Subject: Principal who spanked

In the mid- to late-fifties, I lived in small town in Massachusetts, USA. The principal there, Mr. Stevens, gave boys, and occasionally girls, spankings on clothed bottoms with a yardstick. Several boys reported with pride that he'd broken yardsticks over their bums. I never got "The Stick" as we called it. One day, I was nearby when my friend did. We were both nine.
Kids who'd gotten into trouble spent recess (play time) standing on black linoleum squares in front of the principal's office. My friend, Ben, and I stood there one day after lunch. Ben, bored, talked to me and was jumping from black square to black square when Mr. Stevens rounded the corner. He took Ben with him into his office and to a room beyond. I expected to hear the stick hitting poor Ben's bum, or Ben hollering or crying, but I heard nothing. Soon, Ben came out, followed by Mr. Stevens. He looked rueful, but shed no tears. He stood back on his black square. Mr. Stevens lectured him a bit, then went back to his office.
I always said I'd refuse and fight him. He was universally despised by the students in a way no other principal was, in my experience. No one ever indicated they took even secret pleasure in The Stick. I never heard that anyone had underwear let alone buttocks exposed. He was genuinely cruel or at least overly concerned with discipline. Here's what happened to me one day as evidence.
Some boys had threatened me and cut my head with a stick. Slightly bleeding, I went to the school nurse. While she was working on my head, Mr. Stevens came in. He grabbed me, painfully jerking me away from the nurse, and began questioning me about who'd hurt me. No emergency, no serious injury, but he couldn't wait for medical attention, and his way to get information involved surprise, pain, and inducing fear.
During the last summer I lived in the town, someone burned down his boat and boathouse. No one was caught, but I was pretty sure some older kids who'd left the elementary school did it.
