i remember that, because i borrowed a tennis racket too!!!! if i remember right, we had the cane together
i rememner getting the cane and slipper on several occasions. on one occasion, mr o told me to take my tights off…..
Rachel I remember getting the cane twice in ’86. The second time a few of us got it, and as we were prefects, Mr O said he’d give us the cane rather than taking our prefects badges off us! Andrew Bovell (now a copper I believe) started to take his badge off – But Mr O wouldn’t let him and he gave us all the cane!! Memories!!!
