“...no, John!', Negro Spirituals, Schubert,
Schumann and Mendelssohn songs, the cantatas 'The Legend of Bregenz' and 'The Lady of Shallott' and even some extracts from Handel's'Messiah'. And who of that generation will ever forget hearing two boy sopranos, who'd been trained by Mrs. Taylor singing on the B.S. Exhibition Day 'Where the Bee Sucks...'?
Later one of these small boys, HENRY GUINNESS, became her son-in-law, and the other, VIVIAN GONDER, is Chairman of the Toronto Branch of the Chefoo Schools Association. Mrs. Taylor's gifts were not only in music. Even to those with little mathematical bent she got across some meaning to certain Algebraical formulas (or 'formulae'?). And she had poetic gifts too. 'Parent Comes to Chefoo' came from her pen. (Younger 'Chefusians' see the December 1967 CHEFOO magazine)
After leaving CHEFOO and China in the late 1920’s Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Taylor served for many years on the Home Staff of the CIM in Glasgow. After Mr. Taylor's death MRS. TAYLOR made her...”

While there, she taught Music in both the Boys' School and the Girls' School. MISS WALLIS was "called Home" on August 21, 1971.

We are sorry that space does not allow us to quote verbatim the delightful joint letter from the 12 pupils of the Chefoo School in Baguio (Philippines), where MARY NICOLL teaches, thanking us for the Lego set which they bought with the money we sent.

MISS E. RUTH ELLIOTT, teacher at various Chefoo schools, in Kiating, Kalimpong, Shanghai, Ruling and the Philippines (present address 1729 Pinckney Park Dr., Charleston, S.C. 29407) writes: "Still teaching second grade at the Citadel Square Baptist School and enjoying it. It's a joy to see little ones changed by the power of the Lord Jesus Christ after a definite commitment to Him. Teaching Bible every day does bear fruit in the hearts and lives of children. My niece, VIRGINIA (CROSSETT) MORRIS (attended Chefoo School in Kiating Kalimpong and Shanghai) has four children. Her husband is a teacher of special education for the mentally retarded.

JOHN D. HUNT - 1946-1950 - (1525 Western Oaks Drive, Waco, Texas 76710) writes in June 1971: "I have just completed 11 years of teaching in the public schools of Texas.
