“...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 to us as Headmaster. During the period of MR. BRUCE's headship the new Prep was built on the Compound and the Co-Ed building went up beside it. The integrating of the Staffs and pupils of B.S. and G.S. was most successfully accomplished under his leadership. As a Staff we entered a period of rich fellowship together. Wise discipline, a good sense of humour, his innate humility, and readiness for necessary changes marked him as capable of the task before him. In...”

“...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 too for a fellowship which makes me reach out, to think for nations and continents while being concerned for individuals. This double commitment - to individuals and to nations - made teaching a new thing, and took me to Iran for ten months and gave me an open door there to village schools and to Universities and Cabinet Ministers. It is a wonderful thing when you are seventy, to have a whole new nation to care for. Some of you will want to know of our family. ELISABETH is married in Ontario, living a frontiers-woman’s life, dealing skilfully with emergencies of family, animals and building. JOHN in the Foreign Service, after being in Saigon, Dar es Salaam and elsewhere, is at present at a desk in Whitehall. ALISON married to a don at Oxford teaches'private pupils, girls who want...”

“...A picture shows him in a group of top people in one of the two top-hats. "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. Imagine it -'lao-reh-teh-hen' - Very full account is devoted to "How the C.I.M. Schools received the News". The patriotic parade of course at the Flag Staff, and 'prayers offered by Messrs. Coulthard and McCarthy'. Then an unexpected 17...”

“...pardoned for quoting "TERENCE McCARTHY and WEBLEY TAYLOR - both won the Military Medal". Old Girls are there too, though as becoming the modesty of those days, they are given at the tail. Among the many advertisements, the time-honoured firm of JAMES McMULLAN & CO. LTD "pongee silks, lace, embroidery, hair nets". All was the lovely cream colour defiant of moth and rust. I have a garment (kimono) now - the real Chefoo article. Is it a pious wish that they may yet come again? 25 years later the Schools went into honourable captivity, and Ichabod written over the glorious Chefoo we knew; though her lusty progeny flourishes today in 3 Far Eastern lands. This contribution is by one of the innumerable TAYLOR clan, who at school was distinguished by the execrable name of PEACHY. If anyone would like to see this Issue of the Chefoo Daily News, I will be glad to send it to them.

Also any other pictures of smaller groups, scenes, buildings, etc. Please be sure to indicate if you want any picture returned should they be duplicated. C.S.A. 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" who pointed out the scenic 22...”

“...in our area. We pass Spring Arbor College on our way to see the children in Indianapolis. May stop and see the TAYLORS (JAMIE - Chefoo 1900-1910)." DAVID G. PEARSON -1929-1939 - (123 Linden Ave., Westfield, N.J.) Thanks to CARRINGTON GOODRICH who sent us a clipping from the Westfield (N.J.) Leader of July 26th, 1973 on DAVID's appointment to the Mountainside office of a real estate firm well known in those parts.

“...or 6 years later after Sunday dinner 'Wobbles' actually turned pale when a friend knowing nothing of that fateful first trip to Chefoo offered him a banana. His older brother, REGINALD, who excelled at the organ preceded these 2 brothers, and a younger brother and sister (HEDLEY and KATHLEEN) followed... Our family is unique in relation to CHEFOO SCHOOL. My grandfather HUDSON TAYLOR was the Founder. My Father HER .NT HUDSON was one of the earliest Masters, and 8 of his children attended the schools. Four of my children attended Chefoo, KATHLEEN, JAMES, MARY and JOHN until World War II ended. What a day that was, their home-coming, September 11, 19451 We had said 'goodbye' to them Feb. 26, 1940. Our Lord's promise, Matt. 6:33, is utterly trustworthy.... Say, I need a school contemporary's help. A generation after ours is in dispute with me. Does any one of you recall our nickname for a sparrow? Our oldest son, JAMES, spoke the other day of a 'Spigger'. For over 60 years I think I had not...”

“...America - entertained us to a really delicious Chinese meal in her apartment. The others there were her daughter, Eileen Wallis, DORA RIDLEY Mc.EWEN, OLIVE JOYCE and MARGARET THOMSON BROWN. Some Chefusians may remember that Mr. and Mrs. Reid (Ella’s parents) were in Kiangsi. Mr. Ritchie is said to have put the Chinese P.0, on its feet in his day! EFFIE REID married a Mr. Cunningham and they lived in Tatsien-lu (on the border of Tibet) for some years. JENNY BOYDEN (who formerly taught at the Chefoo Schools in Malaysia and the Philippines) very kindly drove us one afternoon to Sooke to have tea with Dora Ridley McEwen and her husband. They have a fine garden including raspberry-canes six feet tall. They had been living on raspberries for the past several weeks and were getting a bit tired of them. In Toronto, raspberries are a luxury for old age pensioners! A friend of Olive Joyce's very kindly drove us over the Malahat range (with beautiful views of ocean and coast-line) to Cobble Hill where we...”

“...left that part of the 'Third World' for home -via London, where they saw DORIS BRISCOE, DORIS EMBERY, and OLIVE ROUSE. We were all glad to see them back looking well and obviously refreshed in spirit, after those 6 strenuous weeks." MARY (CULPEPPER) WALKER - 1936-1940 - (7-12, 2 Chome, Naka-jima-Nishi, Oita 870, Japan) "We've returned to work in Oita City where we spent our first 10 years in Japan. During the last 10 years we were in Fukuoka in evangelistic work, and MARY taught in our Baptist schools also. We've sent our youngest off this Spring to college in Texas, so we're finding it nice and more cheerful to keep busy. There are many encouraging things in our work in this area that's newly industrialized. We are expecting to enjoy life in 'Phase 3' as much as or more than in the 2 preceding phases." 42...”
