More memories of Cane Valley people at school Joe Hare writes of a bad day at Cane Valley school, despite which, he writes, 'None of the parents came to school the next day complaining that their "babies" got "whuppe" By Joe Hare Hello to Clara Smith Rogers and Phillip Burris, I remember both of these fine folk very well, and so good to see these comments from them. Clara was some grades ahead of me; if my memory serves me right her sister Alice was in the same class as I was. Phillip was 1 or 2 years ahead and his brother, Tony, was the same class as I was. Phillip, the basketball goal was on the old wooden store, building that has been gone for many years, and was right beside the old bank. There were some great games back there. Seeing these names reminds me of the day at school that all seven of the eighth grade boys, Tony and myself included, found out just how hard Mrs. Lois Smith could swing that hickory paddle that we had wondered/worried about for years. Without going into detail I will say that we all deserved what we got, which was 10, yes 10, toe tipping licks across the back side. Now, don't anyone worry; we had not tried to burn the building or anything like that - just some boyish doings that had pushed Mrs. Smith toooooo far. None of our parents came to school the next day complaining that their "babies" got "whupped" the day before. I suspect that they didn't find out for a while, I know mine didn't; I bribed my sister to not tell, because I really didn't want another "whupping" at that time, and that is what would have happened. Probably the worst part of this whole ordeal was being told what our punishment would be and that the sentence would be carried out at the end of class, just before lunch, in about 45 minutes. I don't think our minds were on the subject for that 45 minutes, we were more concerned about our backsides. Ain't memories grand. -Joe Hare Thanks for a great story. I really appreciate the side of this which conveys appreciation for parents taking responsibility for their children's behavior; my sibs and I feared being found out by our parents more than getting caught misbehaving by teachers or the law. Still, I'm personally so glad humanity has advanced beyond the classroom, hallway, coach, principal, and schoolyard bullying of the past. Just can't picture Jesus beating a kid with a broomstick or paddle, or even His bare hand. -EW This story was posted on 2010-02-26 04:53:22
