“...EDITORIAL.
AS explained in a circular sent to all our members this Summer, this number of the magazine is the only issue published this year.
A copy of the Spring number of the “ Chefusian,” the
Chefoo Schools Magazine, has been supplied to all our members.
MR. AND MRS. McCARTHY.
It was with sincere regret that we heard early this year that Mr. and Mrs. McCarthy were definitely retiring from the Chefoo Schools.
The Committee heard at the end of June that Mr. and Mrs. McCarthy were expecting to leave Chefoo in August and that preparations were being made for a farewell gathering early in August.
The Committee felt that it would be the desire of all members of the C.S.A. to be given the opportunity of showing in a suitable manner their appreciation of Mr. and Mrs. McCarthy’s work for so many years in Chefoo.
It was agreed, however, that the time at the disposal of the Committee did not allow of sufficient scope to make the effort justified by such a cause. Our members will be notified of further...”

Our Chairman, Mr. Mudditt, has also written the following remarks for insertion in this issue:—
“ The England Committee of the Chefoo Schools Association have requested me to write something for insertion in this issue of the Magazine, as we all feel that we should certainly be lacking in our appreciation of Mr. and Mrs. McCarthy’s work during their many years at the Chefoo Schools if we neglected to do so.
As an old boy who was at the School just prior to and for some years after Mr. McCarthy’s appointment I can only say how much I and my contemporaries respected him for what he did, both in connection with the scholastic, physical and spiritual sides of our training whilst we were at School. To say that we also feared him is true, but not in the sense of a craven fear. Our only fear was that we might offend him by not living absolutely up to the ideals which he set before us, both by word and deed in every department of his life.
For Mrs. McCarthy I can only say that every...”

A farewell gathering was held at the Boys’ School on August 6th.
Among those who spoke at this gathering were Mr. R. F. Harris, on behalf of the Staffs of the Chefoo Schools; Dr. Dilley of the American Presbyterian Mission on behalf of the missionary body of Chefoo; Mr. E. J. Mann for the parents; Mr. Donald Irwin for the Old Boys; and Mr. A. H. Faers for the C.I.M. Compound.
Finally, H.M. Consul for Chefoo, Mr. Pratt spoke and he read the following letter from Sir Miles Lampson, His Majesty’s Minister at Peking:—
My dear Pratt,
I hear that Mr. McCarthy, headmaster of the China Inland Mission Boys’ School at Chefoo is retiring at the end of the present term and that he and his wife will then be leaving Chefoo. 1 feel sure that before they go you will yourself be taking some opportunity of expressing to them the widespread regret which will be felt at their departure and when this opportunity occurs I should like you to add a word on my behalf in tribute to the excellent...”

MR. AND MRS. BRUCE.
On behalf of the C.S.A. the General Committee extends a hearty welcome to Mr. and Mrs. Bruce on their taking up work at the Chefoo Schools in succession to Mr. and Mrs. McCarthy.
They wish them many happy years of work in the Schools. C.S.A. ADMINISTRATION.
The General Committee has recently been reconsidering this matter and recommendations have been drawn up, which, if agreed to by Branch Executives, will, it is hoped, put membership of the Association within the reach of all Old Chefooites, especially from the financial point of view.
Our aim is to decrease the financial burden and increase the membership.
Further announcements will be made at a later date. FINANCE.

EDITORIAL
THE attendances at the Winter and Summer Reunions this year prove that members have not lost interest in the Association.
The General Committee have recently formulated new plans which will probably enable all Old Chefooites in Great Britain to join the Association. Most of our members have filled in the Membership Cards recently issued and it is hoped that others who have not done so will send theirs to the Secretary as soon as possible.

CHEFOO REUNION.
JANUARY 11th, 1930.
WINTER, if a fall of snow be a sine qua non of winter, fell upon January 11th this year. Appropriately enough, our Annual Winter Reunion fell on the same date and those Chefooites and their friends who attended quickly forgot the dismal out-of-doors in the warmth of the hospitality accorded by the C.I.M., Newington Green.
It has been said that Time and Tide wait for no man; if there is one thing which makes time not only wait, but first slip back a decade...”

where we were once again participants of their generous hospitality.
The weather was not so kind to us as usual, but owing to the large attendance of the younger “ element,” this was not allowed to interfere with our enjoyment.
Lunch was, as in past years, indulged in near the mulberry tree, whose fruits w'erc however, too late this year to stain the spotless white flannels of our impetuous youths.
Tennis (both “real” and “mock”), croquet etc., were also indulged in while the weather permitted, but eventually we were driven indoors, where under the control and guidance of the son of our honourable host, we were encouraged to behave as reported above.
An excellent tea was served for us between the showers, and the usual Chefoo justice was done to it.
After this, one or two speeches were attempted, both Mr. Aldis and our Secretary making sympathetical reference to the retirement of Mr. and Mrs. McCarthy.
Some more tennis was possible after tea for those who were capable of...”

TORONTO REUNION, NOVEMBER 1929.
ONE of the largest and most enjoyable Reunions we have had for some time was held at the Central Y.W.C.A. at the beginning of November. It was the first gathering since everyone had scattered for the summer and so we all had plenty to say to one another. In fact some of us had not seen each other for a year or two and so our tongues wagged pretty fast to cover the breach of time. It was nice to see so many of the older folks interested enough in us Chefooites to turn out to help the evening go. Some of the more recent arrivals from Chefoo certainly brought back memories of the old place by appearing at the Reunion in their boating and tennis rigouts.
A very clever competition had been arranged for us—a real Chefoo one—and this kept us going for a good part of the evening. Pieces of paper were pinned up around the room and on these were printed the names of places in Chefoo with the letters all mixed up and some of them rather hard to guess...”
