“...American and British warships were again on the spot in case they were needed, and arrangements were made in case it was necessary to leave. The Boys’ School and two other places were appointed by our consuls as places which could be defended should any attack be made. Days and months went by without any local serious disturbances. Apart from a considerable amount of curtailment in the matter of walks, etc. owing to the presence of so many Chinese soldiers in Chefoo, life on the Compound and in the schools went on as before—another instance of the Lord’s care and protection.
The School Prayer List this year contains the names of 87 boys, 89 girls and 87 Prepites, a total of 263 scholars, and 42 on the staff. As previously mentioned, these last included persons connected with the business stores, post office, tailoring, hospital, and a variety of items not
H. JUDD
required in a school in England, and also those absent on furlough.
The year 1928 was also an eventful one. A school magazine The Chefusian...”

“...Missionary Band among the boys, which had lapsed. The first sum of money contributed by it was sent to the Mission to Lepers.
In memory of two Old Boys, Paul J. Riley and Alfred S. Andrew, who lost their lives in the first World War, a pair of beautiful iron gates were presented by the Andrew and Moore families. These were erected at the entrance to the boys’ playing field and dedicated pn August 22nd.
Dr. A. Hogg, after twenty-five years of much appreciated service as Medical Officer to the schools and community, retired from Chefoo this spring. His work was . carried on temporarily by Drs. Johnston, Hillier and Golden, till Dr. J. R. Dickson, who had been in China a number of years in connection with the American Presbyterian Mission, took it on. In May, 1932, Dr. F. H. Judd relieved him to resume his work among the Chinese in the interior.
A fire in the upper floor of the Preparatory School late in the evening on March 15th, 1929, caused no little alarm to the staff, but with help from...”

“... Special Service Mission Committee. Instead of the usual sea-side meetings two House parties for the Senior boys arid girls were arranged, as well as a Rally and several meetings for the younger ones. The former were held at No. 2, Woodland Road, with Dr. and Mrs. Landsborough from Formosa acting as House father and mother. These were a thorough success but not repeated in later years.
Diverging’ for a moment from Chefoo it should be recorded that in England a new Constitution of the Chefoo Schools Association' was drawn up. This was to link up with the members in other countries, and to make the Association a world-wide organisation. Its magazine, Chefoo, was also issued in a new and improved format. This year was particularly appropriate for the reform, it being the 21st birthday of the Association, which was founded on January 29th, 1908. At the January
Reunion in London the event was celebrated in a special way ; the number 21 being introduced both into the meal and various games ;...”

“...bath cubicles, flushing lavatories and furnace.
The Girls’ School meanwhile rejoiced, after the inconveniences of destruction and building, in the more prosaic but no less desirable substitution of a new kitchen in place of the old and inconvenient one. Mr. and Mrs. Olesen kindly let them have the use of their back premises for a kitchen during the building operations. For these and many other amenities the schools were indebted to the labours of Messrs. Robertson and Olesen.
In addition to what has been already said, further mention must be made of the Christian activities in the Schools. In the Boys’ School, Band meetings were held every Wednesday in the Library, to which over 75% of the boys came. Attendance was quite voluntary, and the speakers were chosen by the senior lads. On Thursday after evening Prep, some' of the seniors gathered for a short Prayer meeting conducted by themselves. It had been suggested by Mr. Houghton about 1928. The masters also conducted several Bible classes...”

“...since patients with headaches, chilblains, colds and a hundred other complaints waited outside the dispensary for Miss Dobson’s treatment, cure, or banishment to the sick-room
with patient understanding.
Miss Dobson -came to China in 1928, and was designated to Honan. Two years later she came to Chefoo for dental treatment and eventually stayed as Matron at the Girls’ School for nearly 15 years. This service she ably performed, in the Lord’s Name, and her life was- a truly lovely one.
With the Schools she went into internment, and it was while there that she married Mr. Albert Rouse, one^who was so well known and loved around Chefoo for many years. ?
About five years ago they came to Australia to see Mrs. Rouse’s sister, and
then went on to New Zealand to visit her parents. They then went to England and settled in Bristol where Mr. Rouse has a secretarial position at the Mullers’ Homes.
Christine Heather was born in 1947, and became a treasure to her Mother, Father, and older sisters.

“...C.S.A. MAGAZINE
Elections were held after dinner. Richard Phillips was elected president ; Lawrence Olsen, vice-president ; Jack Fitzwilliam, social chairman; David Thojnas, Treasurer ; and Athene Cook, secretary.
The speaker was then introduced, Rev. Dr/‘Arthur Taylor, with all his titles, Ph.D.A. D.D., O.B.E., etc. . . . Dr. Taylor gave a short amusing account of the history of the Chefoo Schools, not forgetting to take a few pokes at Mrs. Taylor and Kathryn Kuhn.
To add variety, coloured slides on Kuling were shown as Joan Thompson gave a running commentary. Among the slides were many beautiful shots of near-by water falls and valley scenes.
Dr. Taylor closed the enjoyable evening with a short but pertinent devotional talk. Don’t you wish you had been there ? !
Chefusians present were :
Paul, Stanley and Joan Thompson, Lawrence Olsen, Elsie Jacobsen Harding, May Harding, John Fiddler, Joan Swenson Toft, Grace Allen, Mary Ruth Howes, Pearl Swenson Sarjeant, David and Rhoda Thomas, Mrs...”
