Interview with Lois Beville Cone 18
March 30, 1995



C: No. I do not anymore.

0: Is it because it is an activity you do not want to do now, or the water is too cold? C: It is an activity I do not want to do now. 0: What kind of discipline did you know at home as you were growing up? How did your
 family handle discipline?

C: My mother disciplined us. My daddy never did, but mother's great thing was for you to go
 and break a switch and bring it in here to her, and do not get one that is going to break,
 because if you do, you will go out and get another one. 0: So she used the switch?

C: She used the switch.

0: What kinds of offenses did she call for the use of the switch? Do you remember? C: Oh, probably when Ethel and I would get in a fight, you know. We were just a year apart,
 and instead of being very, I can't think of the word I want to use, instead of being very close, I resented Ethel because she would pout, I would just get so mad and mother would say, "Now Lois, you just know Ethel, she is so sensitive, you just can not do that" and I would think, well I'm sensitive too. But really, we were a very agreeable, a happy family growing
 up. I can't remember too much discord or unhappiness.

0: And you and your sister, Ethel were close, and became very close as you got older? C: Yes, yes. I think that comes with age. I think in most families that happens. As you get older
 you become very loving of each other.

0 Do you remember what kind of discipline was used at school, on students at school, say in
 your elementary school?

C: I never had to, but I assume we went to the principal and he probably used a ruler, but I do
 not remember.

0: You do not remember?

C: No, I do not really.
