“...who have likewise spent perhaps the happiest time of their lives at the Schools there. We also hope that it may help to bring about reunions in various parts of the world, between those who would not otherwise have known each others' whereabouts, and who, for Auld Lang Syne, would rejoice to see each other again. Thus we hope to link, not only the past with the present, but those of the past who are scattered, together. (The above editorial was composed by the first editor of the Magazine, Horace W. Hunt, who had attended Chefoo from 1896 to 1900. It appeared in Volume 1, Number 1, Christmas 1908, of The Chefoo Magazine.) Christmas 1988 & 80th Anniversary Issue Anniversaries come and go, each one memorable or forgettable in its own way. One you didn't miss in 1983, because it was forgotten, though it shouldn't have been, was the 75th anniversary or "Diamond Jubilee" of the founding of the Chefoo Schools Association in 1908! As part of the celebrations during the 25th [1933] and 50th [1958]...”

“...500 mark in active membership around the world and steadily approach 600, let us continue to uphold with honour that Chefoo spirit which for 80 years has melded so well the dignity and loyalty of older Chefusians with the ardour and enthusiasm of the younger ones still coming on. This 80th anniversary number, as the fourth issue of The Chejoo Magazine produced in 1988, has been largely an exercise in serendipity, though not without a focus, however fleeting, namely that of the Magazine itself as the very embodiment of the Association. Credit must be given to those who have faithfully brought it to us these past 80 years. A glance at the front cover of this 80th anniversary number will discover a reproduction (reduced) of the very first magazine produced by the Association and bearing the same name as that of today, The Chejoo Magazine, quite in keeping with the word "CHEFOO" borne, as part of the C.S.A. "dolphin" logo, on the front cover for the past 50 years and more. Don’t worry, the dolphin...”

“...book, I Can Trace a Rainbow — "Happiness is Christmas with a Chefoo child in your lap." We cannot but join in the refrain to the prayer expressed by Gordon Martin in his "Litany for Chefoo" — That we who have received so much, may indeed Julfil our course. — F. Robert Joyce **** News Flash **** CHEFOO SCHOOL MALAYSIA S 5 th “YEAR ALERT The School continues to experience serious, ongoing difficulties in obtaining and renewing visas for its staff. Much prayer is sought for the students, parents, staff, and Mission administrators to see Chefoo through this period of stress and tension. The Association has stood behind its Schools for 80 years and rejoiced in the original vision of Hudson Taylor that has seen Chefusians deservedly flourish in healthy and beautiful non-urban surroundings such as those enjoyed in the Cameron Highlands of Malaysia today. The expression of love and interest by Old Chefusians (of all epochs) for "Chefoo" is a vital sustenance to the School today, whether expressed...”

The Academy is not open to the public. Access is offered to C.S.A.

Since it is a privilege accorded us, the Association cannot guarantee automatic and ready admission, especially for very small groups or individuals. While...”

Schools compound now the Yantai Naval Academy. — November 7, 1988 Yes, just as surprised as I was to have found myself pictured sitting up on Bottle Rock (May 4, 1988) at Chefoo (Yantai) in the June 1988 issue of the Mag, so I am even more surprised, to say the least, to find myself appearing above in the Christmas 1988 issue as having returned to Yantai exactly six months later for an even more historic occasion. Historic visit, indeed! Despite many, many requests for permission over the years by Old Boys and Girls, finally on November 7...”

“...The Chefoo Magazine Christmas 1988 7th I became the first Old Chefusian , in over 40 years, to enter Yantai Naval Academy (with permission) and to tour the former property and buildings of our Old Chefoo School. [In 1972, Alfred Crofts had been invited by the Naval Commandant to see his Old School, but was unable to avail himself of the opportunity at the last minute.]The last report of a visit to these grounds by an Old Chefusian came from Stephanos A. Paradissis in "A Letter from Chefoo," dated 27th September 1948 and carried in the July 1949 issue of the CSA Magazine. [Incidentally, the Paradissis ' mansion" still sits up on the East Hill grandly overlooking First Beach, Bottle Rock, and the Bay.] But the significance of the occasion was, above all, the fact that, while the Academy is not open to the public, we as an Association have received reasonable assurance that Members of the Chefoo Schools Association will now be allowed, upon proper application for permission, to enter the grounds...”

“...The Chefoo Magazine Christmas 1988 Association to visit the original Chefoo School. However, friends had been made in China and outside who continued on their own initiative to press for permission. In the late summer, I was thrilled to learn that unofficially permission had been granted, for myself and on behalf of the Association, to visit the Yantai Naval Academy. I immediately planned my return in order to confirm and to finalize the details, as much as possible, of the door finally opening to Old Chefusians. The opportunity to escort a tour group to China for two weeks in late October, plus the kindness of friends of the Association in Canada and China, in particular the hospitality of the Shantung Tourism Corporation, enabled me to get back and to remain on for a third week in order to travel to Yantai once again.

“...The Chefoo Magazine Christmas 1988 After arriving in Yantai on the over-night train from Jinan, the morning was spent getting in touch with the appropriate authorities for final clearance from Beijing for my visit to the Academy. At the agreed hour, three o'clock in the afternoon, a navy officer was waiting for me to proceed by auto to the reception hall in one of the waterfront houses to the East of the Old School compound. After being most cordially welcomed, briefly informed about the naval officer training programme of the Academy, I was then able to explain just how much it would mean for "Old Chefusians" to be able to set foot once again on the soil of China and in particular on that of the former Nei Ti Weh (China Inland Mission) Schools there in Yantai. 1 was asked to outline the particular interest that Members of the C.S.A. (and their families and friends) had in visiting the Naval Academy and which of the buildings were part of the original School complex. First Beach in front...”

“...The Chefoo Magazine Christmas 1988 As I related the story of the establishment and growth of the Chefoo Schools in that place, there was great interest expressed especially when I "illustrated" their history with copies of photos from our C.S.A. Chefoo Archives and maps that I had drawn up showing the locations and dates of past and present School buildings. Reluctantly, I had to insist that I needed to visit the compound itself and see what buildings I could before it grew too dark to take photographs. On behalf of the Association, I gladly donated to the library of the Academy several back issues of The Chefoo Magazine and a copy of Moses Chu's book in Chinese on the history of education in Yantai (including a chapter on the Chefoo Schools and one on the pre-WW II Naval Academy). Before we set out on tour by foot, 1 was graciously informed that permission had not been granted to enter any of the buildings and that photographs would only be allowed on request. In brief, we walked west...”

I was also not permitted, for "lack of time," to get around to the north-side of the Co-Tuition building or to the entrance of Memorial Hall.to view the state of the Memorial Tablet above the door (Since C.S.A. Members raised most of the money to build the hall in 1924, wouldn't it be nice if we could arrange for the restoration of the tablet?!) 12...”

“...The Chefoo Magazine Christmas 1988 View from beach of site of former Boys' School (and tennis court) with B.S. playing field extended eastward. Co-Ed building just visible on left and newer Japanese constructions on the right. New road cut through hills in background. A fine modern Chinese school, attractively surrounded by tree-lined boulevards and beautiful beach houses, now stands where once ours did. The walls around it have physically come down and been replaced by open lattice fences and low decorative walls. All of this seems to be more than symbolic of the new openness of China to friends outside, especially now that Yantai Naval Academy offers us the opportunity to return and visit. Certainly, as an Association, we can also look forward to knowing their school better in the years ahead. I can hardly be more impressed than I was this Spring when, on clambering down from Bottle Rock, I entered into a long conversation with a couple of the Academy's officer cadets, who were out catching...”

“...The Chefoo Magazine Christmas 1988 "My education as it was............................ ............& as I wish it had been" by John G. Weller [The following article was originally presented by Jack as a paper at university at the age of 23 years. Fifty years later he read it again virtually unmodified at the 1987 Chefoo Reunion in Tunbridge Wells, England, not long before his unexpected decease. Jack was a former editor of The Chefoo Magazine.] Pre-school years (1914-20) It was the autumn of 1914. In the Mission Compound of a busy market town of north China, there was voluble rejoicing: for had not the English missionary given birth to twins — no mere girls, but twin boys! Throughout the town the event provided gossip: not every woman had the good fortune, at her first confinement to bring her husband such double wealth of sons. But soon the excitement died down; the red silk scrolls of florid congratulation were rolled up and forgotten: and the small new-comers (of whom I was the younger)...”

“...spring my brother and I parted from our parents for the first time, and were sent to boarding school at Chefoo, on the Shantung coast. School in China (1921-30) The Chefoo Schools had been founded some forty years prviously by one of the missionary societies at work in China: the China Inland Mission. At that time (1880) there were in China no European schools of any standing: and English and European parents were obliged to send their children away to the home-lands for education. The C.I.M. Schools therefore supplied an obvious need, and grew steadily in size and efficiency. By 1921 they had become recognized as ranking with the best-known English schools in the Far East. There were three schools in the one foundation: a preparatory school for children up to the age of ten, and separate secondary schools for boys and girls up to the age of sixteen or seventeen. A better place than Chefoo could hardly have been chosen. The climate is dry, temperate and bracing. The school buildings stand...”

“...our parents. Either they would come to Chefoo (an excellent sea-side resort) for July and August; or we, in the long winter holidays would make the exciting and variegated journey to their station in 'the interior.' In the autumn of 1924 my brother and I moved up together to the 'Boys' School.' Here the system was modelled closely on that of the English public school, with its paraphenalia of codes and loyalties, houses, prefects and monitors, fagging (later abolished), whackings and impots, sport-worship — and the rest. Yet the differences from an English school were strongly marked. There were differences in numbers and age: the school never in my day exceeded a hundred boys, and, of those, very few were older than sixteen. Thus boys were already prefects and monitors at an age when, in an English school, they would only just have emerged from the obscurity of the lower forms. Moreover, during my time and since, the whole character of the schools has been modified. A considerable influx...”
