The first entry in this Punishment Book is dated 3 November 1922. The punishment was delivered to a master Arthur Rapley for cheating and consisted of 4 strokes. By current standards, offences were often relatively mild including such crimes as 'running home', 'wilful disobedience', 'talking' and 'impertinence'. And, listen children, there is an instance of a punishment for BAD WORK and another for 'not attending to lesson'! Clearly, however, most of the offences were deserving of the punishment dished out. After all, we can't have children 'throwing wet snow' can we?
