ROUSE MISS LUCIA MISS E. PREEDY MISS D. M. BRISCOE CHEFOO REUNION AT WARLINGHAM, SURREY. It was dull and wet outside but inside there was an especially warm and happy atmosphere on that day of the Chefoo Reunion, January 23rd, 1971. It was fun to arrive early at the Chinese Restaurant in Whyteleafe,(the journey had been easy)and then to choose a seat from which we could watch everyone as they came in. Some we easily recognised but others demanded a few subtle enquiries before our curiosity could be satisfied. The room gradually filled and the chatter became louder dying down a little as the delicious Chinese dishes were...”

“...Church where Mr. Lea was once Rector. Only their twins, Jill and Michael are still at home; they take their “A” Levels in July. David, the 21 year old serves with the Metropolitan Police in Hornsey and seems to cope with the job very well. Their second son, Simon, 24, was married in December at Racine, Wisconsin. DOROTHY and her husband flew over for the wedding and stayed with MURIEL (DILLEY) CHERNEY in New York for a few days en route for home and experienced once again the strange phenomenon “Chefoo friendship”, which they found a very lasting and real emotion. DOROTHY’S eldest son is working with I.C.I. in Co. Durham. The Editors are most grateful to CONTIE STARK (13 Wingate Court, Blackberry Lane, Four Oaks, Sutton Coldfield), who compiled the following : CONTIE says - In January each year, I mean to pass on news received from Old Chefusians at Christmas time, but thinking it’s rather early, put letters aside, and then forget till too late. So this year, while fresh in my mind, I’m sending...”

“...5. preached except what she practised herself. My husband Angus retired from teaching in August. I gave up teaching in 1968 when Mother was not well.” MARJORIE left Chefoo when quite young and has seldom seen any one from there since, but was interested to hear news of some from her past. She would be glad to hear from RUTH (DILLEY). PEGGY (BROWN) ELRINGTON, address St. John’s College, Santa Fe N. Mexico 87501 wrote that her husband Bill, (whom she first met when her father was acting Governor of Wei-hai-wei) teaches Latin at St. John’s College and is Assistant Head Master. PEGGY is the school nurse and still works 1—2 days a week in the Delivery Room at the Local Hospital and 2—3 mornings at a Maternity Clinic. BETTY BROWN who had been a physiotherapist in England, died in hospital in December 1969. PEGGY had been able to nurse her in her flat up till a fortnight previously. She passed on news from HELEN SMITH who has three collapsed vertebrae, is in much pain, and needs to lie flat most...”

WINNIFRED lives and teaches in London and Mrs. Cook is in the O.M.F. retired workers home at Pembury where also live AGNES CLARK, MISS UNWIN and MISS A.C. COLES. Helping to keep them all so happy and well as possible, MARGIE WELLER has been joined by MARY home on leave from JAPAN (Chefoo Nanae). They are enjoying off-duty home life in their own place at Hawkenbury. AILSA CARR at present teaching in St. Leonards, is buying a flat in South-borough.. adjoining Tunbridge Wells, thus adding to the number of Chefusians in those parts. There were enough of them to use a minibus to take them to the January reunion this year, among the passengers being MARGARET (CLAYTON) RODWAY, MR HAROLD WELLER, and MARJORIE BROOMHALL. MISS I.E. PHARE keeps house for her brother at 33, Byng Road, Tunbridge Wells, but was unable to go to the reunion. They sorely miss the ministrations of...”

“...8. MRS. CLINTON) and MISS MABEL FISHE (later MRS LINDSAY) were the teacher? He remembered the move to Chefoo itself, the Prep. School taking over the single storey premises below the G.S. hockey field vacated by the Boys’ School which moved into the large white hotel at the lower end of San Lane until their own new building was completed, and the Prep. School took over, with Miss Blackmore as Principal. In reminiscing about Boys’ School days he had some surprising nicknames for masters. His contemporaries will know who were “Mike”, “Shinter”, “Judy” and “Giraffe”! His particular friend of those years was GEORGE (Toby I) BUTLAND. WALTER left school in 1908 the first year when the “Oxford” exams, were taken (his name was the first on the BS. honours list board). We were both amused to find that in the C.I.M. party who escorted him to England the 3 Stark girls were on board, also AMY and IRENE WILSON. (I was only 18 months old at the time). BEA STARK is at present still teaching part time...”

“...She enjoys the fine music (and good sermons) at the Priory there, and teaches in Sunday School. She lives near relatives of Rosie, DOUGLAS SADLER’S wife, and is looking forward to having them on leave from Kuala Lumpur, where they work with O.M.F. As for me (CONTIE STARK) I am enjoying more leisurely living too, in spite of a few physical limitations which prevent travelling about much. It is lovely having visitors, and I sometimes find time to paint, in between church work and residents’ association commitments. My flat is within 5 or 6 miles of the link roads connecting the M.l, M.5 and M.6, so any Chefusians travelling across country and wanting a break from motorway driving would be most welcome (easy instructions and a local street map supplied on request!) Sutton Coldfield Car Rail Station is only a mile or so away and ideal for sleeping the journey to Scotland in comfort, so please make use of me for further respite. If any of these items are of interest (and not too out of date...”

The evening of February 22 at China House, began with the delight of hailing old friends, then enjoying a “No. 1 topside chow”, while we reminisced. ERNEST GRAINGER threw some beautiful English scenes on the screen with members of the GRAINGER, PARRY & JOYCE families in the foreground. These were followed by Dr. Robert Jervis, professor of chemistry at the University of Toronto, who showed choice pictures of Mainland China, taken about three years...”

“...shrubs; Nanking Road, Hongkong and Shanghai Bank and other familiar landmarks. Could this be China 40 years later9 No rickshaws and few vehicles except buses and telescope trailers. Instead we saw well-kept streets and hardly anyone on them during the day, and, believe it or not, no flies, our lecturer told us, spiders or unpleasant odours. The Jervis family stayed at the Peace Hotel, more comfortably furnished than the more imposing building next door where their escorts were housed. They visited schools where the well trained and cared for children sang for them. They inspected factories with impressive displays of industrial product textiles (where they met a buyer from Eatons in Toronto ) and museums. The Chinese are envious of Toronto and Taiwan exhibits. They were welcomed at fully automated plants, laboratories, radio-active chemical buildings and listened to fifteen minute speeches to the effect that all this was possible through Chairman Mao. When Dr. & Mrs. Jervis enquired about attending...”

“...was when the problem of the North American News Section was to find 29 items (mystic number that, meaning nothing except it was the total in my first attempt). Now that old order has changed giving place to new and the current problem is to boil down the 60 odd into a reasonable space. Apologies to the rest of the world if this is grabbing too many pages. Blame ISABEL TAYLOR. It’s ISABEL’S tremendously successful promotional letters. From MAYBETH JUDD GRAY, the O.M.F. Hostel near Philadelphia. Chefoo 1920-1929. “My husband and I have just stepped out of the job of Hostel keepers for the Home at Ivyland. We had a memorable 13 years there, and really enjoyed the job (most of the time!) We expect to move back to Canada in June and to settle in Stroud, 50 miles north of Toronto near where we used to live. Perhaps we’ll have a chance to attend some of those good Toronto Reunions. The Home for Missionaries’ Children is now being run by a young couple from Arizona who applied for the job. John and...”

DOROTHY ADAMS, Chefoo 1911-1913 gives biographical details. “Lived in Taiku, Korea, travelled to Chefoo with older brother BENJAMIN until he went to U.S. Then I continued school in Pyeng Yang, Korea, until I came to the U.S. in 1915. My last job was resident counselor at our Presbyterian Whitworth College Spokane, Washington for 15 years. I retired June 1967 and am now living in a cottage style retirement home here in Portland. I was in Toronto last summer, also for Christmas last December with nephew George Adams. This June I expect to return to my college, Wooster, Ohio for our 50th celebration. Can’t help but wonder who turned my name into Chefoo circles. Someone must be on the ball.” From Mr. and Mrs. ARTHUR B. ALLEN (nee DOROTHEA FOUCAR) Chefoo...”

“...Health Center, where she has worked for 11 years. I am enclosing a letter from KENNETH CAMPBELL. We were quite good friends in Chefoo. How about passing this on to JOE DUNLAP for Chefoo Oral History. (Definitely. Secy.) When do you have the Chefoo Reunions in Toronto and where? (Chinese dinner in February and bus day-long picnic on the Saturday nearest Foundation Day, June 15. Secy.)” From a brother, WILLIAM ASPINAL ALLEN, Chefoo 1908-18, 1913 23rd Street Everitt, Wash. 98201. U.S.A. “After Chefoo worked for 4 years in business in Kunming. In Australia 1922-29.

U.S.A. writes: “Had a fabulous trip to the Caribbean in Nov. 1970, first long sea voyage since 1939 and we had perfect weather; got myself a deep tan and a good rest. Dad and Mother known as secretary and teacher at Chefoo 1933— 43 keep well and active at 93 and 90 respectively. EGBERT, 1916—27 is a missionary in Formosa. GRACE married with 2 college seniors is teaching kindergarten still and is fantastically active.

HENRIETTA, 1933-36 is still in Mexico where she has worked for Wycliffe translators since 1944.

“...winter to relations in sunny Florida. This included a leisurely bus trip back with stop overs in Virginia and New York, the latter being a Chefoo session with LENA (KAUDERER) SPIELER with visits to her sister MARGARET (KAUDERER) ADAMS, and a run through of the Chefoo Oral History tape at JOE DUNLAP’s of which more elsewhere. Since then house remodelling. Has anyone cleaned up after the demolition of two walls to enlarge a small living room, and survived the chaos? Don’t do it until you retire. Then Chefoo news, and later preparation for a possible trip to Sweden in August. I should like to look up JOY GUINNESS if possible while there. Any other Chefusians in Scandinavia? Truly life is still giving every passing moment something to keep in store or alternatively Satan will never find much mischief for these non-idle hands to do”. ANNE BURGESS, Chefoo 1907-17, 1703 Bay Street, Victoria B.C. Canada, has, over the last 50 years, had some rugged experiences as a nurse, often in remote places...”

“...WIGHT, MARY LARSEN, and EVA ANDERSON were friends in my class also. I remember, too, ELEANOR GOULD and MARGIT RINELL. DOROTHY SIBLEY (address?) was my school mother. I faintly recall BEATRICE SIBLEY and used to think NORMAN SIBLEY was my special romance!! Of the TAYLOR’s the names GRACE, MARION and ISABEL ring a bell. I also recall ELSA LOGAN. I’ve written up various Chefoo incidents at various times, have one on ‘Fishie’ as we fondly called her. Have played with the notion of writing a booklet about the Chefoo schools as recalled by one of the U.S. minority and am spurred on by KENNETH and his contacts.” (Go to it, roughly the same idea seems to be hitting various people in various places and of various periods. Secy.)...”

“...Uruguay and Venezuela. Our problem now is where is home — England, the United States or Argentina?” ELOISE (GLASS) BAKER CAUTHEN, Chefoo 1914-26, 3904 W. Weyburn Road, Richmond Va. U.S.A. “My sister LOIS, is back in Taiwan where she teaches at the Chung Yuan College of Engineering, in Chungli, Taiwan. We really enjoyed our contact, though brief, with RUTH DILLEY SIMS, in El Paso last summer. What a marvellous treat to have Miss EVA MCCARTHY visit in our home and speak to the Sunday School class I teach. They were tremendously impressed as I told them they would be. Miss McCARTHY has all the same fire and tenderness we knew in Chefoo when she was young and we were younger.” (I trust an account of Miss McCARTHY’s itinerary on this continent will be forthcoming from Great Britain. She of course impressed those of us in Toronto equally. Secy). HUGH COULTHARD, Chefoo 1908-18, 57 John Street, Weston 492, Ont. Canada writes: “Completely retired in December 1970. Enjoyed visit from JACK BURGESS last...”

“...And from JOSEPHINE COULTHARD (Mei-Mei) Chefoo 1908-1921, Apt. 206 64 St. Clair Ave. West, Toronto 7, Canada. “Have been retired for a whole year and am still thoroughly enjoying a more leisurely way of life after putting in 44 years as a secretary. Am trying not to become too involved in the numerous women’s organizations that seem to be everywhere just waiting to grab you. I still prefer working for and with males, having been brought up with four brothers and all the other boys that made up the compound families at Chefoo”. Laconic news from CHUCK CRAPUCHETTES Kuling and Shanghai 1947-51, General Delivery, Iliamna, Alaska, 99606, U.S.A. “Married to Barbara and have 4 children.

U.S.A. writes: “The highlight of 1970 for me was my return to the Orient for a brief trip. Two of our children along with our church youth choir went on a tour, to Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand. In order for the famih to enjoy this together, my husband and I and our 12 year old Sally joined the choir group in Japan. We especially enjoyed spending a week with MARY (CULPEPPER) WALKER. In Taiwan we had a brief visit with MARY’S brother CHARLES. Taiwan and Hong Kong brought back many memories and made me homesick for China.” Mrs. Leslie Evans gives news of the EVANS family, 601 Fernhill Blvd., Oshawa, Ont.

Box 7072, Kampala, Uganda. “Since last reporting to the Chefusian we have enjoyed a most varied Fast African family safari. We visited bird sanctuaries and game parks, achieving a good range in heights, with the children climbing Kilimanjaro (19,000 feet) and all of us surfing on the breakers of the Indian Ocean near Mombasa. Our second son and daughter joined us again at Christmas briefly. The recent military coup in Uganda happened around us, but civilian involvement was minimal and it was ‘work as usual’ throughout. Last year we heard Dr. Algie Stanley-Smith (Chefoo circa 1895) present fascinating reminiscences of his arrival in East Africa in 1916. So much has happened here since then. We expect to be back in Toronto at our old address in September — 3 Whitney Avenue, Toronto 5.” BRYAN P. GLASS, Chefoo 1928-35. 517 South Willis Street, Stillwater, Oklahoma 79074.

“...BERTRAM BUTLAND, your contemporary, is living here permanently in retirement. There are no other Chefoo people in Colorado or neighbouring states; on the East Coast I keep in touch with ALBERT WHITTLESEY, whom you remember of the First Pennsylvania Bank, and EDWARD WELLS of the Mutual of New York Insurance Co. (both recently retired vice-presidents). WELLS impresses me tremendously. If you visit New York area you should surely see him. The best feature of Chefoo life would be the environment of hills and shore. There was a fine athletic program, with excellent training in study habits. McCarthy’s dictum about “making your brain sweat” was a good rule of life.” From ERNEST GRAINGER, Chefoo 1910-20. 21 Northview, Scarborough, Ont. Canada. “Spent August 19 to September 19 on a charter flight to Britain, visiting three sisters, various cousins and other relatives and friends.

“...technical publications and advertising service to manufacturers. For a number of years we have been active in church work in various leadership capacities (administrative, missionary emphasis, financial and visitation). We still are trusting that the Lord will let us go into foreign missionary work at some time in the future (radio or publications ministry). It is most enjoyable to read news from all over the world and to think back on those most unusual and formative years in Ruling.” JOHN HOYTE, Chefoo and Weishien 1938-45. 300 Menlo Oaks Drive, Menlo Park.
