“...how endearing the Chefoo Schools were to their students and teachers, year after year. We in the CSA are quite unique, in my experience, in that our mission school alumni association has endured for over a hundred years, and still is going strong, although as we all know very well, with no Chefoo schools in existence any longer, and the last one in China having closed 57 years ago, we are a dying breed. But we will go down fighting, of that I am certain. I have had a number of ideas over the past six months on how to structure this centennial issue, but in the end I decided to organize it into an historical account. Not that it is in any way an attempt to create a history of the Chefoo Schools, but simply to give the reader a reflection of the significant periods of their histories, commencing in 1908 when the Association was formed. So I have divided the issue into these sections: The First Decade; Between the War Years; World War II; Post WWII China; Post China Schools and Hostels; and...”

“...Magazine, with the sub-title: The Organ of The Chefoo Schools Association. As you can see from the following pictures, the cover has changed many times over the years, sometimes returning to an earlier version, and sometimes taking a significant new course. Perhaps the most memorable change was in December 1935, shortly after the new and continuing logo of the Chefoo Schools Association was developed, with the wonderful depiction of the Chefoo dolphin, accompanied by the block of Chinese characters that depicted the motto, Chefoo, Old Scholars Association. This logo has been an affectionate constant over the ensuing years. It has also been used on envelopes, letterhead, and even lapel pins, brooches and ties. We should mention the magazine name, Chefusian. This was the title of a magazine that appeared in the 1930s, the same size and a similar format to the Chefoo Magazine. However it was not an organ of the Chefoo Schools Association, but was produced by staff and students attending the school...”

“...old boys met at the invitation of E.S. Elliston, to consider ways and means for the formation of an Association. Those interested in Chefoo history will therefore note that the birth of the Chefoo Schools’ Association took place at 91 New Oxford Street, London, on Wednesday, January 29th, 1908. The next step was of course, to invite the cooperation of the old girls, and the first joint Committee Meeting was held, by the kindness of W.D. and Mrs. Mudditt at Walthomstow, and it was in this meeting that the rules of the Association were drawn up. . . It is earnestly hoped that the Association may be the means of keeping old scholars in constant touch with the schools, and with each other, for perhaps few of us realize how much we owe to the time spent at Chefoo and the splendid atmosphere of the schools. To this end, all shoulders to the wheels. Let each do his part to make the Association a credit to ourselves, a credit to the schools, and a credit to Him, Whose service has led to the foundation...”

“...(Chefoo Magazine, December 1935) At the suggestion of many younger Old Chefusians that a more distinctive badge and crest should be adopted for the Association, the Committee have given this matter careful consideration. While it is not usually desirable to make a change so soon, it was felt that a real up-to-date improvement could be effected by adopting for the Association an emblem which would be distinctive and have some definite pictorial reference to Chefoo. A number of designs were submitted and carefully considered by the Committee. The final selection rested on one drawn by our “budding” architect, Theo Hirst. In this, the emblem may be described as a Chinese dolphin— referring to Chefoo’s position by the sea—with a Chinese seal, the special characters on which are intended to convey the meaning of “Chefoo—Old Scholars’ Association.” ♦...”

“...homes in Tundbridge Wells, as well as other friends, found a warmer reception inside. The doors were flung open to welcome all who crowded in, and from the first moment there was an atmosphere of warm-hearted hospitality. Maxwell House is yet one more addition to the long list of evidences that God-Jehovah Jireh does provide for all who trust Him. This residence for the children of missionaries who are working in the new fields was kindly made available to the Mission by the Medical Missionary Association. It is a large house, accommodating between twenty and thirty children, as well as staff, and was unfurnished. But during the afternoon, sitting on comfortable chairs and settees, admiring the shaded lights, the pictures, the ornaments, the carpets and general furnishings, we heard how God had provided it all. A legacy of furniture from South Wales was something of an unknown quantity, but when the moving-van disgorged its contents the same day on which Mr. and Mrs. Gaussen moved in to take...”

“...blessed (I think) in having a ‘Jehu’ for a driver, and made the distance in 3 hours. Over half of the road is now a divided highway and this certainly helped. The other sections of the road had us on the edge of our seats much of the time, as we frequently had two or three trucks dodging swarms of bicycles converging toward us a break-neck speed. On reaching Chefoo, we were given a warm welcome by Mr. Yang, Chairman of the Yantai Municipal Committee of the China Democratic National Construction Association, and before we knew it we were in the midst of a 14-course banquet. A friend of Norman’s, who was a lecturer at the Yantai University, came to join us. Knowing our time was limited we contrived to retreat from the banquet. At 2.30 pm, under the escort of two secretaries at the naval base, we were able to get into the old school compound. We noticed a new wall along the front of the compound, a little lower than the one I remember sitting on as I dangled my legs, watching the boys come in about...”

“...responsibilities, Mrs. McCarthy was his helpmeet and counselor, and while it is perfectly true that Mr. McCarthy was most severe on wrong-doing, I do not think I am exaggerating if I say that many of us looked upon Mr. and Mrs. McCarthy as our “Parents away from home”. It was while at Chefoo that I first learned to pray aloud in public through attendance at the boys’ prayer meeting, which, sponsored by Mr. McCarthy, had been arranged to take place each Wednesday evening between tea and Prep. The Association which began in Chefoo developed in later years into a deep and lasting friendship, which continued right up to his home-call. After he returned to this country from China, he and Mrs. McCarthy frequently visited us in our home and showed the greatest interest in us and our children and all we were doing with a strong emphasis on the spiritual. He came on several occasions to speak at a Young People’s Mission of which I was Superintendent, and he was most interested in the work and its development...”
