“...Corbett Academy in the Temple Hill district of Chefoo. In the chaos in China following the end of World War II, he and his wife left Tsingtao in 1948 for Taiwan and then Hong Kong. They eventually emigrating to Africa. In Mauritius and then Tanzania, Moses Chu became a successful textile manufacturer before coming to the United States with his wife and three children. In his retirement years, Mr. Chu has become an historian, researching and writing extensively about Chefoo and missionary work in China. Most of his articles have appeared in Shantung Digest. He has collected an exten- sive archive of photographs and memorabilia of Chefoo. A stamp collector since he was seven years old (1922), Moses Chu is seeking information about the stamps pictured here from his stamp album. According to Mr. Chu, Robert Hart, an Irishman, helped the Imperial Chinese Government to form a Post Office in 1878. He presumes that a branch post office was opened in Chefoo that year. i treir-M.isxJj Foreign governments...”

“...special going back to Chefoo and the Camerons. Then to Auckland - CONWAYS: Christchurch - McKESSARS: Invercargit - HEATHER CALDER. Wonderful weather and great to get away from a wet and miserable home country. Am still involved in teaching at my church 6-11 year olds, missionary council and my daily work with social services Child and Family Centre. Would value prayer as I wait for an MRI scan. I have a problem with my right collar bone. I have been told a biopsy will be necessary once all tests have been done. It was good to have CHRIS MACQUEEN join the Chefoo committee. Many of you will have received our special invitation to the reunion in London. DOUGLAS H EMMOTT I was at Chefoo for a few years until 1938 when I was sent at age 11 or 12 to Eltham College, London - the school for sons of missionaries as it was then called.

“...30’s and 40’s. Returning to England I was a lecturer in Sheffield City Polytechnic (now Hallam University) from 1965 to 1981 when I retired early. Now my main activity is with a charity called the Sheffield Association for the Voluntary Teaching of English which I chair. This arranges for volunteers to go into homes once a week to help individuals whose first language is not English. It also runs classes. I was very interested in the contents of the magazine, and particularly about the pirated SSTungchow as my parents were sailing, after marriage in Shanghai, northwards on their honeymoon when the pirates took over the ship. My mother was a nurse and helped the captain, who later had to have a leg amputated after gunshots. My mother was rewarded for her help. My sister JOAN stayed at Chefoo until 1939 when she went with our mother, on the first convoy from Canada to England. She went to Eltham’s sister school, Walthamstow Hall at Sevenoaks until the boarders were evacuated to Shropshire. Is...”

“...is whether we allow our Lord to hold both situations in balance. I shall not be continuing as Secretary but we hope that the younger folk from S E Asia emerging from schools and hostels will take up the cudgels and encourage each other in their faith. ERYL MARTIN (Staff, Malaysia 1981-90) Recently visited BARBARA LONGRIDGE - Chefoo Staff 1981-90, in New Zealand, and spent a week with BIDDYTAYLOR - OMF Indonesia. I’m her ’link’ person with our home church in Southampton. It was good to be back in Asia. AMY MOORE I have just had a second cataract operation and sometimes feel a bit wobbly on my legs. I refuse to use a stick (pride) but am often glad to have somebody’s strong right arm to support me. In spite of that DOROTHY feels that I should go with her to Canada in August to see Doug Moore and all Percy’s page 6 The Chefoo Magazine ♦ Summer 1999...”

“...violin and piano - Sally cello and piano, Rosie violin and possesses a beautiful voice and young James is learning piano and is a member of the West Linton Pipe Band and is mad about rugby and golf! I often wonder what Chefoo friends are doing - MARGARET TRICKEY, ELSPETH WALKER, KATHLEEN ROUSE, JOAN CROFT and GRACE ENGLUND - plus many more. My very best wished to all for a happy 1999. I manage to attend the Edinburgh Reunion each year and just love it! MARGARET (CLAYTON) RODWAY (1934-41) I had a lovely time last month (December) - my sister FAITH (CLAYTON) MacG AH AN came to visit her daughter Joyce Rawlings and they came to lunch. Faith’s home is in Paraguay and I didn’t expect to see her again. JOY SCOTT (Malaysia 1960-67) I hope to pay my first return visit to Chefoo in February 1999. No doubt everywhere will seem so small! I continue to work in N E Cambodia with aYWAM team and life is full in every area. We see encouraging signs of God meeting and revealing Himself to these people....”

“...who are taking the initiative to translate the Scriptures into some language which as yet does not have the Bible.The ’Translators Notes' are in English, designed to be usable by people who know English as a ’second language', up to 10th grade level. The Notes treat exegetical problems and also translation problems that arise when a person translates material from the Bible into a language dissimilar in structure and idioms that pertain to Greek and to the cultures of Bible times. page 8 The Chefoo Magazine ♦ Summer 1999...”

“...and may the Lord richly bless you each one. VIRGINIA COOPER DAVIS (1934-37) I hear update news of Yantai from two different friends who have major interests there: Emery Williams, formerly in charge of Sears Roebuck Overseas, and Tim Tinken of Tinken Steel who have major businesses there and go frequently. The article form China Today was interesting. Maybe CIM should again be there as it was for so many families - missionary and others! I expect its sixty years in Chefoo have been expunged from the community memory. The Chefoo Magazine ♦ Summer 1999 page 9...”

“...help keep me busy and active. My sister, ALICE BURR, also a former student in the CIM schools at Chefoo, lives in Richmond, VA - so we get to see each other frequently. Last September, my son, Eric and his wife, Vanda, took her mother and me on a cruise to Alaska. We thoroughly enjoyed touring Vancouver and Victoria before the cruise and the cruise itself was a wonderful experience. VAUGHN DICKSON EARLY (1928-36) I am still living in Florida and still swim in the ocean quite frequently. I have three grandchildren and one great-granddaughter. My sister, KATHERINE, will be visiting me at Easter. She lives in, Oak Ridge, Tennessee. ETHEL lives in Asheville, North Carolina. We Dicksons often get together in N. Carolina in the summers. I always enjoy reading about Chefusians. Recently I saw a bottle ofYantai beer in a store. My, how that city has grown. I still remember the long walks to the Union Church in Chefoo, and the river ’Eau de Cologne.’ DONALD GIBSON (1934-40) Elizabeth's and my lives...”

“...gelical Alliance Mission known as TEAM. ANDREW HAZELAND (1921 -25) The last of my Chefoo contemporaries (who taught me spelling at Chefoo?!) living here died last winter - RONALD PURVES SMITH. Such a nice person and we got a great deal of pleasure from each other - at least I did. Previous to that we would meet together with BOB CONYERS HEWITT, another contemporary but we lost him about 3 years ago. I suppose, as a nonagenarian I shouldn’t be surprised by this. Also living quite near me are BARBARA McCALL and ELIZABETH COOPER both of whom I think were at Chefoo. MARY RUTH HOWES (1938-42) In May 1998 I attended my 45th (!) anniversary class reunion at Wheaton College in Wheaton, II (Class of 1953). It was a lovely surprise to see ATHENE COOK JOHNSTON and GRACE WOODBERRY, both of whom were in my class in Chefoo as well as at Wheaton. I am retired from full time work, but do editing at home which helps pay the mortgage! Last year, thanks to an insurance policy which matured, I was able to...”

A thousand thank yous are not enough for your gift to all of us. With every issue you give us heartfuls of memories. JEAN (SPENCE) ROBERTS (1931 -40) Please keep up the good work.

“...Wrenford Street, Dayton, Ohio 45409 AUSTRALIA JULIA FARRINGTON (Chefoo Malaysia 1986-91) What a privilege it is to be an MK! I was able to stay with old friends from Chefoo in between looking after my grandparents in the UK over Christmas 1998. CESCA BRASCHI is studying speech therapy at University College, London, SIMON BRASCHI is at Norwich studying biology, LAWRENCE BRASCHI is in China teaching English. DAN PESKETT has a naval scholarship and is at Southampton studying mechanical engineering. GRAHAM McCULLOCH is on a gap year and is in Bolivia on a STEPTeam Mission helping at a school for children with hearing impairment. He is currently recovering from an encounter with typhoid! When he returns he plans to study mechatronics (I can’t remember which university - somewhere up north). All this catching up with people and reminiscing over our old photo albums led to (very sketchy at this stage) plans for a reunion at Chefoo, Malaysia in 2n02. I’d love to hear from anyone whose class graduated...”

Steven also showed a handful of slides we received from Dr. Donald Gibson (he missed the reunion for the first time in many years), of a Chefoo outing in the summer of 1966. Interestingly, few people were recognized.

“...would have great fun scrambling out on to this frozen world but always heeding the warning not to [3] - The British game of fives is much like the American game of handball, being played with gloved hands and a small rubber ball against a court's front and side walls. When I was at Chefoo the two fives courts in the Boy’s School quadrangle were mostly used for a game for two people with tennis racquets and balls, there being a wooden board at tennis-net height fixed to the court’s front wall. While the side walls were used to play off, as in the games of fives and handball, I seem to remember that scoring was as in table tennis. “Meet me behind the fives court,” were words dreaded by any young boy at Chefoo. It indicated that an older boy intended to teach the younger one a lesson not to cheek him ever again. Being out of sight of any part of the school building it was also a place for boys to settle their differences in a brawl. The hat room was another recognized place for brawling as...”

“...few months after Arnold and Edna had graduated and, accompanied by Mother, left for England via theTrans-Siberian Railway, the Chefoo harbour froze over solid. The thick ice trapped half a dozen freighters. Crews and stevedores could actually walk between ships and shore, some even hired rickshaws to carry them and their provisions out to the vessels. When I got home that Christmas holiday I found that pack ice had blown in from the ocean and covered over the bay, from the Weihaiwei Mainland right out to the Island, a distance of two to three miles. Freighters cautiously entering or leaving the harbour cut grey-green tracks through the floe but the displaced ice soon returned and its coverage was again complete. The Chefoo School had a trimester year - beginning in September with autumn, spring and summer terms. School holidays were different from boarding schools in Britain in that we had six weeks in summer, a fortnight in the spring and then two months - December and January - for our...”

“...through many a lesson period. Once the examinations were over and while we waited for them to be marked and the results pinned to the form-room notice board, I would begin to get anxious over the inevitable bad day or two with my father before I could enjoy what the long holiday had in store. During my years at Chefoo I never started to read the listing of examination results from the top down. Knowing my name would be near the end, if not actually last, I would work my way up from the bottom. My mathematic, science and art marks were fairly respectable but the scores for other subjects were dismal. The only other thing that put a sour note in my anticipating the Christmas holidays was the assigned reading between terms. One year it was Silas Marner, another year it was Joseph Addison’s The de Coverley Papers. Never was it the Chums Annual or a year’s worth of the Hotspur comic or even The Boys’ Own Paper. If any of these had been the holiday task I would have learned to enjoy reading much...”
