General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

There was several types of whacking at 'Eddy Arrows' where I went, the most serious was the headmaster, Mr harding but, It was a tickle compared to Greeny's whacking, he used a short sawn off bamboo with razor blades at the end ( they were actually splits of the cane) but hurt like razors, Then there was Northy whacks, he was the PT instructor so he packed a fair whack and then there was Mr Cosstello, A new modern thinking teecher who used to place us near a window and say quietly " pretend this hurts" then bring the cane down hard but missed your hand, He was the new breed of teecher and he supported the upcoming ban on corporal punishment movement which came in later, Too late for my year to appreciate
