My husband was an altar boy in the early 60s. His main memory is being clouted on the head ‘cause he goofed up during the Mass. The priests were tough in those days.

when I was an altarboy we had a sacristan who had been around since 1943 and he even bullied the priests who had been altar-boys themselves and remembered old Roger the sacristan telling them to follow decorum!

The priests were tough in those days.
When I was a kid (50s), we had a parish priest who was a WWII vet and talked to us like we were his troops.
He caught one kid picking his nose and threatened, "If I see you do that again, I'll break off your arm and hit you with the bloody end of it."
They DO NOT make priests like that anymore. LOL ...
