“...C.S.A. MAGAZINE, No. 71 DECEMBER, J963 IN DEO FIDIMUS — NIHIL ABSQUE LABORE by Joseph H. Liver sidge, Chairman General Committee, Chef00 Schools Association THE mottoes of the Chefoo Schools, as also their objectives, have always been both divine and down to earth. This is as it should be, for we neglect either part to our own loss. With the retirement of Howard Joyce whom we so highly esteem, one feels that an era is passing in the life of C.S.A., and so there is a suitable opportunity to consider the future and to review the reasons and objectives of our association. Without any desire to fill my desk with unnecessary correspondence it would be of real interest to know what constructive ideas others may have on this important subject. A few basic observations from me, may serve to start the ball rolling. The greatness of a school lies not in what is said about it but in what its sons and daughters achieve in life. The C.S.A. can through its magazine and by its reunions publish these ...”

“...IN MEMORIAM EDWARD CECIL-SMITH, 1903-1963 D. arrived at Chefoo in 1909, and after completing his senior Oxford -*-J exams in 1918, worked with a shipping firm in Shanghai for a year. Then he went to Canada, and after a variety of jobs, finally joined the staff of the Toronto Globe and Mail, subsequently transferring to the Toronto Daily Star in the capacity of crime reporter. He obtained leave of absence from this job in 1933, and between that year and 1936 fought in the Spanish Civil War on the side of the Loyalists, eventually rising to the rank of Commanding Officer of the MacKenzie-Papineau battalion, a Canadian contingent. In 1939, at the outbreak of World War II, Ed. joined the Royal Canadian Engineers, but, much to his disappointment, was shortly forced to leave this unit because of sub-standard eyesight. Between 1940 and 1957, he edited a number of trade journals in Toronto and Montreal, working for thirteen years in the latter city for Wallace Publications, where he rose to be...”

“...C.S.A. MAGAZINE FROM CttEFOO TO NEPAL or MEDICAL WORK IN NEPAL by Dr. Katharine Young UNTIL I came to work in the Himalayas nineteen years ago, the all-time difficulty in travel I had experienced was our journey to Chefoo nearly fifty years ago. From North Manchuria beyond Harbin it took us five days. It is the winter journeys I remember most. The twenty miles by droshky or country cart to the nearest railway station at Harbin, which included crossing the mile-wide frozen Sungari river. Then the Russian railway to Changchan, and the Japanese railway from there to Port Arthur. The last night by sea in a tiny Japanese steamer, black with cockroaches, to Chefoo harbour, finishing with a perilous leap into a rocking sampan. Being a timid child, incidents in this journey left me dithering with fright and cold. Since coming to these mountains, travelling has consisted of trekking through mountain passes and across rivers in all weathers, up and down steep valleys by pony, or on my own two feet...”

“...Joseph Liversidge closed with prayer. Summer Reunion, 1963 Maxwell House For the first time since these reunions have been held at Maxwell House the weather was not fine enough to sit outside and enjoy the garden, but that in no way dampened the spirits of all who gathered. The younger ones, and all who felt sufficiently able-bodied, partook in a treasure hunt which took them all over the grounds and house. Those who managed to finish discovered that their clues spelt out the words “ Chefoo Schools’ Association ”. Tea, held in the sitting-room, was followed by the Epilogue taken by Mr. Arnold Lea, just home on furlough. After singing the School Anthem and “ The Lord’s my Shepherd ”, we dispersed to our various homes, wishing that we did not have to wait for another six months before meeting again. Winter Reunion Those present at the Chinese Chow included: David Anderson ; Olive Botham ; Pauline, Margaret and Joy Broomhall ; Margaret and Roy Gray; Oswald Guinness ; Janet Greening ; Geraldine...”

The others present who were at Chefoo during earlier periods included: Cathie Nicoll ; Betty Hewitt ; Olive Joyce : and Edith (Hutson) Thirkell. TORONTO February, 1963 There was a sound of revelry by night, When China House had gathered there The men and women trained at old Chefoo. And loud the clacking chopsticks clattered And the tongues, as all who there were present Greeted each other, and recalled With laughter or delighted smile The far-off days of long ago. The metre limps a bit, but the enthusiasm did not on the evening of Saturday, February 23rd. The Toronto Chefusians were out in almost unprecedented force, augmented by a number from varying distances: Eleanor (Gonder) Richardson from Peterborough, Ontario (75 miles);...”

“...C.S.A. MAGAZINE had a lovely holiday in the Isle of Islay in the Inner Hebrides; on our way back we saw EDIE, CATHERINE and GRACE SUMMON. Edie lives at the Balfron, near Loch Lomond, and they gave us a very happy afternoon in their home. Grace (Mrs. Minto) is kept very busy being a Minister’s wife with two grown-up children. They joined us for lunch, when all our tongues wagged nineteen to the dozen, filling in the gaps of many years. What a wonderful link Chefoo is ! My sister BEA was with GERALDINE LACK this summer on a Mediterranean Lecture Cruise.” MARGARET WELLER writes: “ My mother, Mrs. Ernest Weller, passed away in August after a very short illness. My father and I continue at Cornford House. MARY was due for furlough, but had to be flown home, a few weeks early, because of thyroid trouble. She found the trip over the Polar Route quite an experience. It took only seventeen hours from Tokyo to London. Her sunrises and sunsets became hopelessly mixed up. Now she is making a good recovery...”

“...asked if the China Inland Mission sign at the end of the lane had any connection with the Chefoo Schools. I replied that it did, and how did he know about Chefoo ? He answered that he was a product of the Chefoo schools . . . had been there nine years, and thought there wasn’t a better school in the world. We compared dates and found that we hardly overlapped. . . . He left in 1950 and I in 1929 . . . poles apart ! RALPH EISEN-STADT was his name. His father was the dentist for the Chefoo schools after Daddy Faers stopped doing teeth. RALPH is now head of the languages department in Hatboro High School, not far from here, and is coaching the soccer team in the school, and a specialist in swimming and life-saving. Shades of the Chefoo beaches. His wife was charming and friendly and told me that there had hardly been a day go by but RALPH had told her something more about the wonderful Chefoo Schools. As for our charges here, three of them graduated from high school this year and have all...”

“... his fiancee being a high school teacher in Toronto. (Isn’t that the correct way for modern graduate students to finance themselves ?) He has, during the past year, been president of the University Spanish club, and that club is reported to have had a rousing year. STEPHEN is teaching high school, and ALVIN is upholding the family and Chefoo honour at the University of Toronto, in his second year in the department of Far Eastern studies. A clairvoyant glancing into the crystal bowl should see two AUSTIN boys, some years from now, Canadian ambassadors in Russia and China respectively—keeping the peace ? Old timers will remember the CORBETT family in Chefoo. Extract from an Ohio paper sent by JOHN KAUDERER, whose sister, MARGARET (KAUDERER) ADAMS, is connected by marriage to the CORBETT family. “ The REV. CHARLES HODGE CORBETT, a retired Presbyterian missionary, teacher and editor, died here yesterday while officiating at the wedding of his grandson. He was 81 years old. MR. CORBETT taught...”

“...via the same route, that he would be delighted to (a) keep an eye on her son John; and (b) furnish an article for the C.S.A. magazine. He will be kept up to that promise. OLIVET SWALLEN (in Chefoo about 1907) has returned from mission work with the American Presbyterian Mission in Korea and Formosa, and is now living in St. Petersburg, Florida. This news comes from her nephew, REV. J. W. VOELKEL, who is director of youth work in Knox Presbyterian Church, Toronto, a church where a number of Toronto Chefusians and their families worship. Among them are: DOUGLAS MOORE, MARJORIE (MOORE) McCLEAN, GRACE SEAMAN, GRACE (TAYLOR) HARRIS. MRS. HARVEY DOBSON (nee PEARL GALLOWAY), MRS. QUELCH, MRS. CLINTON, and MRS. HANNA. KENNETH TAYLOR has resigned as deputy minister of finance for Canada. This is a grief to Chefoo payers of Canadian income tax. Somehow with KENNETH at the helm, as the gent to whom we paid them, one was a little more sure that the . . . taxes extracted were the minimum, and the uses...”
