“...Newsletter. No. 17. NOVEMBER, 1936 Chefoo Schools Great Britain Association A Branch. This issue closes the fourth year of publication of our Branch Newsletter in this form. During this period we have practically doubled our membership, wiped out our old deficit, and built up a strong financial position. What pleases us most, however, is the way in which those just leaving Chefoo are so readily joining up with the Association, and it is a real pleasure to see how they enter into our activities on their arrival from China. They are undoubtedly the strength of our Branch, and we are fortunate that so many of them are finding their way to England. We take this opportunity of thanking Miss E. M. Broomhall, our energetic secretary in Chefoo, for all that she is doing to interest past and present Chefusians there in the Association. With this number we wish all Old Chefusians a very happy Christmas and prosperous New Year. Rev. and Mrs. Frank Houghton. Many of our members will have heard already...”

“... ! To give her a start-off we offer an Old Chefusian tie or pocket badge as a prize for the best article contributed for each of the 1937 issues, the judging to be left to her ! We would repeat here our request for good up-to-date photos of Chefoo. In conclusion we want to thank Dorothy Kirk for all her help in the past as News-Editor. The C.S.A. Tennis Singles Cups were won by Edith Bruce and Lorden Trickey, and the cups were presented on Prize-giving Day. A letter of thanks received from Edith Bruce tells how the tennis in the G.S. was improved this year by many opportunities of mixed doubles with the boys. A letter from Lorden Trickey is included in this issue. We are glad to hear that the new arrangements have met with general approval in Chefoo, and that the Tennis Singles competitions have been so popular in the two schools. The Summer Reunion was held on Saturday, July 4th, at the home of our kind friends Mr. and Mrs. Millner Morris. The weather was kind to us once again, and we...”

All these happened to me within a fortnight :— (1) I was invited by a Latvian girl, whom I knew, to have tea with her at the home of some friends. These friends, whom I did not know, turned out to be cousins of Kathleen, Paul, Isabel, and Leona Davies. (2) On the first day of term, at the Institute of Education, I entered into conversation with a girl standing by me at tea. She knew Kitty and Jim Broomhall. (3) During my first day’s teaching practice in a London Secondary School, I learnt that the member of staff sitting by me had had a friend teaching in a school at Chefoo !—she was at Oxford with Miss Moore, now Mrs. Martin.

“...NEWS FROM CHEFOO. Foundation Day, a day which is always remembered by Old Chefusians, was celebrated with the good old programme but with a few modern innovations. The Boat Races now-a-days are honoured with such things as a cine photographer, stake-boats, floating palaces for spectators, and a speedy motor-boat to enable the officials to keep up with the racing crews ! Furthermore, the Junior Boys showed that they could row the full course this year for their race, beating the Girls’ time by 15 seconds, and taking only 5 seconds longer than the Senior Boys ! It is interesting to note that the present boats, Hero and Leander, have been used for twenty-one years. The cricket match was won by the visitors and staff, Mr. Bruce scoring 52 retired (but not hurt !). The service in the Memorial Hall was conducted by Mr. H. S. Cliff. In the tennis during the afternoon, the Old Boys, represented by R. A. Eckford and A. F. Lutley (who evidently finds that Chefoo air gives him perpetual youth), overcame...”

Secretary, July, 1936. Chefoo Schools Association. Dear Sir, We should like to express our deep gratitude to the members of the Chefoo Schools Association for the racquets they have so kindly given us in the past, and for their renewed generosity in presenting two tennis cups this year.

“...Tunbridge Wells, England. Miss R. Angwin. (Retired List.) I feel I must write you something. Probably all old boys of my time, 30 years ago and more, will be writing, too, so you will be inundated. Very well, then, Drop me out ! “ Old Scroogie ! ” That’s what we used to say in tones of despair, resentment, but increasing respect, in the First, Second, and Third Forms respectively. But after we left school, it was “ Dear old ‘ Scroogie.’ ” I don’t know Miss Angwin’s exact dates,—when she came to Chefoo, or when she retired,—but I do know what a no-mistake-about-it, well-established, inescapable institution she was to us kids of ten to twelve, when we were first in the Boys’ School. Just what others remember, I don’t know; but I can literally feel my memories. That long, cold corridor ; the Workroom,— first door on the left; the room opposite,—the “ Medicine Cupboard,”—both together having at least six corners for boys to stand in, and seldom unoccupied out of school hours. Well I remember ’em...”

She spent a fortnight of her summer holiday with the Kirk family in South Wales. Dorothy Stark returned to China in September. Mona Wainwright (nee Pilcher) wrote in the summer to say that her husband had had a good deal of illness and that they had now come home to England to settle down in Felpham, Sussex. She wants to " keep in touch with things Chefoo.” Bernard Walker and Stanley Mair both were leaders this summer of C.S.S.M. Seaside Services, Bernard at Elie and Stanley at Crail. John Whilelaw is in the office of Messrs. Boyd Cooper, Hanover Sq., West End Tailors. He is no longer a Junior, with the rise, “ stamp-licking ” is a thing of the past.

“...Knight, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Graham, Miss Agnes Clarke, Gertrude Gill (from S. America). Cathie Nicoll has associated at three different Camps for Girls during the summer, each running for a period of about two weeks. Paul Mellon, Rachel Nicoll, and Russell Rist have recently taken up residence in Canada. Owing to strict immigration laws, few Chefoo-ites are able to enter Canada. We regret very much that the C.S.A. seems to have no influence with the Department of Immigration at Ottawa ! Donald Rouse we hear is doing splendidly in his grocery business in San Diego, California. Edward is still living in Toronto, is married and has a son. Elmore Hanna and Stanley Rist have both been married lately. Mr. and Mrs. Bonner {nee Rose Olsen) are both busy studying music ; also they have several music pupils. Mrs. R.
