IN MEMORIAM
MISS MADELINE PHARE
Word has just come of the passing of MISS MADELINE PHARE on November 10, 1969, after a very short illness. MISS PHARE worked at the Girls' School, leaving in 1931 to care for her mother. Our sincere and prayerful sympathy to MISS INEZ PHARE and her brother at this time. They live at 33 Byng Road, Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
IN MEMORIAM
ALBERT ROUSE
Many members of the Chefoo Staff and Schools will recall gratefully the home of Mr and Mrs. ALBERT ROUSE. What happy memories we have of times spent at "Eastfield" during a week-end or on a holiday. We remember their very generous kindness, quiet humour and Christian graces. Their tennis court was the rendezvous for many occasions of carefree relaxation as well as the more professional games of the men's doubles. The quiet graciousness shown on the tennis court characterised ALBERT ROUSE to the end of his life. In days of sorrow and gladness he maintained a peaceful serenity due to real trust in his Master.
On August...”

“...given 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...”

“...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 can be put down to the continuity of staff.
It follows that the future will be a diminishing asset unless, as is to be devoutly hoped, the younger generations of ex-Chefoo and subsequent schools support future reunions. Robert Joyce from Canada made this point forcibly and was hopeful that, with more effort on our parts, we could swell our numbers.
Miss Pyle took the epilogue with the theme "God is still on the throne", referring to various crises experiences in China and subsequently. We thanked Mr. and Mrs. Gaussen and their willing staff of helpers who both provided and served the excellent tea.

“...What has come established as Toronto's annual Foundation Day outing, took on a new slant this year. We had the usual bus load, but instead of heading for some Ontario beauty spot we decided on culture, and took in a matinee at the Stratford (Ontario) Shakespeare Festival. Not surprising, since VIVIAN GONDER our Toronto chairman was one of the organizers and that was where he started his career.
Stratford Ont., has always been Shakespeare conscious, the surrounding hamlets, streets and all local schools bear exclusively Shakespearean names. So perhaps it was only natural that a local citizen should have some years ago, adventurously started this ambitious Shakespeare project, which has now blossomed into a full fledged summer long attraction. Incongruity piled on incongruity, Shakespeare complete with trumpet fanfare in an avant garde theatre, all in the most uncompromisingly rural Ontario setting. All the best people turn an honest buck by taking in tourists in a highly supervised and organized...”
