“...call her and we would ’hash over’ the latest triumph or tragedy. In these later years she had a remarkable ministry to the shut-in members of the First Presbyterian Church of Germantown, making as many as 350 personal calls (usually by public transportation) in a year. When a fractured leg made her unable to travel, she continued her ministry by 'phone and pen." MISS LILLIAN BROMILEY, who was a teacher at 'Chefoo' in Ruling from 1948-51, died in Kuala Lumpur in November 1971, after a short illness. For the last 15 years of her life she had taught Mathematics in the government schools of West Malaysia. At the funeral service when Mr. Marvin Dunn, Field Director of the O.M.F., paid tribute to her life of dedication and service to the Lord, the church was filled with about 150 people, most of them former students whose lives had been influenced by Miss Bromiley, and who still kept in touch with her years after they left school.

“...they served the Society in Singapore, with memorable visits to Borneo. Many friends from around the world visited their home in Edinburgh and enjoyed their hospitality; and many there will be who will feel a great sense of loss that these two have now gone. But all who knew them will thank God for so many happy memories of them. C.M.B. Your (G.B.) News Editor was one of that small band of children at Chefoo who rarely went home for holidays as her parents lived and worked in far-away Szechuan. During the early part of FRANCES' marriage she and her husband sent $104).00 to the Staff at Chefoo so that a girl in the same position as she had been in her schooldays, spending most of her holidays at school, could have a holiday in Peking. Your present News Editor (G.B.) was chosen so she is glad to be able to pay tribute to this kind and generous gift. It enabled her to have a never-to-be-forgotten visit to that wonderful city which included a trip to the Great Wall of China. In fact, a flower...”

“...years played a very active part in C.S.A. affairs. His genial warm personality was a favourite at Chefoo Reunions. We join in offering him and his wife our warmest congratulations. We hope to hear more from him in our next issue. CHEFOO REUNION AT WARLINGHAM, SURREY 25th August 1972 Once again we enjoyed the hospitality of Maxwell House for our August Reunion. The informal picnic lunch was a happy beginning and it was good to talk to folks who come regularly. Later on it was a special joy to see others after an interval of several (or many!) years — DOUGLAS SADLER, his wife and family, MARGARET (VINDEN) HOLDER, JAMIE LEARNER, JOANNA GOODWIN, her husband and baby and DORIS EMBERY now "stationed" in England. Dr. and Mrs. John Toop showed their pictures of friends in Canada, including Chefusians, and then of 'their work in Thailand. We also much enjoyed pictures and a good tape from the Chefoo School in the Cameron Highlands. Special mention must be made of the beautifully prepared "high tea"...”

“...kind and considerate of lao Ma and Pal! MARY and Kenneth live in Petersfield. They both taught at 'Bedales school for a time and so they bought only a smaller house, because they had a flat in the school. Their own house is convenient for school holidays seeing they have only two children. The summer holidays they usually go over the Channel, and we can have the use of their house any time they are away. MARY does not teach at Bedales any longer but Kenneth is Music Master in Junior and Senior Schools there. Their daughter Lesley Ann finishes this term and David still has two years to go. ANN has been through a bad patch physically. She collapsed in April, was taken to hospital and found she was suffering from trouble with her pancreas and also needed an operation to have her gall bladder removed - which the doctor says is chock-a-block with stones! They would not do the operation until the pancreas had righted itself; it has been a long wait for her, but she goes back into hospital for the...”

Since being here, I have met GRACE HARRIS, OLIVE GRIFFITH and recently ALICE FORREST (TAYLOR). We are about half an hour's drive from Abergele. MARJORIE COOK (STOBIE of L.M.S.

“...though she was only there about 3-4 years. Chefusians may like to know that the group of us who left Chefoo in 1926 still have a Round Robin. It includes RUTH BAILEY (PORTEOUS), LOIS GLASS, ELOISE CAUTHEN (GLASS), MURIEL EVANS and her sister WINNIE, RUTH SIMS (DILLEY) and MARJORIE COOK (STOBIE). ...

“...nearly a year now and is expected home by the end of the summer. He has been teaching part-time in various Iranian schools (the discipline and work-standards a bit chaotic, and hardly up to Chefoo or Ruling!) He has also had a lot of contact with the ’Literacy Corps', a form of National Service for 18-20 year olds. It is organized by the Army, but is not only for military purposes. The youngsters are drafted into the villages in groups of five or six, to teach the 3 R's, to help with hygiene and simple medical matters, to help the farmers with simple agricultural improvements, etc. This forms a link between town and country and gradually new ideas trickle in! The Shah and many army officers and Education chiefs are anxious that basic sound character shall be built in the Corps - and so in the villages - and that is what GORDON has been helping to do. He and Iranian friends go to show films, or to talk or sell books and answer questions. Recently at a village school he drew cartoons on the...”

“...Chatham. Days have been very, very busy. But I am going to become the second Midwifery Tutor as from the end of July. Hospital is not far from home, so I spend a lot of time here giving a hand, but it is a pleasure."

“...Lane, Four Oaks, Sutton Coldfield: "How the years roll away when Old Chefusians meetl I've just had a visit from KATHLEEN (DAVIES) MOORE, who managed to spare me a long week-end out of the world tour made possible by her younger son, John, an Associate Professor at Newcastle (Australia) University, on her retirement,. due to failing sight. KATHLEEN went to teach at Redcroft School in Ruling for British children in the September after I had gone there in January 1925, the 7th? of a series of old Chefoo girls to have done the same on leaving school.

“...Certificate, but those of us who taught the children taking Prelim, and Junior exams, were only about one jump ahead of them! That they passed must have been due to their own abilities, plus our own sound Chefoo grounding. ... A fine stone building completed in 1926 had to be evacuated when civil war spread so widely, and was eventually taken over by the Chinese. No doubt Anzai, the head servant and general factotum (who had previously been Mr. Lindsay's office boy in the old CIM school), had continued to keep an eye on the property in his loyal and dedicated way. ... The Chefoo school in Ruling (1948-51) took over the American school buildings lower down the valley, with Fairy Glen hotel thrown in for good measure by the generosity of ARTHUR DUFF, a CIM school old boy. What a lovely part of the world were those valleys - a veritable Shangri-la for most of the year, with the deep silence of snow in winter, and for many months scarcely a sound but the music of the water in the streams dropping...”

"Some oldsters still get around", he remarks, and sums it all up in this closing paragraph, "Away from home for 12 nights, the first 10 we slept on the ground, using the air mattresses and sleeping bags, very comfortably, conveniently and inexpensively — entirely satisfactory We had previously reserved a room in a Motel for the last two nights, in case we should feel exhausted..
