(2) Chefoo Schools Reconstruction Fund. Thank you all for your gifts. The statements by the Great Britain and North American Treasurers (printed elsewhere) show that the Funds now have balances in hand of just over £175, and $1438 respectively.

“...Sojourn in Shanghai By ISABEL IT has been interesting for Old Chefusians to be connected with the School during this “ transition ” period in Shanghai, and to have worked at first with a majority of non-Chefoo staff, whereas we are now three-quarters “ Chefoo ” again. To those who piloted the School through the Kaiting, Kalim-pong, and early Shanghai days, especially to Miss Frances Williamson who was Principal for most of that time, our School owes much, as those of us who were privileged to work with them well know. Nearly all of these were . fare-welled for furlough a month or more before Mr. and Mrs. Houghton arrived back in China. I think any Old Chefusian’s heart would have been stirred to witness the welcome given at the Front Gate of the C.I.M. Headquarters to our Headmaster and to Mrs. Houghton, Felicity and Josephine— not only by those of us who knew them, but by many small boys and girls who had never seen them before. That day, June 16th, 1947, is undoubtedly one of the School’s...”

“...October, 1947. “ Mr. Houghton and Miss Broomhall are hoping to fly to Ruling on Monday (13th October) to see what is being done by Gordon Conway in repairs ; they will give instructions and return (D.V.) at the end of the week. Air-bookings are not easy to get just when wanted. Mr. R. E. Thompson is trying to get to Chefoo just now ; National Forces captured Chefoo and Wei-hai-wei last week, and the Government has invited the Missionary Societies with premises there to send representatives to take over. We are interested to know what will be the conditions found there. The sea (Chefoo’s principal attraction in the past) is now a liability and trouble all through the summer, since Chefoo has learned to bathe. The projector you gave us is a gem ; it is already proving its value, a fine machine. The old projector used for so long in the Memorial Hall, and twice taken from us by the Japanese, and used all through Temple Hill and Weihsien, has survived all its adventures ; I unpacked it recently from...”

However her efforts and ours were wasted, for after ah hour’s polite conversation which was really a conflict of wills, we left without having accomplished our purpose, Her Royal Highness triumphantly retaining her beard. Then came a few weeks in Lucknow where I gradually became accustomed to civilization again before the crowded troopship voyage back to England, and then farewell to Army life.

“...C.S.A. MAGAZINE Will Chefoo Privileges Change ? By NORMAN H. CLIFF ONE of the many joys of life is that of looking forward. School life at Chefoo was no exception, for it was this looking forward to the class above with its harder study, greater responsibility and wider freedom, that made up for much of the inevitable monotony of term routine. Each'step from Prepite to Prefect brought new and greater privileges. Will post-war Chefoo alter these privileges ? The new boy finds himself let loose in the Prep. The suddenness, the strangeness, the loneliness of it all is largely forgotten in the thrill of having become a fully fledged Prepite. He proudly surveys his shelf in the best toy-cupboard, his allotment of blackboard space in the classroom, his hat-rack, brush-and-comb bag, a wardrobe number, school badge, and a host of other recently acquired possessions, given him in his new capacity. But soon he realizes more is ahead. Transition finds him higher up the school platform, the proud possessor...”

“...at the head of this memoir will bring back to all old scholars who were at Chefoo between the years 1889 and 1927 many stirring memories. I am certain not one reader will have any other feeling than one of gratitude though a smile will cross his face in reminiscence perhaps of his own pranks, for dear old Alty was the schoolboy’s enjoyment. He willingly lent himself to their jokings as he plodded hard to imprint and. to instil the rudiments of education. He took a pride in every success, for as he would say, “ they all passed through my hands ” and he fully believed that his own grounding had achieved the success of finals or any such in after life. Who shall say that he was wrong ? “ H.J.A.” as he often called himself, had no conception of change. Latin pronunciation might alter but not the teaching in his form. I warrant that 1927, the year that he left, was identical with 1889, the year that he arrived at Chefoo. How he bore with the din and laughter and interruptions of his class, the...”

“...who came short in this respect. To speak quite freely, I should say that the Staff found him difficult for he was hard in a rut and could not adapt himself to the preparation for the form next above should that alter one iota in its curriculum. One just left him alone although one could see a possibility of vast improvement. He could not help in any way in a higher JAMES NEVILE DUNCAN When I first heard of the sad news of Mr. J. N. Duncan’s death in July, my thoughts went back to many scenes at Chefoo in which he played a part. I saw a sturdy figure in white flannels and even whiter leg-pads on the cricket pitch dealing unceremoniously with the most venomous bowling that the Settlement side could deliver. My mind wandered to the Fourth Form classroom in the Easter holidays where a pair of grey eyes laughed form. He had become dug in to guiding the budding prepites who for a few days regarded him and his wise counsels with serious attention, overcome with awe, but soon the inevitable pranks...”

“...C.S.A. MAGAZINE from Durham University, he had behind him some teaching experience gained at Birkdale and at his own school, Monkton Combe. At Chefoo he taught almost every subject on the curriculum, specialising perhaps in French. It was to his work there, where most of us knew him best, that he gave the most vigorous years of his life. Then, in 1938, came a surprise. Mr. Duncan announced his engagement to Miss Alcie Lachlan, herself a Chefusian, but one of longer standing, whose memories of Chefoo went back to her girlhood days. Retiring from the C.I.M., Mr. Duncan returned to England the same year, carrying with him the best wishes of all Chefusians both at Chefoo and throughout the world. After their marriage the following spring, Mr. and Mrs. Duncan settled in Tunbridge Wells, where Mr. Duncan joined the staff of Rosehill School. They were there hardly two years, however, as Mr. Duncan went to King’s College, Taunton, in 1941. He was still teaching there when he was taken ill in the...”

“...deal of thought had been given to all the details, and much hard work had been done by the Committee ; our thanks must go to them once more for their forethought and able planning of the afternoon’s programme. Tea was a noisy but enjoyable interlude which gave a good opportunity for much talk. Towards the end of this social function David Barling as the new General Secretary gave out various notices, asked for suggestions regarding further reunions, reminded us about contributions to the Chefoo Schools Reconstruction Fund and read a letter from Mrs. J. N. Duncan concerning the Home Call of her husband. Reports Patsy Bruce then introduced a very pleasant subject especially in these days of austerity. First she told us that the milk and tea we had just enjoyed had come from the Australian C.S.A. Also that further contents of the parcel would be shared out between those present. Patsy had devised a very sound scheme of “ casting lots ” for the remainder of the eatables in the parcels. A bowl...”

“...newspapers, as was my job at C.B.S. last Spring, I ran across a picture of two young ladies perched on innumerable pieces of-baggage ; the background obviously a ware house. The name Stanley Houghton under the picture caused me to do a quick double take, turn back and read the whole article. It was not surprising that the arrival of the Houghtons was like a call to the colours of Chefoo School. All those even remotely connected with “ the School beside the sea, beside the sea,” assembled at the Faculty Club of Columbia University and proceeded to reminisce, in a very Chefysian manner, over our own peculiar period of association with the Old School. The guiding spirit of the whole assembly was Mr. Carrington Goodrich—Plug— we owe him a lot of credit. Mr. Goodrich called the meeting to order and asked that each one introduce himself—vital statistics and claim to fame. It was quite evident in only a few moments that the Chefusians there assembled were a superior lot. John Hayes gave a short resume...”

San Francisco, 15th June, 1947. Our Chefoo Reunion took place at the home of Mrs. E. W. Larsen (nee Horne) on June 15th, Foundation Day. We had planned the Reunion so as to welcome Miss Margaret T. Cameron who expected to be in San Francisco at that time en route for China. Sad to say our guest of honour was delayed by a Bay Shore Shipping Strike and the ship docked in San Francisco on June 18th. A big cake adorned the festive board with “ Chefoo Reunion ” in pink and white icing. We chatted, discussed, asked questions. We signed cards for Mr. F. McCarthy and Eva, Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Bruce and for Miss E. A. Shepperd, and finally a card for our absent guest, Margaret Cameron. I thought of our Saturday prayer for the older children of ...”

Croydon just a year now, and during that time have had the pleasure of welcoming into membership one of the earliest Chefoo scholars, MRS. FULLER (nee DULCIE MILLEY, 1888) who well remembers Dr. Hudson Taylor, Dr. Douthwaite, Mr. Judd and other C.I.M. pioneers. We also meet missionaries and friends of the Mission at a C.I.M. monthly prayer meeting, which has been Started recently at our church. S.ome from Chefoo are among them, such as MRS. HOWARD BIRD, DR.

“...The London Electric Wire Co., and Smiths’ Ltd., of Leyton. I still like the work very much and find plenty to do now, especially as the winter is approaching. To keep myself up-to-date in nursing affairs I attend a monthly discussion meeting at The Royal College of Nursing. Then as a hobby I am taking ten lessons in dressmaking. This fills up one evening a week and I hope will prove useful in these days of clothes rationing. Anyone who was at Weihsien may remember TOM BROOMFIELD, the son of the Chefoo Lighthouse keeper. I have discovered he works as a machine operator in the same factory as myself.” HILDA BRISCOE hoped to sail for Peru under the Evangelical Union of South America on October 9th by the Reina del Pacifico. This ship was badly damaged by an explosion on a trial trip and Hilda is now indefinitely delayed. At present she is helping at Mount Hermon Bible College.

“...after spending seven months as a resident M.O. at the only British sanatorium in Switzerland. In September he sailed on the Queen Elizabeth to America, where he will be carrying out research in tuberculosis at the Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, amongst other places. He recently received a Temple Cross Medical Research Council Fellowship for this purpose. If his dollars hold out, he hopes also to ‘ do America ’ before returning next autumn. In writing to Howard Joyce about purchasing a Chefoo tie, he says : “ In mid-September I am off to the States to spend a year doing research, and learning the language of Boston, and an old school tie should be part of an Englishman’s equipment, I suppose. It may also serve as an introduction, for I hope to spend about three months travelling from St. John to Vancouver, and from Saskatchewan to Arizona.” WILLIAM SINTON arrived home from India on 20th September.
