I attended Jackson Jr. High from 1975 to '76 for 7th grade. It was indeed a dangerous school. There were frequent fights involving girls, boys. There was this unwritten rule of safety: never hang out by yourself (or you risked being bullied, threatened.) My parents had no idea how scary this school was. Some of you have mentioned a woman named Olga Campos. The name sounds familiar and I wonder if someone can tell me what years she attended. I remember I had a friend named Sophia who lived across the street and was very close to her father. I had another friend named Bridget, I believe, who wore braces and had long red hair. Anyone know these girls/ladies? I also remember this really tough Latina named Deena who used to smoke on campus. One day, the teacher walked out, probably to the restroom and Deena broke out the Marlboro's and smoked right there, inside the classroom. Anyone remember her? I also recall this other girl named Mary Bean. She was always in trouble for smoking and I remember the principal, (Principal Morgan?) yelling at her in his office one day and he screamed out her name, 'Mary Bean!' She walked out of his office with a tissue in her hand, crying, muttering something about why she smoked. It sounded like she was telling him she had a broken home or something and just didn't care so why should he, something to that effect. She was blond with long hair. Also, there were two gym teachers I remember. One was African American and all the girls loved her. I don't remember her name. All the girls, however, didn't care for this other teacher whose last name was Theofilu. The kids pronounced her name Theofilia. Can anyone tell me anything about her? I went by Magdalena at the time but my name is Maya. Thanks in advance for your comments!
