Bethlehem Central Junior High School 1963-1966
 
 
I remember Elfrida Textores, not only was she my homeroom teacher she was also the German teacher. Instead of Auf Wiedersehen (see you later) I would say Elfrida sehen (I see Elfrida)
I believe it was 7th grade Linda Brown talked me into getting up on stage in front of the school in a Archie skit. I was Jughead, my final line was supposed to be something about broke but I used bankrupt instead. Stage fright, forgot my lines. Thus ended my acting career. In 9th grade Bill Steffanick moved up from Ravena and we became friends. Linda had the hots for him and wanted me to hook them up. Bill was a red neck and when Brian Ferguson showed up with long hair he wanted to cut it off. (We were still short haired back then in 65-66). They ended up having a well attended fight just off school property, Bill messed him up but after that he showed Brian a lot more respect for standing up to him. John Tomarow also had long hair and was nicked named Ringo, but I'm not sure if he was after Brian (Scurvey) or just  in other classes. Brian was a favorite of Textores.
