The student, who was the last one to arrive at school, was of course called the "ash-puddle," and he or she also had to suffer. If it was a boy, then the other boys took him behind the school house and hurled him onto the ash pile. Then they rolled him around and rubbed ash in his hair and in his ears, and in his mouth. If it was a girl that came late, then she had to carry a saucer of ashes around after the school teacher the whole morning.
