Lyle was not one of these but was one of nine to be caned by the school captain, Ken James (OM 1948), in the headmaster’s study. Eagle recalls: ‘Certain boys, and he reads their names, will go to his study directly after assembly to be caned. Others will leave the school immediately but will be allowed to return to sit their final exams. A third group will leave the assembly at once, never to return. He read their names. We watch them, shocked.’
