Most certainly the cane that inspired the most dread in every English schoolboy was the senior cane. Especially designed for 16 and 17 year olds, it was half a times thicker than the junior school cane and could deliver a harsh thwack that would make its smaller relative seem quite flimsy and pathetic in comparison! The senior cane was generally kept in the headmaster’s study and only used in the most extreme of cases and, when used, even the toughest of boys had little chance of leaving his study with completely dry eyes.
