However the I don’t cane girls bit wasn’t exactly true as I did later see him cane one girl. Her name was Rita (forgive me for not giving her surname). She was called to bring out her work for him to check and whatever she had done was not to his liking. The cane which had already been used that morning was still on display on his desk as a deterrent to others and to our and especially Rita’s surprise, he picked it up and gave her a quick stroke on each hand. He remained seated whilst he did it and the strokes were little more that Love taps but it reduced the poor girl to a flood of tears, probably more from shock than pain. I fondly remember this as being the only time in my school career that I actually saw a girl get the cane.
