Second taught Biology and was a stunner. She was also newly qualified and our small class of boys were kidding her on one day about whether she had a belt or not. She assured us she had, but alas didn’t have it with her that day. Next time in her class, surprise surprise, she produced her belt from her briefcase. I remember it as a black 2 tail, very pliant Lochgelly which she used to give us a demonstration of smashing a piece of chalk. She was obviously absolutely useless with it – but what a sight.
