Talk:Hibiya High School

Tokyo First M S and First Tokyo (City) M S are separate schools
Ⅰam a Hibiya high school graduate of the Tokyo living. Not so good at English. I chiefly take an active part in a Japanese version.

After World War II, the First Tokyo City Middle School that Saburo Ienaga had passed became a Kudan high school. Though the Tokyo First Middle school became a Hibiya high school after World War II. These are separate schools. --219.125.0.119 (talk) 09:20, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Japanese historian Saburo Ienaga, who attended First Tokyo City Middle School (which later changed its name to Kudan High School after World War II) in the late 1920s when it was located in Hanzōmon, near the Imperial Palace and Tokyo First Middle School, described the school's unique characteristics and educational philosophy in his 2001 autobiography: students wore Western-style suits instead of the standard high-collared Japanese boys' school uniform (a practise suggested to have been inspired by Eton and Harrow), the principal forced students to swim in the middle of winter and ignored the complaints of parents who worried this might endanger or even kill their children, and the teaching style emphasised extracurricular activities even at the expense of preparation for examinations.
