On BL’s first day of school, for example, Father C came over to the classrooms to talk to the school. *He said he would start to tell us about the (Order) traditions, about how discipline was most important for boys, and that while you were under the (Order) at (Prep School), and later at (Senior School), discipline was the most important thing in the school program. He said, “There are a few rules around here. One rule for you younger boys is that you are not allowed to climb trees”, and he pointed to the two big Cyprus trees that used to be between (Building) and the classrooms.” Inevitably, of course, one of the new boys decided to put this to the test, and when caught several branches up was sent home for the day after receiving four cuts for his trouble.
