He then got an ordinary school desk chair and ordered my friend to bend over the back of it reaching down the front legs as far as he could so he was tightly bent over, then he gave him four hard strokes. I could see the cane sinking into the tightly stretched shorts. After the fourth stroke, my friend was told to stand up and move over to where I was standing with his hands on his head.
Then I was told to come to the chair and bend over the same as my friend had done. I too got four hard strokes. After we were admonished to watch our language from then on, we were told that we could go back to class.
