“...11 Chefoo Magazine, 2018 The Delegates Representing the Chefoo Schools Association Keith Butler Keith was born in Guiyang, Guizhou in 1934, where his parents were missionaries with the China Inland Mission. His family was from Australia, although his mother had been born in China to parents who were also missionaries in Guizhou. During the Sino-Japan War Keith's family stayed in 'Free China' until the end of 1944, as the Japanese had not taken Guizhou Province. But the family was then evacuated to India, then moved on to Australia, their home country. The family returned to China in 1947, and Keith and his two sisters attended the Chefoo School, first in Shanghai, then in Lushan, Jiangxi from 1947 - 51. Keith returned to Australia where he completed his secondary education, followed by university studies in Melbourne, specializing in architecture. He spent a career designing churches throughout Australia. He married a teacher and has three daughters. He and his wife moved to a retirement...”

“...13 Chefoo Magazine, 2018 Opening Ceremony at the Yantai Municipal Museum The speeches during the ceremony have been translated into English or Mandarin, depending on who gave them, because this issue of the Chefoo Magazine will be shared with people in Yantai who were an important part of this exhibition, including the ViceMayor, Zhang Bo, some of whom are not fluent in spoken or written English. In due course Chen Haitao, who was authorized to translate Gordon Martin's Chefoo School, 1881 to 1951, will no doubt translate this entire issue in Chinese. Opening remarks by Host Yin Guowen, the Director of the Foreign Affairs Office, Yantai Municipal Government Distinguished Leaders, Guests, good Morning!

“...14 Chefoo Magazine, 2018 Speech by Ian Grant, Chefoo Schools Association Vice-Mayor Zhang Bo and honored guests, M r|Jfx, S-'fji.JfeA?, I bring greetings from the many members of the Chefoo Schools Association. We are the alumni of the Chefoo School. More than 2000 students attended the school here in Yantai from the time it was established in 1881 until the school was interned at Weifang by the Japanese in 1943. After the War the school was re-established in Shanghai, and then at Lushan, Jiangxi. There were several small Chefoo Schools in East Asia following our days in China, the most prominent being in Malaysia, which was closed in 2001. However, the Chefoo Schools Association, made up of alumni of the schools, and the annual Chefoo Magazine, of which I am editor, have both been operating continuously for 110 years.

“...my warm welcome and compliments to all the delegates from the Chefoo Schools Association, to everybody attending this event, as well as every friend from the media! In the year of 1879, Mr. James Hudson Taylor chose Yantai and established China Inland Mission School, which was named Chefoo School in 1881. This school with beautiful seaside location has been known as "the best school east of Suez Canal", just because of its typical British curriculum under strict administration. Chefoo School has created indelible history with its unique and legendary experiences together with the proud school tradition during its development process in Yantai, in China, and even in the other parts of the world. 1879^.

“...A comment on Moon. He grew up in Lushan where he has spent most of his life. In the 'eighties his father was curator of the Lushan Botanical Gardens, where the family lived. For the past twenty years Moon has been a constant friend and facilitator on the many visits to Lushan by former students, their families and friends, both from the Kuling American School, and the Chefoo School. In 2012, when the CSA-sponsored trip to former sites of the Chefoo School visited Guling by a delegation of 15 Chefusians and family members, we decided Moon was worthy of being awarded an honorary membership of the Chefoo Schools Association. He was, to my knowledge, the first person from China to have accepted this honour, and was joined in March of this year by a second remarkable member in the person of Li Xin at Yantai (see page 10 of this issue)....”

“...41 Chefoo Magazine, 2018 DEPARTURE FROM KULING, FOR THE LAST TIME By Sterling H. Whitener, excerpts taken from his memoir, In the Shadow of the Pagoda (2013), pp. 56-59 Preamble, by Ian Grant Sterling ata potteryfactory at Jingdezhen, Jiangxi, during the Kuling American School Association reunion to Lushan, 2007. Chefusians were also invited, five of whom joined over 40 from KASA. terling Whitener attended the Kuling American School in the 1930s, leaving when the school closed in 1937 as the Japanese moved up the Yangtze River, threatening to take Kiukiang (now Jiujiang), and then Lushan. This is his account of leaving Kuling at that time. Those of us who were at Kuling 13 years later had a similar experience as the Chefoo School, too, closed its doors for the last time, this time following the establishment of a communist government, and hastened by the Korean War that pitted China against the United States. Both schools left Kuling divided into several groups, or parties as we called...”

“...so for many years—for Toronto since 1913, or for 105 years. I gave an overview of my personal history with the Chefoo School, and my involvement in the Chefoo Schools Association since the 1970s. I mentioned that I took over as chairperson of the North America Branch of the Association in 1998 following the very untimely and tragic death of David Michell. In 2003 I took on the roll of editor and publisher of the Chefoo Magazine, and shortly after that I arranged for the opening of a North America CSA archival collection at the Billy Graham Library at Wheaton College near Chicago. It is connected with the CIM/OMF collection that has been located there for many years. Following this a gave an overview of the development of the Yantai Municipal Museum permanent display of the Chefoo School, amply covered earlier in this issue. Finally, I touched briefly on the closing of the Chefoo Magazine, and the several follow-up tasks, such as digitizing the magazines from 1908 to now, and consulting with...”

“...Headmaster, Chefoo Malaysia, John Miller has been an Honourary Vice-President of the Chefoo Schools Association for many years. He was designated this position by virtue of his having been the headmaster of Chefoo Malaysia for ten years. His late wife Sheila is the author of Pigtails, Petticoats and the Old School Tie, a history of the Chefoo School commissioned by OMF to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Chefoo School. Their son, Jonathan wrote on Facebook: "My Dad died today. John Miller passed away peacefully in his sleep this morning. His decline had been rapid and he did not suffer long. He was 84. The highlight of Dad's life - and of my Mum's -- was their decade at Chefoo School, Malaysia, he as headmaster, my Mum as a teacher. They loved the generations of Chefusians who passed through, forged powerful bonds with both children and staff and kept in touch with many of them. They understood well the pain of separation. Dad and I were talking of his vivid memories of Chefoo as recently...”
