Madonna attended St. Frederick's and St. Andrew's Elementary Schools, and then West Middle School. There she was known for her high GPA, and achieved notoriety for her "unusual" behavior—particularly a kind of an underwear fetish. Madonna would perform cartwheels and handstands in the hallways between classes, dangle by her knees from the monkey bars during recess, and pull up her skirt during class—all so that the boys could see her briefs.
Tom Hanks
Amos Hanks became a single parent, working long hours and often leaving the children to fend for themselves, an exercise in self-reliance that served the siblings well. In school, Tom Hanks was unpopular with students and teachers alike, telling Rolling Stone magazine: "I was a geek, a spaz. I was horribly, painfully, terribly shy. At the same time, I was the guy who'd yell out funny captions during filmstrips. But I didn't get into trouble. I was always a real good kid and pretty responsible." In 1965, Amos Hanks married Frances Wong, a San Francisco native of Chinese descent. Frances had three children, two of whom lived with Tom during his high school years. Tom Hanks acted in school plays, including South Pacific, while attending Skyline High School in Oakland, California.
