Nile C. Kinnick High School in Japan correspondence and photographs, 1960-1968

1962: Front

HISTORY OF NILE C. KINNICK HIGH SCHOOL
Yo-Hi has grown in reputation, spirit, and size since a three-story stucco building
was requisitioned by the Eighth Army to accomodate American dependents of high
school age. The first high school building, formerly known as the Japanese Girls Commercial College, was located on the West Bluff overlooking Yokohama City. From 1946 until 1952 when the school was returned to the Japanese, the Bluff School housed high school students.
The Nasugbu Beach School, Yo-Hi's present location, was also formerly a Japanese school. After the end of World War II, it was one of the few buildings to be left standing in Naka-ku. Elementary, junior high, and senior high school students are
taught in the nine main buildings and annexes of this school.
The Navy replaced the Army as administrators of dependent schools in the Yokohama area in the school year 1959-1960. At that time, Yo-Hi was renamed Nile C. Kinnick American High School, a name we shall always say with pride.
The influences of the graduates of Nile C. Kinnick High School are to be found
in many parts of the world. Many have made fine records in some of America's most distinguished colleges and universities. We take pride in our school's high standards, and in the accomplishments of its graduates.
