Sir Brian Hone, Headmaster: “As was his way, Hone provided an organisational amber light. If a master wished to punish with a Saturday detention, the ultimate sanction available to him, because Hone abolished most caning, the ‘Saturday card’, defining the offence, had to be signed by a parent and the boy’s housemaster. Because this made vindictive or frivolous punishments questionable, staff became more careful.”
