“...and we were glad to have with us Ailsa Carr, Miss Lucia and Miss K. Macnair, all of whom were home on a flying visit from Chefoo for the Christmas holidays. During the evening an electric clock was presented to Mrs. Hayward as a token of our gratitude for all that she has done for us in the past at our Winter Reunions. A cheque for the balance of the funds contributed has also been sent her, with the request that she will purchase something else for herself from us. Our Summer Reunion. Once again Mr. and Mrs. Millner Morris have kindly invited us, and as we hesitate to imagine our reunion being held elsewhere, we have gladly accepted. As a date in September is not convenient for them, the Reunion will be held earlier, as last year, the date this time being Saturday, July 4th. Notices will be sent later to our members in Great Britain. Please book the date now. Chefoo Week-end. We are hoping to arrange another this summer, and if successful, the dates will have to be August 1st—4th, including...”

“...OUR CHEFOO LETTER. Chefoo, January 22nd, 1936. Dear Old Chefusians, The Winter Holidays are nearly over, and the servants are already beginning to clean up the Schools in preparation for the returning parties of children. The Southern Party, which combined the Shanghai and Hongkong Parties (the latter now grown to over thirty), sailed on the new Shuntien on December 3rd. They numbered over one hundred and twenty. Once past the Promontory, they had a good trip. The Northern Party had to be divided into two, owing to lack of accommodation ; those whose homes were nearest going on the second boat. They left on the 4th and 5th. There have been very few children here for the holidays—seven boys, the same number of Prepites, and five girls. The girls have lived at the Prep., and the boys have come over for meals. The winter has been severe. At the time of writing, Chefoo is ice-bound. From Adam’s Nob this morning there was no blue sea to be seen as far as eye could reach, except that enclosed...”

“...We had a very happy Christmas. During dinner we heard Mr. W. H. Aldis’s voice on a gramophone record, with a Christmas message to Gordon Aldis, who is here on duty this year, and at the service in the morning we had telegraphic greetings from the Chefoo Reunion in Edinburgh. We very much appreciated their message. The Christmas “ stunt ” this year took the form of a panorama of Chefoo, with junks, etc., in the bay, and steamers that actually sailed on the blue paper sea (see illustration). The electrician caught the spirit of the scheme and fixed up a twinkling light for the lighthouse, a little lamp standard on the breakwater, and lighted up the cardboard ships that sailed into port. Owing to the tightening-up of Post Office regulations, Father Christmas was only permitted to hand the children parcel receipts, which had to be presented at the “ Post Office ” where Mr. Dunean was clerk. The whole thing went off very happily, and there was more than one suggestion that the panorama should...”

“...AN OLD GIRL VISITS CHEFOO. Extracts from, a letter written by an Old Girl who, with others, spent a summer holiday recently in Chefoo. “ The new buildings line the front of the Compound in the vicinity of the Memorial Hall, so are quite near to the sea. The walls are faced with a light grey stucco and have two or three gable points. The windows are long and large and airy, and the front ones facing the sea, as one looks out of them, make one feel almost on a level with the boats on the water. The Harrises now occupy the teacher’s house which adjoins the Co-Tuition building. There is also a new Prayer Room with certain points about its architecture which give it quite an ecclesiastical atmosphere. The girls will have a cement path all the way down to the new Co-Tuition building from the G.S., so that they don’t carry mud on their shoes in wet weather. In the arrangement of classes, there will be two divisions to each form—A and B. This is in order that those weak in certain subjects can...”

“...everyone else ! All through tea it went on, until we were confronted with “ Shadow-portraits ”—then our familiar friends were strangers. There were games, old favourites, and some it were almost better to forget !— What does any Chefusian know of “ bigamy ” ! ? The drawing of partners for supper proved a knotty problem, but the meal presented no difficulties, and in no way reduced the heartiness of our rendering of the old songs. Those who had been lucky enough to chat and chow in the approved Chefoo and Chinese fashion, agreed that “ a good time was had by all.” Mr. R. F. Harris kindly took our closing family prayers for us. With the anthem, “ Lord of all power and might,” ringing in our ears, we left, thinking that this had been as jolly a reunion as ever; and grateful to those who had worked so hard to make it such a success. E.F. The following Old Chefusians were present :— Miss F. M. Reid ; Katherine, Jecca and Josie Broomhall; David and Connie Mann ; Aubrey Fletcher-Jones ; W. D. Mudditt;...”

“...to be eaten. It was with no little difficulty that we concluded the last half-hour round the piano, singing the Old School songs and learning the latest one composed by Mr. Houghton. To end one of the most enjoyable reunions, if not the most enjoyable, we sang the Old Chefoo Psalm. Those present included :— Mr. Graham Brown ; Mr. and Mrs. Fleischmann ; Dr. Kate Young ; Jenny Pedersen ; Eila, Diana and Mrs. Soper; Hazle Young ; Diana Wedderbum ; Arthur Smith ; Farquhar MacRae ; Bill Fleischmann ; Bobby and Bernard Walker. ANNUAL REUNION IN AUSTRALIA. December 21st, 1935. We held our Annual Reunion on December 21st. Miss Batterham kindly invited us to tea and gave us the use of the house. Unless you are familiar with Chefoo charades, you can have no idea what that conveys ! As it was raining, ping-pong took the place of the usual kick-can. Altogether we had a royal time. Those present were :— Mr. and Mrs. Jamieson; Alec Entwistle; John Burgess; Rene Burgess ; Kitty Waters; Connie Webster;...”

“...members. The first four lines of each limerick were the work of Harold Gonder, and those present were asked to supply the last line. 1. A brilliant young pupil was May, For she learned to read in one day. Ere she entered Transition She had mastered addition, “ But she’s just in the bread-line to-day.” This last line was Marjorie Lawson Lugsdin’s doleful idea. However, Mrs. D. W. Clark had a more cheerful suggestion : “ And now she is making good pay.” 2. They tell me that Co-education Is the latest Chefoo innovation. I suppose the girls plod Up and down our old quad, “ How about a slight flirtation ? ” ! This suggestion came from a retired missionary, Mr. W. Ririe, but Mary Ririe thought quite differently : “ The boys at their heels—botheration ! ” Marjorie Lugsdin gave us this information : “ So the pass-word is now ‘ osculation.’ ” This, we can hardly dare to believe, but if it is true, we absolutely agree with David Hanna’s remark : “ So there is something new in creation.” 3. Two schoolboys...”

“...loss that we have to record the passing' of a number of Old Chefusians who have all contributed in no small measure to the glorious name of Chefoo. Miss R. Angwin. Called Home on December 26th, 1935. She arrived in China in 1893. With the exception of the last eight years, which were spent in Shanghai, the whole of her service there was given to the Boys’ School in Chefoo. Although she was a stern disciplinarian in school, she had a warm place in the hearts of the boys who knew her. She retired in 1924, and in spite of increasing weakness, her love for Chefoo was manifest by her attendance at many Chefoo Reunions. We shall miss her, but we rejoice to know that she is at Home with her Lord. Mr. D. Urquhart. From 1900 to 1927 he worked with the C.I.M. both in Shansi and in Chefoo. In 1911 he visited Chefoo. Later, he and Mrs. Urquhart worked at our Chefoo Hospital for two years before their retirement. The last three or four years have been spent in Edinburgh. Till his rather sudden Home Calling...”

Howard Joyce went again to Switzerland after Christmas with the V.P.S.C. Winter Sports parties, for the organisation of which he is responsible. There were nearly 160 in the parties, and so he was kept busy. He was glad to have in the boys’ party, one of the sons of Ernest Hardman, who was a contemporary of his at Chefoo. Bobby Walker and Stanley Mair are both leading C.S.S.M. Beach Services in Scotland this summer. Jean Graham has left the J.C.H.

Eleanor Ford says that she, Hilda Briscoe and Isabel Sinton, are as well as can be expected. Eleanor is expecting to leave the J.C.H. Hospital in June. Grace Slimmon was married to the Rev. Archie Minto on February 12th at...”

Dorothea Foucar is going to do the Housekeeping at the Hospital, Miss Rist being transferred to the Prep. days by his presence, many turning out for a little entertainment while he was learning the art.
