“...Newsletter. No. 6. APRIL. 1933 25 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.

“...CHANGES AT CHEFOO. The following letter is from the pen of Marjory Broomhall, who is an Old Chefusian on the Staff at the Girls' School, but is now in England on furlough. March 1933 Dear Old Chefusians, I have been asked by the Editor to give you some idea of the changes that are taking place in Chefoo. Well, to begin with, the Prep, is coming on to the Compound, and has decided to settle on the old laundry site, and to have a building similar in shape to the B.S. Can’t you hear the Compound ring with dinner-break shouts ? Then the B.S. and G.S. are having a “ forward movement ” too. This will be housed in what is called the Co-Education Building, L-shaped, and standing in a line with the B.S., but near the Memorial Hall, which will be used daily as an Assembly Hall. Old landmarks like the Prayer Room and Mr. Harris’s house are very meekly giving in—the latter’s protests have lasted rather longer than those of the Prayer Room, whose very stones were picked out one by one for use elsewhere...”

“...The C. S. A There’s no place like Chefoo ! That is why the C.S.A. was founded. And we can imagine that these words very easily sum up the feelings of countless Chefoo boys and girls when they have found themselves launched into the world as Old Chefusians. The desire to cherish the memory of 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...”

“...self-centred interest. The aims of the C.S.A. of linking together all Old Chefusians, and preserving 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. 5...”

“...the usual Chefoo way with the 23rd Psalm and prayer. The Reunion was voted the best yet, and we are sure that those who missed it did not know what they were missing, otherwise they would not have missed it 1 The following Old Chefusians were among those present :— Miss Rice, Gordon Anderson, Jenny and Niels Pedersen, Helen and Arthur Smith, Robert and Bernard Walker, Diana Wedderburn, Hazel Young and Wilfred Olesen. ENGLAND WINTER REUNION. Saturday, January 14th, 1933. As usual our Reunion took place at the C.I.M. Headquarters in Newington Green. Tea, and greetings between old friends and schoolfellows, quickly combined to produce that warm glow which distinguishes every gathering of Old Chefusians. The evening’s programme was even more varied and ingenious than usual. There were games, of course, ancient and modern; and Chefoo songs ; and an assortment of additional surprises, which included some mental acrobatics from Dr. Hogg, in the form of verse-conundrums about Chefoo, and some most...”

“...Anderson. Called home on February 27th. His skill and success at games and work at Chefoo proved to be the fore-runner of a comparatively short life of physical pain and weakness, which he bore with the same fortitude and patience as that with which he worked and played at Chefoo. His years of serious illness served to increase his faith and hope in the Master Whom he loved. Those of us who knew him at Chefoo have lost a friend whom we admired and respected. Chefoo has lost one of her very best sons. Mrs. Hampson, as Miss M. Gray, was on the staff of the Girls’ School from 1906-1910. On her return to England in 1920 after the death of her husband, she was for several years keenly interested in the welfare of Old Chefusians here. Recently she passed through much suffering, and her death on December 30th last must have been a joyful release. In her passing we feel we have lost another link with the old days in Chefoo. Mr. B. R. Mudditt, the father of our Chairman, always showed a keen interest...”
