meet the real
B
people and to enjoy the good times they give us. We certainly are very much indebted to Miss Carpmael and Miss Clarkson for their generous hospitality. Not only have they often entertained us for Reunions, but every Saturday they keep open house for Chefooites. The first Saturday of the month the C.S.A. Bible Class meets. This is a very informal gathering in which the study of a Bible character is led by one of the members (of either sex), the rest being quite free to join in discussion. On other Saturday nights we try our skill at Krokovol. Progressive Ping Pong and, incidentally, Hunt’s Candies.
Sometimes a sing-song is scheduled and. with Rose at the piano, we are compelled to join heartily in all the Chefoo favourites.

“...hospitable roof. “ Reef ” is only a small island, its area is about six or seven acres, and Miss Carpmael’s the only house on it. So it is here we experience the joy of living and find an outlet for this exuberance of spirit in making paths around the island, sawing logs, swimmings canoeing, and going for all-day excursions in the D.P.
And when the day’s fun is over, we lie in bed listening to the water lapping against the shore and thinking how long ago it was since we last heard that sound in Chefoo ! Isabel Taylor, 2C2.
FIELD DAY.
R. and Mrs. Brownlee had the Chefooites in last Wednesday, as Mr. and Mrs. Bunting had left funds for a party for us, though they themselves were unable to be with us. The executive divided us into “Jolly Rovers” and “War Arrows ” and we had a “ Field Day.” I won’t describe more than about one race, as the ladies’ high jump was naturally the most difficult to bring off. Imagine Marion T. in a slender creation of mauve satin, Rosie Olsen in a flowing green crepe...”

“...After refreshments, we had what they called a business meeting, at which Al Grosart made quite a long speech. What it was about, no •one seemed to know, but it was a good speech. Then we had a prolonged and awkward silence, but every one knew what this was about. We were all thinking of the kindness of Mr. and Mrs. Bunting and Mr. and Mrs. Brownlee, but no one was clever enough to express it properly. Anyway, this was the first really old-fashioned Chefoo Reunion we had had for a long time. The jolly tumult of the evening wore our veneer ■of sophistication, and in some cases even of cynicism, pretty thin ; so that by the time we were ready to close by singing “ Lord of all Power and Might," it pealed forth like it used to in the Boys’ School when we were Prepites there for the winter holidays and if you sung flat Shinter could turn you into stone by the power of his eye. I understand that there has been a legend founded on this, called Medusa. Probably not as terrifying as the original...”
