Got a nun's hand at mach2. Saw stars after I hit the floor. Damned near knocked me cold. Whatever it was, didn't do that crap again. Funny, the educational lessons we used to receive.
My high school is run by Brothers of the Sacred Heart, goes from 8 - 12. Brother Carl smacked me in the back of the head during 8th grade English class. That set me aright for the next 4 and a half years until I graduated.

Before that, it was Srs Doris, Sondra, and Pat keeping me on the straight and narrow.

St. James HS, Chester PA, Brothers of some sort, can't remember, one had a fish skinning board with the clamp removed. Would send you in to the next county. Grade school? God help you when the nuns were on the rag. Main problem when you got home, no sympathy.
 
That’s the bottom of a mouse for a computer. Before the optical mouse, they were a ball and rollers.
And got all gunched up with skin flakes and oil.

Ohh I remember those mouses (are they mice when they’re for computers).
That’s what the computer lab had at my school. Kids would steal the ball out of them. Sometimes if they couldn’t get them replaced in time you would have to stick you finger in the hole and figure out how to operate it:
 
Oh, so you went to parochial school, too.

Public school.
There were 3 types of teachers:
a. Those who used a yard stick;
b. Those that used an eraser;
c. And Mrs. Clark, age: unknown, height: 5' 3"(?) tall, weight: maybe 90 pounds. She taught at least 3 generations of students; and her infamous "Clark Claw" to squeeze the shoulder muscles along an "unattentive" student's shoulder bone. She used all three methods to get a students' attention back on the lesson.

I went to public school. My jr high teacher used to keep an 18 inch ruler on her desk and she did not hesitate to fully deploy it right up side of the head at the slightest infraction without any warning. If one found himself in the principal's office he was not so casually invited down to the furnace room. Boxing gloves were presented and the "fight " was very brief. He was a former semi pro. One application was sufficient. Luckily, I never participated.

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
