“...interesting competition should result from the brainy efforts of those present at the Shanghai reunion. We trust that members will send in their votes in good time. * * * This from, the Prep.— “There is one boy in the school who has not got any sweets of his own, so I eave him some of my sweets just to cheer him up. That boy is now up at the hospital and I hope he will be better soon.” * * * Arrival of Mr. & Mrs, Frank McCarthy, (from Chefoo Secretary.) All have been glad to welcome back to Chefoo and the Boys School Mr. & Mrs. Frank McCarthy, who arrived in Chefoo on the evening of the 22nd April. A large number, including all the boys, went down to the Jetty to welcome them on their arrival on shore from the s.s. “Shuntien.” A Reception was held from 4 to 6 p.m. on Friday by the members of the Boys School Staff in the School dining-room, when a very representative gathering of missionaries and business people met Mr. & Mrs. McCarthy at tea. Mr. McCarthy is to take over his duties as Principal...”

“...bawled when he wanted to bring out the fine points in your voices. And we Masters required more volume of sound at Prayer time, rather than sweetness merely. Then how unfeelingly you tramped along at early morn, and once from the Rising Sun, he dropped heavily though may be thoughtlessly upon the steps leading to the East Lavatory. Poor Fireworks! He taught you to sing and to march, but you thought poorly of him. His end was sudden, some will remember. Three of you escaped a watery grave in the Chefoo Harbour, but not he poor fellow; may be he was was ready, and so God took him. (To be Continued) fi...”

“...Re-union— 1926. The usual winter re-union of the China branch was postponed in anticipation of Mr. & Mrs.McCarthy’s arrival from Home to resume work at Chefoo. In due course they arrived, and on Fr;day, 9th April, about sixty old boys and girls and a goodly number of the staff again had the opportunity of saying "‘Don’t you remember?” Introductions are a formality rarely necessary at a re-union, and we soon settled down to the business of the evening. The first event was a game of ‘Telegrams’. Each individual was requested to construct a telegram composed of words the initial letters of which had to correspond with the letters of a given key-word. The keys selected were ‘CHEFOO HARBOUR’ and ‘SETTLEMENT’. It was unfortunate that there was no opportunity of making public the diversified results. The following are however a few of the more choice. Chefoo Harbour, 1. ‘Come help every fellow of our house, Alty risks breaking our universal rabbit-room’. Hargo Howell. 2. ‘Cheery Ho every former old owl...”

“...were called for and the following were elected. Messrs. R. L. Faers, E. F. Hardman, N. E. Lack and W. H. Taylor (Hon. Secretary) Mrs. G. M. Weston, Mrs. Wells and Miss Gladys Evans (Hon. Treasurer). A match-box team race followed, causing some amusement and we turned our attention to the singing of rounds, always a popular item. These were Jed by Brian McCarthy, who accomplished the difficult task in truly ‘Ebe. M.’ style. Mr. McCarthy then conducted a ‘History Lesson’, the topic being of course-Chefoo. He succeeded in plumbing the abysimal depths of our ignorance on the most elementary questions, as to why for Instance—Bottle Rock was so named-when 'the Wall was built-which was the first house on the Compound-etc. The lesson passed all too quickly, much more so than many of its predecessors we fear! Anxious glances at the clock and at the refreshment tables shamed the Committee into omitting several items on the programme, and under the cheering influence of noble viands, tongues wagged freely...”

“...Chefoo Jottings. From Our Chefoo Secretary. 1st. April, 1926. Nurse White is.back again at the Hospital, Nurse Baker and Mi s Frances Baker having left here for furlough. Mr. & Mrs. Urquhart are now back in Chefoo, Mrs. Urquhart being in charge of the house-keeping at the Hospital, and Mr. Urquhart is helping Dr. Hogg in the native hospital work. Mr. & Mrs. Urquhart have been for the past number of years in Au-tralia, where they were good friends to all “Old Chel'ooites.” The Staff at the Hospital have been having a busy time lately, owing to Theodore Stedman, the School Captain of the Boys School, being there seriously ill. Much sympathy is felt with Mr. & Mrs. Stedman in this their time of anxiety, Mrs. Stedman has been in Chefoo since her son took ill. Nurse Burn has being having a good long spell up at the Isolaiion with Measles. This, apart from day-scholars, has fortunately been confined to the Prep., but they have had the misfortune to be running an epidemic of chicken pox at the...”

“...Trudinger, formerly of Prep, and Boys Schools’ Staffs, is at present in Chefoo. Mies Trudinger, who is just back from furlough, has been transferred to Kii-wo in Shansi, and all, who have had the privilege and pleasure of knowing her here in Chefoo, will wish her the best of good wishes as she enters a new sphere of service. Mr. & Mrs. H. E. V. Andrews and family will shortly be leaving here for the United States. Mr. Andrews has been the Secretary of Schools lor the past two years, but has now been transferred to Germantown, Philadelphia, to act as the Mission’s Secretary in the United States.

“...Iff A Laurel' for Chefoo. The Shanghai Peace Memorial Scholarship. Among the many notable achievements of our old boys and girls must be numbered the winning of the Shanghai Peace Memorial Scholarship by William Hamilton Lyttle. This Scholarship is one of two, both the gift of an anonymous donor. They are competed for every three years, and open the way for a full university course to boys educated in China. Lyttle entered the Boys’ School in 1918, and in July 1922 passed the Oxford Junior with 2nd class honours and distinction in Geography. Two years later he passed his Senior with 2nd class honours and distinctions in English and Religious Knowledge. Out of doors he was no less successful, winning the Shield in 1924; and securing both his football colours and first crew rowing cap. Tn 1924 he went to Shanghai and entered the Public School, where he tried for the Hongkong Matriculation and Peace Memorial Scholarship. He passed with let class honours with distinctions in English, Latin...”

“...I says it as shouldn’t, not too long and nottoo short, not too friendly and not too coldly—the happy medium. Some while later the postman called at our place and left a. letter in an unknown handwriting. I opened it. Alas! Alack a day! What did I read? Sure enough it was the right name and the right address, bnt the contents! He was in receipt of my letter, but was afraid it had been received by the wrong person, for other than knowing that it was a seaport in in China, he had never heard of Chefoo. (Could any one be so absolutely ignorant?) and was not in any way intere-ted. Ah me! And my nice letter!.........and me, a poor shrinking creature to receive Buch a blow! Even his polite “thanking you” at the end of the letter could scarce soothe the ruffled—what? K. L. W. 2 CO. 19...”

“...Chefoo C. S. S. M. 1925. (Contributed.) The word “expectancy” perhaps best describes the attitude off many towards the C. S. S. M of 1925. After two successful series of sand services—successful in that they produced lasting fruit—the C. S. S. M. in Chefoo, could no longer be regarded in the light of a doubtful experiment, but Tather as an integral part of the holiday month, welcomed alike by children and adults. When the opening day came, enthusiasts big and little gathered to dig the seats and build the pulpit. Even as they worked the rapidly gathering clouds threatened to mar the proceedings, and a tew minutes before the appointed hour, when excited groups of children were wending their way towards the red b inner, a heavy downpour necessitated a retreat to the Memorial Hall. Nothing daunted, in they streamed: “Fathers, mothers, uncles, cousins, Families by tens and dozens.” and the true C. S. S. M. spirit prevailed as we started off with “Look on the fields,” “Joy, joy joy,” and other...”

“...Boys School Notes. From Our 0ton Correspondent, Walter Pike. 25th. May, 1926. In the last copy of the “Chefoo” it was stated that after the match against the Settlement, in which the School scored five times, there would be no more matches that term. This proved incorrect, and very luckily so, or the School would, at the present time, be behind their opponents in goals, which would result in losing the Shield. Another match was played, and we scored another four goals. Thus the term ended with the School leading by six. Then, since the holidays, we have played several times. After the Game. The first this term was on the 20th Feb., in which the School scored three to two shot by the Settlement. This put the School ahead by seven. During the week Stedman took seriously ill, and was taken to the Hospital. This put out the team somewhat, and next Saturday the score was four to three, the extra goal going to the Settlement. Then the next Saturday Stark the goalie was not well enough to play...”

“...remained behind for the winter holidays went down to the Boys’ School. This year they had their bedrooms on the ground floor of what used to be Mr. & Mrs. Stooke’s house. Their sitting-room was the Second Form Class room. The girls declare that they were some of the best holidays they have ever had. On account of the trouble here, there were in the harbour U.S.S. “MacLeish” and H.M.S. “Concord," for purposes of protection. The “Concordians" gave a very amusing Concert for all the children of Chefoo, which was much appreciated. 26...”

“... and after some delay on account of 1he weather, a favourable day was found. The officers were most kind, and showed them all over the ship. It is to be feared however, that the credulity of some of the girls fell an easy prey to Sailors’ Yarns. Later on the “Concord” left, and H.M.S. “Durban” came up from Hong-Kong to take her place. This winter was an unusually cold one, and there was very little hockey. Some good football, and one or two hockey matches were played between the Navy men and Chefoo. Towards the end of the holidays a mixed team of boys and girls played Hockey against the younger Officers and the midshipmen of the “Durban.” The score was 6 goals to 2, the “Durban” leading, and the game was much enjoyed by all. There was a deal of sledging. In fact, it seemed as if the good old winters we used to have had returned. The chief slide was the Compound path below the G-.S. gardens. Mr. Coulthard was Father Christmas this year, although Mr. Welch tried to impose on the company,...”

“...Dear Editor, This 16 a report from one of the Chefoo boys on his intiation into a Canadian College. If it is your desire, you might have it put into the Chefoo Mag anonymously. Yours sincerely. One other incident has happened, namely “that most awful and terrible Initiation of the Freshmen by their most inveterate enemies the Sophomores.” For a week past we have had to wear collars back to front with Frosh painted on in staring green capitals, and finally last Thursday night we became acquainted with paint and gasolene etc. Luckily some one had the idea of greasing our hair so that the paint would not stick and so we did. We were led down one by one under the Science building with only a pair of lights on, blind folded. We each had “guides” who led us through green and slippery paths through the cellars. First we were asked name address and then a slimy brush covered our whole body legsand all with green paint. Then we had to climb up a slippery plank on hands and knees and then still on...”
