Book excerpt: LUSHAN MEMORIES is a book of stories about growing up in China & attending the Kuling American School, KAS, located in the Lushan Mountains of central China. 25 authors who were in China & Kuling before World War II, including Pearl Buck & John Espey, relate personal experiences in those far off days. Lavishly illustrated with 124 pages of photographs, this 236 page 8.5 x 11 inch softbound book is a celebration of a time, a country & a school that, like the old south, has gone with the wind. Those who would ponder the features of an ideal school should read this book. Many-stepped mountain trails through bamboo forests & mountain mists provided the only access to KAS & our spirits rose with every step away from teeming cities, trains & ships. On the mountain there were streams, waterfall pools, snow & frozen mist. Because KAS was small & isolated, nearly everyone boarded & was involved in every activity. Older boys & girls took four day hikes (to separate destinations) during fall & spring breaks. In April the hillsides were covered with red & lavender azaleas, & on May Day a flower could earn a kiss.
