I wonder if Kathleen remembers Mrs McKay?(Science) I best remember her as the only lady teacher who did her own caning.Neither male nor female were

At my time in Kelvin, erring lassies were normally sent to Mrs. (Granny) Gallagher for caning Many’s a wee girl came back to class gurning after a run in with her.

You mentioned Mrs McKay. Was she originally Miss Pollock the dreaded science teacher from my year 1 (Sept. 1961). She also owned a cane covered with string and tape that always hung beside the blackboard as a warning.
