“...2. President: REV. P. A. BRUCE Vice-Presidents: BISHOP F. HOUGHTON MR. H.F. JOYCE MR. W.D. MUDDITT PROF. CARRINGTON GOODRICH MISS E.M. BROOMHALL IN MEMORIAM JOHN FIDDLER JOHN was a very fine fellow and a real credit to Chefoo. He was active in Moody Memorial Church, Chicago for many years and was president of their choir. Then he represented General Electric in Buenos Airies and Rio de Janeiro as their Vice-President for some years. He was facile in Portuguese and expert on international finance. Later he worked with the successor company, General Electric Medical, as a senior officer in Milwaukee and lived in Waukesha, where he took a very active part in church activities. He leaves behind a fine family carrying on the same tradition. I admired him for his intellect, his warm personality, his sterling character and clear-cut Christian testimony. Somehow I feel a hole has been made in our basket of friendship. D.V. GONDER IN MEMORIAM DR. ELIZABETH INNES, M. A., M. B., Ch. B. Known to an...”

“...TAYLOR The day before the Toronto Foundation Day outing, died one of the oldest Toronto Chefusians, GARDINER TAYLOR. He had been in poor health for some years with a heart condition. Except for his years in the army in the 1st World War, GARDINER always lived in Toronto, where he successfully ran a family lumbering business. He is remembered by Chefoo contemporaries for his swimming and athletic powers. Generations of Toronto Chefusians have seen him turn out to reunions. One could always rely on GARDINER, as one of us remarked, "He was always in every sense of the word, so very much THERE.'" Our sympathy goes to his immediate family and to his Chefoo brothers and sisters, KENNETH, GRACE, HARRIS, MARION and ISABEL. H. M. B,...”

“...valuable service over a period of years. Tributes were paid to Professor CARRINGTON GOODRICH when he retired from the Chairmanship of the North America branch and with these sentiments the General Committee is glad to associate itself. No doubt he has already found a new way of giving his former schoolmates and friends his warm interest and support, which was so evident in his years in an official capacity. Miss E. MARJORY BROOMHALL has a unique record in her connection with the Chefoo Schools. She was at Chefoo from 1904 to 1951 with a break of only fourteen years. During the latter half of that period and for a further period of over ten years she was on the Committee or actively associated in some way. Since her "retirement" her phenomenal memory has served us all well as she has corrected spellings of names and other misconceptions in reading the proofs of the magazine. To both these friends we, on behalf of the Association, would like to wish many years of continued usefulness and happiness...”

“...Middx. MISS D. ROUSE MISS LUCIA MISS E. PREEDY MISS D. M. BRISCOE CHEFOO REUNION - August 23rd, 1969. The summer reunion was held at Maxwell House, Warlingham - a property the C. I. M. has recently acquired. Most of those present had not seen this splendid house and grounds before and were delighted to be shown round. It is mainly a holiday home for children of missionaries. About 40 of us turned up, some having come from the U. S. A., Canada and New Zealand. There was a distinct majority of ex-staff rather than ex-pupils, and also a great age-range. This varied from one who had only embarked upon the first few months of his allotted three-score years and ten, to at least two who had already exceeded this generous provision and who exhibited to their younger counterparts a refreshing display of timelessness. There was ample opportunity to mingle and get up to date with news. It was interesting to find the authentic ethos of Chefoo among those who had never been nearer to it than Ruling. This...”

“...Drakensburg in view for hours, and an eventual crossing of the range. Three nights with NORMAN, visits to Johannesburg, and then on to Sabie, "the Jewell of the Low Veld" in Eastern Transvaal. We spent the best of a week there, with a day in Kruger National Wild Life Park, which is unforgettable. Back again to Umbogintwini where LELIA joined us for 10 days. During the few days I spent with NORMAN before flying home again I met CALVIN COOK, his wife and four of his family. CALVIN, NORMAN and I talked Chefoo from start to finish. Early in 1970 CALVIN will move from Witwatersrand University in Johannesburg, to take up an appointment at Rhodes University, Grahamstown, as Professor of Old Testament o o Theology. And so home again with a drop in temperature from 87 to 37 at Heathrow, with snow falling. Addresses: Norman Cliff, Post Office, Enstra, Via Springs, Transvaal, S. A. Lelia Cliff, P.O.

“...9. When in Edinburgh I called in to see Dr. NEVE who loves everything to do with Chefoo and Weihsien. She has been very ill, and though somewhat better is still under restriction. If you know her be sure she loves you. She asked after so many. Her address is 26, Learmonth Court, Edinburgh, 4. Also while I was in Scotland, staying with my niece ALICE (TAYLOR) FORREST, MARY NICOLL and Ian and RACHEL (NICOLL) MORRISON came to tea. MARY was spending part of her furlough with RACHEL in Prestwick, and has since gone to Canada. RACHEL and Ian have moved to 21, Silverknowes View, Edinburgh, 4. ALICE keeps busy with her family, occasional teaching supply, and Church work. She and her husband run a Sunday Club for teenagers. Address Howiesonhall, Crossford by Carluke, Lanarkshire. The other day I met JOYCE (HARRIS) CARRUTHERS, after a period of 30 years. It was such a happy meeting and she seemed unchanged .' My address is Kendal Cottage, 1 Mayfield Road, Tunbridge Wells, Kent. Congratulations to...”

“...seem to be commuting between Australia and Rhodesia. Six of their seven daughters are now married - four live in G. B. and the others in Rhodesia. Our two sons live in Haywards Heath and Tunbridge Wells respectively and we enjoy seeing our five grand-children from time to time. While on holiday early this summer we had the pleasure of staying with CONTIE STARK for a few days and enjoyed some nice picnics and a home-cooked Chinese meal with her. It was a joy to meet some of our old friends at the Chefoo Reunion last August and only wish more could have turned up. ROSEMARY LEA married the Rev. Jeffrey Watson on September 20th in Beckenham. Her parents were able to fly over from Singapore for the wedding, the only absent member of the family being, ANNE, in Laos. We hear it was a very happy occasion .' ROSEMARY and her husband are now working at St. Jude's Church, Southsea....”

“...easy", we also have ideas to offer. BOB McMULLAN gives us news of some of his relatives and friends. He says: "My aunt, MAY CAREY (nee McMULLAN), comes over from California every year with her husband who was with A. P. C. (Shell). My cousin, JIMMY McMULLAN'S step son, BOBBY MILLER, was over here recently from Tokyo. He is with American International Underwriters. This firm was started by Neil Starr, who was married to MARY MALCOLM, daughter of Dr. Malcolm of Chefoo. Mary's nephews, DAVID and JOHN PEARSON, were of course at Chefoo. JOHN was killed in an air crash a few years ago, and DAVID works in New York City. " BOB tells us he visits that oriental concrete jungle called Hong Kong about once a year on business. He had to meet two Hong Kong Chinese recently, and from London Airport they insisted on going to London's Chinatown, Gerrard Street to the restaurant two doors away from the North China Dumpling Inn. The Cantonese food was excellent but the weather was boiling hot and BOB really...”

“...13. How well I remember my first journey to Chefoo. Coming down the Yangtse from Kiukiang to Shanghai, when the ordinary voyage took 2-3 days, I was unfortunate enough to take 10 days. There was a gale which made the trip most uncomfortable, I think most of us were seasick. Despite the penalties of Saturday afternoons spent either in extra music lessons at the Girls' School, or in the corner at the Boys' School for lost handkerchiefs, they were a fine set of Masters, whom I remember with affection even now. Mr. McCarthy, Mr. Lindsay and others, were very good to us. Of course my name is indelibly remembered as the "boy who fell off the roof." also as being with Eric Newcombe the only survivors of "the Chicken-pie disaster, which cost the lives of 13 of our school mates. Dear old Chefoo, where I first learnt to swim by being thrown overboard in deep water .' What a good way to learn, I have always loved it ever since. Now, alas, well on in my seventies, I wish good health and fortune to...”

“...catered for by the Ladies Aids of the local churches for whom Shakespeare then handsomely paid off their mortgages - a rather delightful touch. Or alternatively Shakespeare lovers can picnic by the river Avon (of course) and watch the swans glide by. The play was Measure for Measure - not exactly Chefoo fare, unless Chefoo has gone very 'modem', but well done with beautiful costumes and scenery. N. B. LILLIAN FERGUSON NODWELL'S daughter Nina has made something of a name for herself by her work hehind the scenes staging costumes in Stratford which gained her a European travel scholarship. So as with so many places and events, cultural and important, Stratford Ont. has a Chefoo connotation and our Chefoo Stratford day was a success. STRATFORD, June 14, 1969. Those present were :- MARGARET BUNTING (& two friends); HUGH & Mrs. COULTHARD ( & daughter and son-in-law); MURIEL EVANS (& three friends); LILY FRIER (nee GRAINGER); DONALD & Mrs. GIBSON (& two of their family); VIVIAN & Mrs. GONDER; Mrs...”

“...17. Roughly opposite on the globe comes a letter from MAYBETH JUDD GRAY, who with her husband is in charge of the Chefoo hostel near Philadelphia: - "So sorry to be so remiss about the C, S. A. fees. Your kindness in saying that you'd send the magazine even if I didn't pay won my heart .' So find the enclosed $2. I got the June '68 issue and thought it was just tremendous . .. suddenly so much news about everyone" (nice of you MAYBETH). Where do I begin with news of our Chefoo family? "Ruth Green (nee Toliver) announced the birth of her first child in February, a son. She lives with her husband Ralph Green in Dayton Tenn. RUTH TOLIVER graduates with honors this June from Michigan State University. KATHY TOLIVER is a freshman in Geneva College, Beaver Falls, Penns.

PHILIP COX and his wife live in Lookout Mt. , Tenn, while PHILIP finishes his course at Covenant College. JOHN and Karen COX...”

“...18. had the KIDDER books on Japanese art. His instant reply (acid? humourous?) "Of course. On Chefoo we aim to be definitive". Well perhaps the North American secy does rather boast of her Chefoo connection. The same librarian-in-charge recently phoned MARGARET BUNTING at her Gifts and Exchanges desk "Can you translate some Latin - Fons sapientiae verbum dei ?" She could and the next internal mail delivery brought formally addressed from Fine Art to Gits and Exchanges, a Chefoo prize book The Monastery which turned out to be a twin of Quentin Durward that she owned. This, the Fine Art librarian had picked up for 10 / on one of his second hand book store hunts. Unfortunately the flyleaf with the winner's name had been torn out. In its place this puckish Fine Art librarian had pencilled in To Thornton for a good try in English Composition. Apologies to THORNTON WILDER our distinguished author. Yes perhaps the North American secy had been rather name dropping. From MORRIS P. BURKWALL, 2073...”

“...GLASS. (I haven't bothered with all the married names). Do you lack addresses or news on any of these from 1926? My husband is the executive secretary of the Foreign Mission Board, Southern Baptist Convention - since 1954. " Extract from the Canadian Baptist: "MR. W. E. COOPER (4557 Sherbrooke Street, West, Westmount, Montreal 215 P. Q. ) was presented with an oil painting to mark retirement after 40 years as secretary of the Board of Trustees of Westmount Baptist Church". He was at Chefoo from 1895-1900; left Chefoo after his father was killed in the Boxer rising. JOHN CROFTS writes : "We visited ALFRED in Denver; also VERNA and SAIMA in Palatka, Florida. VERNA hopes that LILY ORR will come and stay with her after LILY'S retirement. SAIMA covers considerable territory visiting her four small grand-children. Ex-taipan CHARLIE BUTLAND keeps very busy with his herd of fine cattle. Neither his wife nor his two grown children were at home when we called. " From DONALD GIBSON : "We leave (Aug. 25)...”

“...We will be more than delighted if any old Chefusians in that area for work or play look us up. This had better include a formal resignation from the C. S. A. committee, of which I have been a member, too often in absentia. " (but valuable nevertheless. Secy. ) Extracts from a letter from JOE DUNLAP, our North American chairman: "Change of address, Apartment 1WR, 242 West 104th Street, New York, N. Y. 10025 .... Though not a Chefoo student, but doubtless known to some, my father Dr. Robert W. Dunlap, of the Temple Hill Hospital from 1914-1927, and father of four Chefoo scholars, (my youngest sister missed attending), might rate a note in the Newsletter upon his death on July 23, in Rochester, Minnesota, where he'd been with the western portion of the family for over two years. He was nearly 85 years old, mind was alert but otherwise completely helpless and could barely be understood when he spoke. It was a release for him after a long and useful life. FRANCES, my sister, and I were fortunate...”

“...Start" and teaching in New Haven Conn. Your memories of my Father (Mr. Alty of the B. S. ) touched me, I still have happy thoughts about him in Chefoo. Among my Chefoo snapshots I came across one of a kitchen shower we gave for your sister GRACE (TAYLOR) HARRIS, where I was dressed up as a maid with a broom. The others were, I think, COWELL TAYLOR, FLOSSIE DOHERTY, CLARENCE PREEDY, ELAINE ANDREWS and another boy, EDGAR.. .. and your sister. I have pictures of the final tennis and boating crews (1925), and also of the staff, including EVA McCARTHY. We loved sitting in her little bedroom while she enchanted us with Sir Galahad, and other poetry. " Extracts from an interview with MARGARET in her local paper: "She remembers the gracious living and the quiet and orderly life, a far different picture of China from the one we have today. The house in Chefoo was a large one, standing near the sea. The family would swim every day before breakfast. There were, of course, no automobiles and in order...”

“...22. would be on the moon. I remember in 1944-45 in concentration camp, we produced a fantasy program featuring a flight from outer space arriving in our camp. Now that fantasy is reality. I heard from friends in Shawnee, Oklahoma that Mary West about whom I wrote recently, (Some of her family went to Chefoo, her parents being Southern Baptist missionaries in Shantung), had died this spring, brain tumour. MARY CULPEPPER WALKER who was at Chefoo in the late '30's has returned to Japan with her husband, also Southern Baptist. " An article in the Japan Times gives news of TED KIDDER, head of art history at International Christian University in Japan: "When Professor KIDDER wrote his dissertation on Jomon Pottery of Japan in 1956, he left out one archaeological site, Minami Kajino Shinden, because he could not find it on the map. This very spot, ironically, soon became his destination.... The campus of International Christian University. It has been fabulously rich ground for archaeological...”

“...23. From ROSEMARY LUMM (nee ADENEY) "Arrived on the west coast the day before Easter and had a lovely family reunion. The first time in seven years that we've all been together. Then MICHAEL and MIRIAM were married. They're back in the Philippines". Rosemary is a missionary with the OMF in the Philippines. MIRIAM MOORE WOFFORD writes: "I attended Chefoo schools from 1929-1936, earned B.A. andM.A. degrees from Baylor University in Texas and have taught English. My husband is a patent attorney who has his own law firm in Fort Worth. We have three daughters and two sons. The oldest was married last year; she teaches English.

“...still on the map .' ) They have three children. " At long last, there appears to be room for REGINALD UNGERN's news article of two years ago. Most of us may have lived useful enough lives, but his seems so delightfully different and exciting, some of the excitement stemming from the Chefoo connection. "I was bom REINHOLD FREIHERR VON UNGERN -STERNBERG which is quite a mouthful for the Anglo Saxon, so in '42 before enlisting in the army of the United States, I legally abbreviated it to UNGERN, which to us in the family is by far the more important part. The length of that name while presenting no problem in Germany, where I was born (quite the contrary, in fact .' ) gave me endless trouble in school at Chefoo and also in this country. Since there are no other families by the name of 'Ungem' to whom we are not related at least distantly, I had fewer qualms about abbreviating the name. Since you are an old China hand, you may recall a distant cousin of mine, a 'Roman Ungem' who was an officer...”
