But he was the kind of teacher you wanted to work for. You felt an obligation to him and to yourself to do your work." "This may sound strange, but a lot of us felt he was too good for us." recalled Garcia.

"We wanted to take advantage of his being here. It was like a blessing from the clear sky." The former pupils, now approaching middle age, recalled that Johnson would allow only English to be spoken in school and on the grounds. "This was for our own good as it forced 1 us to learn correct English," said Miss Juanita Or-; tiz. "'He also made us compete with other schools in the area in debate and declamation.
