Dennis had been summoned to the Headmistress, Miss Adams.
His form teacher, Miss Caneworthy, brought him to the special school room of corrective “punishment.”
This room is used for special boys whose intention is to cause havoc in the school.
This has to be addressed in a special way.
Miss Caneworthy brought him in. Waiting for him was Miss Adams, who was appalled to hear of his misdemeanour’s’.
It was time to take him to task!
And so they began his punishment, all with the Singapore cane. He was made to bend over the school desk, each misdemeanour was read out clearly so that he was aware of his situation.
They took it in turns to punish him and he received 75 strokes from each. 150 of the hardest strokes!
After this his bottom was attended to with dressings, and he was sent home in disgrace!
(Photos of his bottom can be seen on Fetlife)
