“...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...”

“...Old Chefusian Colours. All Old Chefusians should wear their colours ! Full particulars can be obtained from the Secretary. Ties and Badges can be purchased also through the N. American and Chefoo Secretaries at the following prices :— Ties. Badges. N. America ... $1.00 35 cents China ... $2.50 80 cents Financial Accounts.

A copy, however, will be on view at the next Reunion, and also copies can be obtained from the Secretary if postage is sent. Although we made a small deficit of 5/7 on our Branch account and of £1/8/9 on the General Management Fund, due to the extra cost of the special silver jubilee issue of the Newsletter, we are glad to say that our financial position is very satisfactory. Our Third Chefoo Week-End. As we go to press we are looking forward to this great event which takes place at Watford, July 27th to 30th. A “ Youthful " Palace of the Past ! 3...”

“...Where the camel needn’t have a hump ! A CHEFOO REUNION IN TORONTO. February—another Reunion and Toronto’s Chinatown ! And this time they met ! A Chinese meal was a real drawing-card, and by 7 p.m. there were over fifty Chefusians crowded into a little Chinese restaurant on Elizabeth Street. And still they came, until it was as crowded as a street-car on Christmas Eve, and as hilarious ! Cup after cup of green tea was sipped, while bursts of laughter greeted the efforts of each newcomer to find a place at the table. And how that table stretched ! The steaming dishes arrived, and for the next half-hour behold a scene of unparalleled industry ! We believe there was some rivalry at one end of the table, but who emerged the champion rice-eater is still an open question. The hubbub, as we tried to catch up with all the news, reminded one of school (Boys’ or Girls’ ?—we leave you to guess !). A few after-dinner speeches, in keeping with the spirit of the feast, closed the “ entertainment,” and...”

“...A CHEFOO REUNION IN EDINBURGH. A “ jolly fine Reunion ” was the verdict after an hilarious evening on Saturday, 17th March. We had met by kind invitation of Mr. Graham Brown and Miss Brown at 19, Mayfield Gardens, where, in the oft-quoted words of an old Chefoo song, “ . . . a welcome hearty, warms the inner man.” A most entertaining programme had been arranged, and as we tried to tread on elusive balloons, swallowed peanuts, precariously balanced on chopsticks (the peanuts, not us !) ; chewed our pencils over brainracking conundrums and studied the arts of black magic, we returned to the days of our youth and felt not a day older than when we had said “ Good-bve ” to Chefoo. It was with reluctance that we eventually went home, feeling very grateful to Mr. Graham Brown and Miss Brown for enabling us to reunite in such a way and also to that unknown benefactor who first suggested a Chefoo Reunion. The following Old Chefusians were among those present :—Inez Davidson, Harold Bmslie, Wilfred...”

Alice Lachlan has just returned from China, having spent four months in Chefoo, where her sister, Mrs. Robertson, is teaching in the B.S. She writes—“ Considering that twenty years had elapsed since my last visit, I did not find the place changed very appreciably—a few new houses along the beach, a number of new semi-foreign shops, and the break-water,— but the Settlement Hill and the old mule road up to the Ninghai Gate seemed much the same." Bertie McOwan had her appendix out a short while ago : and is now back at the Wingfield-Morris Hospital at Headington, where she...”
