The idea was that everyone (those willing to misbehave which was a not short list) would bring a bag of marbles ( five cents if my memory serves me ) and let them loose at a designated time. I believe this was the last study hall of the day and cant remember who the Warden was.
At any rate I got it all organized and arranged for a Friday. I didn't go to school that day which was not an infrequent habit.
The plan went off as scheduled!
On Monday I arrived at school to be told that I had demerits or whatever they called the punishment. I went to the board in front of the office and sure enough I had ten.
I go into the office and ask Ms. Schwartz (not sure about her name) how I could have ten demerits since I was not at school. Her answer was, "well we know you weren't here and we know you had something to do with the ruckus in study hall."
She asked if I wanted to discuss it with Col. Bates. I declined and served the penalty.
