“...not usually desirable to make a change so soon, it was felt that a real up-to-date improvement could be effected by adopting for the Association an emblem which would be distinctive and have some definite pictorial reference to Chefoo.
This emblem could not only form the chief feature of the new badge, but also be introduced into the Old Chefusian tie, thus conforming with the modern designs in this direction.
A number of designs were submitted and carefully considered by the Committee. The final selection rested on one drawn by our " budding " architect, Theo Hirst.
In this, the emblem may be described as a Chinese dolphin—referring to Chefoo’s position by the sea—with a Chinese seal, the special characters on which are intended to convey the meaning of . “ Chefoo—Old Scholars’ Association.” This design is illustrated on the cover of this issue.

“...This emblem will be included in the new'badge, which will still be in the shape of the Chefoo shield, as we did not wish to break away entirely from old Chefoo ideas, together with the word " Chefoo ” and the motto “ In Deo Fidemus.” The emblem will be in silver on a background of dark blue, and the seal and lettering will be in scarlet.
This, we feel, will give us a very distinctive and attractive new badge.
For the ties, the emblem of the dolphin will be placed in the broad Stripe of maroon, which, for this purpose, will be made broader and the scarlet and silver blue stripes narrower. For the woollen scarves no change in the widths will be made in the stripes, which will not include the emblem.
It is hoped to have the new ties and badges ready for sale before Christmas, and we trust that Old Chefusians will support the Committee by 'making purchases. These, with other items of Old Chefusian colours, are an excellent idea for Christmas presents ! The changes have naturally increased the...”

CHEFOO WEEK-END.
August 3rd—6th, 1935.
Pass the peanuts, please . . . ; I wonder how many households supply peanuts for every meal of the day, breakfast included ? Of course, a Chefoo household is different from all others. We began with peanuts on Saturday evening, 3rd, August, and ended with this same delectable commodity on Tuesday morning, 6th August.
In between, we walked and talked, played tennis and “ murder,” bathed and chuted down water-chutes ! It was not only the younger fry who thus exercised their limbs—for in the dusk of the Bank Holiday evening, highly respectable members of the Staff could have been seen running wildly...”
