From Kilmorie School, Forest Hill, pages on Friends Reunited:
remember Mr Franklin, he caught me smoking in the toilets,I had to go up to his classroom, it was down trousers shirt tail across the bum and his skill was to put six strokes of the cane with half an inch between each one, very painful.Mr Rogers was the P.E. teacher who carried a size eleven slipper around with him and made sure you didn’t have your pants on. Mr Hills was the headmaster you had to stand outside his room and then get the cane on the left hand. (Michael Anderson)
Does anybody remember the episode of the mass caning in the main gym when the whole school was made to attend? (Dave ODonoghue)
Does anyone remember Miss Johns? She was a formidable Teacher, and gave me the cane for not wearing my hated beret outside the school gates. (Patricia Adams)
Mr Franklin’s hair brush wow that hurt. (Christine Corby)
