1.
Read the following extract carefully and answer ALL the questions that follow.
Act 1, Scene 2
[The lights come up on JOE in his space and ROSCO half asleep on the couch. PAT and RUSS
enter the staff-room from Down Left.]
PAT:
The place is as you see it, the staff as you saw them, a bunch of bloody clowns,
with one or two exceptions. The students, semi-literate mostly. The smell, it
grows on you, conversation piece. Things are bad but we get by. Expect nothing,
avoid disappointment. Things won＊t change, not with jokers around like ＃ Let＊s
not call names, but take a fellow like Callender. He should be banned from the
classroom. Does more harm than good. He and the one they call the Chaplain,
tongue like a female, mind like a gutter. Money-grubbing capitalistic sex-fiend,
bound to go to Heaven.
CHAPLAIN:
[Entering] Ah, Mr. Campbell, I see you are taking good care of our latest
addition. You are in good hands. So how is it going, Mr. Dacres?
RUSS:
Okay.
CHAPLAIN:
No trouble with the students?
RUSS:
None.
CHAPLAIN:
You should have no problems if, like me, you don＊t spend fifteen minutes to
settle your class, like some of the others. You just go in 每 bang, bang 每 get some
order. If they fool, you run them out. Thirty, if need be. Teach the other five.
Many are called, etc. etc. Gospel.

[The bell goes. DACRES collects his things quickly and is on his way out as
MICA enters. They smile at each other. PAT notices, so does ROSCO.]

ROSCO:
25
Boy, the new man anxious, eh? What a man can move fast! Him will learn all
the same.
[He looks directly at PAT, smiles mischievously, then picks up a table-tennis bat.
HENDRY enters as ROSCO begins to play with an imaginary ping-pong ball,
each shot giving him a great deal of pleasure. Synchronise his smash with the
first stroke of the cane offstage.]

Ah, the Head. [As he goes over toward the Headmaster＊s door.] Whoever is
getting it obviously deserves it. A good licking is like a good tonic [Whacking
continues.] Tones up the skin, repels the devils. Never spare the rod. Gospel.
Rules are to be obeyed [whack]. Each student, boys and girls, should get at least
six a week [whack]. They thrive on it. Break the law, you＊ll be punished. Break
God＊s law, you know the consequences [whack]. Yes [whack]. Yes [whack].
Yes. Ahhh! [Overcome with pleasure.]
