Welcome to the Narimasu Alumni Association website! 

How many American high school kids share the memory of climbing Mount Fujiyama --one of the most famous mountains in the world?  Or of seeing it on the horizon every single morning on the way to school? 

How many can say they rode horses on the grounds of the Emperor’s Palace in Tokyo?  How many were introduced to the humor of soon-to-be-world-famous author Shel Silverstein by way of The Stars and Stripes, or even know who Ernie Pyle was, let alone watched films and stage shows in an entertainment complex named after him? How many have witnessed an authentic Japanese tea ceremony, or wandered the grounds of an ancient Shinto shrine?

Those are just a few of the many things we were lucky enough to experience growing up as military brats with fathers posted to the Far East.

At Narimasu gatherings and reunions I’ve attended throughout the years, there has never been a time when there wasn’t a group of alums gathered together recalling their shared adventures and memories.

This year the Class of 1959 is celebrating its 50^th anniversary, and the Class of ‘69 its 40^th. Wherever and whenever you gather, I am sure your conversations will be similar: “Do you remember…?”  “And what about the time…? 

Granted, similar conversations happen at all high school reunions, but only Narimasu Dragons pepper our recollections with words like Ikebukuro, Shinjuku, Harajaku, the Ginza, Nikko, Kamakura and Osaka. And, of course, Fuji-san!
