“...I feel that not many of our present members can have any real interest in any part that I may have played in the history of the C.S.A. Therefore, I must start with what is uppermost in my mind as I pen these lines and that is to express my great gratitude to God for what Chefoo and the C.S.A. have meant to me throughout my life. The fellowship I enjoyed with Old Chefusians in the Association was, I know, a steadying influence to me in my early post-school days and the memory of many friendships formed through the C.S.A. is very precious to me. It has been a great privilege to have been of some service to the Association. As I look back over the last forty-one years I remember with pleasure the many happy Reunions, Chefoo week-ends and Chinese Chows we have had, and on what a grand scale they were in the 1930’s when there was a steady stream of new members from the Schools. Now I leave the Committee confident that the affairs of the Association are in the hands of a devoted band of members...”

“...than that of the Spirit of the C.S.A. which he personified. So it was in Committee. He brought to the Chair authority founded on experience, wisdom developed in over forty years on the Committee and in holding every post in the C.S.A., intense loyalty to the memory and traditions of Chefoo and to the C.S.A., and an equally intense devotion to the Master he served. In spite of the wealth of talent that is clearly distributed among members of the C.S.A., it is not easy to find someone who is willing to devote time to the C.S.A. who also has an aptitude for committee work and who lives near London. We were fortunate indeed that such a one had recently joined the Committee. The Rev. Joseph H. Liversidge was at Chefoo from 1930 to 1938, and is now the Secretary of the Japan Evangelistic Band. We are very grateful to him for his willingness to take over from Howard Joyce, and are bappy that our affairs remain in the hands of one who will see this task as an opportunity to serve the highest interests...”

“...disappointments. There was always a warm welcome, expressed with typical Chinese politeness, for any who called at his door. At Chefoo reunions he enjoyed meeting the various ones and who, having heard his inimitable reproductions of Chinese calls, could ever forget them and the nostalgic feelings they evoked ? Not permitted to see his own child grow to maturity, he took all children to his heart and they returned that affection. His heart kept young in spirit even when it aged physically and young folk felt a kinship. To sum up briefly and therefore inadequately, Jack Tomkinson was one who loved with a great love his Lord, the Chinese, the Mission, and Chefoo and his fellow Chefusians. Our sympathy goes to the one who was his true helpmeet in all his life and work and to the other members of his family. Mr. J. Wesley Tomkinson was born in Yunnan and educated at Chefoo. During igo2, Jack was sitting at the same table as three of the thirteen boys who died of food poisoning. He felt that in ...”

“...ends meet. Though we had to dip a little into our reserves this past year, we are still ambitious enough to want to maintain our magazine as at present, rather than turn out a cheaper news-letter, so that further calls on our small reserve funds must be expected. Ties, pin badges and blazer badges are still available for G.B. members direct from the Treasurer; for others, please order through your Branch Secretaries.

“...August—a new Mission venture. SIBELLE continues at Guy’s Hospital where she is a pharmacist. GILLIAN still enjoys infant teaching at St. John’s, Holloway Church School. MICHAEL is a part-time market researcher and travel agent. PETER MURRAY writes: “Our daughter, Ruth, is at Clarendon School with quite a few other ‘ Chefoo ’ kids from the Far East. MISS STARK is her form mistress. ‘ Chefoo ’ in Malaya seems to be expanding and they expect an influx in August when we are due back in Malaya.” DAVID PARRY writes: “ A few weeks ago I had a surprise meeting in the bank with a man who turned out to be a retired captain of Jardines. He well remembered taking school parties from Chefoo in the pre-War days. Our big news at the moment is that our eldest son, Stephen, has been chosen as one of three scouts to represent this district at the World Scout Jamboree in Greece this August.” MRS. KATIE PARRY writes: AGNES CLARKE and I are sharing a pleasant and convenient little flat in the charming village...”

“...WANDA (HAZELTON) HUMBLE (in Borneo with her family), EVAN HUGHES, JOAN (CROFT) WARD’S three sons (such charmers), and both Chefoo and Ruling Guide Companies. Having now patented a way of putting up pictures as they come, I could wish others had been treated similarly, so that memory would never be allowed to forget—albums are only second best.” DORIS ROUSE writes: “ OLIVE and I have bought a maisonette and are looking forward to moving into it on June 5th. Our address from that date will be 52A Fox Lane, Palmers Green, London, N.13. My father, Mr. Albert Rouse, is retiring from Midler’s Homes at the end of June and will be going to live with Beresford and Muriel Weller at Harlow.” DR. A. G. SMITH, of 279 Farnham Road, Slough, writes: “ In July, 1962, I attended a three-day Reunion in Edinburgh of the Edinburgh 1937 medical graduates. There I met Bernard and Robert Walker and Niel Pedersen. It was a very memorable occasion—all the more so because of the opportunity of meeting these three...”

“...mechanical training for that service.” ARTHUR ALLEN, Ben Lippen School, R.R., 4 Ashville, North Carolina, U.S.A., writes: “ My wife and I are house parents on the junior boys’ floor. She is house keeper and I am on maintenance. This is a Christian high school of 116 boys and girls. Half of them are missionaries’ children. We like it here; it’s our fourth year. DOROTHEA FOUCAR is also here. She is the school nurse, and doing a fine job keeping the boys and girls well. Our daughter, GRACE (left Chefoo in 1941), is now Mrs. THOMAS GYORI. She, with her husband and three children, are now at the Spanish Language School in San Jose, Costa Rica. They expect to go to Guatemala under the Presbyterian Board. Our youngest daughter, ROSALINE (left Kuling in 1951), is a pharmacist at the University of Michigan health service in Ann Arbor Mich. She also works with the international students at the university.” A news item in a Brooklyn, New York, paper: “ Mrs. RUTH (IRWIN) BIER was born and spent her...”

“...yard for grass, flowers and vegetables, we hope, this spring and summer. I rode with MORRIS up north and was able to visit two of my sisters, who did not go to Chefoo. MARGARET says she’ll be back in the U.S.A. from Africa in 1964 for a short furlough. She still loves her work in the Cameroons, West Africa. She’s busy with teaching young nurses and with her Sunday School work too. I am still at the same Neurological Hospital, but have occupational and recreational duties now instead of nursing. It is very interesting and stimulating.” Of the COSTERUS family, KATHERINE (COSTERUS) QUILTY, 4031 Datcho Drive, San Diego, 17, California. U.S.A., writes: “ My mother spent some weeks with us this winter and while here, Mrs. BEATRICE (ANDERS) SIBLEY, a Chefusian who also lives in San Diego, came out and we had a good time talking about Chefoo, pupils and teachers.” CHRIS COSTERUS and his wife and five children have been home on furlough in Toronto from Formosa for a year. CHRIS has done a good deal...”

“...ahead of my time at Ghefoo, but a grand old friend) and his son, LESLIE (contemporary with me at Chefoo). They now live in Saskatoon, where we have had good Chinese chow together and chatted over old times. G.R’s anecdotes and choice sayings from the Chinese sages are a source of constant enjoyment. I have not yet had a chance to look up FREDERIC LAWSON, who is head of mental health organizations for the province of Saskatchewan. I get to Ontario occasionally to see my brother, MAURICE, in London, and sister, IVY MILDON, in Toronto, and ELEANOR, in Peterborough.” ERNEST GRAINGER writes more of his hitch-hiking holiday hobby, which he hopes to incorporate into a book. “ Having split my 1962 vacation to take in Founders’ week at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, my summer portion comprised a six-day visit with ALFRED CROFTS in Denver, but the balance of the comparatively short trip (3,400 miles) was full of wonderful surprises in the realm of witnessing and watching as it were from the side...”

“...gap of years has been spanned in contacts renewed with MARJORIE again and JOSEPHINE COULTHARD, both classmates. Our alert secretary arranged for a Chinese chow where nine of us met, followed by Chefoo chat in her house. C.S.A. is obviously not MARGARET BUNTING’S sole interest. We saw books, growing things in seedling boxes, Kiangsi china, a loom and finished woven articles, and heard fantastic tenant stories.” (After all, one must have some hobbies to remain sane, when the semiannual Chefoo deadline scramble finally ends. For the poor little seedlings, we can’t all have the perfect British Columbia, English, or Australian garden climate. In Toronto one has to struggle. The tenants are suppressed for the moment. Them I hold in reserve for the time when at last, the cupboard will be bare of Chefoo material. Their incredible antics may then pay off, and fill the space of an article. They really are quite remarkable. North American secretary using the editorial blue pencil and the privilege...”

“...KATHRYN LYALL and MAYBETH GRAY are both in the C.I.M., and both Chefusians, as you are aware, and I never cease to thank God for the education and Godly influence of the Chefoo schools, for myself and them.” DOROTHY (LOOSLEY) KAMBE-STAD, 1950 Woodland Avenue, East Palo Alto, California, U.S.A., contributes an interesting and valuable footnote to Chefoo history, unknown perhaps to some Chefusians—re “ Pean ”. Dorothy writes: “It was my mother, who got Mr. Willett in the B.D., to introduce peanut butter into the schools. Will you please give her the credit in the next issue of the magazine ? JEAN ‘DILLEY' WOODRING was* here yesterday. I have also talked to CLARENCE PREEDY by phone.” DR. VICTOR LOGAN, 115 Stonybrook Drive, Rochester 18, New York, U.S.A., writes: “ No special news. My sister ELSA gets around to see a lot of Chefoo school mates, including the Toronto reunions, now and again. JEAN GARDINER’S visit from Australia last summer we did enjoy, when she visited ELSA in Rochester. Sorry...”

“...C.5.J. MAGAZINE had a family reunion in Wilmington, Delaware, recently. It was at the home of another sister DOROTHY CURTIS, all of us Chefusians. My wife and I leave to visit mission work in February 1963, in India, Thailand, Hong Kong, and Korea, where our surgeon son is a Presbyterian missionary. Don’t I wish it could include Chefoo.” EDITH (HUTSON) THIRKELL, 1853 Bellevue Ave., West Vancouver, B.C. Canada writes: “ I have recently enjoyed visits from two Chefoo contemporaries, MARJORIE TULL and LILY ORR. It was wonderful to see them both. I saw MARJORIE at the Toronto Reunion in 1959, But I had not seen LILY since we met in Glasgow, Scotland, some time in the twenties. MARJORIE stayed with us for two or three days in August 1962, before going on to Vancouver Island for the rest of her holidays. Fortunately the weather was fine. OLIVE JOYCE joined MARJORIE and me in visiting various places of interest, including Stanley Park, as it was before ‘ Typhoon Frieda ’ cut great swaths of d...”

“...phone. Jean stayed with MAYBETH (JUDD) GRAY out of Philadelphia, and also visited MR. CHARLES JUDD, JEAN (ORR) MER-RELL, and LILY ORR. RUTH (DILLEY) SIMS came to the rescue in Paso, Texas, where Jean hurt her back. Also TED BANNER and family were visited in Mississippi, PHYLLIS (BANNER) WOODWORTH in Los Angeles, and JEAN (DILLEY) WOODING in San Francisco. Many times after passing through towns, Jean heard of Chefusians she had missed. Some will remember Mr. and Mrs. E. Banner from Temple Hill, Chefoo. It was primarily to visit them that Jean went to the States, and so finally to California. No Chefusians seemed to be in Honolulu or Suva ! But in Auckland, New Zealand, DORIS (ANDERSON) HOGARTH and LOIS (DAWSON) GOSLING were at the ship to welcome Jean en route back to Sydney. WIN EMBERY writes from Melbourne telling of David (a son of her brother, ERIC EMBERY) who has won a two-year scholarship, from the New Zealand Shipping Co., to study at the Thames Nautical Training College, Greenhithe...”
