“...necessary to resign from the Chairmanship of the Association. He has been its leading light since its inception 43 years ago, and has been Chairman over the whole period. He has been the backbone and mainstay of the Association through * thick and thin and it is mainly due to his steadfastness that the Association is so strong to-day. Membership is back to pre-war levels and is still rising—a healthy tribute to the ability of the Chairman to bring together all old Chefusians throughout the world. He has been of great help, not only to the Committee, throughout the past years, in many ways, but also to Junior members of the C.S.A. who have come to him for advice. No one can gauge the time and energy which he has put into the Association
except perhaps his wife, who has had to be bereft of his company for many evenings.
We all owe a great deal to him and it is a very meagre honour which we give him by making him a Vice-President of the Association. However, we do know that he will always be ready...”

“...time. It is mainly through the energy of Branch Secretaries that the Association has been knit so well together, and in fact, exists to-day. Thank you, Branch Secretaries, for your assistance during these past seven difficult years.
I will miss the happy contacts made with C.S.A. Members worldwide, but my thoughts will be with the Association and my assistance, if needed at any time, will be available to the G.S.A.
As I have already mentioned, my
successor is well versed in C.S.A. matters, and I know will be of great assistance to the Association. Beresford Weller is known to many and I am confident that he will steer the affairs of the Association along the right lines, and will carry out his duties as well as, if not better than, past General Secretaries.
I have only one further point to make, and that is to let all members know that a New Zealand Branch has been formed. We welcome this new Branch into the Association, and hope that under the able Secretaryship/Treasurership of Mrs. Doris...”

“...the boys and girls to choose all the items for an evening, and a
delightfully varied programme was the result. On August 1st a treat not easily forgotten was a violin recital by Mdlle. Valesby, accompanied by Mdm. Valesby-Heinrich. The Schdol Orchestra by this time consisted of eight violins, two ’cellos, a trombone and silver trumpet.
Though unrelated to the above it is a pleasure to record that at the end of this year the total membership of the Great •Britain Branch of the Chefoo Schools Association was 441. Its steady growth is worth noting. In 1930 it had 130 members ; in 1932 it had 200 ; in 1934, 280 ; in ’937, 347 ; i? 1938, 39° ; and the climax was 441 this year, 1939.
In spite of the unfavourable weather during the summer holidays exceptionally good Children’s Special Service Mission meetings were conducted, chiefly by visitors to the Compound.
One of Chefoo’s most severe storms struck the port at the end of August. The bathing sheds collapsed completely, the bathing raft was lifted...”
