In the 1920s Edmunds taught writing to the Junior School with ‘a bunch of keys with which he chastized children’. In the 1930s Charles ‘Chassa’ Pawsey (1908, staff 1922-43) – fearsome in appearance and attitude, unsmiling and overbearing – used a ‘rubber hose to chastise for smallest infringement i.e. not knowing the answer to questions one did not understand’. In the 1960s ‘there was one master who would extract information from students by pinching tightly a small patch of their hair and slowly screwing it around until the correct answer was provided’. Another master is described by Old Boys decades apart as ‘sadistic’ and one who ‘enjoyed beating boys’ (1951, 1972).
