EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK
This editorial note is short. I only need to remind readers that because this is the 100th anniversary of the Chefoo Schools Association the main feature this year is a special anniversary issue of the Magazine, which accompanies this brief 2008 issue in this year's mailing. That issue is composed entirely of excerpts from the Chefoo Magazine commencing from our founding year, 1908.
Consequently this 2008 issue includes recent letters to the editor, news, reunions, and obituaries, plus announcements of a few books by Chefusians that have been published re-
cently. Those who submitted articles will, I am sure, appreciate that they will be considered for 2009. Nevertheless, I am sure you will enjoy this small issue as a supplement to the centennial issue.
On another note, are you interested in acquiring one or both of Gordon Martin’s books, Chefoo Schools, 1881-1951, and Schoolmaster Errant? See a fuller notation on this on the bottom of page...”

“...former Chefoo Prep School staff member (1936-1940), Pearl (Galloway) Dobson, who was born within a month of the formation of the Chefoo Schools Association. So 100 was very much on our minds. Pearl cut the birthday cake, and stood up to give a speech for close to 10 minutes. She was also very happy that her son, lain, and grandson, joined her in the celebration.
Our special speaker was none other than Dr. Alvin
Desterhaft, who came all the way from California. He talked about his memories of Chefoo as a child (1939 to 1943), then showed slides and talked about a visit to Chefoo earlier in the month, on a trip organized by Francis Joyce. A total of 53 people attended.
