amazing how that woman has remained in the memories of so many of us all these years...I can hardly look at my finger nails without remembering her inspections... I wonder how a local school board would deal with her now...

I think it was actually spelled Emeric. I also had her in 3rd grade; and we used to say Emer-ICK! She sure was strict. As I think about it now, she should have retired years before; she was a difficult, nasty old lady, and really seemed to dislike kids. Can anyone justify calling an 8 year old a "bad egg?" She did that constantly to many kids. A rarity at PS164, fortunately.

Hello, just joined the group... attended PS164 K-6 grade, "graduated" in 1958. I remember Mrs. Bromberg, Mrs. Rosenberg, and especially MRS. EMERICK... I hope I spelled her name correctly, as I think everyone who had her in the 3rd grade would rememeber her.

I finished in 1961, all my teachers were: kindergarten: Meade & Zobler, 1st: Mrs Weintraub, 2nd. Mrs Bloom, 3rd. Miss Schmidt, 4th Mrs Rosenberg, 5th, Mrs. Bromberg, 6th, Mrs. Giordano. I was in the Glee Club with Mrs Bromberg - we did South Pacific - I even remember my part, and I remember Eddie Siegel played the part of HOney Bun. I'm 61 and still talk about that play!!

Mr Gulkin was a contributing writer for "How and Why Wonder Books" in science. I was one of his science monitors. I would go around the school and demonstrate a variety of science experiments. I would usually volunteer to make these "rounds" when he would start a math lesson. I hated math. As a result, my math skills were seriously compromised as a young adult. I wonder if he ever noticed that I left the room at the same time (almost every day)?

I have the same memory of Mrs. Berman. Couldn't stand her. And the feeling was mutual. One time I forgot
my pencil and despite her deskful of them, and to teach me a lesson. she gave me one of those old fashioned crayons that was as round
as your wrist! LOL!!
