'DRAWING WAS THE ONLY SUBJECT I WAS GOOD AT IN SCHOOL BUT . .' WHEN CUSHING WAS PRIME SUSPECT!

‘ONLY ONE incident about my early schooling  jogs my memory. No doubt because drawing was the only subject I was any good at, I became suspect number one for an example of graffiti discovered on a wall in the boys' WC. 

 

I WAS TAKEN by the Headmistress for a private view of this masterpiece, and in the confined space ot the pedestaled showroom, confronted with it, and wrongly accused as the perpetrator. I hotly denied the charge, not only was I innocent, but the anatomical member so graphically depicted by some budding Leonardo da Vinci meant nothing to me, nor did the descriptive text beneath it.

 

MY PLEA of not guilty was swept aside, and with an admonishing finger wagging under my nose, sentence passed upon me. Your pencil will be confiscated, and your parents informed of your disgraceful conduct.’
