It always seemed the same 6 girls in my class that he picked on and to be fair the girls concerned seemed to accept his activities as a bit of a game as opposed to real punishment. These were also the same girls that he would borrow sometimes to mind the phone and take messages and help with envelope addressing; He had a very tiny office and no secretary. I suspect he had a new group of girls in each final year. I could say more about his activities but will press on.
