Association
Great Britain Branch.
Christmas and the New Year will soon be here, and we extend to our members and all Old Chefusians the world over, our warmest compliments of the season.
With this issue we announce one or two rather important changes which are mentioned below.
Our Newsletters. At the request of the " Chefusian " Committee, who wish to have our news in time for insertion in their issues, we have decided to change our publication dates to March, July, and November.

Epidemics have made their usual attacks on the Schools during the year. These included one of unknown origin, apparently given the name of “ Blumps,” which was indulged in by the Lower School girls.
Two old Chefoo girls—Carrie Mann and Kathleen Davies—helped with the nursing at the Prep. School, which attracted more than its fair share of various...”
