The First time I was sent was for talking in class and was warned any repeat could mean the dreaded cane!.. Stayed out of trouble for a couple of years after that but let my guard down one day when I cheeked our English tutor, Miss Shepherd. I was marched out of class and straight to the headmaster’s room. Was kept waiting outside for an endless amount of time before being ushered in by Miss S who then left me trembling before the imposing figure of Mr O’Riordan.There was no more delay and within a minute or two I was on my way back to class with a sore backside after 6 of the best…My word the cane hurt and Mr O certainly placed them with pinpoint accuracy…
