V.F.O. Francis, Headmaster: “In second term, Mark Stump told Francis that the staff had lost confidence in him as Headmaster and were becoming concerned for their own reputations.

He said the spirit of the school was deteriorating and demanded that Francis call a staff meeting to hear these complaints and others bearing on the matter of discipline. Francis had given the staff power to cane at the beginning of the year, believing that a master must have the right to enforce discipline himself, but his own attitude to punishment puzzled them.
