Show OHI E&G Aguayo 3-12-85 sl:7 EA Oh, there's just something you don't find nowadays. I mea~, you see them, and it's like going back - I think - has a lot to do with it. You remember some of the good times that you had. Which were mostly, like I said, my grad~ school days were very happy. That's thereason I think I love to see some of the kids. L How do you remember teachers? GA I don't really remember their hitting me. I can't say--maybe I've blocked .it out of my mind. But I don't realy-- you know, I can't remember my grade school. Like Isaid, my first year, I don't remember at all. From ~about the third grade, !remember a little. I start to remember a little. But I don't really recall the first grade-you know, trying to learn. I know I must have been really having trouble. BecauseI can just imagine, you know-- then I know I was held bac~ inthe first grade. But I really can't remember. Iremember it later. You know, 4th-5th-6th. I remember that. I don't remember being hit. And I don't recall really anyone else. I know that theyysed to get smart with the rulers and that. But (laughs) Of course, I don't know what happened when they got taken to theprincipal's office. I don't recall ever going there (laughs) but I know once and a while, somebody'd go .... Maybe t~ey took care of them out there. EA My younger brother got expelled in the 6th grade for fighting And I remember I had to go. I was out of high school - by then. |
