I remember one girl, not her name, but the picture of her standing on the school’s stage, waiting for ‘the slipper’ has never left me….I don’t recall why she was receiving this awful punishment, but I do know it upset all of us girls. It was unnecessary and uncalled for too…I did, for a very short time, dislike Miss Shawcross very much for carrying out this ‘slipper’ routine, or whatever it was called then. I don’t even remember whether the girl had the slipper on her backside or her hand, but it did affect lots who witnessed it. It is one of only a couple of very unhappy memories of the time I spent at the school, and I’m not sure now whether Miss Shawcross carried out the ‘slipper’ punishment or another mistress did the deed……
