“...Newsletter No. 26
DECEMBER, 1940
Chefoo Schools Great Britain
Association % Branch.
Editorial.
For those of us in Great Britain—and especially for those of us in the London area—the war has now become more directly a domestic concern than ever. It has invaded the intimate commonplace of civilian sleeping and waking. To some Chefusians it has already brought loss and bitter bereavement. We would share with them not only their sorrow, but the unquenchable hope of our common faith, first kindled, perhaps, at Chefoo: that the Great Lover and Sufferer will shape even pain and evil to His purpose.
This, the third war-time number of “ Chefoo ” is again almost exclusively a news-letter. Once more, we apologize for its shortcomings, such as the absence of new pictures; but we appeal for our readers’ continued co-operation in collecting news, which is after all, the most important thing.
Our list of Old Chefusians serving in the Forces has been somewhat extended ; but we shall welcome further additions...”

“...the next issue in June 1941, and all news items should reach the News-Editors by May 5th. It is not possible to say if we shall be able to produce future issues in quite the same style owing to paper rationing, etc., but we shall certainly endeavour to publish some form of Newsletter in order that Old Chefusians may be kept in touch with each other and with the Schools. In spite of the many difficulties with which we have to contend in these days we shall continue to do our best to make the Association serve a useful purpose.
For our Winter Re-union we propose to have a Chinese Chow again as this was so popular last time. It will be held at the same place, Young’s Chinese Restaurant, 180 Wardour Street, (Oxford St., end), London, W I., at I p.m., on Saturday, January 4th, the charge being 2/- per head. As our opportunities for meeting each other are so scarce now I do hope a splendid number will attend and enjoy a really good Chefoo Chat together. Those who hope to be there are asked to let...”

“...MRS. LINDSAY—a former Chefusian, who sends greetings to all of her day.
JOHN ROBERTSON is in the Edinburgh University starting a four years’ course for B.Sc. (pure Science). He says the family are all in Edinburgh together. His Sisters are attending George Watson’s Ladies’ College. “ Edinburgh has, so far, proved to be a very peaceful and unwarlike locality —relatively, of course—and the Scottish air is keeping us all very fit. Once a week at meetings of the Edinburgh University Evangelical Association, I see DOROTHY WALKER—and now and then, at a ‘ Chefoo Reunion ’, under the auspices of MR. GRAHAM BROWN, I meet with a number of old Chefusians, more, indeed, than I ever dreamt were living in Edinburgh.”
MISS RICE, we are sorry to hear, is very unwell and is at present being nursed at the C.I.M. Home in South-borough, Kent. Old Chefusians will join with us in wishing her a speedy and complete recovery.
ALISON STEWART is in her third year at Aberdeen University. She is President of the Aberdeen...”
