It was the autumn of 1962, Strictmoor Academy prepared to open its doors for its fifth year of students. At the helm was the stern Principal, Mrs. Ganley, assisted by three formidable teaching staff who would guide the young women through an intense 10-day course. Among them was Mrs. Emily Madley, a seasoned educator from Europe, renowned for her academic prowess and unyielding disciplinary methods. Her belief in old-fashioned chastisement made her an ideal fit for Strictmoor's rigorous environment. Joining her were Miss Thorpe, an English Literature teacher from Great Britain, and Miss Chesterton, a former Strictmoor pupil with extensive teaching experience. Scene 1 unfolds with a series of flashbacks narrated by Mrs. Madley. The four ladies convene in the Academy’s opulent dining room on the eve of the students' arrival, discussing the impending course. Mrs. Ganley invites her colleagues to share their personal experiences with spanking, each recounting vivid memories of disciplinary actions. The flashbacks reveal scenes of corner time, bare bottom over-the-knee spankings, back-of-the-leg smacking, hairbrush spanking, and stern scoldings, offering a glimpse into the strict measures employed at Strictmoor. As they conclude their reminiscing, the conversation shifts to the incoming students. This course would welcome nine young women, four of whom were returning to the academy. Notably, among them was Mrs. Ganley's own step-daughter, Elizabeth, who had recently faced disciplinary actions due to her misbehavior at college. The remaining five students were new to Strictmoor, including a pair of step-sisters. Mrs. Ganley presented four letters from their stepmothers, detailing accounts of missed lectures, broken curfews, rudeness to personal tutors, and other transgressions. Each letter carried a plea for the academy to take these girls in hand and instill proper behavior. Mrs. Ganley firmly believed in the importance of disciplining certain students on the very first day. She saw it as setting a stern tone for the days ahead, ensuring at least a temporary period of good behavior. With this in mind, she delegated the initial corrections to her trusted colleagues, ensuring that the course would commence with a firm and unyielding hand.
