Rowena Drysdale 5 - Rod of Authority An Archbishops College Series Story
St Dunstan's College for Girls founded on the 20th of June 1838 held the preeminent position as the leading female educational institution, in the whole of the Unified Kingdom. Unlike Archbishops College it had no boarders, all were day students and if a girl lived too far away to travel to the college, boarding was sourced with local households approved and monitored by the college.
The Headmistress of St Dunstan's College, was Dr Elizabeth Gamble and she had a close working relationship with Archbishops College. The students at St Dustan's had quickly know all about `Traditional Values' soon after the concept was reintroduced at Archbishops College,
Dr Gamble had been present to hear the speech of the Headmaster of Archbishop College at the wrestling gala and she had immediately set about implementing the concept at St Dunstan's. Dr Gamble had strong support for the reintroduction of `Traditional Values' from the College Council as four of the seven St Dunstan's Council Members were also Governors of Archbishops College!
Having no boarding houses, appropriate occasions for naked time' could not be as prevalent as at Archbishops College. When initially reintroduced at St Dunstan's, Traditional Values' was only applied to the Junior School which comprised girls ages eight to thirteen years of age. Like what was planned at Archbishops College, the next academic year would see `Traditional Values' extended to all the girls in the three lower years of the five years of girls that composed the Senior School.
However the Headmistresses Dr Gamble had found the Head Prefect of the Junior School, often referred to as Head Girl, Eugenie Beatrice Tichcombe was very opposed to anything related to the Return to Traditional Values' and Eugenie had ensured that the already very limited appropriate time' opportunities' at St Dunstan's Junior School never eventuated,
Eugenie Tichcombe had been extremely shocked when she first heard about `Traditional Values' and it's public nakedness and humiliation. She did not consider public nudity under any circumstance acceptable for any female and certainly not for females of the nobility of the Unified Kingdom. Her father was Earl of Arunfell, however just like at Archbishops College, titled students by long standing tradition were referred to by their surname and not by their title, to discourage elitism. Tichcombe was in fact Lady Eugenie Tichcombe and although she was not permitted to use the title whilst at St Dunstan's, it was universally known that she was of the nobility and that her father was an Earl.
Her parents, particularly her mother, had always insisted that girls needed to be very modest but that boys did not and so girls should never let boys see them naked, whereas for boys it was sometimes appropriate to be seen naked, like occurred at swimming at Archbishops College.
St Dunstan's had always supported a similar moral stance and when this changed rapidly with the emergence of `Traditional Values', Tichcombe had strongly resisted creating any opportunities for naked time, despite her Headmistresses urging and the direct encouragement of the Rev Dr Susan Williams, the Mistress of the Junior School who was responsible for the day-to-day management of the Junior School.
Unlike at Archbishops College, Prefectorial rank at St Dunstan's College was not indicated by uniform but by the possession of a Rod of Authority. The Prefects Rod was a straight rod of three foot length and a one and a half inch girth, made of dark, almost black ebony wood and it was adorned for Senior School Prefects with a polished silver orb grip at the top and a polished silver metal ferrule at the bottom tip and for Junior School Prefects the rod was adorned with polished brass instead of silver. The Rod of the Head Prefects of the Senior and Junior school were the same as the Prefects Rod with the addition of two, one inch wide bands of silver or brass around the Rod shaft, one band an inch below the orb and the other band an inch above the ferrule.
The Mistress's of the Senior and Junior Schools, the Headmistress and the Chairperson of the College Council used Rods of Authority on ceremonial occasions. These Rods were identical in design to the other Rods of Authority except they were adorned with polished gold. The two Mistresses Rods were the same design with gold as that of a Prefect. The Headmistress's Rod was the same design with gold as that of a Head Prefect and the Chairperson of the College Board used a Rod with gold, that had four, one inch wide bands of gold around the Rod shaft, two bands an inch and three inches below the orb and the other two bands finishing three inches above and one inch above the ferrule.
Rowena Drysdale was by nature a dominatrix and if she got the opportunity she enjoyed administering physical pain toward whoever was submissive to her, like she had done occasionally with Matthew Parker when she caned him! Her normal domination was more often verbal domination and physical activity that involved humiliating tasks, or servitude. Despite these traits, Rowena was kind, fair and supportive to friends and acquaintances, yet totally submissive to her parents and teachers, what they said, she did, as she knew first hand the painful consequences of disrespecting their wishes.
When the daughter of Viscount Dubois (The Honourable) Adelaide Helena Dubois's name had been communicated as the next Head Prefect of St Dunstan's Senior School, it had really been of little surprise when Miss Rowena Drysdale's name had also been communicated as the new Head Prefect of the Junior School. Rowena was a natural leader, had a strong forceful personality and despite not being of the nobility, had very good connections, her father, the Reverend Doctor Shore Drysdale PhD, MA, BA, BTh, Grad.Dip. Ed being the Deputy Headmaster, Preparatory School at Archbishops College.
Dr Gamble and the Rev Dr Williams knew Rowena well and also knew her parents well. They knew Rowena was fully exposed to `Traditional Values' at home and would be far more supportive of implementing its delayed introduction at St Dunstan's Junior School when she became Head Girl.
In the formal meeting where Dr Gamble and the Rev Dr Williams informed the Reverend Doctor Drysdale and Mrs Sylvia Drysdale of Rowena's appointment, discussion had focused around the lack of action by the current Head Girl, Eugenie Tichcombe towards `Traditional Values' and how that would be rectified by Rowena, who was fully supportive of all aspects of a return to traditional values.
By the end of the discussion, Dr Gamble and the Rev Dr Williams had agreed to a suggestion from the Reverend Doctor Drysdale that the current Head Prefect should be disciplined for her resistance and lack of support for `Traditional Values' soon after she formally relinquished her Prefectorial Rod and her authority passed on to Rowena.
The Reverend Doctor Drysdale's argument was, that because Prefectorial power at St Dunstan's was manifested in the Rod of Authority, the moment the Rod was formally passed on to the new Prefect, all Prefectorial power ceased for the retiring Prefect, whereas at Archbishops College Prefectorial Power resided in a grant of power by the Headmaster and remained in force until the last second of the academic year or until the Prefect was formally demoted by the Headmaster.
The Reverend Doctor Drysdale stated that as far as he was concerned, because the formal ceremony of Prefectorial handover always occurred by tradition a few days prior to the end of the academic year, the new holders of the Prefectorial Rods technically had the active authority and it had just been convention to honour the retiring Prefects by not asserting that authority over those girls who had just released their authority. This was further supported, the Reverend Doctor Drysdale asserted, by the fact that the newly appointed Prefects immediately began supervision duties and carried the Prefectorial Rods of authority around the campus, accompanied by the old Prefects who trained them `on the job' in how to exercise that authority!
The formal transfer of power from the current academic year Prefects lead by the current Head Girl, Eugenie Tichcombe to next years Prefects had taken place as was tradition, mid morning on the last Tuesday of the academic year. This gave the new Prefects from lunch time Tuesday until the end of the school year on Friday, to learn the `ropes' from the retiring Prefects. At the Prefectorial Assembly the whole college had been in attendance along with dignitaries and most of the parents of the outgoing and incoming Prefects.
Guests, parents and Senior School Prefects had been treated to a luncheon afterwards, but by tradition in the Junior School, the retiring Prefects and the newly installed Prefects partook of a private afternoon tea, after school had concluded on the Tuesday, hosted by the Headmistress and the Mistress of the Junior school.
Rowena Drysdale had already made a mental note to ensure that at the end of her term as Head Prefect, the Prefectorial transfer of authority would take place on the Friday immediately before the end of the last day of the academic year. Rowena would then immediately finish at the Junior School and head home. She was already planning in her head to organise for the incoming Prefects to accompany her cohort of Prefects for the last week of the next academic year, ensuring that the Rods of Authority would not be handed over till just before the end of the last day!
Rowena Drysdale had been extensively briefed by Dr Gamble, the Rev Dr Williams and her father as to what was expected of her at that afternoon tea. It had taken Rowena all of her willpower not to show her delight in being asked to publicly punish and humiliate the pompous and manipulative Ex-Head Prefect, Eugenie Tichcombe!
It was no surprise at the afternoon tea when Rowena began to speak, the incoming Head Girl often spoke and thanked the outgoing Prefects, however that expectation soon changed once Rowena began to detail what she had planned for that afternoon.
"With your permission Headmistress, may I speak"
"Of course Miss Drysdale!" Dr Gamble replied, giving no indication that she already knew what was coming!
"As my first act as the new Head Prefect of the Junior School, I'd like to thank all the recently retired Prefects for their efforts during the last academic year" stated Rowena Drysdale, who then turned and looked directly at Eugenie Tichcombe.
"Earlier today at the Prefects Assembly" Rowena continued, "The retiring Head Prefect of the Junior School, handed over to me the Head Prefects Rod of Authority. My second act as Head Prefect is to state publicly that as Head Prefect, I fully support all aspects of the return to `Traditional Values' and therefore I must also deal immediately with the reluctance by the the previous Head Prefect to support the Return to Traditional Values initiative in the Junior School!"
Rowena then boldly stated, "As the new Head Prefect, I want all the new Prefects and those who have just retired, to remove all your clothes, as now in the privacy of this Prefects afternoon tea is an appropriate time to show conformity with St Dunstan's policy of fully adopting the Return to `Traditional Values' and enjoy some naked time!"
The Headmistress of St Dunstan's College watched impassively, as did the Mistress of the Junior School, but the other girls present, particularly the recently retired cohort of Prefects gasped out load and looked very uncomfortable with Rowena's order.
"No, you can't do that!" said a shocked Eugenie Tichcombe, "I'm still the Head Prefect, you can't order me or my Prefects around!".
"Yes I can Tichcombe, I now formally hold the Head Prefects Rod of the Junior School and all the authority that comes with possession of that Rod!" said Rowena as she stepped up to the retiring Head Girl brandishing the Rod in her right hand and tapping it into the palm of her left!
"Excuse me!" said Tichcombe, "In this school the ceremony of handover has always occurred by tradition prior to the end of the academic year, but it is just a traditional ceremony. I am still technically Head Girl. I don't agree with the return of Traditional Values and under my watch I have not supported the idea. In the next academic year when your authority is active, you of course have the authority to implement it with the Headmistresses approval in the Junior School but on the few days remaining on my watch, that's not happening!"
"Your watch ended this morning Tichcombe, you and the other Prefects have formally handed over your authority to me and all the new Prefects. We began our duties from today's lunch break, so it is now my watch and any junior girls who misbehave under my watch will be punished, especially girls who disobey their Head Girl." Rowena said, her voice ringing with conviction and authority.
Eugenie Tichcombe glanced at the Headmistress but Dr Gamble continued to watch impassively, looking very interested in how this was turning out.
"I am still the Head Prefect and I will not be lectured to by you!" shouted Tichcombe, angrily brandishing her right hand as if she still had the Head Prefects Rod in her possession.
Rowena without a pause brought her newly acquired Head Prefects Rod down and across Tichcombe's thigh.
Tichcombe screamed, jumped back and started blubbering "Headmistress!" she wailed, "She hit me!"
The other prefects, old and new all gasped in unison and their mouths dropped open. They were in shock, they had never seen a Prefect, let alone the Head Prefect attacked like this before. They all looked over at the Headmistress to see how she was going to react, and they were stunned when they saw her standing motionless, a slight smile on her lips, showing no other reaction as was the Rev Dr Williams.
"If you want a battle of wills Ex-Head Prefect Tichcombe, you've picked on the wrong person" said Rowena Drysdale, drawing herself up to her full height "I am now the Head Prefect and you will do as I say. Is that clear girl?"
Tichcombe backed off, suddenly feeling afraid of this younger girl who the Headmistress had selected to replace her. She looked over at the Headmistress again and wondered if her lack of reaction might be a sign that Dr Gamble must be waiting for her to assert herself as Head Prefect. She tried to draw strength from her noble status and having performed the role for the last year. "I am Head Prefect and until I leave for the Senior School, I run the Prefects of this Junior School!" she shouted "If you can't accept that, then it is you and not I, that is heading for a severe punishment!"
"If that's the way you want to play it, that's ok with me, but you've seriously overstepped your authority, because you have passed on your Rod of Authority to me, you are now just an ordinary girl Tichcombe. For that disobedience, I am going to have to beat you, when you are naked!"
Rowena Drysdale was openly defying Eugenie Tichcombe and the other retiring prefects looked appalled, but as the Headmistress was not reacting, they didn't move to support their recently retired Head Girl.
"I want you to set the example to every other girl in this room Tichcombe by starting to undress! You may start by lowering your panties down and taking them off right now" ordered Rowena, "For your defiance of the Head Prefect, when you are naked, in accordance with Traditional Values, you are going to be beaten by me and if you don't want an even more severe beating, you had better start undressing this second, as I am not willing to wait!"
Eugenie Tichcombe was unable to believe her ears. This girl was power crazy! As far as Eugenie was concerned, she was still the Head Girl, not Rowena Drysdale! So she made no effort to do as instructed!
Rowena brought the Head Prefects Rod across Tichcombe's thigh again, causing her to shriek and jump backwards. Rowena advanced saying, "Very well girl! If that's the way you want to play it."
Tichcombe tried to back away further, but she hit the wall behind her. Rowena reached out and grabbed at Eugenie Tichcombe's wrap around college skirt as she again struck the side of her hip.
"Ow! Stop it! Stop it!" shouted Tichcombe, trying to slap at Rowena feebly as Rowena wrenched the skirt from her body, causing the buttons securing it around her waist to fly off! With her spare hand, Rowena tossed the skirt aside.
"You might have been able to handle the role of Head Girl, Eugenie Tichcombe and I know for sure that we were all cautious of you with this Rod in your hand, but you are no longer the Head Girl and you have relinquished your Prefectural powers to me and I know you can't handle me, now that I have the authority of the Head Prefect!" Rowena said as she grabbed at Tichcombe's college white cotton uniform panties.
Tichcombe shrieked "No, don't! I'm Head Girl! No! No! ...... Headmistress ! Help me! Help me!"
"You were the Head Girl" said the Headmistress calmly "But technically you handed over the authority of the Head Prefect this morning and now Miss Drysdale has formally accepted the Head Prefects Rod of Authority and as such she is empowered to deal with all Prefectorial matters of disobedience."
The other retiring prefects looked stunned at the unfolding events and again made no attempt to interfere.
Having received the Headmistresses blessing, Rowena wasted no time and quickly ripped Eugenie Tichcombe's panties down and the girl screamed out as her hands flew down to cover her newly exposed groin.
The Headmistress had been curious to see which of these two girls would win out; which of them was the natural dominant leader. She was now in no doubt about what the result was going to be.
Rowena stepped up very close to Eugenie Tichcombe and she looked her right in the eye "Girl, you will do as you are told, here and now, or I am going to personally strip you totally naked and give you the beating of your life in front of everyone assembled here!"
Eugenie Tichcombe burst into tears. She was terrified. No-one had ever talked to her like this before. She had survived her entire time so far at St Dustan's school without ever once being beaten. She was of noble birth and had always been good, always obeyed all the rules, and always behaved herself impeccably. She had also shown a great talent for punishing girls once she had been made a prefect and Head Girl at the beginning of this academic year. She had never flinched from baring and beating a girl and she had taken great pleasure from it.
When Eugenie Tichcombe had been made Head Prefect she could immediately sense the fear she had inspired walking the halls of the junior school during this past year in possession of the Head Prefects Rod. No one had ever dared question her authority like this! Now she was terrified, and without the backing of the Headmistress, she did not know what to do.
Rowena pulled open Eugenie's white cotton school blouse, bursting off the white buttons just like had happened with the discarded skirt and exposing her plain white college uniform bra. It was not impressive, being nothing more than a training bra!
"Strip and no covering up!" ordered Rowena, "I want you to take off all your remaining clothes, right now, or do you want me to do it? I am sure everyone here will enjoy that show if I have to do it."
Eugenie Tichcombe was mortified at the thought of everyone there seeing her totally naked! Rowena Drysdale couldn't be serious! She couldn't could she? But Eugenie suspected she could! Rowena's tone, the look in her eye. She knew Rowena would do it, she was now the Head Girl and Eugenie knew she had lost her authority and that the new Head Girl really would do it!
She on the verge of a total panic attack and had been wracking her brain for any option other than getting naked, but could come up with nothing, so she mentally blocked out what was happening to her and retreated into the depths of her mind. She continued however to remove the last of her clothing, such was her fear of Rowena Drysdale, much to Rowena's delight as she relished getting revenge on the pompous and manipulative Ex-Head Girl.
Eugenie Tichcombe wailed in humiliation, embarrassment and terror as she started to get totally undressed, her shaky hands went slowly and reluctantly around to her back and began to unhooked her training bra. It was obvious, even with the training bra still in place, that Eugenie, despite having recently turned thirteen years of age, didn't have anything to show up top. Doubly so once she had taken her training bra off, revealing her flat girlish chest to everyone present; she had only barely begun puberty, the only sign being the slight swell of her puffy nipples.
Her lack of development became even more obvious once she removed her white panties. Eugenie had absolutely no pubic hair growing between her legs, she was not shaved, she was still naturally bald! Her complete baldness totally revealing the slit of her vulva, the lips of which had only just started to plump out, giving it a slightly parted look, allowing her clitoris to peek out at the top!
"Hands on your head little girl!" said Rowena, once Eugenie Tichcombe was totally naked.
Tichcombe reluctantly put her hands on her head and wept. The other recently retired and newly appointed prefects gasped as they saw Ex-Head Prefect Eugenie Tichcombe totally naked and exposed for the first time and instinctively they backed away slightly from Rowena Drysdale who's authority was now complete, having just performed the total and absolute humbling of the Ex-Head Prefect.
"There you go now Tichcombe, you're all naked as required by Traditional Values" Rowena stated as she grinned at the naked and humiliated girl standing before her. "I'm sure you are already getting used to enjoying naked time and the feeling of not having to wear your school uniform!"
As Rowena patted Eugenie's head condescendingly, she commented loud enough for everyone present to hear, "But ... my ... my ... don't you look so much younger without your clothes on, why Tichcombe, you're still really just a little girl! There will be no need to shave you of your pubic hair, as you don't have any! However you are not to wear that useless training bra any more, even when you finally grow some breasts, that's if you ever do, until you turn sixteen! You and the other Ex-Prefects may be moving up to the Senior School next academic year and out of my jurisdiction but I am confident that all the Traditional Values rules will also be fully implemented in the Senior School!"
Eugenie blushed an even deeper shade of crimson at this dig about her still being a little girl due to a lack of teenage development! It was hard however for Eugenie to argue about the facts as stated by Rowena. Even though she was thirteen years old, now that she was totally naked and all her body secrets were totally exposed, her body appeared to be much younger than her true age. Many of the girls present were grinning from ear to ear, thinking that the Ex-Head Prefect had gotten exactly what she deserved.
"Now Tichcombe, you will move to the centre of the room like a good little girl" said Rowena, tapping Eugenie's non existent breasts with the Rod. "You will bend forward and take a hold of your thighs with your hands. You will remain in that position until I give you permission to stand again. Is that understood?"
"Yes, yes, but please, don't beat me ... no!" wailed Eugenie.
"That's yes Head Prefect, now move into position now!" ordered Rowena.
Eugenie sobbed in shame and fear, but hurried into position and bent over in utter humiliation. Most of the other girls present were absolutely shocked to see their former Head Prefect totally naked and being treated in this way by a girl a year younger. Rowena however did not feel the least bit guilty about humiliating and punishing Tichcombe as she began to steadily beat her with the Rod.
"I think" said the Headmistress Dr Gamble to the Rev Dr Williams at that moment, "That Drysdale will make an excellent Head Girl!"
Rowena was not cruel. She did not beat Eugenie for long. She had won her victory and just needed to impress upon Eugenie and all the other girls present that she would not be argued with or defied. Eugenie struggled to stay down, despite the lightness of the beating. She wasn't used to this and it was an agony for her. When Rowena finished, Eugenie Tichcombe was bawling her eyes out in shame and agony.
When she had finished with Eugenie, Rowena looked around and found the cowering figures of all the other Prefects and Ex-Prefects who were all still in total shock at what had just happened.
"Naked time girls, everyone under sixteen needs to undress unless you want to join this naked little girl in being punished in the middle of the room!"
Rowena set the example by quickly stripping naked herself. Her mother had stipulated when Traditional Values had been introduced that Rowena was not to wear a bra until she turned sixteen so she only had to remove shoes, socks, dress, blouse and panties. Puberty had quickened notably for Rowena since the beginning of the year. Rowena now had a thin waist, flaring hips and firm, tight breasts which were now about the size of large half oranges, jutting out from her chest, topped by dark pink nipples and darker areoles.
Between her legs she would now have had a substantial pubic bush but as her mother had instructed, she regularly shaved her pubes, never allowing even a hint of stubble to grow. The exposed shaved lips of her labia were now plump and prominent as was her clitoris which made an equally prominent little lump that stuck out past her lips at the top of the slit of her vulva.
With no boarding houses and only day students, St Dunstan's did not require anywhere near the number of Prefects that Archbishops College required. There were ten Prefects plus the Head Prefect appointed each year in each school, so in the room with Rowena Drysdale and Eugenie Tichcombe, there were the ten new Prefects and the ten recently retired Prefects.
When all the girls were naked, Rowena instructed all of them to stand with their legs apart and hands on their heads as she did a body inspection of all twenty of the girls , checking out which girls needed to shave off their pubic and pit hair in accordance with the requirements of `Traditional Values'.
Three of the new Prefects were still naturally bald like Ex-Head Prefect Tichcombe, three were shaved and four had varying amounts of pubic and pit hair that would need to shaved off! Rowena also informed eight of the girls that they were no longer allowed to wear a bra anymore. These ranged from five who were still in training bras to the remainder who had worn more substantial bras, the largest being a `B' cup size.
Of the older recently retired Prefects one was still naturally bald like Eugenie Tichcombe, four were shaved and five had varying amounts of pubic and pit hair that would need to shaved off! Rowena also informed all ten of these girls that like Eugenie Tichcombe, they were no longer allowed to wear a bra. These girls ranged from three who were still in training bras to the remainder who had worn more substantial bras, ranging from A' cups through to one C' cup size.
Rowena was in seventh heaven with the opportunities that being the Head Girl offered. In her mind over the last year or so, Rowena had formulated plans, many plans, big plans, that involved her seeing other boys and girls naked but she had so far found only limited situations where she could successfully implement those plans and get other boys and girls naked. Now her new position offered her enormous legitimate access to the bodies of the girls of St Dunstan's Junior School.
Dr Gamble and the Rev Dr Williams were already very impressed with the way Rowena Drysdale was handling the role of Head Prefect and how she had instantly demanded traditional value standards from all the girls present!
The End
