“...Newsletter. No. 8.
DECEMBER, 1933
Chefoo Schools
Association
Great Britain Branch
A MERRY CHRISTMAS and a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR to all our members and Old Chefusians everywhere.
Included in this greeting are all those at the Chefoo Schools who will be Old Chefusians one day, and the Staffs of the three Schools.
This is also the time of year in which we extend a hearty welcome to the latest editions of Old Chefusians who are joining us after saying good-bye to their old school days at Chefoo. We can assure them that we are looking forward to having them at our various gatherings.
Then we wish to second the warm invitation given elsewhere in this issue to all Old Chefusians in China to join our Branch of the C.S.A.
Finally, we would like to shake hands with our splendid contemporary, “ The Chefusian,” at this time ! May we both flourish !

THE CHEFOO WEEK-END. July 28th to 31st, 1933.
Can anything beat a Chefoo Reunion ? Yes, a Chefoo Week-end. If you haven’t tried one before, make up your mind now to come to the next. If you live at Timbuctoo and can’t afford the fare, start saving up now, or decide to follow the valiant example set by our Scottish contingent, and begin practising in the art of coming under your own steam !

We had bathing, a tennis tournament and a treasure-hunt, not to speak of sardines ! The Grove School is ideal for this. With its labyrinth of passages and rooms, Chefoo honour to prevent you switching on the lights, and false sardines continually cropping up, it is quite impossible to find the original affair, but quite the best way to have a colossal amount of fun.
When Sunday dawned, something else dawned, too, in some of us. With the chance of talking with one and another, and reviewing the past year, and memories of former years, thoughts came thick and fast. Our own Sunday morning service, led by Mr. Houghton, the informal discussion in the afternoon on...”

Heartiest congratulations and best wishes to them all !
IN MEMORIAM.
Rowley Evans gave his life in the service of his country on the North West Frontier of India, where he was serving as a Captain in the Indian Army—September 8th, 1933.
Chefoo has lost another of her very best sons. He was quite one of the best athletes ever produced by Chefoo, but it was his splendid Christian character, above all, which endeared him to those who were boys at Chefoo with him. He was married only last year. We extend to his loved ones our very sincere sympathies.
NORTH AMERICA.
We regTet that no North American news has been received from the Canada Branch, but we have been able to collect the following items :— Marion Taylor, we hear, is now Secretary of the C.S.A. in Canada, and Walter Tyler is acting as Treasurer. Maud Hudson has taken her B.A. and her...”

“...concluded with a Musical Evening in the Memorial Hall.
The Exhibitions were again a source of excitement to the members of the three schools, and of interest to the lucky visitors in Chefoo. The Girls’ Conduct Prize this year was presented by the Old Girls in Australia, and was won by Hilda Briscoe. The Boys’ Conduct Watch was won by David Parry.
C.S.S.M. Services were held again in Chefoo this summer, and Henry Guinness was one of those helping Mr. Leslie Lyall.
New Buildings. The foundation-stones of the New Preparatory School and of the Co-Tuition Building, were laid by the Rev. G. W. Gibb, the China Director of the C.I.M., on April 4th. FredH. Judd, one of the oldest of Old Chefusians (!) was among those who took part in the ceremony.
Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Houghton, to whom we give our heartiest congratulations on the arrival of a little daughter, will be leaving Chefoo during January for furlough in England, and Eleanor Ford and Stanley Weller will be coming with them.

“...China Branch. We have now heard that the necessary support on which she has been relying is not forthcoming, and it seems that our hopes of a China Branch of the C.S.A. must be abandoned, at any rate, for the present. Gladys Evans, however, is willing to act as our Secretary in Shanghai, and can arrange for Old Chefusians in China to be linked up with the Headquarters Branch of the C.S.A. here in Great Britain. Miss Marjory Broomhall will still continue to act as our Secretary in the Chefoo Schools, and for Chefoo.
We therefore wish to extend a hearty invitation to Old Chefusians in China to join us, and we assure them that they will receive our best attention, and also three issues of our Newsletter each year ! They can obtain full particulars from the two China Secretaries.
