The hooks

There was a class rivalry which began, I believe, around 4th grade. We used to ambush one of the kids from another class who happened to be walking around by himself. We typically needed at last 3 kids to do this, but there was no limit. After scaring the poor kid we would lift him up and hang him by his collar from one of those metal hooks that were abundant in all the hallways. The hooks were high enough on the wall to keep the kid's legs off the ground. He would usually be quiet since being caught hung from a hook was not well received by other kids. His friends would help him down usually.after we were gone. Needless to say I had many uniforms with holes in their collars.
