“..."Chinese Chow" had been prepared by DORIS BRISCOE and helpers. (We don't know who you were but we want you to know that we enjoyed every mouthful, many thanks indeed'. After that in the Lower Hall we saw slides of the modern Chefoo. Mary Weller from the Nurse's angle showed her pictures of Japan followed by ANNE EDWARDS who had been a teacher at Chefoo in the Philippines. What beautiful scenery and lovely children! ...And then we played "Charades", some of the scenes reminding us of the original "Chefoo". It was easy to recognize "Kan-san-pan-dee" when JACK WELLER was pushing out the "boat", and one could tell it was a trip to Light House Island b™ the "paddling" and the rolling round ir. .' e imaginary sand. Memorable too was JOHN HIRST zooming in as an areoplane...... The next item was our Annual Meeting. We were asked to send in our news, consulted as to the best time to have our re-unions, and reminded that subscriptions were due. We sent greetings and good wishes to MR. and MRS. GORDON...”

“...Andrews who was a valuable member of the Co-Tuition Staff in Chefoo from 1933-43 died in Lancaster, Pa. at the age of 98 just six months after her husband(he'd lived to be over 100) In an obituary paragraph on her in the April/May 1978 issue of the East Asia Millions we read "She was a beautiful gracious lady, also full of good humor and a vivacious storyteller.*' In the O.M.F. Candidate school she became a favourite teacher. Candidates learned more perhaps from her accounts of C.I.M. personalities than through the books they were assigned to read....... Mrs Andrews cared for her own home in Philadelphia until the age of 91, when she and her husband moved to O.M.F's 'Lammermuir House' in Lancaster. Over these past six years she has been one of the bright spots in the home, even continuing to be a worthy opponent in the game of Scrabble or Racko. Stan GooId some of the Chefooites will remember the name of Stan Goold. He left Chefoo at the age of sixteen in 1922, and came to stay in Auckland...”

“...Josephine Hayman, n^e Soderstrom. Of Josephine my father used to joke that the first six months of her life in China, she was so weak she could drink milk only! Of course she was born in China(Jan.1897). Her parents gave her the Swedish name of Maria Josefina. Her father died in Sian when she was five. She spoke often of a younger sister who also died, but I can find no record of her. Her mother continued in Kansu even after Josephine went to Chefoo for her ten years of schooling. However after leaving Chefoo in 1913, mother and daughter went to England to work, where they became naturalised British. At the end of 1919, the Soderstroms, mother and daughter, returned as missionaries to Kansu. Later her mother died. Being so far inland, Josephine did not seem to be hindered by the Japanese invasion. But in 1949 she had to leave for Shanghai, where she was matron of the C.I.M. Home until, by the kind invitation of Connie Nicholson, she came to Australia in April, 1951. While praying about...”

“...hospital constructed across the highway. There are no churches functioning in Chefoo, nor'native temples. In fact if a Chinese admits that he is a Christian, as we found out by asking, he is subjected to some discrimination and even persecution. Quite to the contrary in Tsingtao the beautiful large Catholic and Lutheran churches left by the Germans for their own use are now filled to overflowing every Sunday by Chinese congregations I Both cities have new 10 to 12 story Friendship hotels to accommodate foreign visitors. The German castle, government building, and many large mansions are in use, built in the short 16 years that the colonists were in Tsingtao, and in many cases they are being used for sanatar-iums. The beer brewery, and the bottling of spring waters, is thriving, the products being transported both in China and abroad. The textile industries are first class and highly automated. By contrast, in Chefoo the pongee silk industry dependent on cocoons imported from Manchuria seems...”

“...revolution with its loss of thousands of lives, and the flight of the gentry abroad? One wonders when one considers the enormous progress of the Japanese and S. Koreans, while escaping communism, but while losing thousands through military venture. It is difficult to generalize regarding the Chinese people. They may have the veneer of monolithic Communists, but they are still as diverse as the Chinese have ever been. Besides the very great differences between cities, even in the same province, like Chefoo and Tsingtao in the impact of the system, one wonders what contrasts there may be in rural China where 80% of the population lives. We saw little of this except for the neatly tilled, and fenceless, fields from train windows. The myriad local graveyards have disappeared, and areas of plantings of young trees are growing, a great reforestration. Chinese are a pragmatic people and there are evidences of novel'whys of making a buck outside the system. Private enterprise seems to be on the rise....”

“...from Peking to Tsinan, had an overnight here and were taken to a Buddhist Temple in the morning, and for a ride on a famous lake and then saw quite an elegant display of Chinese porcelain. We left Tsinan in late day for overnight train to Chefoo(Yantai). We approached Chefoo in early morning hours thrilled as we looked at beautiful landscapes, high hills behind very orderly and lush farm country. In villages groups of houses that we presume were newly built commune buildings were pretty with red tile roofs, and some older buildings were well kept too. Even the roads in the country were paved and we saw some early morning joggers coming down one of these. All of us were terribly in awe as we arrived at a great big railroad station in our beloved Chefoo, and as we walked through carrying our hand baggage we were stared at in wonderment by silent Chinese in the station. We were met by a tour guide and bus driver who introduced themselves and promptly drove us to a hotel called the Yantaiguest...”

(465 Ruthven Ave. Palo Alto, Ca.94301) I keep in touch at Christmas time with Mary Ririe(Toronto) and Ida Seymour (Glendale Calif.) I have many happy memories of my Chefoo days..tramps over the hills, lilac low bushes in bloom, the Black Dragon Temple, the beach and swimming or rowing, the Rocks, Cats-eye beach - week-ends at Temple Hill, some pranks not always appreciated by the staff, but we had some fine teachers all of whom left a deep impression on us all. On this coast (Californian) my class mates Nessa(Walker) Jaroske, Bea(Sibley)Anders and until her death a few years ago, Emily(Horne)Larsen would visit each other as much as possible.

“...beer factory is run by the Chinese, and the beer is exported to the United States as Tsingtao beer. This tour guide without hesitancy showed us in passing the Roman Catholic and the Christian Church, these were the only churches pointed out to us in all our China travel. Incidentally the second group of our tour arrived on Sunday and at their asking were able to attend the Christian Church, with 500 Chinese in the Church. They recognized familiar tunes sung during the service. What a contrast to Chefoo where apparently religious services are an underground affair. We arrived in Shanghai from our steamer trip late in the day. Next morning we had a tour to where the old C.I.M. headquarters were and on to a beautiful art exhibit hall. We were then boarded on a train for Hangzhou for a 3.1/2 hour train ride. The loveliest villa we were housed in was in Hangzhou, this one we were told was Chou En Lai's vacation spot and it was of indescribable beauty, little lakes filled with lotus plants and some...”

“...warmly welcome" over and over, and after we had seen all their activity from learning experiences to play, as we were leaving they again assembled at the gate and clapping loudly called out "goodbye uncles and aunts" over and over. They stole our hearts. We saw no beggars, no one in rags, no lepers or small poxed faces, no one looking hungry, all dressed simply and neatly. We wanted to know more, at what cost and how in 60 years while we were away did such a complex land become so organized. CHEFOO TOUR B September 8 - 20, 1981.

“...school year in June about 20 children will be "graduating*, or leaving for furlough, and when the new school year starts in late August there will be 20 newcomers. It is expected that all travel home for holidays will be by air. The Thailand children used to have a long midnight taxi ride to Kuala Lumpur and then a 24 hour train journey to Bangkok. Now the Central and North Thailand children will be flying from Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok, and the South Thailand children from Penang to Haadyai. From 'Chefoo', Nanae, Japan: Early this year Bob Tullman, ’housefather* at Nanae was helped by a young Japanese, Handa San, in several maintenance and improvement projects in the school building. "I’e' s a big help" writes 'Uncle Bob*,'and the kids like him a lot*. One of Handa San's special interests is ceramics and one day he brought his kiln and clay to give the children some instruction in the art. Soon they were all in the basement vigorously thumping their lumps of clay which were later fired, then...”

'It was very interesting to talk with Mrs Asche She told me Mary(who was a contemporary of mine at Chefoo) was practising as a doctor at Charlton, a town in the wheat and sheep belt about 300 miles west of Melbourne. Mary was married to a Presbyterian minister, but has been widowed for some years now. Mrs Asche told me that she herself and her husband worked in the port of Foochow for some years before Mr Asche was appointed to a teaching post in Hong Kong. I met John Asche, who was in the same class as my brother John the day of our Reunion last year (1976) for the first time since 1938. He looks much the same, only older as are we all! John is a general practitioner so both he and Mary are doctors. He is...”

Numerous other scholars collaborated in this latest work, which includes some 650 biographies of people of all classes and professions. We worked mostly from primary documents and books of Ming date (1368-1644). Now we must see how it is accepted by the learned world. IAN GRANT - 1946-50 (189-//30 Springhead Gardens, Richmond Hill, Ont. L4C 5C7) Lately, the Chefoo magazine has become less interesting to me since fewer persons I have known have been writing in.

“...old C.I.M. Compound at Sinza Rd. The next day we went by train to Hang Chow where we had a good day of sight-seeing. Thursday, 20th September we returned to Hong Kong by train and were sad to think our tour was over. A VISIT TO CHEFOO AFTER SIXTY-FIVE YEARS-bv-J.N.Burgess (1907-16) Unit 32, Grant Centre, Robinson Rd. Baxter, Vic. Australia 3911. A party of 28 arrived in Chefoo, now known as Yantai at 6.am on Sept.15th disembarking from the train at the impressive platform. This was a long double platform, which looked comparatively recent. I could not locate where it was situated from my memories of Chefoo. We were driven by bus to a new Multi-storied hotel near the old Fourth beach.

“...the "old Girls". The high enclosing wall which the military had erected, part of which stood just where the wall of the Girls School separated the Music rooms from the old highway. The "Mashing Bridge" which used to be there was filled in, much to our annoyance. The old Mule Highway was a broad cemented road suitable’ for motor traffic, but occasionally a few mule drawn carts would be seen. Some of our group recognized the hospital and the Doctor's house. Soon after this we got a good view of Chefoo Bay. From Temple Hill we got a good view of the hills, and soon recognized the Knobs, which we used to call Adam, Eve, Cain, and Abel, and in the distance we could identify the Pinnacle. I remember climbing this mountain with Mr. Harris and eight other boys. I still have photos of this group, and I am the sole survivor, as far as I know. Next day we went by bus to Settlement Hill, and on the way there we identified where the old Union Church was and this reminded me of the demure walks with my...”
