“...ALAN BROCK, who was at Chefoo from 1915-1925, died suddenly of a heart attack in Toronto on December 3, 1973. He had worked for many years with the Canada Life Insurance Co. One of his fellow-Chefusians says, 'I always remember Alan for his clean-cut appearance, fine sportsmanship, and friendliness.1 In Memory of P. A. BRUCE, Beloved Headmaster of the last period of the School in Chefoo, China. Many will recall a day in January 1935 - the Mem. Hall - filled to capacity with children, Staff and friends - our Headmaster on the platform calling us to worship Cod for His deliverance from the piracy of a party of over 90 children and Staff. This was the memory that filled my mind as family, friends and some Chefusians gathered to pay our last respects to one who had meant so much to us all. MR. BRUCE came to Chefoo from Szechuan where he had been Headmaster of a large Mission school for Chinese boys. After a short period of teaching in both Boys’ and Girls' schools and then furlough, he returned...”

“...could envy, as helpless as any of us but maintaining a gracious leadership with unshaken faith in God. Though no longer seen in cricket flannels, many of us recall, with a chuckle, his enthusiastic 'rooting' on the side lines of those Weihsien Baseball games. Another memorable picture as our relief train drew in to Tsingtao station - the I'.S. navy band welcoming us with music. The naval commander shook hands with Mr. Bruce. The time of testing was nearing its end. In the years that followed Chefoo, Mr. Bruce's service for the Lord took a different course. He was ordained to the ministry of the Church of England. ... Through retirement and failing health he was still our much loved Chief. The sympathy of hundreds of boys, girls and Staff goes out to the sons and daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Bruce. ... Remember him...who spoke unto you the Word of God: whose faith follow. E.M.B. MRS. P. A. BRUCE (nee JESSIE CASSELS) MRS. BRUCE passed away at Cornford House, Tunbridge Wells, on November 19th...”

“...MISS A. C. COLES Those of us who were at the original C.I.M. Prep. School in Ruling during the few years it functioned between 1910 and 1915 when it was destroyed by fire will remember Miss Coles well, and some who were at the Chefoo Prep. School during 1916-1917 will remember her there too. For many of us she was our first teacher, and I personally have vivid memories of her in Ruling. She taught us in Transition, and also had a fringe of kindergarten children at one side of the classroom, who had to be catered for too. Those were the days of learning a lot by rote, and while the younger children needed her attention, the rest of us did quite a bit of saying "tables", dates of the kings of England, and Geographical "definitions", which may have bored us sometimes, as we sat chanting with hands behind our backs, but how interesting many of our other lessons were. I well remember one on the evaporation of water, with a boiling kettle to help, others on the camel and the cow, and their f...”

“...appreciated 'Uncle Ken's' specific interest in me, how he took time to write references for me, those marvellous Chinese feasts he used to make for us, the music and books he exposed us to, how he pulled us through the snow behind the tractor." All who knew him have lost a good friend. RUTH LEWIS Early in May this year, RUTH LEWIS passed into the presence of the Lord whom she loved and served. RUTH finished at Chefoo School in 1936 and after a time in China with her mother, came home to England. She was never in good health but was most courageous. After taking Secretarial Training, she worked for the "Red Sea Mission Team" for about five years and with "Echoes of Service" for two years. Her work was always done with care and was appreciated by those she served. Her last position was with "Stothert and Pitt" in Bath and this she thoroughly enj oyed. RUTH seemed to be improving in health, but evidently had a heart condition which caused a severe heart attack from which she did not recover...”

“...of May 8, 1973, in connection with the decision to increase minimum wages. Page 4 of the same paper tells of him riding the 'Silver Train' to St. Hilda's to get a first hand view of drivers' complaints that the train is unsafe. Chefusians are proud not only of his ability but of his sympathetic attitude. CHEFOO REUNION (Melbourne, Australia) On Friday, 4th August, 1973, twenty-nine of us met for Chinese Chow at the O.M.F. home and reminisced about Chefoo times. Photographs were shared and one item of particular interest was a Mission published book entitled "Chefoo" published in 1930.

“...pirates scurrying away inland and leaving the 8 hostages to row back to the ship. When the hostages were once more on board we sang the Doxology. ... Finally we were escorted into Hong Kong harbour by 3 destroyers at 3 in the morning, to meet a barrage of Press. In the excitement at the end the Pirates had forgotten to put the wireless out of action, so we were able to signal our arrival and "All Safe". J. 0. FARQUHAR MACRAE. '26-30. I have been out of touch for years, so to re-cap briefly: - after Chefoo I was at school at Sedbergh in Yorkshire and then did medicine at Edinburgh where I met up again with Arthur Smith, the Walker family, the Pedersons etc. My brother did Divinity then, and after some years as a missionary in Nigeria he is now REV.

“...Birthday, and there are so many I want to keep in touch with, that I plan to duplicate this letter and send it out widely. I am a lucky man; in the work I have had to do, the places I have seen and the friends I have made. Recently on my travels I have been reading Horace's poems again; and a phrase in them struck me. PLURAQUE FELICES MIRABIMUR. Felices - WE ARE LUCKY PEOPLE; pluraque mirabimur - AND THERE WILL BE MORE MIRACLES AHEAD. I have been lucky in my schooling and Oxford, in my years at Chefoo, in my family, in the years at Bristol Grammar School, and in the time of retirement, including a visit to Iran and to Germany. 14...”

“...MR. GORDON MARTIN cont’d When Foundation Day comes round, I remember so many delights, Boat Races, Cricket, Concerts, and happy days in Chefoo, in Weihsien, in Ruling, and I think of you all. The visits of some of you to our house were a great pleasure to us. The unity of the Staff enriched our lives, especially when we were under pressure from Japanese or Communists. Being turned out of China was a blow. I had looked forward to a lifetime in the service of Chefoo. But we Christians from the West did not adequately meet the needs of China, and we were turned out. I had come in touch with Moral Re-Armament; I was very slow in responding. But this has been for Heather and me a way forward into more disciplined practice of what I had so readily talked about, into new tasks and opportunities, and into so many friendships. I am so grateful for a fellowship which never lets you down and never lets you off, giving both help and correction. This sort of friendship is a rare thing. I am grateful...”

“...ELVA (COOK) NICHOLSON - (16 Newlands Rd., Tunbridge Wells, Kent TN4 9AT) writes in November of "a very happy visit with FRANK RICHARDSON (from New Zealand) He had only a few days in London, but he spared one for us here in Tunbridge Wells. He came in time for morning coffee when MISS PHARE, MISS BROOMHALL and the MISSES BEA and DOROTHY STARK all came to meet him in this house. Then in the afternoon we went over to Cornford House, where there were quite a few who remembered him and his family at Chefoo. The photographs were brought out and some faces recognized, and others - we were not quite so surel Amongst those Frank met at Cornford House were MRS. BRUCE and EDITH (BRUCE) STAINES, who 'happened' to be visiting her mother, MRS. STRANGE, MRS. KATIE (EASTON) PARRY, MRS. MANN, MISS GODDARD, MARGARET WELLER (who has since become Matron of Cornford House), MR. H. WELLER, MRS. LIVERSIDGE, as well as my mother.

"The euphoric editorial, joyful without cynicism,and with rich gems of irony, in the light of the next 50 years, sets the pace of similar writing all through. Exuberant jubilation rose to a height. All of Chefoo (25,000) seemed to come down on the beach and join the parade... finishing up with ear-splitting crackers on the Recreation Ground.

There are not mentioned any prayers for the Germans in their anguish of defeat. As is only due the last pages are given to 'Chefoo's Roll of Honour'. The number of Old Boys serving represented 75X of those eligible; of this number 33 laid down their lives. The Memorial Hall was built in their memory.

“... DAVID MICHELL writes: ’About 20 of us, Cbefusians and "old China hands"had a very tasty Chinese meal at an Auckland restaurant when REV. JACK WELLER was up from Wellington for a brief visit. Jack is on a temporary appointment as General Secretary of the Bible Society in New Zealand. We were glad to hear news of MARY WELLER at Chefoo in Japan, and a fascinating survey of the progress of Bible distribution in different countries - significant in Roman Catholic lands and Eastern Europe. One R.C. leader's request: "Wanted immediately, if not yesterday, one million copies of Today’s Spanish New Testament".' CHEFOO SCHOOL, PHILIPPINES One of the teachers at the Chefoo School, Baguio (Philippines) writes in October 1973: "Lately has been good beasty weather.. The children have been dragging in every beast they can find and my table fairly bristles with them. One obligingly turned into a pupa while we watched, but craved privacy and rather sneakily turned into a butterfly about 7 o'clock in the...”

NORTH AMERICA - TRIP TO ALGONQUIN PARK June 16, 1973 Our true north strong and free was all around us in our Summer Outing at Algonquin Park, Ont. On Saturday, June 16, close to 50 Chefoo Schools Association members and friends left the Toronto bus station for the scenic drive north. We hardly noticed the rain part of the way, while we enjoyed saying "Hello" to everyone in the cosy bus. After a short lunch stop we passed through Huntsville to the Algonquin dock by l;00 p.m. Boarding the Tom Thomson Memorial Boat, we enjoyed a 16-mile tour of Canoe Lake and Ox Tongue River. On the boat was a "hostess"...”

“...the "younger" set who knew the Martins at Ruling - about a quartfer of a century ago I After a social hour, Mr. Martin told us about the year he had spent in Iran as a representative of Moral Rearmament and showed us some beautiful pictures. Mr. Martin is still compiling scrap books -with his own illustrations. And he is still quoting Horace. It is a pity we didn’t have copies of "Aedes Patriti" on hand. To have sung that together would have been honouring the Martins and a happy recalling of Chefoo days. Nevertheless, a heartwarming evening. Those present besides MR. AND MRS.
