The one time that I was caned I was waiting to see the senior mistress for girls for truancy. I had to wait outside her office with my hands on my head, facing the wall. There were a few boys waiting to see the headmaster and they were giving me a few glances. I heard one boy getting the cane and the boy after him getting several strokes before I was summoned and caned. I had butterflies and my left knee was shaking. The wait was horrible as hearing the boys caned sent chills up my spine and having been slippered I suspected that I might be caned as well as a girl in my year had also been caned for truancy. I emerged with a very sore bottom and the boys who had yet to be caned were still in line for their punishment.
