Reminded me of Benedictine boarding school where our prefect would paddle boys w/ a rubber strap for conduct infractions once a month. As I was a good boy, I seldom got spanked, just a few, but they were fierce. They left an impression. I think 3 was the minimum. Of course it was never bare bottomed. There may have been a tinge of sadism to the ritual. But it was typical of Catholic corporal punishment in the 60s.
