Trevor Howard’s biography, discussed in a previous post, also described life at his English public school between the wars:
“By the end of the first week he was left in no doubt at to the college’s no-nonsense discipline.
Slowness off the mark meant a clipped ear and for more serious misdemeanours – such as telling lies or being impertinent to a member of staff, or stealing, or leaving the college grounds without permission – corporal punishment might be prescribed.
On the other hand, house points were awarded for good behaviour, proven self-discipline, victories on the sports field and so on… it was expected that everyone would do their utmost to secure the highest possible score for their house.”
How *very* Lowewood!
Somehow, I don’t think his trips to Matron were so very Lowewood…
LMAO Indy! Did they have batteries in those days…? 😉
