Yesterday at Alloa Sheriff Court, Quick, who retired from the school in 1985 and now lives in a nursing home, admitted the five charges against him.
He had originally faced eight charges in relation to pupils at the school.
But he pleaded guilty only to five and his not guilty pleas to the other three were accepted.
Quick, who was pushed into the courtroom in a wheelchair, shook visibly during the 45-minute hearing.
But the court heard that doctors could find no evidence of any ailment Quick was suffering from that should leave him physically disabled. As a result the sheriff, David Mackie, said he would not allow Quick’s appearance in a wheelchair to affect his sentence.
