For my Sophomore and Junior years in HS, we had a principal that was a big, no-nonsense type of guy. He was also a PHD, rare in 1965, and a fair and honorable man. He was principal at our small town HS for only two years before moving on to big city schools.
Once, while I was in Geometry class, there was a commotion in the hall. I was seated in a spot where I could just barely see what was going on.
As in all schools, we had our share of "tough guy" kids. One was commonly called Peanut. He had slipped a couple of years and was probably about 18 at the time, though still a Sophomore. He drove a Studebaker to school when a freshman. He was one of the guys that you tried to befriend and stayed away from if you could not. He was a trouble maker in school
Leaning as far as I could to the left to see what was going on, I saw The Man holding Peanut up against the lockers with his left hand, his right fist held back ready to strike. Peanut's toes were just touching the floor.
I remember The Man saying something like: "It's your move, boy. What's it gonna be?
Peanut never caused any more trouble at school.
Today, of course, the principal would be fired and Peanut's parents would collect $$$ after the school board settled the law suit with taxpayer funds.
