Saturday Detention Morning registration for 3b at St Edwards School being taken by Mrs Walsh. Miss Woods entered the room and the class stood up. Miss Woods whispered something in Mrs Walsh’s ear and then stood to one side. When registrationwas finished Mrs Walsh dismisses the boys. ‘Sebastian Strenger, you will report to Miss Woods during morning break.’ And leaves Miss Woods with the girls. ‘The head has asked me to tell you that from today any infringement of uniform rules will be punishable by a Saturday detention.’ There was a murmur of disapproval from those present. ‘Silence.’ Shouted Miss Woods. ‘You know the rules, so I shall have no sympathy for anyone found guilty of disobeying them. I now intend to see that none of my class are in breach of those rules. All of you lift up your skirts so that I can see what you are wearing.’ She started to walk round the room and stopped at Karen. ‘Karen Edwards. You know the rules about wearing plain slips, those lace additions to yours are in breach of the rules. Detention!’ ‘But Miss.They’re only very small.’ Protested Karen. ‘I don’t care. Detention!’ snapped Miss Woods. Karen said nothing. Here we go again she thought. Miss Woods then moved on and stopped at Margaret Jenkins. ‘I might have known it. Black knickers, disgusting. Obviously you’re trip to the head recently has had no effect. Detention! When she had finished Miss Woods dismissed the girls and watched as they filed out. Morning break arrived and Sebastian made his way to Miss Woods’s room and knocked on the door. ‘Come in’ Sebastian entered full of curiosity as to why he had been summoned. ‘Ah, Sebastian.’ Said Miss Woods ‘You wanted to see me Miss?’ replied Sebastian. ‘Yes I did. I see that you have been late for school twice this week. What have you to say for yourself?’ ‘I don’t know Miss. I suppose I just didn’t check the time properly. But don’t I have to see Mr Jones for being late?’ ‘Not any more.’ Said Miss Woods with a wry smile. ‘The new headmistress has arranged that all class tutors will deal with matters of indiscipline, boys or girls. So, I have no alternative but to slipper you.’ This was something he hadn’t bargained for. The first boy in the class to get the slipper from Miss Woods. How embarrassing. Miss Woods took a plimsoll out of her draw and stood up and then walked round the desk. ‘Stand here and bend over.’ Sebastian stood in front of Miss Woods and bent over. She stepped to one side and Whaapp! Whaapp! Whaapp! ‘You can get up now.’ Said Miss Woods. Sebastian got up and stood still while Miss Woods replaced the slipper. ‘Don’t be late again young man or it’ll be worse next time. Off you go,’ Sebastian went out smiling inwardly to himself. Does she call that a slippering he thought to himself. Saturday arrived and nine girls from different classes reported to Mrs McKay in full uniform at nine o’clock. They went into her classroom and sat down. ‘Detention will be until eleven o’clock.’ She announced. ‘For the next hour you will copy pages from the text book I’m going to give you. Then there will be an hours rigorous PE.’ There was a groan from some of those present. ‘That will do.’ said Mrs McKay. ‘You. Give out the books and paper,’ she said to one girl at the front. The next hour seemed seemed to drag on for ever, after all who wanted to spend Saturday morning in school when your friends were out enjoying themselves? Finally. ‘Stop writing.’ Announced Mrs McKay. She then went round and collected up all the papers. ‘You will all go and change for PE and be in the gym in ten minutes.’ The girls slowly made their way to the changing rooms. Inside there was much moaning and groaning and reluctance to get changed. ‘Hurry up Margaret.’ Said Karen who was already changed. ‘This is such a drag, who wants this on a Saturday morning. I should still be in bed.’ Moaned Margaret. ‘This is all Lisa’s mum’s fault.’ ‘Lisa’s not too happy about it either, she get’s all the flack for it.’ Said Karen. ‘Yeah, suppose it can’t be much fun having your mum as headmistress.’ Replied Margaret. Finally Margaret was ready and made her way to the gym. Mrs McKay started to put the girls through some vigorous exercises. Margaret was getting more and more fed up and bad tempered. Suddenly the girl next to her accidentally lost her balance and bumped into Margaret. ‘Don’t you push me.’ Shouted Margaret and lashed out at the other girl giving her a good kick. ‘You girl’ shouted Mrs McKay. ‘Come here.’ Margaret made her way over to where Mrs McKay was standing. ‘What on earth do you thing you were doing?’ ‘She pushed me first.’ Replied Margaret. ‘I don’t care what she did; you don’t go around kicking people. Stay behind at the end.’ Snapped Mrs McKay. The lesson proceeded and all the girls were dismissed except Margaret.. ‘Now girl, it’s time you learnt to stop being violent. Do you have anything to say?’ asked Mrs Mckay. Margaret shook her head. ‘In that case I’m going to give you the strap. Bend over the horse.’ Margaret’s face suddenly lost all it’s colour as she walked over and bent over the vaulting horse. Mrs McKay went to her bag and took out her strap and unwound it as she walked over to Margaret. She pulled up her short PE skirt and raised the strap. THWACK! ‘Ooooowwww’ screamed Margaret as the strap connected. THWACK! ‘Ooooowwwch’ THWACK! ‘Yeeooowww’ ‘Now get out.’ snapped Mrs McKay. Margaret eased herself up slowly and walked stiffly to the door rubbing her throbbing backside. Outside Karen and several others were listening intently. ‘You alright?’ asked a concerned Karen. ‘That b------ thing hurts like hell.’ Gasped a watery eyed Margaret. ‘You’ve only got yourself to blame.’ Said one of the others. ‘Get lost; I don’t need you to tell me.’ Retorted an angry Margaret as they all walked back to the changing room.
