“...EDITOR S COMMENTS There have indeed been many moments of high drama in the life of the Chefoo Schools over the past 105 years. However, few have been as fall of portent for the future or as fraught with long-lasting nostalgia as the final trek of the Srhool out of the land of its birth, China. That last Chefoo School in China, high up on Ruling mountain, closed its doors to staff and students on April 22nd, 1951. But the journey was short, for within the year the first of the new Chefoo Schools was opening its doors - this time a transplantation outside of China. Almost unwittingly Chefoo School Ruling served as a transition between the old Chefoo and the new Chefoos. The first Ruling School (1909-15) was a preparatory school for the younger children of the Mission and constituted an early initiative to establish "Chefoo" schools in different locations. The second and last Ruling School (1947-51) also had few senior students; it was there, in 1947, that the School's name was formally changed...”

“...CHEFOO CHINA THE RULING SCHOOLS The name "Chefoo" has twice been associated with Ruling (Lushan) mountain located in the heart of China, near the city of Riukiang, in the province of Riangsi. From 1909 to 1915, the China Inland Mission situated a Preparatory School there. This first period ended when, in 1915, the Prep School was destroyed by fire, fortunately with no loss of life; the School had been established by Mr. and Mrs. Lindsay to provide a more convenient location for some of the Mission’s children. In 1942 , as the struggle of the Second World War deepened, the buildings of the China Inland Mission School at Chefoo (Yentai) were taken over by the Japanese occupying forces. With the end of the War, the temporary exile of students and staff at Riating, Weihsien, and Ralimpong, India, was over. In 1946, the C.I.M. regrouped the School in the Mission's Shanghai headquarters. By the end of 1947, the entire School, now officially named as the Chefoo School, was transferred to its new...”

“...Killing, being one of the health resorts of Central China, has its "Season," when more than 1,200 people wend their way up to escape the damp heat of the plain. Then all is rush and excitement; we residents prefer spring. the quiet of autumn, winter and We have a fine church, capable of seating comfortably some 700 people. In thi s bui Id i ng a convention is held each summer. May I, in conclusion, ask you to couple the name Ruling with Chefoo when you pray for God's blessing to rest upon the schools. We were delighted with Mr. Bailer's name for our little scholars — "An handful of corn upon the top of the mountains" (Psalm lxxii.16). May it indeed be so.

“...memorial ta her should reflect the benefit that Cornford House (the home for retired C.I.M./O.M.F. missionaries has been to so many Old Chefusians, former Chefoo staff, and parents of Chefusians. As some shelterec housing is being planned to be built in the grounds of Comford House, it was suggested that there might be some specific item included in the plans. A plaque would record that this was in memory of Miss Broomhall and would be a reminder of her interest in and her long service for the Schools. Further news about this memorial, as it becomes available, will be given in the Magazine.

“...there was our 84-year-old mother, Rachel (Newton) Dickson. And the bravest member VAUGHN whose husband Lloyd Early died two months before. It was great to hear one of the younger generation exclaim, 'I'm proud to be part of this family!' Naturally, we'll all try to make it in five years' time to David and Carol's summer home on the New Jersey coast, for our next reunion. David reminds us so much of our father, Dr. John R. Dickson.

Now I am wondering if I'll live to see the re-appearance of Halley's comet. Mrs. McCarthy took a few of us boys up to the roof of the old school building to view the spectacle the last time around, and it was an awe-inspiring sight. My wife and I spent several weeks visiting one daughter and her husband in North Miami during the winter. Very refreshing. I had an accident a few months ago; fell and dislocated my right shoulder. It puts me out of commission for gardening and other chores I used to enjoy, and I cannot drive a car. It makes me very dependent on my wife which makes me sad. But we get along, thank the Lord." — {640 W. 238th Street, Bronx, New York 10463} FERN GRIFFIN [1931-41] — "I have retired from the Telephone Company and have a part-time job at the D.M.

“...Communists moving into Shanghai, Winnie's husband lost his business and the Shanghai home. The family finally settled in Toronto in 1948. In 1952 they moved to St. Catherines, Ontario, for four years, and then returned to Toronto. When her husband died in 1971, Winnie continued to live in the same home until her death.
