Ah! Memories!

I went to a primary school called 'Glenmoor Primary' a long time ago, about 1977 actually.
I remember it being about 1977 because that was when Star Wars came out and I remember very well running around the playground at playtime with my friends pretending to be Stormtroopers...running around.
Anyhoo, there was a new student who joined our class about half way through the year, but dang it, I just can't remember his name...we shall call him Tobe Hooper for convenience sake.
One day Tobe Hooper came to school with a hat on and was bald underneath. We said to him: 'Hey Tobe Hooper, why are you bald?' To which he replied 'Oh, yeah, ah, my mother made a big mistake when she was cutting my hair so she cut it all off'
'Oh I see' said my friends and I.
But I am beginning to suspect now that Tobe Hooper was not telling the truth. Something just doesn't seem right.
Maybe I can find out.
But I just can't remember his flingin' flangin' name.
