Played sports from the 9th grade to my senior year. All the athletics had to show their report cards each quarter or semester to the coaches. They had a paddle about half the size of a boat oar with holes drilled in the fat end.
You would bend over and grab your ankles and get one lick for a C, two licks for a D and three licks for an F.
In those days, we were graded on subjects as well as conduct. I made all A's and B's in the subjects but it took a few years to learn to keep my mouth shut.
Then when I got home, I had to face Mom on top of that.


As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
