My main memories are of a teacher called Mr Mathews, I was in his class for 2 years and he was the first teacher to cane me. I was caught out of my seat, along with a girl who’s name I have forgotten, taking paper from the cupboard whilst he had gone out the room. He went straight to the other cupboard where the cane was kept and took it out. The girl who I remember as being a bit of a delicate thing with what in these more enlighten times would be called learning difficulties, burst into tears at the sight of it. However, he turned to her and said, Luckily for you young lady I don’t cane girls. She was allowed to return to her seat, whilst I got 3 across my backside.
