Letters from Chefoo.
Hullo, there ! At last Xmas has come ! We awoke early this morning to the strains of “ Hark, the herald angels sing ” on the cornet, played by Mr. Fry right up at his attic window in the San.
Monday morning we spent in opening presents and rollerskating. During the morning two of the “ Sons,” Dr. Watson and Mr. Matthews, came and roller-skated with us.
In the afternoon we went over to the Prayer Room where a little red brick house was standing. Mr. Taylor then introduced us to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Dr. Broomhall, behind the house, was making it more interesting by playing the mouth-organ and speaking for the Dwarfs.
Snow White in the glass box turned out to be Santa Claus, Mr. Keeble, and Dr. Watson rode in on a donkey as Prince Charming, with Mr. Matthews as a groom.
After supper on Sunday we were sitting upstairs on little Prep, school chairs when suddenly the whole building...”

“...assist in the business side of the publication of the Newsletter and its despatch to members. His other duties will include the keeping of the Membership Register in which is also a record of all subscriptions received from members, the publication of the annual Address Book, correspondence with members and other Branches of the C.S.A., Old Chefusian colours, Committees, and general Branch affairs.
The Treasurer will continue to keep the Branch Subscription Register and the accounts of the Association. All subscriptions should be paid to the Treasurer except where members are replying at the same time to a Reunion Notice or communicating with the Secretary, when for convenience the subscription may be sent to these other officers concerned.
It is hoped that these new plans will result in an increased efficiency in the conduct of our Branch activities.
The Winter Reunion once again broke all previous records for attendance, there being 131 Old Chefusians and friends present. Suitable thanks...”
