“...as internationally famous. Miss Lack herself has become a celebrity in the educational world, much sought after as a speaker: how many times lately visitors have said “Miss Lack came to speak to us and we found what she had to say absolutely thrilling!” She has been asked to serve on many important committees: the newly founded General Studies Committee of the Schools’ Council, the Sir John Maud National Committee enquiring into the Management of Local Government (the only woman member), the British delegation, led by Sir Edward Boyle, to the Ottawa Commonwealth Education Conference in 1964 (again, the only woman member), the Schools’ Committee of the Independent Television Association, to name a few. Since leaving Rosebery, Miss Lack has been lecturing for the University and Educational authorities in Australia and New Zealand, and we constantly get news, mostly from Old Rosebery girls living in those countries, of Miss Lack’s appearances on television or participation in radio programmes...”

TORONTO CHEFOO REUNION
China House was once again the scene of the Toronto Winter Reunion. A large number of guests showed up, ranging from the oldest member, CONRAD LAGERQUIST, now 75, to the children from O.M.F. Country Acres.
Following the usual Chinese dinner, MARY NICOL displayed some excellent coloured pictures of the present “Chefoo Schools” in Malaysia, the Philippines and Japan. Letters of thanks for our contributions to the Schools’ sports equipment were read by GRACE HARRIS, following which VIVIAN GONDER,
Toronto Chairman, called for a short pause in memory of some of our members who have very recently passed on.
JOE DUNLAP, Chairman, North American Branch C.S.A., was guest speaker, and said that he expected to organize smaller Chefoo reunions in the United States in cities such as New York and Chicago. He went on to say that he hoped that the traditions of Chefoo would not...”

“...FRIESEN, football player and fan JAMES HANSELMAN, and horse enthusiast PAM GRAY. Variety galore and yet we have such good times together. Many an evening we are all together in our spacious living room, happily number painting, making models, reading or playing the piano, so relaxed and there stretched out on the rug in the middle of everything is Rufus, our lovely English setter.
Replacing news from the other North American hostels, comes a current Chefoo news budget from the Chefoo successor schools in Malaya, the Philippines and Japan, some similarities and some striking differences from the original Chefoo the old timers of us knew.
From Chefoo School, Malaysia, (Cameron Highlands) “JIMMY, aged 914 is one of the senior boys and out of school hours is in the midst of a strenuous game of soft ball, football, or soccer, or else, stick in hand, is to be found leading a column of boys in ‘jungle bashing’. This means they are moving out, usually at top speed to explore another one of the nearby...”

“...Clemente, Calif, 02672. writes: “My beloved sister, IRENE HUNTLEY SAMUELSON, (known in late years as ‘RENE’) died at her home in Port Angeles, Wash, on November 6 1969 of cancer. I was privileged to nurse her for the last 4 months of her life. She was such a fine person and influenced many for the Lord. Two months later her younger daughter succumbed to the same dread disease. Surviving are her husband, Verne of Port Angeles, and daughter, Mrs. Sami Stulener of Kailua Hawaii. RENE attended Chefoo schools, 1902—1907. Perhaps some of the ‘old timers’ will remember her. I know very few of those who are mentioned in the Chefoo mag now, but I do enjoy reading about them and their accomplishments, and I have a vicarious pride in them.”

“...is far from well, suffering from emphesima”.
KATHY (KUHN) RULISON 1937-1943 in Chefoo, then repatriated on the second Gripsholm and finished schooling at Wheaton. We are now in Asheville, N.C. where Don is teaching at the Blue Ridge Christian Academy. It is a new school. There are about 135 students from kindergarten through 9th grade. There are real challenges, one being to teach well the intelligent Board Members children and the problem children who have not been able to get along at other schools. It is a pleasure in this area to see two other Chefusians. ARTHUR ALLEN and DOROTHEA (FOUCAR) ALLEN. We go to the same church. Then in a town close by are Mrs. RUTH THOMAS and Mrs.
JENNY FITSWILLIAM (Chefoo staff). It seems we have the makings of a reunion right here. In January when passing through Philadelphia, I talked by telephone to ALISON WARREN who was with her Australian minister husband in Germantown. Do you have her address?”
