Mr Sharr then duly gave us all six of the best. Could go on about canings but I will leave it there. Someone was talking in the class, and because Shah did not know who it was he just took a group of us from the area he thought it was coming from, and this happened to me on a couple of occasions, and we all got six on the hands.įor Frank Tepper, the science master, who was a dead shot with either the blackboard rubber or a stick of chalk was “Belt up” or “Gurney” Gough. The Bonk walloped me four-of-the-best on two occasions for failing to submit homework projects on time. 1959, I was playing a game of ‘tag’ with other boys in the Assembly cum Dining Hall. We used a plimsoll to aim at each other to determine who was ‘it’ (tagged). Unfortunately, the lad who I aimed at ducked in time, and I saw the plimsoll sailing through the air and crash through one of the French door window panes. Madley, acting Head at Eden Grove, saw the whole incident and dragged me off to his office for a vicious caning. Wasn’t too popular at home, either, as my parents had to pay for the broken window pane. Other corporal punishment was meted out by the likes of “Killer” Cohen, who relished in his “Hold out your paw, boy” routine, and striking said palm with the two split rulers. I recall one time when (dumb me) I yawned loudly and Mr. The punishment? Being struck on the open palm with either a cane or a plimsoll. Knowing the pain and suffering inflicted by the cane, I chose the plimsoll. If you were sent to stand outside the class for misbehaving you knew that if the Bonk saw you - an automatic caning! Bad decision! The effect was worse that the cane as the whole palm smarted, not just minor areas on the fingers. ‘Percy’ Petherick nearly decked me as I walked into his class to deliver a message. He clearly didn’t like the way I delivered it so he without warning slapped me so hard I saw stars. These days, (quite rightly) he would be gone. I can confirm Froggy Mayer would hit you on the head with the edge of ruler from behind, also the slipper on your backside starting with one slap. I saw it go to three once with the tough recipient very close to tears.
