“...C.S.A. MAGAZINE No. 53 JULY, 1954 General Committee Notes TWO Chefoo stalwarts have recently J- finished their course—Mr. Frank McCarthy, Headmaster from 1895-1930, and the Rev. H. A. H. Lea, a member of the Staff from igo6-igi6. Tributes to their great services to the Schools will be found in this magazine, and on behalf of the whole C.S.A. I would like to assure the members of both families of our sympathy in their loss. The Chairman of the C.S.A., Howard Joyce, was able to attend Mr. McCarthy’s funeral, and was privileged to say a few words on behalf of Old Chefusians, expressing our gratitude to God for the life and work of a great Headmaster. Several changes on the General Committee must be mentioned. Kathleen Strange has resigned from her position as News Editor, as she is going to Canada, and Mary Hoyte has been appointed to succeed her. I have also been obliged to resign from the Committee on being appointed Rector of Holy Trinity, Norwich, as the distance from London will prevent...”

“...where he graduated in 1911. From Wooster he won the coveted . honour of a Rhodes Scholarship which took him to Oxford University, England for three years. He was an allround athlete, excelling in tennis and rowing, and was captain of the crew of Merton College when they won a coveted place in the races, and he was awarded the oar he had used as a trophy. And now he was back in China to be a missionary. How we all marvelled ! So, to all the three hundred or so children in these very separated schools at Chefoo—“Boys”, “Girls” and “Prep”, John came back as a hero, a symbol of what any Chefooite might become. We gals in the circumspect “ Girls’ School ” talked of nothing and nobody else for days, especially after we gleaned the final and far the most important item of all, that he was very tall and handsome. I am afraid that none of us had eyes for any of the boys after that, even the exalted prefects ! Before long, by some freak of chance, I was asked to “ baby-sit ” with Margaret Hayes, then...”

“...C.S.A. MAGAZINE That Oxford trophy oar of Dr. Hayes’ could tell quite a story—if only oars could tell stories. For many years it adorned his study in Peking. Then he decided to present it to the Chefoo Schools, where it was prized so highly that it was carefully taken along on their many migrations to various parts of China and India. Finally, when forced to flee for their lives, some kind C.I.M. missionaries rescued the oar and took it all the way to America. It is once again home in Dr. Hayes’ study in Washington D.C. Now Dr. Hayes has come home to America after three years under the Chinese Communists, much of that time actually in jail. He reminds one vividly of his own missionary father and also of mine. Perhaps it is the venerable beard. He is a hero again and upholding a great tradition. This undaunted warrior has a deep desire to return to the Orient to work among the Chinese with whom he is so much at home. Meanwhile he is fulfilling a heavy speaking schedule for the Presbyterian...”

“...C.I.M. Prep Schools A REQUEST has been received for books suitable for children up to ten years of age to form a Children’s Library, to be sent to Miss R. Elliott, who is starting a C.I.M. Overseas Missionary Fellowship Prep. School at Tagatay, Philippines. Dr. Judd, to whom the request was made, suggests that the schools at Bangkok (Thai- land), Karuizawa (Japan) and Ringlet (Malaya) would also like books. He says, “ If our alphabet were divided into four parts, and those whose surnames began with letters in each part sent books to one school, there might be a fair distribution ”. They might be addressed to: Overseas Missionary Fellowship Preparatory School, Tagatay, Bangkok, Ringlet, or Karuizawa. Kuala Kumpur Reunion Back Row, starting from left: Peter Murray (’33-40), now of the C.I.M., stationed at Kalumpang, Selangor; G. P.

“...C.S.A. MAGAZINE New Zealand Way Backs By MARJORIE RICHARDSON WEBSTER VER since the days when Miss Taylor ■*-J told us about her experiences in the Canadian Back-block Schools, I have had a distinct weakness for way-back places. So when my husband and I were looking for a new position we immediately applied for a school advertised as having no road, no electricity, and an outboard motor-boat supplied by the Department. Another attraction was its position. On the Hokianga Harbour far north of Auckland, it was in unexplored territory as far as either of us was concerned, and it was also reputed to be winterless. After freezing in the high country of the very centre of the North Island we were very pleased to hear we had made the grade and were to start in February. We had no little difficulty in finding the place. Later we learned that Moehau was the name of the school only, the district being Whirinaki and the Post Office Poranui, somewhat confusing to strangers, we found. When we finally...”

“...pictures are remote things they have heard about, but seldom or never experienced. A spelling lesson often turns into a general knowledge lesson, and a page from the reading book has a vocabulary of a dozen words to be learned and explained before they can start to read it. But they love to be informed. I often tell them of Chefoo and the snows we had; the Chinese, and experiences of travelling home. We have found them very receptive to Scripture stories. Being so isolated we take our own Bible-in-schools programme. They will never let the day for Scripture begin without enthusiastic demands for stories about Jesus. We were surprised to find how much of their traditional superstition they have still retained. They are still genuinely fearful of omens and taboos. For instance, Meohau is named after an ancient taniwha or water monster, and a cave near-by, reputed to be his dwelling, is still avoided by the natives. The children all speak Maori at home. Some of their parents are unable to write or...”

“...welcome; and there I had the chance of meeting more Chefusians, for it was they who convened a C.S.A. Reunion which was greatly enjoyed. The 19th of September found all the local Chefusians gathered at 120 Princes Road, and when assembled we were surprised to find how, many of us there were available in that one place. There was Colin Marshall, Fern King Geare, Elisabeth Stewart Houston, Gertrude MacIntyre Carter, Kenneth Price, Percy Moore, Peter Murray and myself who had all been in the Chefoo Schools for longer or shorter periods, and Miss H. G. Henderson, Miss Cobb, and Miss Annette Harris who had been on the Staff at different times. We felt it was quite a good gathering for short notice in a capital town in South East Asia. We all enjoyed the usual reminiscing and I don’t know how often we used the words ‘ do you remember when . ...’ ! Mrs. Moore had provided an ample tea, to which it was difficult to do justice when conversation flowed so continually, but of course Chefusians never found...”

“...or woe, start the traditions on which the school will run. I have four other women to organize, more-or-less full-time, for Bible lessons, and some dozen or so casual helpers for odd lessons. That is the real problem of the job. The four are keen and know just what the opportunity is, the dozen others are mainly concerned with their own departments. I shall have to use great tact and persuasive powers to get the syllabus taught as I feel it ought to be. I inherit 200 S.U. members from other schools who are being drafted into Kidbrooke, and we ought to be able to run a huge S.U. Branch with all sorts of outlets. Rowland is still at Throwley House and is at the top of his next to scholarship class, though he is only just seven. It sounds silly but they wondered what to do with him, and that is the solution it seems. He is to go to Eric Liddell’s old school, when we move to London—Eltham College— where he can later try an L.C.C. Scholarship to the same (Senior) School. Joe still runs Rochester...”

“...her eyes on the mission field under the C.I.M. ELAINE DAVIS is in high school in London, Ontario, in Grade XI. From JOE DUNLAP: “Not much news from these parts; a usually busy year. Last August we spent the night at the summer home of LOIS ABBOTT EVANS in Hammond, N.Y., near the St. Lawrence. She and her husband live in Florida during the winter. Their son and daughter are now in Wooster College. A few weeks ago I talked with MRS. NORWOOD ALLMAN who as MARY LOUISE HAMILTON attended the Chefoo Schools some years ago. She expressed interest in seeing the News Letter when I told her of it. Her husband was a judge in Shanghai for many years. ELEANOR BOOTH had a serious operation this winter. She had to leave her job in Washington, D.C., and is now with her parents in Whittier, California ”. JOSEPHINE COULTHARD contributes an item about KENNETH EVANS, now Bishop of Ontario. “ I don’t know how many of you were at St. Paul’s Church (Toronto) yesterday afternoon, but it certainly was KENNETH EVANS’s...”

“...in Seattle, and doing very well. He has been picked to sing tenor solos, and he also plays the organ and piano. He will teach history and physical education as well as music. I am finding a little time at last for my favourite hobby of painting and hope to take a course in it next winter. But my chief preoccupation next to the church is presbyterial work. I am field secretary for the Negro work in the southern states, and last spring had the wonderful luck to be sent down to visit the Negro schools, so that I could tell about them from first hand, and hence I have been speaking with pictures hither and yon this past year on the Negroes.” Further about the Goforths. FRED,, who is assistant director of chaplain services, Canadian active army, was awarded the degree of D.D. by Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, in 1953, and later spent some months with the Canadian forces in Korea. (From other sources we hear that he is a most successful and well liked chaplain.) ELEANOR GONDER RICHARDSON...”

“...is in her second year of nurse’s training at Riverside Hospital, Newport News. LOIS has finished her first year in high school and did well in her exams. GRACE has graduated from high school and is expecting to go to Wheaton College in September. From MOLLY SPRINGER a plaintive, but how familiar a note. “ I would dearly love to join the association. But my present financial status does not allow. I am a high school senior this year. ‘ Seattle Christian ’ is more reasonable than many private schools, but it still costs a pretty penny. This summer when I work and have some spending money . . . maybe. Until then I can’t.” Of the WHITTLESEYS from FRED, “ Nothing to contribute at present. My brother ALBERT, however, had a nice step-up not long ago, to senior vice-president, Pennsylvania company for Banking and Trusts.” AUSTRALIA JOHN TOMKINSON writes, “After being ‘ out of commission ’ for four months, I am very thankful to be fit again, in fact better than I have been for some years. I am grateful...”

“...and the whole affair went off well. John and Agnes now have a flat in Christchurch not far from the Public Hospital where John is a House Surgeon ”. BRYAN TAYLOR is taking an extra year at High School in preparation for an engineering course at University College next year. He has been nominated for a prefect in this the largest boys’ school in the city (Auckland), and he expects to be in the 1st Hockey XI. Both PHYLLIS and BRYAN have been appointed Junior Crusader Leaders in their respective schools. PHYLLIS passed her exams well and is continuing at High School taking a Science course. BARRY attends the same school and is in his second year. MURRAY is at the nearby Primary School. Mrs. Taylor writes, “ All four are interested in boating as their home is by the sea. A 12 ft by 7 ft yacht keeps them busy sailing in summer and painting and repairing all winter ! The whole family enjoyed seeing the Queen and the Duke but BRYAN had the best view when, as a member of the Sea Cadets, they formed...”
