Schools, at Chefoo (now Yantai), at the internment
camp at Weihsien (now Weifang) 1942-45, and at
Kuling. It is interesting, however, that students at the

Sichuan, then at Kalimpong in India, have no recollection of
being part of the Chefoo School tradition. Their teachers,
hastily recruited from available missionaries, had no past
experiences as Chefusians, whether as students or teachers.

years Stanley Houghton and Gordon Martin teamed up to
add verses pertinent to Kuling, as in the official school song,
Greet we the School, or wrote a few new ones, such as The
Swimming Pool Song, both included here.
Over the years the Chefoo Schools Association produced
several small booklets of school songs, and in many years

recorded and were given limited circulation...”
