If any girl was caught in a classroom during the lunch break she was usually dealt with very quickly and severely. There were no warnings given and even senior girls or prefects were not exempt. I once went back to my class during the break to retrieve a book from my desk. However, the senior mistress caught me as I was leaving. She would not listen to any excuse and marched me straight back into the classroom and bent me over a desk for a very sound leg smacking. At least 6 of the best across each of my bare upper thighs. She said if she caught me again I would be caned. Needless to say, I was very careful after that.
