Class of '83, a private all-boy Jesuit High School
Discipline? Well, yes and no. It was up to the teacher to enforce class discipline and some were good at it, others were not. For example, my freshman science teacher laid down the law right away. It was entirely possible for the whole class to spend an hour or more sitting after school with him. Our art teacher was a complete joke. Two students filled syringes with mustard and shot him in the back during class with no real punishment.
Detention was called a JUG for Justice Under God. More detentions could result in a weekend detention or possible suspension.
In four years, I only received one JUG, and that for being late to Spanish class (I had grabbed the wrong books from my locker, but too bad.) Of course, another famous incident (famous among my friends) in my senior year almost got me kicked out of school
