“...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 !

“...followed by the Tourna
ment Tennis Finals, in which the C.S.A. presentation racquets were won by Barbara Hance and Raymond King. Then (and this deserves a new sentence !) both the Old Girls, represented by Grace Taylor (now Mrs. Harris) and W. Rouse, and the Old Boys, represented by D. A. Irwin and F. Parry, won their matches against the present generation ! The day 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.

“...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.
