“...the Mi ssi on.
So the two-day journey was soon over, stopping at Weihaiwei and then into the harbour at Chefoo; and I had arrived at the place to which for so many years I had been looking forward .

Compiled from extracts selected by the editor of the Chefoo Magazine, with the gracious permission of the author, Mr. Gordon Martin, from the man user i pt of his unpub I i shed autobiography .
Mr. Martin has received strong encouragement from among the members of the Association to write an account of the China years in the history of the Chefoo Schools. He has said he is willing to try, but, to assist him in the task, he would very much appreciate receiving any and all reminiscences of the Schools in China, particularly before 1929, from Chefusians.

TORONTO BRANCH DINNER
— Saturday —
(February 22, 1986)
The Chefoo Schools Association, Toronto Branch, met at China House on February 22, 1986, at 12:30 p.m. The weather was favourable, and there was a record attendance of some ,40. Those in charge were most instructive in giving out name tags, receiving our dinner price and collecting our membership fees.

“...TORONTO'S FIRST REUNION!
(November 15, 1913)
At last! The first Chefoo reunion in Canada has taken place, and forthwith passes into the history of the Association.
Early in November, invitations were circulated by Mr. and Mrs. H.J.D. Naftel (nee Miss Fishe), to a Chefoo reunion on Saturday afternoon, November 15th, at their home at 70, Baker Avenue. As the invitations announced a photograph at 2.30 p.m., all Chefooites in Toronto, and three members of the Association from Hamilton, were there promptly and posed for the camera shortly after the appointed hour.
Photographs over, the happy crowd started for a walk to Reservoir Park. Here the ladies entered the hothouses to view the beautiful flowers, while most of the gentlemen wandered about the Park, delivering themselves of sundry college cheers and yells. (The 'varsity men were somewhat on edge that afternoon, on account of the great Rugby match between McGill University and the University of Toronto then in progress at the Stadium.) After...”
