Chefoo Schools | Great Britain Association | Branch
The twenty-fifth Anniversary of the C.S.A. surely requires some commemoration, and so this Newsletter has been published as a special “ Silver Jubilee ” number.
Since the Association was founded in London twenty-five years ago, on January 29th, 1908, it has certainly succeeded in uniting all generations of Old Chefusians, and every time any of us meet together there is a happy atmosphere of natural friendship which has its source in our mutual love and respect for our Alma Mater.
We send greetings to our old school friends in other parts of the world, inviting them to join with us in our endeavour to preserve the memory of the days we spent together at Chefoo, which to many of us are too precious ever to be forgotten.
Flor oat Chefoo.

“...days made it inevitable that such an Association as ours should be formed, and its birth took place in London on January 29th, 1908, at a meeting of four Old Boys—E. S. Elliston, W. D. Mudditt, H. W. Hunt, and A. B. Randle. Of these, two are still members of our Branch—W. D. Mudditt, who has been Chairman of the Committee ever since, and H. W. Hunt, the first Editor of the Chefoo magazine.
The new Association received a warm welcome, and before long Old Boys and Girls in all parts of the world were joining up. The Chefoo Magazine was published regularly, and served as a splendid link between Old Chefusians and the School. Then came the Great War, during which over 800 Old Boys served their King and Country, and thirty-four of them laid down their lives. The brass tablet in the Boys’ Schoolroom, and the new War Memorial Hall, serve as a daily reminder of their unselfish sacrifice.
In 1919 efforts were made to revive the activities of the Association, but the following years saw many ups...”

“... their associations with the Chefoo Schools, should, we feel, call for the unselfish co-operation of all Old Boys and Girls, and everyone who joins is helping towards the achievement of these objects.
With this in view we have endeavoured to fix the annual subscription for our Branch as low as possible, and yet do all that is within our power to give our members opportunities of meeting and hearing about each other.
We therefore extend a hearty invitation to all Old Chefusians to join our Association, not because we wish to boast of an increase in membership, but because we welcome their company and feel that the C.S.A. will benefit by their co-operation. Let us also who are members see what more we can do to help in the interests of all.
The Memorial Hall, Chefoo.
