I can't remember why our Form was passing time in the Ass. Hall but Albert Braithwaite walked through and someone commented: the culprit remained shtum, predictably.

So we were all immediately put in detention. It would be good if the culprit owned up as well as the kid would own up to cutting my satchel strap.

Also can't remember why I was put on Report once.

In having walked excessively, I find Carnation Corn caps useful.

Basher Braithwaite, the Morton Mauler. He was my form master.

I was warned of Basher before hand: some tale about him not having any nerves in one hand, at least.

He can't have lived up to his name; he played the hymns at Founders Day. Not knowing how many Founders, I omit the apostrophe.
