It is way too late to say this, but I really think you guys should be romanizing Poe's full given name as "Poem". I'm sure that's how the author intends for it to be read.
Also, it always throws me a little when I see a grade in the 60's being called passing. I know that's how it is in Japan and a lot of other places, but where I grew up, you didn't pass until you reached 70. Actually, in my high school, passing was 73, from some weird reason I never learned.
