“Miss Fitzsimmons
Always wore that blue check suit with the velvet collar. Never ever remember seeing her in anythihg else. Very cold scarey lady. Myself and Lynn Stone got the cane from her once for bunking school. Only time she seemed to show any emotion. (pleasure)”
“Miss Fitzsimons
One pupil in my year was to be caned by Fitzie and when asked to put out each hand she had both arms in plaster, then asked to bend over she had a lot of undergarments on, Fitzie got madder & madder.”
“Mrs Lay
Taught English. I remember her being pregnant and the baby kicking her hymn book off her lap in assembly in the middle of one of Miss FizSimons’ caning sessions.”
“Miss Fitzsimmons
The old headmistress who used to measure your skirts with a ruler to see they weren’t too much above the knee as per the school regs, and used the cane when we were found smoking. If only she knew that we used to roll up our skirts by the waistbands till we had 30″ waists in order to look fashionable on the way home!”
