The prefect caned the boy for burning his toast and the whole thing looked like a case of bullying. A passing teacher just grinned acceptingly and the boy walked off clutching his damaged orbs and looking embarrassed.
In the other incident the boy was seen consorting with a girl from the village, just walking and talking. He was given the option of having his parents informed or taking a beating. He chose the latter and leaned against his arms over the desk. The HM produced the longest, largest cane I’d ever seen and the damned scene faded out after two ranging taps on the seat of the pants (as movies did in those days).
