Some of my most memorable experiences as a teenager occurred at my high school.
The Lodge School 
located in the parish of St. John.
While attending The Lodge School I was a member of the Barbados Cadet Corps (No. 2 Company). Before leaving high school I reached the rank of Cadet Under Officer (CUO).
My high school was known for the traditional "Coffin Day" activities. Basically, all the first form students were hazed by being placed in a wooden box, taken for a short ride around the school, and then initiated with a good flogging!!! In my mind I can still hear the older boys saying "Get Clarke!!!" I tried to run, but it was futile!!!
After most of the younger students were hazed, the "coffin" entered the main courtyard of the school, where the teachers, most of them being past students, would read passages of Latin, Greek and Hebrew. This would always generate a thunderous applause from the entire school!!!
