Hi, My family lived in Kanto Mura from 1970-73. I attended Chofu elementry from 6th grade to 8th grade. I remember a Ms. Kunze as a science teacher. There is a Chofu group on FACEBOOK. I posted a school picture from 1970. I don't know names of everyone, but maybe some of you all would know some of the folks.
I'll try those links. As for www.chofu.org, I've been a member of that site for several years, and while it's open to anyone interested in the long-closed Kanto Mura Family Housing Annex, it's primary focus is Chofu High School alumni.
For those not already aware of this, there's a really awesome facebook group for "alumni of Chofu High School, Chofu Middle/Jr. High School, and Chofu Elementary School" but really it's for anyone who lived on or near Kanto Mura Family Housing Annex. Reconnect with old friends or meet new ones!

There were two schools, Chofu Elementary and Chofu High School. There was also a youth center, day care center, Library, theater, chapel, medical clinic, base exchange, commissary and a small air field. The annex also had quarters not only for enlisted men, women and their families but also for commissioned officers.
This article explores the Japanese history of women’s adult social education after the Second World War and presents a case study of the women’s classes held in Chofu City. Under the Allied Occupation following the war, the democratisation of Japan was urgent, and developing women’s adult education was indispensable.
