This is a beautifully written fictional account of Mary McFarlane's experiences at Somerville Prep School. Set in Massachusetts during the 1950's, Mary's parents enroll her in Somerville where she learns that parents aren't the only ones to use corporal punishment. On several occasions she finds herself bending over for a caning or tawsing from the Headmaster. As a senior, she is promoted to Head Girl and finds herself in the position of administering the cane to a fellow student.
