We had a whole class slippering over our shorts for taking a short cut on a cross country run.We had to line up and touch our toes and make our bottoms readily available to receive our punishment.The loud crack of the plimsoll echoed in the gymnasium and a total of 36 boys received a very hard slippering.We were not allowed to straighten up until the last boy received his punishment and then we were allowes to rub our bottoms.It was a very painful,but as our teacher explained a well deserved punishment.
