You were reminded of your offence, told the number of swats you were to receive, told of the punishment rules (stay in position, no covering with your hands) and made to bend over a small table in her office
. There was a connecting rod between the legs of the table that you would hold on to for dear life, and your butt would be prominently displayed for the paddle’s attentions.
Miss Cuthbert would pull up your nylon shorts to keep everything tight over your behind and then she picked up the paddle
. It was about 2ft long, about 4in wide and made out of some dark wood.
The handle was wrapped with athletic tape to afford the spanker a better grip.
