Volume 15 – The Woodettes - The Woody Back to School Unit

The sound ofClaire rebounding the leather-soled slipper off Katie’snaked rear end was music to their ears.By the time she was allowed to return to thevertical Katie was looking visibly cowed. She rubbedher eyes with the cuff of her blouse and flounced offthe stage with her head hung low and her handslooking suspiciously like they were prepared forrubbing.Cathryn Cassidy smiled at Katie. Cat had takenparticular care over her appearance. She had dressedin a micro-mini gymslip that barely covered herbumbags, black hose with a matching suspender beltand three-inch stiletto heels. She wore her collarunfastened and her tie hung out over the bib of hergymslip. She had donned her trademark boater andwore it at a jaunty angle.Katie Beck stood with her hands on her head,the bib of her gymslip lowered and her tie slung backover her shoulder. Cathryn whistled cheerfully as sheinspected the unit matron’s clobber and occasionallyblew cigarette smoke in her face.The news that she was being put on fullclobber probation was devastating enough for Katie.The news that her bête noire, Cathryn Cassidy, wasbeing appointed as her probation officer made herfeel quite bilious.
