“...Newsletter. No. 10.
AUGUST, 1934
Chefoo Schools Association
Great Britain
Branch.
A year ago we referred to progress in this space of our Newsletter. And now another lankmark has been safely passed—we can rejoice in a Branch membership of over 250 members ! We do not mention this in a seif-satisfied kind of spirit, but with the object of expressing to all our members our appreciation for their support and instilling into them the enthusiasm to urge all Old Chefusians to join the Association. The arrangement whereby Old Chefusians in China are eligible for membership of our Branch has, of course, helped to increase our ranks, but there are many more whom we would gladly welcome as members, and we hope they will join up. We have two Secretaries in China, one at Chefoo and one at Shanghai, who will gladly supply information.
From Canada also we have news of progress, and we are very pleased to be in such close touch with the Branch Executive in Toronto. We wish them success in all their plans...”

“...Committee. It is with regret that we announce the resignation of two of our very valuable members—Mrs. Dorothy Houghton and Kenneth Price.
Mrs. Houghton is hoping to pay a visit to China with her husband if her health will permit. She has been a most loyal and helpful member of the Committee and we shall miss her. We are indeed grateful for what she has done for the Association.
Kenneth Price will also be leaving in the autumn for China for missionary service to which he feels called for his life’s work. Our prayers and best wishes will go with him and his fiancee as they take this important step. He has acted as Treasurer of the Association for many years, and we wish- to express our gratitude for all the hard work he has done for us. As his place on the Committee has not yet been filled, he will continue to act as Treasurer for the present.
We are pleased to say that Fern King has accepted our invitation to represent the young generation of Old Chefusians on the Committee !
Our Summer Reunion...”

“...Anderson took and passed her Inter Accountancy Exam, this May in Leeds. She hopes to sit for her Final in 1936.

Congratulations to them all !—Ed.
IN MEMORIAM.
Mr. F. Marcus Wood was called home on Saturday, May 19th. His passing leaves another gap in the ranks of old friends who gave their kind support to the Association in its early days. In fact, we believe that he was instrumental in arranging the Chefoo Reunion in 1908 at which it was agreed that the Chefoo Schools Association should be formed. He was one of our Vice-Presidents for many years, showing a keen interest in our affairs. We shall miss him.
