“...here, and learn a lot socially and spiritually.
Because of the number of different schools, activities are quite varied. Wheaton is quite “ sports crazy ”, and so college and high school football games are frequently attended. “ Youth for Christ ” is an active organization in the high school and the junior high. Various other church and school activities such as parties, band concerts or young people’s meetings fill the week-ends. There is never a dull moment, but we love it !
Day by day God does exceeding abundantly above all that we could ask or think. He did the exceeding abundant when He gave us this house, for it fits our needs so perfectly. He continues to do the exceeding abundant in our lives and in the lives of the children.
When we gather in the dining-room, we are a family of twenty-five—a family that eats ten pounds of potatoes for dinner and wears 161 pairs of socks a week ! Five different schools are represented. This fall RAYMOND FRAME is the only grade school pupil. RUTH TOLIVER...”

“...from every continent in the world. Some are from India, Africa, Japan, Australia, Europe, and several from South America. The larger percentage are from North America. There are about the same number of students from the United States as from Canada. The elementary school is mostly children from local Christian homes.

The high school starts around the beginning of October (a month later than ordinary public schools) and is dismissed halfway through June. Grades nine and twelve have examinations till the end of the month. These exams are sent out by the Province and do not have to be taken by American students.

“...Chefusian infant was born on June 5th, Ruth Kathleen, to MARGARET DEWDNEY (n6e JACKSON). Stephen, her brother, aged two-and-a-half, thinks she is the cats-whiskers ! Stephen has learnt a word from his Granny very reminiscent of the Prep, school. Anything that’s dirty or that he doesn’t like, he points to it and says, “ Eash ! ” PETER JACKSON is still at school.
When the vicar of the church Margaret now attends heard that she had been to Chefoo, he said that it was one of the best-known public schools in England—only it wasn’t in England !

“...old friends from China, and what a lot these unexpected visits mean to them both at Liphook.
DAVID LANDSBOROUGH is still at his post in Changhua, Formosa. He and his wife Jean and the twins, David and Donald, hope to have a furlough in either ’56 or ’57.
REV. ALBERT LUTLEY sends news of his family. “ I have no particular news except of my family, and none of them, except MARY, is really a Chefusian. She is still teaching in Oxted Grammar School. During this summer she was adjutant at an S.C.M. Schools Camp at Ross-on-Wye. In her Easter holidays she went for a brief visit to Greece and Crete with three other friends.
“ BETH finished her nurse’s training at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital, and is now a staff nurse there. She expects to go to Edinburgh in the spring for her midwifery.
“JOHN goes up to Cambridge at the beginning of October to my old College, St. John’s. He spent most of his National Service in Germany after he had passed out from Mons in the spring of 1954. He was posted to a Light...”
