I attended a small school in downstate Illinois that used corporal punishment in the form of the paddle. Both boys and girls were paddled. Most of the paddlings were administered by the teachers in the hall outside of class. Every teacher had a wooden paddle that was kept in their desk drawer. For more serious offenses, you were taken to the office, and the swats were administered by the principal.
It was a Thursday and it was a basketball game day. On game day, all of the guys on the team wore their warm-up tops to school and the cheerleaders wore their uniforms. Gold sweater with a navy blue and white strip at the top, navy blue and gold pleated skirt, navy blue knee socks with 3 gold stripes around the top, and black and white saddle shoes.
