military academe (reform school) and that would have cost 10 demerits.
You had to march off those demerits in the Bull Ring. If you exceeded a certain number, the school ask your parents for permission for corporal punishment. If not accepted you would be expelled with no return of prepaid tuition. The mean old Commandant gave one the choice of the whip or belt.
Being on the football, one almost never got demerits.
