You were lucky. Our Classics master was Mister "Hooker" Holmes.
His nickname was derived from the fact that he very evidently liked young boys, which he would demonstrate by regularly smacking our bottoms in the school swimming pool changing room, which he conveniently got to administer.
These days he would be locked up but back then it was just considered amusingly eccentric.
One of our masters was nicknamed "Fairy". Needn't continue.
