it was because the class was noisy while waiting for a change of teacher between lessons.
” Mac” as he was called loved using his trusty worn smooth plimsol.
It would not surprise me if he had waited until the class got rowdy enough before appearing.
Rowdy in those days would have been quiet talking!
On the basis he whacked a whole mixed class of 14/15 year olds then it woould not be unreasonable to assume that he did similar in other classes.
It was also the practice of the sadistic PE teacher to whack the whole class ( boys only ) on most occassions. This was on any pretext and wait for it ( stand by for Lotta to moan) on some occasions bare!
