Scope and content

This book gives details of punishments given to the boys for bad behaviour each term. Entries include the name of the boys receiving punishment, the date, the offence, the punishment they received and any other remarks. There is a list at the start of each term with the names of the Head of House and the monitors who administered the punishments. When strokes were given the initials of the monitor who carried out the punishment are noted. At the end of each term there are general notes on discipline within the House. \r\n\r\nIn Play Term 1941 Homeboarders House was amalgamated with Ashburnham House and so there are two sets of monitors until Play Term 1942 when complete amalgamation between the two Houses took place and they were known as Homeburnham. In Play Term 1943 Homeburnham partially amalgamated with Busby's House until Play Term 1945 and some entries include punishments in Busby's.\r\n
