At my high school there was a phenomenon commonly referred to as “getting Schenked.”
Despite the sound, it wasn’t an act of violence. It meant you got called out or even punished for being out of dress code by one of the school’s administrative assistants, Mrs. Schenk.
My school had a strict business dress code that required boys to wear shirts and ties and girls to wear dresses and skirts no more than 3 inches above the knee or dress pants. Sweatshirts, sneakers, jeans and other casual attire were prohibited. Mrs. Schenk was well known to be one of the strictest enforcers.
